The first SPORTMOM E-votional issue of each month is dedicated to our Word for the Year... PURSUE!
A movie titled “The Right Stuff” is a fictional account of Navy, Marine and Air Force test pilots who were involved in aeronautical research. It relates the dangers and frustrations facing the astronauts whose personal lives were fraught with various crisis and temptations. The film exposes the heart-wrenching struggle between right living (which was expected by the public) and personal life-altering choices that were anything but squeaky-clean.
Athletes are also in the public eye and expected to hold certain standards of conduct. Most sport programs include certain expectations that spell out the do’s and don’ts for participants. Purposely following the “rules of engagement” is pursuing right living.
WE ARE DESIGNED TO BE IN PURSUIT OF RIGHT LIVING...
(The Lord) loves those who pursue righteousness. Proverbs 15:9 NLT
LOOK TO JESUS AS OUR EXAMPLE...
“Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness and who seek the Lord: Look to the Rock from which you were cut and to the quarry from which you were hewn;” Isaiah 51:1 NIV
TAKE THOUGHTS CAPTIVE...
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Philippians 4:8 NLT
THEN DO IT...
“The right! The right! Pursue only what’s right! It’s the only way you can really live and possess the land that God, your God, is giving you.” Deut. 16:20 The Message
AND JESUS SAID...
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." Matthew 5:6 NIV
PRAYER: I will pursue right living, Lord – not just desire it, hope for it and pray for it but also pursue it! It is your power within that drives me toward right decisions, actions and attitudes. Thank you for making me in your image ... please teach me to live in it. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
CHOOSE RIGHT AND BE FILLED!
