Spiritual WOD 7/25/13

Scripture: Psalms 18:24

Reflection:  Who is your friend? Who is not only there when you ask them to come help but also will stop and pray with you. 

Duty:  Go to that friend or friends and pray with them.  I know no matter what it is they are doing, it will make their day or even their week.

Spiritual WOD 7/7/13

Scripture:  Proverbs 18: 16-18

Reflection: " Be careful of your witness, as well as your words, in front of those you seek to influence.  Satan will try to negate your witness by your works.  One false move and all that you say will be meaningless.  if you are going to preach about the judgement to come, live as though you are ready for the judgement.  Then your witness will be powerful." 
                                                                          - Larry Stockstill

In my words... if you're going to preach faith, love, and respect to other people in hopes that they become closer to God.  You better be leading that same Godly path with your life.  

Duty:  Go out of your way to do a random act of kindness.  Show God and other your good heart by blessing someone else.

Spiritual WOD 7/3/13

Scripture:  Proverbs 18: 9-10

Reflection:  You will have to make an effort to be closer to God.  Sitting on the coach thinking about reading your bible isn't actually reading it.  Make sense?  Just like going to the gym.  You may want  to make a change in life to loose the weight and become healthy but just thinking about it isn't going to make the pounds fall off.  You need to go dust off that Bible, crack open the pages and let it lead your life.

Duty:  If you're not reading your bible everyday or have a hard time getting started; then try the "one year Bible."  There are lots of resources on the internet that you can find a one year bible to follow.  So if you follow one by reading a little every day, you'll have read the whole book in one year.  Don't forget to pray before you read.  Helps get the spiritual ball rolling.

Spiritual WOD 7/2/13

Scripture: 2 Kings 19:35

Reflection: What are some battles in your life?  Could be a simple task you trying to accomplish, or maybe an addiction.  Everyone in everyday go through a battle of some sort.  The Bible talks about taking out an entire army for one man.  But sometimes your daily battle can feel like you're taking on an army in its own.

Duty:  Pray to God about your battle no matter how big or how small.  I promise He is listening.
