• In technology, we need to stay current with new trends, tools, etc. to grow our skills and capabilities.   In our spiritual life, how do we keep our faith fresh and continue to grow our faith and relationship with God?

Hey Class,

I can certainly appreciate the fact that we should consider how to stay fresh within our faith. Seriously though, we know when to upgrade our phones, our vehicles, and our home decor. Yet, many of us, including myself, do not know when or how to update/upgrade our faith. This devotion has allowed for myself to think about ways to improve and strengthen my faith or my relationship with God.

I think a good way to do this may be to volunteer and serve the community at large in some capacity. This act will promote or spark a connection with the Lord and Savior. This is what I call a ‘aha’ moment. We need moments like this to realize the good. I do think we need to constantly stay Intune with the Lord and Savior.

Thanks all I’ve gpt.

God Bless,

Kevin

Kevin,

I love your idea of volunteering to give back. We volunteer to help others but usually we get more back than we give.

I have a tremendous amount of work to do here!

God Bless,

It is important to keep our faith fresh and up to date with Christ. A couple of ways that I have found to do this is with my prayer. I started this a couple of years ago and I found it to be not only good for me in my spiritual walk with Christ but it helps make me aware of things going on in other countries or parts of the world. At the beginning of each week, I pick a country or city to pray for. I look up current events in the area, the most popular and common form of religion (if they have one), and the economic status of the area and I pray that God helps them in whatever way they need help. That could be economic assistance, the spreading of the Gospel of Jesus, medical supplies and help, humanitarian assistance, or prayer for peace if they are in a war-torn area. I pray for them with what God lays on my heart.

The other way I found to stay fresh and renewed in my spiritual walk with Christ is in my daily devotions. I have found several different websites and books to help me with this. They are devotions that pertain to today’s world and society. The devotions have been very eye-opening to me to see God’s word and His work from other points of view. It has helped me to see what God is doing in not only my life but around the world as well.

What an interesting approach, Kelly! I really like the idea of focusing prayers during a week. I think I will add that to my prayer list!
