HAPPENINGS WITH KID’S JUNCTION
Sunday Reflection (August 23, 2020)
What shapes and molds your mind and life? If greed, climbing the social ladder, and politics, shape and mold your mind more than Jesus Christ, then you will not be able to discern spiritual things. If judgmentalism and harshness shape and mold your mind more than God’s grace, then you will not be able to discern spiritual things. If prejudice and hatred shape and mold your mind more than God’s love, then you will not be able to discern spiritual things.
What is shaping and molding your mind, your attitude, your way of life? May we allow the Holy Spirit to shape and mold our minds so that we have a greater understanding of what is good, acceptable, and complete. May we come to understand and discern more of God’s gracious plan for the world and our part in that plan. Even though we are far from perfect do not overlook what God can do through you as you are being transformed by the renewing of your mind!
There is a simplicity and complexity to being transformed by God because “God has not given us a set of detailed commandments to guide us; rather, God has given us the Holy Spirit to work with us to change our hearts and minds (Moo).” The Holy Spirit leads us to discern the correct, loving way to respond to our unique situations (Romans 12:1-2).
Prayer for the Week (August 23-August 29)
Let us thank God our Father for his closeness to us: God, we tremble at the thought of the distance between you and us. Yet, you create us in your own image, so that we cannot fulfill our purpose in life until we first discover your purpose for all of humankind. Through the Holy Spirit, make us aware of your design for human life. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
