This is Easter week. This is the season that we remember the sacrifice and resurrection of Christ; a week that we thank Him for what He did for us; and a week that we make new commitments to make changes in our life and follow Him. I encourage you to take a few minutes this week to evaluate your spiritual condition (have a Psalms 139:23-24 moment). This is something that I do Easter week. I find that it is encouraging and really helps me in a couple of areas. For instance, it helps me to realize that God is in control so I do not have to fear. It also helps me to recognize where I have gotten off course a little and need to redirect myself back to Him. Finally, it helps me to refocus on what is truly important in life and that is Christ.
This is not a time for reflection and condemnation, this is a time for reflection and repentance. It is what I do and it helps. I encourage you to give it a shot. It may be something that becomes valuable to you as well.
