Steps of Faith~ 29th Sunday of ordinary time

Jer. 29:4-7:God has Jeremiah tell the people to dwell in homes, plant gardens, marry & have children & get involved in the community you are exiled to. In short... live your lives & bless those around you. 

Ps. 66:1-12:Song of praise to God for delivering Israel from slavery.

2 Tim. 2:8-15:Paul gave instructions to Timothy while Paul was in jail for preaching the Gospel. He told him to live a godly life to be a good example to others. Work hard to live your life in such a way that God will be pleased with you. That means tell others what Jesus did for all men & do not sin. 

Luke 17:11-19:Jesus heals 10 lepers, but only one returned to give thanks & praise God.

In times of the Old Testament, Prophets told the Israelites how they should act when they were physical salves in a county, other than theirs (Jer.29:4-7). then They sang songs of praise when God lead them out of Egypt (Ps. 66:1-2). Jesus addressed how we should be when God leads us out of our prison of sin. Wither it be for of soul, or illness. We should always remember to praise and thank God for saving us from the prison of sin (Luke 17:11-19). then we need to live lives in such a way that God will be proud of us. 

Challenge of the week: 

Take the time this week to sit and think about all the ways God has freed you from sin & it's effects on us. Then praise and thank Him for all he has done for you.

Accomplishment of the week:

So what list did you make? How did you praise and thank God for it?
