Shipwrecked Faith
November is a time when God often initiates transitions in our lives to move us to the next level. As we transition there will often be important decisions to make. And when we make those decisions it's important to pay attention to our conscience, because decisions that override our conscience can shipwreck our faith.
1 Timothy 1:18-19 says, "Timothy, my child, I entrust you with this command in keeping with the previous prophecies about you, so that by them you may fight the good fight, 19 holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and thereby shipwrecked their faith.
When we override our conscience I think it shipwrecks our faith because we lose confidence in our relationship with God.
In today's communion we are asking God to teach us about the importance of our conscience and to help us walk follow the leading of our conscience as we make decisions.
Today's Health and Fitness Tip
The conscience is not often talked about when it comes to our health, but it plays a major role. Today we are also asking God to help us understand the role our conscience plays in our health.
I am praying for you.
