Everything we do is a reflection, an outcome if you will, of the values we hold and the influences in our lives. If we immerse ourselves in politics, we will be political. If we immerse ourselves in sports, we will be competitive. If we immerse ourselves in violence, we will have violent tendencies. Our output is determined by our input. If you want peace in your life, immerse yourself in the peace that passes all understanding. If we are to be Christ to the world, we must be so bound to him that when the world sees us, they see him. To what branch or branches have you been grafted? What does the world see when they look at you? What changes do you need to make in terms of the input in your life?
Readings: 2 Samuel 9:1-11:27; John 15:1-27; Psalm 119:49-64; Proverbs 16:1-3
