Spending My Life Training to be Good at This

Daily writing prompt
What are you good at?

Deep inside myself, I want to be a good follower. I want to set aside my own thoughts, desires, feelings, and opinions and follow those of another instead. However, there’s something else in me that wants my own way. I have to battle every day and fight an inner fight to deny myself and to seek to be a faithful Christ-follower. I train day and night to be a Spirit-led disciple of Christ. I give my all trying not to miss, ignore, or disobey the inner leadings of God’s Spirit.

This morning this poem came to me. I call it: “Don’t Miss Today’s Spirit Nudges.”

God’s Spirit speaks.
God’s Spirit nudges
God’s Spirit can free us
From all our grudges.

God’s Spirit leads.
God’s Spirit flows.
God’s Spirit shows
That Jesus rose!

God’s Spirit prompts
God’s Spirit guides
God’s Spirit wants
To align our strides.

To receive the power
Of God’s Spirit
Obey His prompting
When you hear it.

Then you’ll be His witness
Demonstrating His love,
The miracle of His presence,
And His power from above.

Let the risen Jesus
Talk inside of your heart.
Follow the nudgings
That He imparts.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
