Repurpose

1 Corinthians 5:1-5 (Read this for more thought later)

I have been preaching the last four weeks about repurposing our lives. I thought that this would make a great blog entry as it means something a little bit different for me each and everyday.
First have you heard of this whole repurpose movement? Here is what it does, it takes something old and makes something completely different out of it, you give it a new purpose! You might take an old pair of jeans and make them into a pocket book. You might take a cool tea kettle and make it into a flower planter.
As I continue to think about this I believe that it is time that we repurpose our lives back to God and His word. I realize that we have had God's word for a long time but for a long time it just sits on our shelves and looks pretty collecting dust! Why not repurpose God's word for it's original purpose to get to know the creator of the universe? How can you and I expect to be the people that God called us to be if we don't know him? It's time that we took some time daily and read God's word and spend some time with him on a daily basis. We need to repurpose our lives.

Psalm 119:9-16--"How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might no sin against you. Praise be to you, O LORD; teach me you decrees. With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth. I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word."

Can you make that your prayer starting today for the rest of your life?
