April 2, 2019 Spirit Meat Daily Devotional : Topic - IMITATING GOD THE FATHER - MATTHEW 5:48
A common theme in the Bible is “examples”. God constantly uses examples to show us how to reach certain outcomes of prosperity, faith, greatness and victory. We are given these examples so that we can imitate what these great men and women did and reach the heights they did in life and destiny.
Let’s examine some examples of those we should imitate in order to achieve the greatness that God has in mind for us.
1. The Almighty God.
The Bible constantly encourages us to be like our Father in heaven. He made us for worship and he strives to see us become just like Him. This covers every spectrum of our being. It affects our words, actions, desires, thoughts and relationships. The Bible tells us in Matthew 5:48 to be therefore perfect, even as our father in heaven is perfect.
This can seem like a daunting, insurmountable task but one thing to note is that the process of imitating God is a life-long process. It never ends. God is infinite in His glory and excellence and as such, we are constantly improving ourselves to be more and more like Him.
The way to imitate God, first and foremost, is to study Him in His word; you need to know Him before you can truly imitate Him. This is our core mission in life and destiny; to be more like him.
PRAYER: Dear father, help me to know you. I ask that you show yourself strong to me and give me the strength to be more like you each day. Amen!
BIBLE IN A YEAR: Deuteronomy 21:1-22:30, Luke 9:51-10:12, Psalm 74:1-23, Proverbs 12:11
