Ephesians 4:22-24
22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Take off the old.
Put on the new.
Your life won’t change change unless you change something. A thought. An attitude. An emotion. A desire. A routine.
What if a small, very small change could literally change the direction of your life, change your story line, change how you think, feel, even what you desire?
And what if you could do that in just 5 minutes. Today. Right now? And tomorrow, and the next day.
Is there an area of your life that is causing you a lot of pain right now? Or has God been speaking to you about doing something for him and you haven’t started yet? Maybe there’s something you need to do to strengthen your daily relationship with God? Or with someone else?
*5 Minutes of Appreciation – to God and to the people closest to you – family and friends. How big a change would that be? What did you thank God for today? Think about every day for the last week.
If you did a gratitude journal. How many minutes would you log from last week when you were being grateful to God for something? Grateful to others? Do you ever express your gratitude. What would change in your life if you did? How would you change?
*Or 5 minutes renewing your mind in an area where you struggle. E.g fear, or regret, or guilt/shame. What if you took 5 minutes to look up, journal, and declare a new scripture every day encouraging you to “Fear not” (the most frequent command in the Bible because God knows this is one of Satan’s greatest weapons against us. How bold would you be by the end of the year? How much more peace would you have every day?
5 minutes a day. 1,825 minutes a year. Over 30 hours a year growing stronger in an area where you are hurting or weak. Or touching the lives of others through gratitude, prayer, etc. How much better would your life be if you did that? Their lives? How big an impact could you make in 30 hours of focused, consistent prayer?
You can literally change your life in just 5 minutes a day.
ACTION STEPS:
Let’s do this together.
My 5 minutes. Praying for family who don’t know Jesus. Lost 3 extended family in last couple of years and my heart is hurting: an apparent drug overdose, a surgery gone bad, and a body that just gave out. All 3 were much too young to expect to die. God is calling me to press in and pray for the salvation of unsaved family members.
What about you? If there’s one thing in your life that you would like to change, what would it be?
Now, today – right now, spend 5 minutes doing that. Just 5 minutes – not 6. Do it now. Then schedule a time to do it tomorrow. And the next day.
You just changed the storyline of your life and quite possibly the lives of others. A year from now, you will have spent 30 hours, daily, consistently renewing your thoughts, your beliefs, replacing harmful emotions with joy and peace, and finding healthy ways to fill the desires of your heart. Praying or serving others. Changing the world 5 minutes at a time.
