She was telling me about the mission trip that she just went on , and how she learned so much but didn't have time to apply it all. I thought for a minute, and then asked her, "What are some of the things that you are learning that you are not applying?" She said that she didn't know and that she would have to look at her notes.
Ok, so my first thought was to tell her to make a list of all of the things that she learned and that she wanted to apply, and to pick one thing to work on this week. But before I said it, this thought came into my little mind:
I don't know how to be a Christian other than to pray.
Like, if we go throughout our lives trying to accomplish lists, we have fallen into deadly legalism. But if we swing too far to the other end of the pendulum, and say that we are going to "live by the Spirit," and not worry too much about all of the commands, how can we be sure that we are applying those eternal truths that He gives us in His word?
So, the only thing that I know for sure is prayer. Just pray and love.
