[S] 1 Corinthians 11:1 --
1Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.
[O] Modeling is one of the key components that shapes a culture we live in. We become what we see and hear around us and the funny thing is that even the things we dislike shape the culture so it's not only the ones we try to immitate but everything around us are poised to shape our lives. In our spiritual walk, we are to imitate Jesus so that's not a difficult concept, but what this verse highlighted for me is how I should be in the linked chain so others can model after my relationship with Jesus in turn to be imitating Christ as a result. In order for this to take place, I must first and always need to be imitating Christ consistently so whoever imitates me will not be led astray. This short statement by Paul is auite powerfu.
[A] One by one, mend broken relationships in my life.
[P] Dear God, use me as one of the links in your chain of influence in my workplace. May I be diligent in being a good model for others to draw near to You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
