Luke 22:42 – Father, if
you are willing remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will but yours be
done.
Psalm 16:5 – The Lord is
my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot.
Romans 12:2-3 – Do not be
conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind. That
by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable
and perfect.
Philippians 4:8, 13
– Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any
excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these
things. I can do all things through
Christ who strengthens me.
Savanah,
I pray every day that God will take a strong hold in your life and not let you
be taken to the limits just like I have. Everything I have done in my life
started out o.k. and no big deal, something that grew into a cancer in my life.
Satan tempts us with the most normal things and if we are not very careful to
resist him, he will suck us under and cause much pain and hard times in the
years to come. I can’t stress enough how important it is to stay on the
straight and narrow. Read, pray, turn from sin, and surround yourselves with
people doing the same.
Prayer: Father
God, help us to recognize these things in our life that look o.k. but are a trap.
Help us Lord to see the narrow road. Help us to know your will and give us the
strength to make the right choices. Your will be done in our lives Lord. In
Jesus name, Amen
Thoughts: Lately I have
been feeling dry in my writing. Like the new is wearing off. For the last few
months writing has become a release, a way to express myself. I don’t feel like
I have much to write about right now but I continue to write because I feel
like it is a responsibility I have to the few people who read it. I think
lately my problem has been that I have been so busy writing and talking to God
that I haven’t had much time to listen to Him. Just sit in the quiet and
listen. I feel like we can get the same way in life whether you write or not!
Do we ever take time to stop doing and just listen to what God has to say?
