Today’s Scripture: Galatians 5:14, NKJV- “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Paul boiled down all the law into one word and we cannot do it alone. I am reminded of Romans 7:18 which is the first biblical comparison for Step One in Celebrate recovery, “For I know that good itself ... Continue Reading »
Thank You Jesus for living in me and giving me hope.
Today’s Scripture: Colossians 1:27, NKJV – “To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” At times God can seem a million miles away but then in an instant we can receive Him inside of us. Sometimes my prayers can begin as a rambling mess. My head ... Continue Reading »
God, thank You for Your great love for us.
Today’s Scripture: Ephesians 2:4-5, NKJV- “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),” The cares of this world can quickly distract us from God’s care and great love for us.

Today’s Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:14, NKJV- “And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power.” Paul covers a lot of ground and steps on a lot of toes in 1 Corinthians. When we are called by God, cleansed by Jesus Christ, and raised up by the Holy Spirit, we are to live as God has called us to live. We are not supposed to ... Continue Reading »
I am living with grace.
Today’s Scripture: Galatians 5:4, NKJV- “You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.” We must live with the Spirit of Jesus. Paul experienced the extremes of the flesh. From his own transition from persecutor of Christ followers, to being His apostle, to the persecuted. In ... Continue Reading »
I am turning to follow the Spirit.
Today’s Scripture: Galatians 5:18, NKJV- “But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” Our emotions can escalate or descend in a split second. Due to several reasons I was unable to finish my devotional yesterday entitled “I am being led by the Spirit.” Moments after writing these words I was driving and someone in front of me ...

I am praying constantly.
Today’s Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17, HCSB- “Pray constantly.” Paul knew that the only way the Thessalonians and we could be who God calls us to be is to pray without ceasing. Sandwiched in between being instructed to rejoice always and giving thanks in all circumstances we are told to pray constantly. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 instructs us to ... Continue Reading »
