Today’s Scripture: Psalm 143:10, NKJV- “Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.” God teaches us to see the world differently. In the light of God’s will we find new lands. Psalm 143 has only twelve verses and they are very instructive. Celebrate Recovery uses Psalm 143:10 in two ... Continue Reading »
We comfort others with the same comfort God has given us.
Today’s scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:4, NLT- “He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.” Why me LORD? Some of us have asked this while going through our troubles. 2 Corinthians, the first chapter, gives us our why. I have spent the ... Continue Reading »
I desire to do Your will, my God.
Today’s Scripture: Psalm 40:8, NIV- “I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.” We must recognize the source of our desires. Reading Romans 7:18 in Celebrate Recovery’s Step 1 this morning, I recalled a verse I read yesterday in Psalm 40. Paul wrote in Romans 7:18, “For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, ... Continue Reading »
Thank You, LORD, for making our steps secure.
Today’s Scripture: Psalm 40:2, ESV- “He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.” Sometimes we do not know which way to go. We find ourselves at a crossroads. I read Jeremiah 6:16 this morning that states “This is what the LORD says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask ... Continue Reading »
I am looking to the Father through the eyes of Jesus.
Today’s Scripture: John 9:39, NIV- “Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.” It is Jesus who opens our blind eyes and blinds what we think we can see. It may sound weird, but I am praising God and thankful for my ignorance and my blind eyes. Hang with me for just a ... Continue Reading »
I have been exposed.
Today’s Scripture: Ephesians 5:13, BSB- “But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that is illuminated becomes a light itself.” The thought of being exposed is nerve wracking. I have two young children going to school fearing the testing they are facing today. Tests do give us anxiety that we may be exposed or ... Continue Reading »
I am walking in love.
Today’s Scripture: Ephesians 5:2, NKJV- “And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.” We must imitate God as Paul wrote in Ephesians 5:1, “Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.” (NKJV) We can only imitate because we do not have the ability, in ...
