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 »
I am convinced and thankful that we always have God’s love.
Today’s Scripture: Romans 8:39, NIV- “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Paul was convinced, are you? It makes ... Continue Reading »
God, be merciful to me, the sinner.
Today’s Scripture: Luke 18:13, BLB, “But the tax collector, standing afar off, was not even willing to lift up the eyes to heaven, but was striking his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, the sinner!'” We try every trick in the book to overcome our sins, don’t we? I know I have tried every logical method to stop my sinning. I have accepted ... 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 have seen the rewards of the unseen.
Today’s Scripture: Matthew 6:18, NIV- “so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” I love how the Spirit of God directs us. When we experience God, we realize how little control we have over our lives. However, we can ... Continue Reading »
We are all members of one another.
Today’s Scripture: Ephesians 4:25, NKJV- “Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another.” In Step One and Lesson One, Celebrate Recovery references Ephesians 4:25 to remind us that we are members of the same body. It warns us that our denials can alienate us from one ... Continue Reading »
I am proclaiming what I have seen and heard so you also may have fellowship with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
Today’s Scripture: 1 John 1:3, NIV- “We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.” I am not trying to convince anyone of the validity of God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. However, I would love to welcome others into this ... Continue Reading »
