I would like to share a thought with you that is fundamental to our lives. It’s from Psalm 1: “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.” This verse teaches us about the Christian life, about what it shouldn’t be. But what should it be?
“I heard a friend of mine say in his prayer, ‘Lord, if we don’t have a used-to-be story, then we don’t have a changed life.’” I quoted these words in a devotional several years ago and was reminded of them today. Let me share my own used-to-be story and maybe you will connect your own life with it.
How do you choose to live? Where do you hide for safety and trust? I pray these guided biblical meditations will help you decide to live a life surrendered to the protection of God. Choosing to live an abundant life. Choosing to live a life shying away from pride and seeking humility, wanting to share in the sufferings of Christ. Choosing to live for the glory of God!
Praying through scripture is a great way to refresh your prayer life. This 3-day plan centres on God's heart for a hurting world and offers practical ways to pray through His word.
