daily prayer

   Good morning! How are we faithing? We are a people that like to be accepted. We are a species that seeks approval from others. Our egos need a scratch now and then or we feel hopeless and that our life doesn't matter. So where do you get your approval? Parents? Friends? Spouse? Yep, all of those but that approval should not define you. That approval is for teaching, for confirmation, for respect but the only approval that lasts forever is from God. Without Jesus your deeds find no approval from God. He said it, I didn't. Now, with the help of the Holy Spirit and the Word telling us who we are and where we stand only then can contentment come. I don't mean content without ever pursuing anything else in life but content that your eternity is set and while you are here your works only help others find that peace from God that is not available in anything else on earth. This path we are on while occupying this vessel is meant to glorify God and to be in relationship with the creator. That relationship begets behavior that draws lost people to the light. Check these out;


Romans 12:1-2
 I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
NAS

Ephesians 2:1-2
And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.
NAS

1 Peter 1:14-16
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy."
NAS

Heavenly Father,
   Thank you for your Word that teaches us how to seek your face and to live in your light. We lift our spouses up to you and ask healings and blessing so they may walk according to your Word.

Bring to mind your Word so we may be speak peace and love . in Your holy name we pray Jesus, amen
