My Devotion

As a result of living in sin, I was God's enemy. But I am reconciled through the death of Christ in his body. I must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it without drifting from the assurance I received when I heard the Truth. (Colossians 1:21-23). I have killed all the sinful, earthly things in me because these sins will bring the wrath of God (Colossians 3: 5-8). But now I will put on my new nature and be renewed as I come to know Christ and become like him. I have died with Christ, and he has set me free from the spiritual powers of this world (Colossians 2:20). I will let my roots grow down into Christ and led my life be built on him. Then my faith will grow strong in truth I was taught and I will overflow with thankfulness (Colossians 2:7). I will work willingly at whatever I do, as though I am working for the Lord rather than people (Colossians 3:23). I will devote myself to prayer with an alert mind and thankful heart. <3

Proverbs 21:8

Mixed motives twist life into tangles; pure motives take you straight down the road.

~Proverbs 21:8

Luke 4:18

The Spirit of the Heavenly Father is upon me, becouse he has gifted and annointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he sends me to heal the broken hearted, to deliver the ones in captivity, to recover sight to the blind. The Spirit of the Lord is with me. ~ Luke 4:18

Psalms 41

Blessed is he who has regard for the weak;

the Lord delivers him in times of trouble.

2The Lord will protect him and preserve his life;

he will bless him in the land

and not surrender him to the desire of his foes.

3The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed

and restore him from his bed of illness.

4I said, “O Lord, have mercy on me;

heal me, for I have sinned against you.”

5My enemies say of me in malice,

“When will he die and his name perish?”

6Whenever one comes to see me,

he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander;

then he goes out and spreads it abroad.

7All my enemies whisper together against me;

they imagine the worst for me, saying,

8“A vile disease has beset him;

he will never get up from the place where he lies.”

9Even my close friend, whom I trusted,

he who shared my bread,

has lifted up his heel against me.

10But you, O Lord, have mercy on me;

raise me up, that I may repay them.

11I know that you are pleased with me,

for my enemy does not triumph over me.

12In my integrity you uphold me

and set me in your presence forever.

13Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,

from everlasting to everlasting.

Amen and Amen.

Psalms 23 (NIV)

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2He makes me lie down in green pastures,

he leads me beside quiet waters,

3he restores my soul.

He guides me in paths of righteousness

for his name’s sake.

4Even though I walk

through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil,

for you are with me;

your rod and your staff,

they comfort me.

5You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

6Surely goodness and love will follow me

all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord

forever.

Psalms 91 (NIV)

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will rest in the shadow of the Almighty
     I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
   He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
   You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
   A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
   You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
  If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the Lord, who is my refuge—
  then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
   For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
   they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
    You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
   “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
    He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
    With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
