• "Sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under the law but under grace." Rom 6:14 Beth Moore just released a new online study in the book of Galatians. @BethMooreGalatians Having not done one of Beth's studies for years (they are geared mostly toward group study through local churches) I was eager to sign up. One of the parting questions for Day One is: Might the prospect of a fresh grace awakening be welcome to you right now? I don't know about you, but I can't imagine ever answering this question to the negative. Now more than ever, I've found that I need a fresh anointing of grace each day to deal with the onslaught of - what shall we call it? Chaos, madness, debauchery, ridiculousness, flat out evil??? - that seems to have shifted from a background noise to a predominate soundtrack.  The actions of others is never an excuse to sin. But, friend, loving your enemies is HARD and "taking every thought captive to obey Christ" (2Cor10:5) requires a power beyond myself! (And, yes, our thoughts matter!!) "But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."  (1Cor15:57) Not only that, I need a fresh grace awakening to combat this weariness that comes from enduring through this daily battle. Submersing ourselves in His word is not an escape, rather it is preparation, it is filling up and a gearing up for the battles yet to come. "God is good, and He makes us good by His grace, so that we become the pure in heart who will see God." C.H. Spurgeon So, dear heart, stand and let the Grace by which Christ has set us free wash over you and do not be soiled by the stain of sin. (Gal5:1) Shalom. . . . #Devotions #Devotional #SeekHimFirst #ChristFollower #Bible #InTheWord #Scripture #WomenInTheWord #BeDeeplyRooted #Faith #InspiredByJune #iheartnature_nm #tnhusa #usa_naturehippys #naturehippys_  #iheartnature #bestnatureshots #eye_spy_nature #TexasNature #TexasThroughHerLens #TexasWildlife #igTexas #NorthernCardinal #birds_adored #eye_spy_birds #backyardbirding #TexasBirds #BirdsofTexas #FeatheredFriends #birdsofinstagram

  • "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God." 2Cor 1:3-4 Are you looking for a purpose to your suffering? Here in the opening verses of 2 Corinthians we find a hint of just one of the greater purposes God has in suffering. Not only does God Himself draw near and comfort us in our affliction, He gifts us that comfort that we may be able to comfort others. God wastes nothing. Everything He does, everything He allows to happen, He works for the good of those who love Him and for His glory! None of us welcome hard times. But how exciting and wonderful it is that we can know that in all our circumstances He is at work and that He invites us to join Him! Light always follows darkness, friend.  His mercies are new every morning.
