Our Daily Bread
I am a klutz. If there is a way to spill something on myself or stain a new piece of clothing or whatever, I will usually find that way. Fortunately, there are laundry products available to help me "Shout it out!" ha!
When it comes to our hearts, God offers us something new and exciting -- a clean heart. The coolest part is that we don't have to "shout it out!"! We just ask God for forgiveness and do our best to not sin again. The latter is the difference between someone that is just trying to cover up sins and someone that is truly repentant. Yes, we are all human. It is very difficult to avoid our pet sins. We all have them!
If we confess our sins, he is willing and able to forgive our sins. He is also willing and able to help us walk in his light!
Lord, thank you for offering us a life in your light! Please help us to never walk in darkness again!
Psalm Sunday
Psalm 56 is the psalm today. It never ceases to amaze me how God works. I read this psalm after writing the devotional stuff above. Look at verse 13! Doesn't that sound like the stuff I wrote above! Doesn't that sound like God is speaking to us to walk in his life of light (or light of life)! Amen!
Psalm 56
For the director of music. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks.” Of David. A miktam. When the Philistines had seized him in Gath.
1 Be merciful to me, my God,
for my enemies are in hot pursuit;
all day long they press their attack.
2 My adversaries pursue me all day long;
in their pride many are attacking me.
3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?
5 All day long they twist my words;
all their schemes are for my ruin.
6 They conspire, they lurk,
they watch my steps,
hoping to take my life.
7 Because of their wickedness do not let them escape;
in your anger, God, bring the nations down.
8 Record my misery;
list my tears on your scroll —
are they not in your record?
9 Then my enemies will turn back
when I call for help.
By this I will know that God is for me.
10 In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise—
11 in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can man do to me?
12 I am under vows to you, my God;
I will present my thank offerings to you.
13 For you have delivered me from death
and my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.

Let go, my friends! God will be there to catch you and hold you in his loving arms!
Guide me feet, dear Lord. Running this race in vain is NOT an option!
