I squandered getting with it this morning. Went to too many websites. Now trying to recoup.
Yesterday we had a great time with Pete and Roxanne. They helped us transplant some flowers and Pete and I worked on the gas hedge trimmer to no avail. This morning I am heading to Panera to meet with 3 other guys. Then Pam and I are going to test drive an Itasca down near Fredericksburg.
Devotions
1 Peter 2:13 – 25
- v13 – Submit yourself for the Lord’s sake to every authority instituted among men. This is pretty broad and covers lots of things. I need to yield (will, actions, emotions) not to myself or my flesh but to others. Not for my sake or for there’s but for the Lord’s sake. I don’t take his view into consideration much but I should. Like right now.
- v16,17 – For it is God’s will…live as free men…show proper respect…love the brotherhood…fear God honor the king. I need to determine that I will do God’s will for my life today at this moment and throughout the day. But I get caught up in my own flesh and wrestle with it and decide way to easy to give in. It is his will that I align with authority and also discipline my mind and body. In both times he wants me to do so as a free man, not one chained by legalism or other people opinions. And he will help me love and give grace and to fear him more because he is the One and Only king of my soul. And all creation.
Prayer
