Today I started a new daily devotional for my morning time with God. It’s called, “New Day, New You” by Joyce Meyer. The topic for today’s devotional was willpower vs. God’s Power, and it brought some interesting reflection.
When you hit a rough patch what do you do?
As Americans we are brought up in a culture that says, “You hitch yourself up by your boot straps and you keeping going.” There is a lot of pride in this world and especially in the United States, but is one stronger when they bring themselves up by their boot straps or when they say: “Lord help me.”
We are commanded by God to be led by His spirit, in fact in John 15:5, John says that “apart from God, we can do nothing.” I would interpret that mean that without a relationship with God we exist but we don’t really live.
When was the last time you really felt that you were alive? Like really alive, the kind of feeling that gives you such passion for God and life and people, when did you last feel this?
I challenge all of us this week to search for God’s spirit and to embrace it no matter the circumstances.
Again, Thank You Lord for this amazing reminder of your presence amongst us!
