Prayer Request: Before I begin today’s Daily Devotional I have a prayer request of my own to make: a few years before I started this page in 2005 I got added to a daily email list that my friend / co-worker Angie sent out call the “Message From Jesus” this daily email is what I used to start “Daily Devotional in Christ” and it continues to be the source for these videos. I found out this morning that my friend Angie is at the hospital sister who is in ICU and is expected to be taken home to The LORD soon. Please pray for Angie , her family and especially her son Tyler, Lift Them up in your prayers
BE ON GUARD against the pit of self-pity. When you are weary or unwell, this demonic trap is the greatest danger you face. Don’t even go near the edge of the pit. Its edges crumble easily, and before you know it, you are on the way down. It is ever so much harder to get out of the pit than to keep a safe distance from it. That is why GOD tells you to be on guard. There are several ways to protect yourself from self-pity. When you are occupied with praising and thanking GOD, it is impossible to feel sorry for yourself. Also, the closer you live to GOD, the more distance there is between you and the pit. Live in the Light of GOD’S Presence by fixing your eyes on The LORD. Then you will be able to run with endurance the race that is set before you, without stumbling or falling.
Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. In Your name they rejoice all day long, And in Your righteousness they are exalted. PSALM 89 : 15 – 16
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.. HEBREWS 12 : 1 – 2 (NKJV)
Prayer: Today Lord we ask you that when we start to feel sorry for ourselves we instead look to your guidance and not inward to ourselves. We trust in you to make things well. Amen
