Scripture: Romans 10:8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:

Observation: The word of God is in my heart and the Holy Spirit brings it to my mouth when I need it to witness, encourage and rebuke others. I don’t use it often enough, I don’t put myself in situations where I can witness effectively for my Lord.

Application: I need to continue to always be in the word of God so it is planted deep within my heart. I need to meditate on his word day and night so I will be ready when God puts people in my path that I may witness to them. Put myself in situations where I can tell others about the gospel of Faith.

Prayer: Dear Lord take other distractions from me so I’m focused on doing your will. Place deep in my heart your word that I may share it with those that don’t know you.

Scripture: Romans 9: ” [21] Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use?

Observation: I am a creation of my Father and he has the right to do with me as he desires. I was created for a purpose and yesterday I was able to fulfill a little of it when I was part of the outreach at the beach for the homeless. Teri and I cooked and organized the outreach and God blessed it. This was of simple thing but to me I felt honored to glorify God yesterday.

Application: To continue to search for the ways God wants to use me for his glory. To stay in his will so I’m aware of the purpose I’m to play in this life until it’s time to go home with my God. No matter what use God has for me in my heart it is noble because I serve the King.

Prayer: Dear Lord I’m your servant, your slave. Use me as your desire do not let me turn away from the things you want to use me for, I belong to you

Scripture: Romans 8:6 The mind of the sinful man is death. But the mind controlled by the spirit is life and peace

Observation: This is why I don’t have peace most of the time I’m not letting the spirit control my life I’m trying to live it in my own flesh. God knows what is best for me yet I try to do things on my own disregarding how the Holy Spirit wants to lead me.

Application: I need to trust God with all my heart and lean not on my own abilities but allow the Holy Spirit to guide me each day. I need to let go of my own abilities and give them up to God to use.

Prayer: Dear Lord take this servant I freely give you this life as a living sacrifice and ask you to guide me this day. To fill me with the Holy Spirit and give me peace.
