A day won\u2019t go by that my thoughts and actions draw away from my Lord and I do what I want.  Why isn\u2019t what I want the same as what God wants?  When I do God\u2019s will I have joy and peace and whenever I don\u2019t, I often regret those decisions, but yet I return to my folly.  The Lord speaks to me, why don\u2019t I listen?<\/p>\n<p>Application: I need to live each day for the Lord and not for me.  I own nothing and have no rights I\u2019m a slave to Christ and need to act that way.  I\u2019m not a ruler but a servant and I need to be serving with a humble heart.  I need to listen for the voice of my master and obey with no other agenda, but to fulfill the plan the Lord has given me.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer:  My Lord please forgive me for my arrogance and humble your servant.  Give me a loving caring heart for others that I can point them to you.  Speak to me and show me how to hear and obey.  I give you this life freely, use it for your glory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scripture Psalms 85:8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak, For He will speak peace To His people and to His saints; But let them not turn back to folly.
