Hallelujah, praise the living God for another day to pray for you all and be used by Him. Today I offer these lines from Martin Luther.

“It is one thing to be provoked by the lust of the flesh and refuse to yield to it but instead walk and resist in the Spirit. It is another thing to consent to the flesh without fear or remorse and do its works and remain in them, all the while acting holy and boasting in the Spirit.”

2 John 9
New American Standard Bible 1995

⁹ Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son.

Heavenly Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus, Your servant praises and worships You. 

Bless You, for keeping us from going too far from You. Praise Your teaching and instruction that cover our hearts and minds. Help us to abide in You, always, and to walk in Your Spirit with every step. Let all boasting be in You alone. Thank You for providing us with the glorious teachings of Christ that reveal Your glory as they guide us closer to You. Help me to live out all the instruction You have put inside my heart.

Father, we thank You that You have heard us. Amen in Jesus’ name and by the power of the Holy Spirit.
