When we find ourselves caught in the clutches of the moral >filth of our culture, we find the word of God boring and irrelevant. Yet >even in those moments when Satan uses sin to harden our hearts, God's >Spirit calls us to change at a level deeper than just the mere >understanding of the words of Scripture. Thank God for his Spirit, which >can use his word like a surgeons scalpel on our hearts. > >MY PRAYER... >Holy God, I pledge to you today to willingly and decisively give up the >immoral habits in my life. I recognize that these not only offend your >holiness and grace, but also harden me to your will, pull me away from >your character, and blunt my witness to others. Please forgive me and then >sustain me as I seek to live a life wholly pleasing to you. In Jesus I >pray. Amen. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of >HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/upqdpfa_rwlzrn.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/vftgfkb_rwlzrn.html>http://www.zondervan.com > >If you enjoyed this newsletter, forward it on to a friend. > >* Copyright 2005 Salem Web Network and its Content Providers. >All rights reserved. > > > ~~~~ Alan & Ruth Anne Wheeler <da2ofus@...> Proud owners of the following lists: Ladies Fellowship, LF Newsletter, Bread of Life, Christian Drummer and swgCares at: <www.associate.com>
