Day 23
Day 23 – Wednesday May 16th
A – Today’s reading of the day is James Chapter 3 (New American Standard (NAS) for me.)
Focal verses today are James 3:13-18 “Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy. And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.”
B – RHEMA Strike Verse of the day: 2 Samuel 10:12 “Be strong, and let us show ourselves courageous for the sake of our people and for the cities of our God, and may the LORD do what is good in His sight.” (Courage/Purple)
C – Excerpt from “Wild at Heart” by John Eldridge:
“The control we so desperately crave is an illusion. Far better to give it up in exchange for God’s offer of ...”
D – Today’s input: We have a lot of useless stuff stored in our hearts and in our heads. It’s time to start purging it and replacing it with useful stuff, meaningful stuff, and righteous stuff. What kinds of junk are you holding on to? What kinds of hurts haven’t you let go of? It is time to clear our past and prepare for the future.
E – Today’s prayer focus: Ask God to help you deal with the useless and dead stuff that we continue to store and hold on to.
F – Encouragement and closing thoughts: You may not be able to clear everything out today but it is important to let God know you are willing to allow Him to work on you and with you.
