Sunday7th Psalms 34:8
"Taste and see that the Lord is good,. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!"
-To me this is saying the person that finds refuge in the Lord will have great joy. So in a time of need, where we feel like there is nothing else left, and we are depressed or what not, look to the Lord for your refuge and in him you will find Joy.
Monday8th Ephesians 1:19-20
"I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him."
-To me this means that basically God gives us power if we believe in him, and whoever is saying this quote is wanting all of us to see it, and want power from the Lord, therefore have us believe in the Lord.
Tuesday9th Genesis 2:18
"Then the Lord God said 'It is not good for the man to be alone. i will make a helper who is just right for him.'"
-To me this is basically saying that God doesn't want us to be alone.. and he wants us to have earthly relationships.. but he wants them to be the ones that are right for us.. the ones that will suit us right.. in friendships.. in dating.
Wednesday10th Ephesians 4:26-27
"And don't sin by letting anger control you. Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry for anger gives a foothold to the devil."
-I love this passage.. it always makes me think of Puerto Rico, because we studied this there.. but the reason behind this to me is saying, don't be angry because when you are angry you are letting the Devil control you. Which all makes so much sense now that I htink about it.. beacuse when I used to get angry.. my way out wold be to cut.. which is a way of the devil. And now instead of letting that happen, I pray to God that he takes away my anger, and calms my spirit, and when I do that I am letting God in not the Devil. I guess to me this is more of its okay to have the initial reaction of being angry.. its more about how you deal with you anger when you have it, like if you act upon it or you ask God to help you to not act upon it.
Thursday11th(today) Romans 15:7
"Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory."
-This one is a killer to me for sure, I am not going to lie to you have struggles with this all the time.. This is about looking at people that make you mad and having the love that God has in you towards them, beacuse only then will those people see Gods glory through you.
-- I pray today that God helps me to love people that way that he loves them and for me to see people the way that God sees him. So that if I get mad at my Dad, I will still be able to look at my Dad and have Gods love for him, or if my brother makes me angry, for me to do the same thing.. heck this even means that I have to look at Dameon and have the same amount of love that God has for him.. which is hard for me.. because I am a caring person.. but you have to earn that.. you have to earn my love and my trust.
