Reading: 1 Peter 4:4-6: "They marvel that you no longer rush to join them in the excesses of their corrupt lifestyles, and so they vilify you. But one day they will have to give an account to the one who is destined to judge the living and the dead. This is the reason the gospel was preached to the martyrs before they gave their lives. Even though they were judged by human standards, now they live in spirit by God's standards.
Attack
How often do we find ourselves following human standards without seeking the Lord's perspective?
If we calm for a moment, and seek His guidance, He will pull us away from false and empty pursuits.He will counsel us to recognize corrupt choices, and show us clarity to overcome our struggles.
He will keep us on the path He has invited us to follow and enable us to persevere into the plans He chooses. And give His words for us to absorb and heal.
Please keep us listening to Your nudges, Lord, whether they are difficult or not. Keep us doing Your work as You guide. Even if we only have the ability to do one thing each day--but it may be for You.
Your thoughts,
