Good morning 🌞☀️
I started my day with meditation and reflection on Psalm 119. May God bless and keep you close today. May he surprise and reveal himself to you in a new and unexpected way.
“Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord.
Blessed are those who keep his statutes
and seek him with all their heart—they do no wrong but follow his ways.
You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed. Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees!
Then I would not be put to shame when I consider all your commands. I will praise you with an upright heart as I learn your righteous laws.
I will obey your decrees; do not utterly forsake me.” Psalm 119: 1-8 (NIV).

I prayed for today’s scripture and this is what the Lord dropped into my spirit. Maybe we all need this reminder that God has high standards. Christianity is a come as you are religion, but we are expected to allow Christ and the Holy Spirit to change us from the inside out.
“Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.”
1 Corinthians 6: 9-10 (ESV).

“A Call to Repentance
Come, and let us return to the Lord;
For He has torn, but He will heal us;
He has stricken, but He will bind us up.
After two days He will revive us;
On the third day He will raise us up,
That we may live in His sight.
Let us know,
Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord. His going forth is established as the morning;
He will come to us like the rain,
Like the latter and former rain to the earth.”
Hosea 6:1-3 (NKJV).
