Good morning and Happy Monday ☀️
Here are passages from Psalm 31 that resonated with me.
“As for me, in my alarm I said, “I have been cut off from your sight!Nevertheless, you heard my pleas
when I cried out to you.
“Love Adonai, you faithful of his.
Adonai preserves the loyal,
but the proud he repays in full.” Psalm 31: 23-24 (CJB).
“For I have heard the slander of many; fear was on every side; while they took counsel together against me, they schemed to take away my life. But I have trusted in Thee, O Lord; I said, “Thou art my God.” My times are in Thy hand; deliver me from the hand of mine enemies and from them that persecute me.” Psalm 31: 13-15 (KJ21).
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).
