Greetings 👋
These words are comforting and true. How many times has God rescued you from your enemies?
“The angel of the Lord camps around those who fear Him, and delivers them. . .The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry.
The face of the Lord is against the ones doing evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.
The Lord is near to the broken-hearted, and saves the contrite of spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
A righteous one keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken.” Psalm 34: 7, 15-20 (MEV).
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).
