Daily Devotion: Day 297
Ephesians 5:4 (NLT)
“Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes—these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God.”
Obscenity and coarse joking are so common that we begin to take them for granted. Paul cautions, however, that improper language should have no place in the Christian’s conversation because it does not reflect God’s gracious presence...

Daily Devotion: Day 296
Ephesians 4:26-27 (NIV)
“In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.
The Bible doesn’t tell us that we shouldn’t feel angry, but it points out that it is important to handle our anger properly. If vented thoughtlessly, anger can hurt others and destroy relationships. If bottled up inside, it can...

Daily Devotion: Day 295
Ephesians 1:7-8 (NLT)
“He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding.”

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”

Daily Devotion: Day 293
Galatians 5:25 (NLT)
“Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.”
God is interested in every part of our lives, not just the spiritual part. As we live by the Holy Spirit’s power, we need to submit every aspect of our lives to God - emotional, physical, social, intellectual, vocational. Paul says that because we’re...

I like when people I follow make text posts about just anything in general, about their life or what they’re feeling or just anything. It makes following the person more fun and I get to see the personality of the person I’m following. Reblogged posts are okay, but it’s fun to know the person behind the blog too.
