Day 13 Step of Faith:
Trust God to be my moral standard.
Is there something God has said He doesn't like that you don't understand? God doesn't like deviant behavior of any sort because it hurts people and relationships. Declaring our sexual preferences and social freedoms to be our rights will never exonerate us for the pain and dysfunction we cause in our family and community
. All of us have sin we enjoy, and that's why the Scripture says that all of us need Jesus. The challenge today is to commit this one day, 24 hours, to not defend what you believe are your rights to God. Today, just decide to trust Him and see if He fills you with peace and contentment for doing so. Who knows, maybe you will make the same commitment tomorrow....
James 4:7-8, "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded."
Isaiah 53:6-7, "
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth."
Romans 3:23-24, "...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, today I decide to agree with you and what you say. I will say the same thing about my sin that you say about it. And today, I commit to you that I will live your way not mine because I choose to love you. Help me to accommodate for your presence in my life. I ask you to fill me with your peace and contentment. In Jesus's Name, Amen.
