I Timothy 2
"...exercise thyself unto godliness."
Exercise takes work. It's uncomfortable and puts you, but majesty you feel better after. I write this after skipping out in my workout session this morning.:( I can rarely say I look forward to exercising, though I don't really loathe it, but after I've done it, I'm rather glad I did and it makes me proud that I've pushed myself and did what was good for me instead of giving into my fleshly laziness. Such is the case with my path of godliness. I'm always glad after the fact that I've chosen the godly choice, and the more I do it the larger and stronger my spiritual muscles get. Thanks for that reminder today, Lord. I love You!

Philippians 1-4
The battlefield of the mind
"Be careful for nothing but by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving lets your requests be made known unto God....whatsoever things are true...think on these things..."
Worrying never solves anything. Tell God about it and don't dwell on negative things.

Ephesians 1-3
Praise Jesus that He destroyed the enmity between me and God! He broke down the wall. By Him I have access to the Father. My little mortal brain can't quite wrap itself around the greatness of that action or the true power of Your sacrifice, Jesus!
Thank You for making it all dependent on you, and not by works. Amazing, amazing grace! I had never paid attention to that verse before about You breaking down the middle wall or the partition. I think I will dwell on that more.

Galatians 6-9 ?
Paul was talking to the Galatians about how you are either lead of the Spirit or if the flesh. They are walking in complete opposite directions. You can't do both. I am either producing fruits of the Spirit or fruits of the flesh.

12. Your husband is defined by who he is and not by what he does.
13. Change yourself, that's an easier burden. You cannot change anyone. If you try to do it, it just leaves you frustrated and discouraged. No amount of talking and pleading, and/or nagging will make a difference. Just as God allows circumstances in our life for our own good, I believe He does the same with relationships. They allow us to look at ourselves and let God allow Him to change us. God put my husband on my life because He knew my husband is what I needed to draw me closer to Him.

Galatians 1-3
Salvation is by faith through grace- not the law! Amen! The law was given to help me realize my need and come to Christ. Thank You Jesus for being my mediator!

2 Corinthians 4-7
Come out from among them and be ye separate faith the Lord. I shouldn't look or act like the world. There should be an obvious difference because I am a child of God, and since He died for me the least I can do is live for Him.
Godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation. Worldly sorrow worketh death. When I feel sorry for ways I've hurt the Lord, it makes me better.
My abundance should be given toward those that lack. It's an unspeakable gift that God had given me. To be able to help others and then they help others too. It's not a welfare system. But it's everyone helping each other in the church. Lord, giving is one area that I need to be more liberal in for sure. Help me to know that balance of providing our needs then also giving toward others in need.
