First Days...

Day 4:Finally, I'm beginning to become desperate for the Lord's presence. I'm in love & don't want the time with Him to end...
Day 5: Early-beginning to get weepy, broken & humble...my favorite place to be. The Lord is sweet to me...
Day 6: Thankful for the Lord's goodness, for His protection, His creativity, His beautiful creation, that He gives me senses to enjoy the works of His hands, for the time with Bri
Day 7:I'm in love-my heart cries holy....
More than a week ago the scripture Psalm 31:8 opened my eyes to a wrong perspective I had. You have not handed me over to my enemies but have set me in a safe place.
Early this week- Psalm 35:1-3 O Lord, oppose those who oppose me. Fight those who fight against me. Put on your armor, and take up your shield. Prepare for battle, and come to my aid.Lift up your spear and javelin against those who pursue me. Let me hear you say, "I will give you victory!"
This reavealed a wrong perception that I didn't realize I had that I believed that the Lord would come to anyone else's aid who was in trouble. But, when it came to me, it was as if He expected me to win all of my battles alone while He was present, but from afar. I never doubt God's ability, but doubted His "want to" when it came to me. Yet again today the title of my devo is "The Lord Shall Fight For You!" This is noteable the place He is beginning with me.

  1. Kristi, thank you for sharing the bible verses that come to you, I'm not familiar enough with the bible "yet" to know which verses to look for but I'm excited about getting to that point.

    I truly love how you ended this "The Lord Shall Fight For You" this is very motivating for me because I also need to know he's fighting for me.

    Praying with you,
    Cristol
