Today’s Scripture

“So then, beloved ones, the flesh has no claims on us at all, and we have no further obligation to live in obedience to it. For when you live controlled by the flesh, you are about to die. But if the life of the Spirit puts to death the corrupt ways of the flesh, we then taste his abundant life. The mature children of God are those who are moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit. And you did not receive the “spirit of religious duty,” leading you back into the fear of never being good enough. But you have received the “Spirit of full acceptance,” enfolding you into the family of God. And you will never feel orphaned, for as he rises up within us, our spirits join him in saying the words of tender affection, “Beloved Father!” For the Holy Spirit makes God’s fatherhood real to us as he whispers into our innermost being, “You are God’s beloved child!” And since we are his true children, we qualify to share all his treasures, for indeed, we are heirs of God himself. And since we are joined to Christ, we also inherit all that he is and all that he has. We will experience being co-glorified with him provided that we accept his sufferings as our own.”      

Romans 8:12-17

Today’s Thought

We can expect guidance from God all the days of our life. The Holy Spirit's promise to you is to lead you throughout your life. Trust and rely on Him in ALL of the choices and paths that you need to make in life.

Today’s Confession

Holy Spirit, I am so thankful that Jesus sent you to me, to guide and direct my paths into all truth. It was you who revealed to me that I am God’s beloved child, and I accepted my adoption. Thank you for continuing to guide me as I learn to hear and obey all that God would have me do.
