Day Ten
VictoriousRomans 8:37 God did what the law could not. By allowing the sacrifice of His Son for my sins, God declared an end to sins control over me. Letting the Spirit control my mind leads to life and peace. It is part of my inheritance in Christ. Yet I suffer now. I have tools and…

Day Nine
Dead to SinRomans 6:2 Well, then, should I keep on sinning so that God can give me more and more of His wonderful grace? I mean, I have a free pass, what difference does it make? Isn’t He just going to dole out more forgiveness? Of course not!!! Sounds like a really lame argument doesn’t…

Day Eight
Stand StrongEphesians 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Over the years, I’ve learned that God doesn’t ask me to do something He hasn’t already provided for. When I am at my weakest, His glory is able to shine through the many cracks in this broken pot. It’s not because I…

Day Seven
Set FREEJohn 8:12, 31-32 I never want to take scripture out of context. God has severe punishment awaiting those who do, so it’s important to understand the backstory on this passage.

Day Four
Part of God’s familyEphesians 2:19 TLV Keep in mind, Gentiles (which I am) were called “uncircumcision” and considered, at that time, separate, excluded and having no hope. But now I, who once was far off, have been purchased and redeemed. For He is my shalom (perfect peace, nothing missing, nothing broken). Because of Him I have access…

Day Three
Saved by Grace through FaithEphesians 2:8 NLT God saved me by His grace when I believed in Him. I can’t take credit for that; it’s a gift. My salvation isn’t be a reward for all the good things I’ve done. If that were true, I certainly wouldn’t need Him. I would be able to relax…

Day Two
I Have Been RescuedColossians 1:13-14 TLV Our great cloud of witnesses surrounds us and prays for us while we struggle here on earth. In His Word, God tells me that these witnesses pray for me to be strengthened with all the power that comes from Christ’s glorious light. Not for my own gain but so…

Day One
I am a Child of GodRomans 8:12-17 TLV Abandonment and rejection by others can make living in this world feel impossible. When you consider that we are wired for connection, it makes sense that when we aren’t living in community or are walking the part of the outcast, we begin to die on the inside.…
