Good Morning Girlz!!!
S - "Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them." 5:6-7
O - Ephesians 5 continues to press upon me the need to be set apart. To be in the world, but not of it. Verse 6 warns us to not be drawn into deceptive words. What slippery ground this can be! Stand strong and be wise.
A - Sometimes I think this is too hard! There are so many restrictions and do and don'ts that it is just too hard to be obedient. Why can't I just go with the flow, have fun, make it easy, and not have to be different??? Then I calm down and I realize that there is a purpose and a reason in all of God's counsel. His design of how it should work is infinitly better than any immediate gratification I want in the moment. I chose to trust Him.
P - Lord I want to be strong. I want to say no to temptation and I want to be obedient to you in all areas. You know best. Help me embrace this not in defeat, but in freedom. Thank you for protecting me, even when my fingers are leary to let go of the very thing bringing me down. May my heart desire what You desire for me. Help me to see that and to walk away from that which is not in Your plan.
