GOD
God our Father has good plans for our life.
Even though our way looks good and right it isn’t.
God’s way is surrender, peace and joy.
Follow Jesus, not your own broken, corrupt way.
01/03 EPHESIANS 4:20-24
20 But that isn’t what you learned about Christ. 21 Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, 22 throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. 23 Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. 24 Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.
CHOICE
Choose God, put on the new nature He gives us.
This new nature makes us righteous and holy as He is holy.
Choose self, keep doing what you have always done.
The sin nature will continue to control you.
Success or failure, our choice.
Choose Jesus.

DO
Do something new in me today Father.
Make my way Your way.
Speak a word of blessing to my heart.
Cover me with your protection,
As evil wages war against us.
Lift me up and set me down in your presence.

Life is for living. We are called to cast our burdens upon the Lord and live with joy and peace.

12/28 Matthew 2:7-12
7 Then Herod called for a private meeting with the wise men, and he learned from them the time when the star first appeared. 8 Then he told them, “Go to Bethlehem and search carefully for the child. And when you find him, come back and tell me so that I can go and worship him, too!”
9 After this interview the wise men went their way. And the star they had seen in the east guided them to Bethlehem. It went ahead of them and stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were filled with joy! 11 They entered the house and saw the child with his mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure chests and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12 When it was time to leave, they returned to their own country by another route, for God had warned them in a dream not to return to Herod.
