Daily Devotional

 Started the day yesterday exploring a Christian book store and picked up a couple books. After all investing in the relationship with God is always a good investment!!

I've never left my beliefs in God, kept up my prayers, reading scriptures, I left the church and I left my ministries. 

My spiritual relationship was weak to say the least. I considered myself to have become a sinner that believes in God.

2025 ~ A New Year...

 I would rather be a Christian that's saved sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost, moving forward. I'd like to end my life in the ministry rather than on the road I recently traveled.

The best place to start is with devotion. Starting the day with a minute or two of God.

What better title right now with the situation at hand?

Ironically day 1 speaks on sleeping peacefully under God's protective hands.

For 8 months I have had God keeping me safe and warm at night. There's been a few super cold ❄️ nights, no snow but for the most part, this has been the warmest winter weather here in years.

I know He's been with me on this journey, waiting for me to figure out where I want to be. 

I've figured out a lot of things over the last few months, come to understand a few things and a few people.

60 was a hard year to get to, now to get through it. 
Better days coming!! I can feel it. We are on a new path.

Faith ~ How strong is your faith?

 Hebrew 11:1

Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Word on housing.... Still waiting. 
Apt manager out sick so it's another weekend of not knowing...

Trusting in the Lord and His plan.

Ironically, my next study led me to the topic of faith...

GALATIANS 

Specifically Chapter 3.

3:7
Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
3:8
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, in thee shall all nations be blessed.
3:9
So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

3:11
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident:
For the just shall live by faith.

3:22
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

3:26
For you are all the children of God by faith in Jesus Christ.

3:28
There is neither jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male or female,
For you are all one in Christ Jesus.

So, here we are learning patience, trusting God, His plan and His perfect timing. 

I put the housing situation in God's hands.

There is absolutely nothing I can do. 

Now we just get up every day and focus on improving the relationship with God, taking care of daily responsibilities and study. 

While we Wait until what ever happens happens.

With Faith that God has my best at hand. 

Now knowing that my faith is a key 🗝️ to unlocking 🔐 a better relationship with God.
