Daily Devotion

1 Timothy 4:7 Discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness.



Pride, fear, resentment, and habit are all tough evidences of the flesh.
But those who are being shaped into the image of Christ do not go the way of the flesh.

Women and men of God do not manipulate events so that they can be pleased and get what they want.
That's why God crushes pride, removes fear, breaks into resentment, and changes long-standing habits until the whole inner being is renovated...until we rest in our God and are ready for His will, not ours, to be done.
(Bedside Blessings, Charles Swindoll)
