Today's Reading
Ezra. The people began to face opposition to rebuilding the Temple. It went on for years. Even though God orchestrated their return to The Land, the enemy was doing everything possible to keep them from completing their work. Life can be a struggle. Those who commit themselves to God end up on the winning side, though.
1 Corinthians. It's a mystery how people who are born again get awakened to the truths of God's Spirit. The Word of God, empowered by the Spirit of God, is alive! We can squeeze God out, though, as it says in Chapter 3. The term "sinful nature" in this translation is really not accurate. The accurate word is "flesh." I like it from another translation which calls them people "of a secular mindset." What mindset do you have? I would love to say mine is always on the Spirit, but it's not.
Psalms. When we walk with God, we must always be aware that some people will smile at our faces while looking for us to stumble.
Proverbs. We will never understand everything. We must learn to seek wisdom, yet move out in faith even when we don't have all the answers.

My prayer today is going to be that I would be more aware of the wonderful things that God has freely given me - that I would live that way.
