Romans 8:1-2
There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life in Christ has set me free from the law of sin and death.
What of Today’s Verse…
“Free at last, free at last, praise Lord God Almighty I am free at last.” Becoming a Christian means we have been liberated from law-keeping. We now have God living in us, through the Holy Spirit, to not only help us know his will, but to live it. Through the Spirit’s power, we can do what no law could make us do: live up to God’s standards of righteousness.
Â
Let us Pray:
Gracious father, thank you for all of your gifts to me. Today, I want to especially thank you for liberating me from law and empowering me with your Spirit. Fill me and empower me today with your Spirit as I live my life for you. Through Jesus my Lord I pray. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Frustration…
Do you ever have one of those days when nothing seems to go right? Disappointment piles on top of frustration. One little thing goes wrong, and you mentally start to fight it. Once you’ve got that attitude, frustration keeps cropping up everywhere.
Your frustration is not the result of external events. It is your feelings about those events that cause you to be frustrated. Because you are the source of your own frustration and anxiety, you can make it vanish, too.
The key is acceptance. It breaks the downward spiral of frustration. Accept the moment for what it is. No person or thing is attempting to frustrate you — that’s just the reaction you’re having. Accept what is, without a fight, and you’ll have the energy to make a positive change in the situation.
