Day 5 of 365: The Processing

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

As my day comes to a close and I think about our 365-day devotional journey together, we have to consider several factors coming ahead.

First, we have to know that as we walk this journey and go deeper and deeper into our divine nature, there will be a processing  that will not allow us to stay the same. Be prepared for change. We can not go higher and stay in the same place at the same time. You will have to decide which path you are going to take. Both paths will cost something.

Scripture Passage for the Day

Proverbs 3:5-6
New International Version


5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, we know in this season of our spiritual journey that you are a consuming fire burning out everything that is not like you. We climb on the altar willingly and say, “Have your way, Lord.”

In the precious and perfect name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. And we let it be.. and so it is.

Amen, Amen and Amen

Lean Not…

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Good morning, Precious Family:

Since last Wednesday’s Devotional, there has been a reoccurring theme in the conversations I’ve had with several close people in my life.

The topic that the Holy Spirit keeps bringing up is regarding leaning NOT on our limited understanding but instead to trust God and the instructions he is giving us, no matter how they may sound. The Word of God is very clear when it comes to our understanding and God’s infinite wisdom.

Word of Instruction

Proverbs 3:5-6

New International Version

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.[a]

Trust and independence are two attributes that tend to bump heads. Typically, a person that is very independent, likes to be in control of the world around them. One of the hardest things for most people is to release control to someone else.

The main reason why there is so much hesitation in trusting God is that the person can not be in control of the outcome. However, trusting in the Lord and surrendering our will to His is a true faith walk as well as a daily act of worship.

We must understand that God’s Word is full of amazing blessings and promises when we put our whole trust in him.

Our prayer today needs to be a prayer of trust and faith. We must understand that the Holy One, who knew us even before we were in our mother’s womb, is the same Holy One that knows us now. We were created with a purpose. Trust God and believe that if you ask in faith, Jesus will…

Homework

Over the next week, study the Bible for passages about trusting in the Lord and having faith in the Lord. If you feel led, share with me what passages you read and how they helped you.

Song of Worship and Faith…

I love you with the amazing and everlasting love of our Lord and Redeemer, Jesus, The Christ.

Your sister,
