Day 21 – Soul Detox

Isaiah 26:1-11

Devotional

Choose by faith to not put your faith in the “what ifs”, but put your faith in God and God alone. This will help you break free from the bondage of toxic fears.

In what ways are you seeking God on a regular basis?

And excellent question for us to answer today. And as to verses from our Text, I am pondering this one:

10 Even if pity is shown to the wicked,

he still doesn’t learn what righteousness is.

In a land of uprightness he will still act wrongly

and fail to see the majesty of Adonai.

via Isaiah 26:1-11 CJB;NASB – On that day this song will be sung in – Bible Gateway.

Day 22 – Soul Detox

Proverbs 25:26-27

3 John 1:11

Devotional

Our lives are full of cultural toxins, which are those things that are culturally acceptable, but hurt our souls. Cultural toxins can be found in the books we read, the magazines we read, the music we listen to, the television shows we watch, and in the movies we watch. When we allow cultural toxins into our lives, it pollutes us. This week you will learn what God’s Word says about the dangers of cultural toxins and the importance of focusing on things that draw us closer to God.

What are some of the cultural toxins you currently have in your life? How have you seen these toxins pollute your life?

3 John 1:11  Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

11 Dear friend, don’t imitate the bad, but the good. Those who do what is good are from God; those who do what is bad are not from God.

via Proverbs 25:26-27; 3 John 1:11 CJB;NASB – Like a muddied spring or a polluted – Bible Gateway.

Do not imitate the bad.

Cultural toxins.

Think back to half time – 2013 Super Bowl. Who even in the ‘Christian’ community speaks the name of Beyoncé with admiration? (To tell you the truth – I had to look up her name to write this post and those 3 seconds of the half time I watched I didn’t even know who she was by sight. Not bragging, just stating facts. :)  )

Point is this. Christians, beware who you admire; beware who you imitate; beware who you dress like, talk like, live like.

Matthew 7:16 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

16 You will recognize them by their fruit. Can people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?

via Matthew 7:16 CJB;NASB – You will recognize them by their fruit. – Bible Gateway.

A Merry Monday to you all!

Day 20 – Soul Detox

Psalms 34:1-22

Devotional

In order to face the “what ifs” of fear, you must seek God until He takes away your fears.

How different could your life be if you put your full trust in God and strived to seek Him daily?

via Soul Detox | YouVersion.com.

That is a question well worth answering.
Full trust in GOD.
Would full trust in HIM bring you and me to the place of courage to overcome our fears? What does Psalm 34 say?

(4) I sought Adonai, and he answered me; he rescued me from everything I feared.

via Psalms 34:1-22 CJB;NASB – By David, when he pretended to be – Bible Gateway.

Day 18 – Soul Detox

Psalms 91:1-16

Devotional

What you fear reveals what you value the most. What you fear reveals where you trust God the least.

What things are you not trusting God with that you need to?

via Soul Detox | YouVersion.com.

What you fear reveals what you value the most.
That tells me something about me.

What you fear reveals where you trust GOD the least.
That tells me more about me.

What things are you not trusting GOD with that you need to?
I see that.

1. You who live in the shelter of ‘Elyon,

who spend your nights in the shadow of Shaddai,

2 who say to Adonai, “My refuge! My fortress!

My God, in whom I trust!” —

3 he will rescue you from the trap of the hunter

and from the plague of calamities;

4 he will cover you with his pinions,

and under his wings you will find refuge;

his truth is a shield and protection.

via Psalms 91:1-16 CJB;NASB – You who live in the shelter of – Bible Gateway.

Using His Creation ABBA explains in terms we can see and understand that HE is our refuge. HE is our protector. HE is worthy of our trust. His truth is a shield and protection for us. Because He IS Truth, all we have to do is believe Him and we will KNOW He is our shield and protector. Enjoy the short video below. Our GOD is for sure NOT a chicken but since He has built into the nature of a chicken such a protective instinct as to go up against something so much bigger than herself, would not her Creator, our ABBA, not shield and protect us? 

I found this video at Rural Ramblings. Enjoy! and let us learn!

A Face ’em Day to us all,
