The Standard

Day 25 of 35 — Soul Detox

1 Corinthians 6:12-14

2 Corinthians 6:17-18

Devotional

It’s very easy to get trapped by cultural toxins because it’s easy to rationalize them in our head. Most of us have probably had the following thought: what may be dangerous for you may not be dangerous for me. God’s Word says something different. Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 6 that just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

What standards are you using to filter out cultural toxins in your life? How well do you think your standards match God’s?

The Standard.

We do not always meet it; but we should never be found not trying.

1 Thessalonians 5:21-23 King James Version (KJV)

21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

This morning. Only a verse for us to live today.

1 Thessalonians 5:15  New American Standard Bible (NASB)
15 See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people.

Praying (PFT)!

We have the Right to do right in this wrong World,

These Are Mine

to meditate on today (yesterday too) and perhaps tomorrow.  Which are yours?

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

16 Rejoice always;
17 pray without ceasing;
18 in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
via I Th 5:16-18 NASB – Rejoice always pray without ceasing in – Bible Gateway

For this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus – He is not talking about that sickness or lack or burden, any of that –His will is for me (for you) to rejoice and pray and give thanks even in sickness or lack or burden as I wait for Him to get me (and you) through to the other side of it. Our ABBA is not the author of evil; however, in His infinite wisdom and perfect love He does allow it for a season. Why? One day we will know. Until then we will trust Him. We will believe and receive His love and His wisdom. That is we do and will if we want to please Him and keep our sanity.

It is rainy in lower Alabama today but HIS face is shining upon us.

There are prayers to pray! Praying (PFT) is breathing for Christians. Breathe RED!
