Stay true
So it’s paramount that you keep the commandments of God, your God, walk down the roads he shows you and reverently respect him. ~ Deuteronomy 8:6 (MSG)
But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you. ~ 2 Timothy 3:14 (NLT)
KEY THOUGHT:
Stay true to the good news message that the apostles and prophets originally delivered.
PRAYER:
Thank you, God, for your message. I confess that I am not conistent in the way that I apply your directions. My attention is short and sporadic. But for some reason you remain true to your word and you continue to love me. Help me to more consistently embrace your message so that my life brings honor to you. Amen.
