Instructions

The people who love your Instruction enjoy peace—and lots of it. There’s no stumbling for them! ~ Psalm 119:165 (CEB)

Let the Word of Christ—the Message—have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives. Instruct and direct one another using good common sense. ~ Colossians 3:16 (MSG)

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Give Christ and his instructions free run of your life.

PRAYER
Gracious God, thank you for the direction you have provided for my life. I confess that I don't always apply what you're teaching me. I want more control of things -- even if that doesn't make sense. That's my weakness. So I am inviting you to run free in my life -- as much as I can do at this point. And I'm counting on you to continue to expand your influence as I grow more dependent on you. I'm going to allow your instruction -- your wisdom -- to grow in my life. Peace! Amen!
