He sends orders from heaven and saves me,
he humiliates those who kick me around.
God delivers generous love,
he makes good on his word.
GALATIANS 5:22-23 (NLT)
The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
THE ESSENCE
God delivers.
DAILY FODDER
God delivers, but we have to be receiving.
PRAYER
Gracious Lord, your Spirit infuses me with actions and attitudes that allow me to manifest your will and desires. When I react to life's many challenges without consulting you, then I produce rotting fruit and often struggle and am overwhelmed. But when you work in me, I can truly become an instrument of your love. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
