​“Opening his mouth, Peter said: “I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality, but in every nation the one who fears Him and does what is right is acceptable to Him.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭10:34-35‬ ‭NASB2020

‬‬A challenge today! Are we fearing God and doing what is right in His sight? 

All too often I find myself wanting to do the opposite. 

God’s commands are not difficult but are hard. For we wage war against the sin-laden flesh while trying to do what our spirit calls us to do. So it is up to our soul to submit to God’s will and walk in direct opposition to our flesh and follow our spirit.

“The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it?”

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:9‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

“For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. For who among people knows the thoughts of a person except the spirit of the person that is in him? So also the thoughts of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God. Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God.”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2:10-12‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

“Be gracious to me, Lord, For I call upon You all day long. Make the soul of Your servant joyful, For to You, Lord, I lift up my soul. For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in mercy to all who call upon You.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭86:3-5‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

Don't give up today but fight the good fight of faith not against others of deceitful hearts but rather against the one who tries to take out all who belong to God!
