Note to self for the day

Galatians 2:20

20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.


Luke 9:23

23 And he said to all, “If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.

Ephesians 6:16


16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;

 

"Faith becomes a shield around the heart and mind, that if properly strengthened and maintained, can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one." David Hegg

1. My life is not my own. How quickly I forget.
2. I'm taking up my cross, but FIRST, deny self.
3. Don't forget my shield.  The evil one is looking to bring me down. He will not!
4. Keep looking through the lens of faith, not the lens of my own ways.

Lord, may I diligently seek You today! The day is here. I hear little footsteps headed down the steps! May I be an empty vessel for You to fill this day.
