Psalm 119:133 Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me. (NIV)

—

Everybody struggles with something. Seek God in the struggle to exchange a moment’s pleasure for a lifetime of satisfaction.

There was a day when a first ten-mile run came to an end.

There was a moment when an intensive professional examination was completed after hours in front of a computer terminal.

There was a walk across a stage in academic regalia bearing testimony to books read, papers written, and discussions of extraordinary depth.

There is a shining moment ahead for all who punch sin in the face and choose God’s path, God’s provision, and God’s better gifts.

Here is a prayer for today: “Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me.”

—

I will seek God’s rule and reign in my moments of struggle.

—

Our Father, thank you for providing better for me than anything sin promises. Your gifts bring the deepest and most lasting satisfaction. Sin brings shame and regret. Empower me at every moment to walk away from sin’s enticements in exchange for joy enduring. Amen.

Daily D – 1 Kings 19:3-9

1 Kings 19:3-9 Then Elijah became afraid and immediately ran for his life. When he came to Beer-sheba that belonged to Judah, he left his servant there, but he went on a day’s journey into the wilderness. He sat down under a broom tree and prayed that he might die. He said, “I have had enough! Lord, take my life, for I’m no better than my ancestors.” Then he lay down and slept under the broom tree.

Suddenly, an angel touched him. The angel told him, “Get up and eat.” Then he looked, and there at his head was a loaf of bread baked over hot stones, and a jug of water. So he ate and drank and lay down again. Then the angel of the Lord returned for a second time and touched him. He said, “Get up and eat, or the journey will be too much for you.” So he got up, ate, and drank. Then on the strength from that food, he walked forty days and forty nights to Horeb, the mountain of God. He entered a cave there and spent the night. Suddenly, the word of the Lord came to him, and he said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

He alone out of Jeroboam’s house will be given a proper burial because out of the house of Jeroboam something favorable to the Lord God of Israel was found in him.“
