Sunday!!
Isaiah 55:1-2 (ESV) “Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food.

Micah 4:5 (KJV)
For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.
This pearl, tucked away in Micah ---- I love it!

Hosea 14:1, 4-5 (ESV)
Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, for you have stumbled because of your iniquity....
I will heal their apostasy; I will love them freely, for my anger has turned from them. I will be like the dew to Israel; he shall blossom like the lily; he shall take root like the trees of Lebanon;

Psalm 32:5 - something like the 1 John 1:9 of the Old Testament I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah Before confessing, David was miserable (verses 1-4) But now, he is at peace! God Himself is his hiding place. Therefore let everyone who is godly offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found; surely in the rush of great waters, they shall not reach him. You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah (verses 6-7) He ends the joy of walking in fellowship with God..... 8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. 9 Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you. 10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord. 11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart! all quotes from ESV

Long, tiring day.... but a good day!
2 Corinthians 3:18 English Standard Version (ESV)
And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

Yes, if we behold the glory of the Lord, the desire of other things (lust and idols) will die. Praying for you.

Thanks, Dominic!
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. (1 John 1:7 ESV)
God desires to have fellowship with us!

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV
Prayer appreciated today.

A slip. A signal I need to continue my caffeine reduction.

If it's discouraging to you to see me posting lots of Bible verses, and then after a couple of weeks having a slip backwards.... it's discouraging to me as well! What if I had NOT focused on God's Word during those good days? So I carry on and do not give up. Today it is James 4:6-8, analyzed and broken down and applied. It gives me hope.

When you post the Bible verses that is good, but if the Bible verses have no effect then I think that is bad.

But the pattern is that they DO help me. I would be far worse without them.
With that in mind, here is today's -
2 Corinthians 5:8-9 New Living Translation (NLT) Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord. So whether we are here in this body or away from this body, our goal is to please him.
My great promises to do better usually evaporate. THIS DAY is what I need to live for the Lord. The starting date I posted will show my track record.

Psalm 68:6 New Living Translation (NLT) God places the lonely in families; he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy. But he makes the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.
