In their blind conceit,

they cannot see how wicked they really are.

psalm 36:2

this verse is so true. It's so simple yet true. It applies in so many ways. When you are living in sin your vision becomes cloudy. Your ability to decipher between right and wrong is also hindered. It's hard to live in a cloud of conceit (an excessively favorable opinion of ones own ability or importance). It's like living blind. God is our light and without him we live in darkness. If your body is dark, oh how great is that darkness (Matthew 6:22). In your light, we see light (Psalm 36:8-9). Think about how hard it is to move around in your house in the dark. Super hard right. But when we live in the darkness, it becomes normal. Day after day we learn how to maneuver in the darkness. We learn where things are and in a way our eyes adjust and their vision becomes clearer to the darkness. I believe this equates to sin. When you sin. It works to take over your life. It does whatever it can to dominate all aspects of your life. After a while living in sin (and darkness) is not only a habit, but it's normal. I pray that I wont be desensitized to the sin in my life. I pray that my passions don't become my master. I pray that I will only have one master in my life. And that master is Jesus Christ.

Choose to take the high road today. "Your ways are not my ways and your thoughts are not my thoughts" says the Lord in Isaiah 55:8-9 I wanna walk the high road of heaven. The road that is higher than any other road imaginable. I want to choose to set myself apart. I want to be not of this world. I want to reach for the stars and land among your heavenly grace.

Please Lord grant me the peace I've been searching for today. Grant me the knowledge to know that your ways are above mine. And that the path of darkness is not my desire. I don't want darkness to rule over me in any area of my life. And lastly Lord grant me the understanding that a relationship with you is all you long for. I pray that I will be dependent on you today Lord. That I wont hoard the knowledge you have been so graciously abounding me with but share it with all of those in my life, by way of my words and my actions.

prayers of my life:

"Father God, thank You for Your grace and mercy in my life. Thank You for believing in me, for giving me a hope and a future. Today I choose to stretch; I choose increase; I choose to rise up higher so that I can be all You’ve created me to be. In Jesus' Name. Amen."

Dear Lord, I want to please you with my words of my mouth and meditations of my heart. I want to spark a revolution for our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. I pray that you let my whole life be a blazing offering, a life that shouts and sings the greatness of the king. Bend me and mold me use me for your glory. In Jesus' name. Amen

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

2 corinthians 4:7-12

The gospel so much exceeds the law in glory, that it eclipses the glory of the legal dispensation. But even the New Testament will be a killing letter, if shown as a mere system or form, and without dependence on God the Holy Spirit, to give it a quickening power. (2Co 3:12-18)

Dear Lord, I need Your loving touch today. Let Your love song wash over me and fill my heart. I release my feelings of doubt to You and rest in Your undying love. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
