One of the very first things we do in the morning is dress ourselves for the day. Maybe you are going to work, and you are required to wear certain clothing. If one works on a construction site, there is certain safety gear that must be worn. Whatever the day or occasion we dress appropriately. Today we will meditate upon how our Lord has required us to clothe ourselves as His very own chosen. I believe the Lord desires that we are thinking about “clothing” ourselves in the many good things He desires. As you awaken in the morning ask Him to clothe you with the good things so you can be an instrument of Him.
Colossians 3:12 (CJB)
“Therefore, as God’s chosen people,
holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves
with feelings of compassion and with kindness,
humility, gentleness and patience.”
As we make a conscious effort to clothe ourselves in the fruits of who He is we will truly be blessed, and we will be a witness to those that do not know Him. Being kind, loving, gentle, and patient will always be easy when we are around those that are not challenging us. Face it, it is so easy to be nice to those that are treating us right, but difficult people can cause us to really get off track with our love walk. God’s way is always the higher way and as we react out of His love and purpose to remain clothed in His Spirit we will be blessed. Today let us be mindful that we are fully clothed in the goodness of our Lord!
Proverbs 11:17 (TLB)
“Your own soul is nourished when you are kind;
it is destroyed when you are cruel.”

![are you guarding your heart](https://www.abundantlifectr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/are-you-guarding-your-heart-300x225.jpg)
Proverbs 4:23 (AMP)
“Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and
above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.”
“Don’t worry about anything, but pray and ask
When we purpose to think on good things we are being proactive in guarding our hearts, and keeping them in the peace of God. I know for myself that when my heart is full and I mean FULL of God’s peace, faith, and pure things I can face the problems of this life in His strength. Today I encourage you to watch over your heart and your thoughts. Make sure you are not walking about your day with a heart that is unguarded, for God desires to keep it with His loving peace.♥

those who journey through life by the light of Your face.”
Yesterday we meditated upon our Lord’s righteousness going before us. As we let Him order our steps our ways will be established in all that we do. Today we are going to meditate upon the light of our Lord. Life on this earth is a journey, and by His light we make this journey as we live to follow Him. Some days the journey is smooth and some days the journey is just full unexpected things that try to hinder or distract us in our walk with Him. The important thing about the journey is knowing that He has promised to be right there beside us, and He would never leave us. Today let us think upon His righteousness goes before us, and the light of His wonderful face will enlighten our hearts!
the less anything can get
between you and Him.”
May we meditate today on how we need to stay close beside Him at all times. May we recognize immediately anything that would come to distract us, and take our eyes off of Him. Allow the light of His countenance to illuminate your journey, and walk in expectancy of all the good things He desires to do for you today!!!

How can men be wise? The only way to begin is by reverence for God. For growth in wisdom comes from obeying his laws. Praise his name forever.
This is a good way of teaching the kids to forgive each other(Matt. 5:7). I like the power of this gentle scripture and lesson… Thanks!!
thank you Lisa for sharing. I am blessed that this was a blessing to you!
Ralph &I are really enjoying your devotional together.
So glad this is blessing you both!
Oh, what a wonderful reminder! I want to break the magnifing glass of worry and trust God for each step I take.
It is interesting Selena how the more we worry the bigger and more magnified things get in our minds. Oh how important it is to trust our God for the smallest of things! Thank you for sharing!
