Word for the Day

Last night in bible study, i didn't do my homework.

Truth be told, i haven't done my "Godwork" for a few WEEKS, except very sporadically, which is surely why i have been so stressed out lately.

I find it hard to give up my pride when i am in this state, and go to God for forgiveness and a fresh start.

so, i went to bible study unprepared and needy. undone. carey had asked us each to bring a scripture, and although i read my chapters, i did not bring one, because i had not read the Word.

this morning, feeling better after realizing it was a NEW day, and that the world is still turning, God is still in charge, and i am still His child, i did go read the Word.

so, here's my scripture, from Ephesians 4. better late than never, right?

But that's no life for you. You learned Christ! My assumption is that you have paid careful attention to him, been well instructed in the truth precisely as we have it in Jesus. Since, then, we do not have the excuse of ignorance, everything—and I do mean everything—connected with that old way of life has to go. It's rotten through and through. Get rid of it! And then take on an entirely new way of life—a God-fashioned life, a life renewed from the inside and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reproduces his character in you.
