I was flipping through some old notes from a conference I attended a few years ago. The speaker was Priscilla Shirer. She is definitely a woman I can relate to and learn from. I remember these words jumping out at me as being quite profound (which is why I wrote them down!). Maybe these are the words YOU need to read today!
"Turn over the boat and something will hop or slither out from under it. The overturned, damp, shady boat invites the critters. Unrighteous ( NOT living under God's rule; sinful) living is the invitation to satan's demons to come and join you. (Under the damp, dark, overturned boat) Righteousness is to align your life with the scripture you say you affirm. ( You can't align yourself with scripture if you don't read it, study it and learn to apply it to your life.) Righteousness invites Gods favor. Righteousness guards your heart. Live in a way that honors God!"
This is the ONLY way to find true contentment and peace in your life.
