Take this day to catch up on your reading, pray, and rest in the presence of the Lord.
Therefore, through him let us continually offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name.
—Hebrews 13:15

Peace and love sisters from the Northeast.
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer. Psalm19:4
Amen
Good Morning She’s!
I read through all of Hebrews 13, it is so good, full of bullet points to remember. I especially like the reminder to LOVE everyone, even those down and out. Who knows…one might be an angel! Can you imagine?! Have you ever talked to someone unknowing.. then.. they were someone that you immediately knew their name when they said it and had that quick thought “oh my gosh, hope I didn’t say the wrong thing…”
Hebrews 13: Let brotherly love continue. 2 Don’t neglect to show hospitality, for by doing this some have welcomed angels as guests without knowing it.f 3 Remember those in prison, as though you were in prison with them, and the mistreated,B as though you yourselves were suffering bodily.
Let us remember as we speak today, and through the wkd (even to our spouses/kids!) to guard our lips, letting only the fruits leave our mouth. And when we fail, to apologize, repent, and try to do better. The victory comes with the work of the Spirit. We cannot do it on our own, we can try and try and we will be discouraged. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you- give me patience…give me your power, and let the infilling each day give you the strength and discipline to use your tongue wisely.
Father I pray that my son Jonah will know that you are with him every moment as he swims his state Champs this weekend. Reward his faith, forgive his doubt. In Jesus name, Amen
We cannot even praise God well without Jesus. It is only “through Him” that our lips produce a sacrifice that is acceptable.
Enjoy this day the Lord has made!
Verse of the day on Bible Gateway is Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” NKJV
Which synced for me with today’s verse, Hebrews 13:15 Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. NKJV
“the fruit of our lips” … that stopped me in my tracks. Will there be fruit today? Will others see & hear love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in my actions and words? (Galatians 5:22 CSB).
Thanking Him this morning (& throughout the day) for so many things, especially that the Lord my God is with me wherever I go.
Praying for my SRT sisters! ❤️
I will ,
