John 17

John 17 journal

Proverbs of the day Proverbs 14:30 A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones. This verse challenged me to check for jealousy. Am I jealous of someone in my family or work? How can I let go of that and experience the peace that comes from walking with God?

John 17

Jesus prays that his disciples won’t be taken out of the world, but that they would be protected from the enemy. I also read today about Felix and Paul. Paul would not compromise his integrity and give Felix a bribe. Felix unfairly left Paul in prison. Has life been unfair to you recently? It amazes me how God uses unfair situations to strengthen my character (ouch) and through a stronger character, I can be responsible with the blessing that he has given me. Jesus also prayed that I would come to know the righteous God. I pray that all the distractions will leave me and I will be able to see, hear, and know more of God today
