RRDD What Gives The Lion Authority to Devour?

So how do we escape a ravenous beast? Be of sober spirit, be on alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8 The lion wants to destroy our testimony and set our lives on a course of destruction. This devotion outline 1 Peter 5:6-11 on how to escape.

RRDD Sound Mind

For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 The Holy Spirit gives us a boldness and a power. This inherent power reproduces itself but needs a constant indwelling, inflowing of the Holy Spirit to sustain. May you stir up the flame within you and receive the gifts of God in your life. 

RRD Bible Study -- Trust

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5 We must study to find the treasures in the Word of God. Today we will study many verses on the Word Trust. 

RRDD What’s In Your Dish?

We can't indulge anger or bitterness and reap love. We will reap what we sow.

Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Luke 6:38

RRDD Discouragement

Discouragement is the enemy's tool to keep us from enjoying life. Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called "Today", so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness. Hebrews 3:13. May you receive a joyful happy heart and your bones be fat. Proverbs 15:30 Keep growing my friends. 

RRDD Envy

A heart of peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones. Proverbs 14:30 This short devotion helps us identify envy and exchange it for peace. May you examine all confusion  and reject all strife. May you have a heart of peace to enjoy your days. 

RRDD What’s For Supper?

We need spiritual food to grow. Jeremiah 15:16 Your words were found, and I did eat them; and your word was unto me joy and rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, O Lord God of hosts. May you hunger and thirst for righteousness and shake yourself out of a spirit of slumber. Let the Word of the Lord be a lamp to your feet and a light unto your path. 

RRDD Unworthy

Sometimes our past haunts us and we feel unworthy of God's love. But Paul says, "Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13-14

RRD Principle 12

Principle #12 Detachment means I can enjoy my day. Detachment is not abandonment, but a healthy love for me and others. I can make decisions without fear or emotional manipulation. This includes gradual separation and launching of adult children to independent living. If I coddle other adults, it is more likely they will have a life of suffering and co-dependency. 

RRD Principle 11

Principle #11 Detachment means emotionally separating myself from the problem. This is simple, but not easy. Immaturity soaks up the emotions around me and mirrors them back. As I mature emotionally, I can feel my own emotions and let others feel their own. I can change the things I can and release the things I cannot change and purpose to enjoy my day.
