We want you to CONNECT with God through His Word, Prayer, & Worship.

Today, call out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to "open your eyes" as you read through the scripture.

As you observe the scripture, we encourage you to take notes.

Notice the emotions, reasons, and context. Make sure to note what God wants you to know or do after reading the scripture.

"Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers." - Psalm 1:1 (English Standard Version (ESV))

Nobody wakes up one morning and decides to walk away from God. Drift does not work that way. It happens slowly, quietly, through small compromises that seem harmless at first. Psalm 1 describes this drift in three stages. First, you walk alongside the wrong influences. Then you grow comfortable and start standing still. Finally, you sit down and begin defending the very things that are stealing your joy. Each step feels small. That is what makes it so dangerous. Lot is a sobering example. He was a righteous man, someone who had peace with God. But he walked toward Sodom, then lived in Sodom, and eventually sat at its gate. He lost his influence because he had lost his distinction. He stopped grieving over the things that God grieved over. Here is the encouraging truth. Recognizing the drift is the first step back. God has not moved. He is not waiting to condemn you. He is waiting to restore you. If you sense that you have drifted, even slightly, today is a good day to turn around.

Explore & examine the areas of your life that God needs to come under the truth. Take a moment to commit & surrender these areas in prayer.

After, tell and share with others what God is teaching you! Try this:

*Share your encouraging takeaways with others on your social media, or share your story with us. We want to celebrate with you!

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

- Hebrews 13:8
