God is wanting me to let a root grow deeply into my belief and understanding. This root is the root of believing that all of His scripture is not only living truth, but it is living truth for me just as it is for each one of us. As I’ve been going through this 90 day experience for the 2nd time I’ve found myself going much deeper into each day’s message for growth in trusting God. This has been true until yesterday and I found my prayer 90 days ago to be just what yesterday’s prayer needed to be. I was stuck with my fleshly pride needing to be seen for what it is–selfish.
A line in today’s devotional was to not use our “idle time for idol time”. That line hit home. To use idle time as worship time to refocus me on Christ’s goodness and The Holy Spirit’s presence is this new root of believing. I don’t know why it has taken so long for me to see this, but I’m especially grateful that today I do see it. This is the “way of escape” God has wanted me to see in His Word in I Corinthians 10:13 that I wrote about yesterday. I can confess a temptation to my trusted friend and turn this time into worship time! This is the way of escape warding off the enemy–Satan himself.
