“And you [He made alive when you] were [spiritually] dead and separated from Him because of your transgressions and sins, in which you once walked. You were following the ways of this world [influenced by this present age], in accordance with the prince of the power of the air (Satan), the spirit who is now at work in the disobedient [the unbelieving, who fight against the purposes of God].” Ephesians 2:1-2 AMP

REFLECTION
Only our Maker can save us from spiritual death. So, let’s intentionally stay close to Him and not turn to false refuges. And if we find ourselves stuck in a false refuge, even then, we can cry out to our Redeemer and trust that He will lead us out. It may not be quick, easy, comfortable or pain free, but it will be worth it.
PRAYER POEM: Revive Me
Almighty God ~ revive me to reach out to You for encouragement when I’m drowning in discouragement, for only You can provide the sacred nourishment my soul needs that strengthens me for good deeds.
