“We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete” (2 Corinthians 10:5-6).

The call of being a disciple is an all or nothing proposition.  Jesus has come to save the whole of you.  In this age of the partial, we often think in terms of a little bit and no more.  The Lord will remake us into children of the Heavenly Father.  Come then and walk fully in His countenance and see that in Him is all life and liberty.  Bring your obedience into His hands and be guided by Him.

Lord, You have granted grace upon grace that I may now and forever walk according to Your goodness.  Lead me ever deeper into this truth You have revealed that I may learn and grow according to Your goodness.  Guide me, Lord, in the way of truth You have set before me that I may now and always look to You as the source of my salvation and being.  Let Your knowledge become mine.

Lord Jesus, You have come that we may live in truth and joy with You.  Lead me this day through all pretense that I would not lean on my understanding, but be guided by You, the source of all being.  Guide me in the upward path of salvation that I would wrestle with every evil that dwells within me, knowing that only in You is there hope, life, and a future.  Be with me always Lord!  Amen.
