I am reading 1 Peter 1 today.
(NCV) 5 God’s power protects you through your faith until salvation is shown to you at the end of time.
This verse has got me thinking about our protection by God’s power through our faith. This is slightly different than Ephesians 2:8 (NCV) I mean that you have been saved by grace through believing. You did not save yourselves; it was a gift from God.
I would love any insights into the differences or simmilarities in these verses.
Also, I am going to try posting on Tuesday and Thursdays for a while.
Grace and Peace

Today I read Psalm 101 aloud.
The idea of living an innocent life is hard to grapple with in this material world. Let me try as God’s grace allows. Let me love not the world, but the church, Your bride.

I read Psalms 80-82 aloud.
The Lord gave me the grace to depend on his strength today and I praise Him.

I read Psalm 38 aloud and John 16.
Yesterday was a good day. I was given more grace in the areas of waiting for God and having patients with people.
Today I will continue to focus on only speaking words which build community in Christ. I also hope for the discipline to to hear the Holy Spirit’s voice through the noise and stuff of today.
Please pray for my wife and our family as she starts maintenance (1 every 3 months) shock treatments for depression. They were very effective last time, but had a large impact on the family. I am very scared.
Lord, what prayer would I pray for my brothers today; may they see glimpses of your kingdom everywhere they look today and know that you are near.
