Steeping in God’s Word
In my last devotion, I told you about Tess’ foray into my tea collection. Well, I’m happy to announce that I’ve ordered some teas to replace those destroyed in one fashion or another. Not only that, the Lord opened my eyes to a tea-based thought in His Word. Don’t you love it when God takes something we view as a mistake and brings about something good?
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. - John 8:31-32
For a Season
Do you ever grow weary of fighting the same battles? Facing the same temptations? Slaying the same giants? I don’t know about you, but some days I wonder what I’m doing wrong. I’ve heard testimonies of people who have recovered from addictions or were brought out of some deep sin and now testify that since being saved, they’ve never even wanted to return to their old ways. They’ve never been tempted to take another drink, inhale another drug, or participate in another affair.
