Praying God’s Word Wednesday #27

October 6, 2021 by Lauren 18 Comments

According to nationaltoday.com, October 6 is National Transfer Money to Your Daughter Day.  Don’t tell my youngest.

I’m not sure if I’ll observe it.  What I will do is pray God’s Word.  Will you pray with me?

“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free.  But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.”  Galatians 5:13

 

Of this verse, A.T. Pierson says:  “True freedom is found only in obedience to proper restraint.  A river finds liberty to flow, only between banks:  without these it would only spread out into a slimy, stagnant pool.  Planets, uncontrolled by law, would only bring wreck to themselves and to the universe.  The same law which fences us in, fences others out; the restraints which regulate our liberty also insure and protect it.  It is not control, but the right kind of control, and a cheerful obedience which make the free man.”

 

I often refer to these boundaries as God’s umbrella of protection.  So I pray God’s Word for that protection for me and my loved ones here.

Replace the pronouns with the appropriate ones for the person (or yourself) that you are praying for.

 

Praying for you in this.  And don’t forget to share this on social media or with a friend who could benefit.  It would mean so much to me.  And if you don’t want to miss a Praying God’s Word Wednesday, subscribe over on the right hand side of this page.

About Me

I love Jesus, my husband and caffeine. The order of these can change depending on how tired I am. When my two daughters, stepson, and 4 grandchildren get to be too much, I practice yoga. God graciously allows me to share our adventures, victories and flub-ups from my laptop. May He be glorified here.
