Grace for your spirit
I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see thegoodness of the LORD In the land of the living. Psalm 27:13
David spent a lot of time on the run from King Saul. He had been anointed to be the future king of Israel, but it seemed like a long time coming. The light at the end of his tunnel were the promises from God. He trusted that the day would come, and it sustained him in his troubled time. Every day is not going to be a wonderful happy day for most of us. The promises that God has given us for His blessing should lift us up and keep us from despair. Let's all believe that we will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. It will make today brighter too.

Grace for your spirit
Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality,idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these Galatians 5:19-21
The fact that these are deeds of the sinful nature is evident. They are always obvious when we see them in the lives of others. How come they are so hard to detect by us when we have them? Can we determine when we quit walking after the Spirit and start walking after the flesh?. Others can see it, but the devil doesn't want us to see it. We need to listen when we are warned of our drift into this style of life, and get back on the road led by His Spirit.

Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds. Revelation 2:22
One of the churches in Revelation was tolerating immorality. They were allowing the teaching of immorality to poison their spiritual lives. God had called for repentance, but they refused. Jesus said their bed of immorality would become their sick bed. Sick bed for the prophetess, and a sick bed for those who tolerated and participated in the false teaching. Sin bed to sick bed. Be sure our sins will find us out. Unless we repent, our sins will be exposed and our punishment will be sure. Let's listen to Jesus and repent.

Grace for your spirit
Therefore, I will always be ready to remind you of these things, even though you already know them, and have been established in the truth which is present with you. II Peter 1:12
When we hear something that is important to us, and something we really need to know, we can't hear it too much. God often repeats things to us that are very important. It is a danger sign when we complain that the teaching is too repetitious. Too often that means we don't want to hear what God has for us. In the time of great persecution, Peter not only wanted to remind us of the important things, but also stir us up every chance he had. May we let God's word continually stir us up. We haven't overcome yet, and we need all the help we can get.

Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord. Romans 12:1
Revenge does not belong to us. When we take it, we are stealing from God. When we conspire to take it, we are robing devotion from God. It is not unusual to hear people in the world talking and taking revenge to get even. That we can expect, but it is a horrible experience to hear it from a Christian. May we make not provision for revenge in our minds. When we love as God loves, and walk after His Spirit, we will leave the wrath to the one who knows the hearts of men. That is God and not us.
