You may not have noticed, our Promise for Today is a complete sentence. There are no qualifying phrases such as, "unless they are provoked"; or "if they're not tired"; or "if they want to or feel like it".

Are we living our lives as Jesus did? Direct, immediate obedience to God? No murmuring, no complaining, no arguing with God about circumstances or anything? If not, we must repent.

Repentance is sincere regret or remorse. It's a turning away from. It's hating ANYTHING that separates us from God. 2nd Corinthians 7:10 NLT tells us, For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death. True repentance frees us from sin, enabling us to live as Jesus did. Complete.

Prayer:

Father,

           Turn our hearts toward Your way and Your will, Father. Help us to live as Jesus did. Holy and acceptable unto You. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
