Morning Bible Chapter: Psalm 73
What I learned: Here it says god is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. I want to take a step to help other people recognize what this means as I have seen it as a misconception before too. A lot of people may believe that The Israelites to this day are favoured by god but gos had a specific plan to set them apart before the saviour of Christ and it is important to remember that we are all sinners but we are saved by the grace of god through Christ and all his children are equal in the eyes of the lord
Mid-Day Check-In: it is early in the day but I wanted to use it as a reflection because I will be occupied with flying out later in the day. I had a couple drinks last night and even though nothing crazy happened I felt myself straying away from god which I haven’t felt through any of my periods of sobriety. When praying on it I was guided to understand that it was a test to recognize my capacity when drinking and a good sign of how I should carry myself to recognize I should be close to god when on my trip.
Daily Prayer: Heavenly Father today I leave on my trip to Portugal and I pray for you to help me stay close to you this whole time, keep me away from drinking too much, keep me in my habits and stop me from falling behind
