Devotional for July 10

Walk in His ways and be blessed

1 Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.
2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
5 The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel. Psalm 128 (KJV)

The Morning Exhortation

It has been said that training is everything and everything is training. Training narrows the gap between the pro and the average Joe. Train the way you will fight, because you will fight the way you have trained. Training for the conditioning of the soul requires three things: denying self, picking up your cross, and following Jesus Christ. (Proverbs 22:6, 15, 3:11-12; Psalm 119:9-11; Proverbs 9:1-12; Deuteronomy 28:1-13; Psalm 32:8-10; Hebrews 3:7-4:2; 1 Timothy 6:12; Psalm 144:1; Psalm 19:14; James 1:21-25; Psalm 19:15; Galatians 5:16-17; 2 Corinthians 5: 14-15; Galatians 2:20; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 2 Corinthians 10:4-6; 2 Timothy 2:15-26; 1 Peter 4:7-11)
