Just
for Today I will put off all...
YOKES OF BONDAGE
"stand
fast therefore in the liberty
wherewith Christ hath set you
free,
and be not entangled again
with the yoke of bondage.
Galations 5:1
Today's
Prayer:
A Yoke is a device that joins two things together, usually at the head , as it is secured around the neck or upper body as a harness would be.
It is often defined as a mark, token, or symbol of slavery, subjection, or suffering.
As believers we would want to be yoked to Christ, head to head as we are to have His mind and follow His ways, for His yoke is easy and His burden is light.
It is a yoke of love, a submission to His will, not a yoke of bondage.
Therefore, we need to "put off" any yokes of bondage to things that are not of Christ.
Just for Today Lord, with Your help,
I commit to stand in
liberty
and will not be entangled again in the yoke of
bondage to negative things
for Your word says we are to renew
our mind daily
and to put off the old man and put on the new man,
therefore, each day I will seek to "put off" the old
and "put
on" the new in Christ!
The past 23 days we have been involved
in
"putting things off" in our lives.
Each day we have read
scripture that shows some negative thing that we should not
have
as a part of our life .
Use this day to review and think
upon those things
that may have been or still are present in
your life
and make a resolution today to "put off" those things
Tomorrow, as we start "Part Two--Just For Today",
we will
start "putting on" new good things !
We will attempt daily to
replace the negative things we have" put off"
by "putting on" new
good things.
It will be an exciting daily adventure !
I hope
you will join us each day
for this renewing
experience!
"JUST
FOR TODAY" DAILY DEVOTIONAL is a two-part program that focuses on
living one day at a time.
No matter what we are facing in our
lives the Bible says we are to live only for today.
We have no
guarantee of tomorrow, so we should not concern ourselves to worry
about it.
Therefore, the purpose of this Daily Devotional is to
give us strength for today so we can attempt to keep our focus on
God and off our daily circumstances.
Part One deals with things
in our life that we should
"put off" and goes for 24
days
Part Two shows us things we should"put on"
in our
life and is for 25 days.

Today's
Thought:
Matthew 11:29-30
Jesus
said:
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of Me;
for I am
meek and lowly in heart,
and ye shall find rest unto your
souls.
For my yoke is easy,
and my burden is
light."
John
8:34-36
Jesus
answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you,
whoever commits
sin is a slave of sin.
And a slave does not abide in the house
forever,
but a son abides forever.
Therefore if the Son makes
you free,
you shall be free indeed.
Isaiah
61:1
"The
Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me,
Because the LORD has anointed
Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal
the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And
the opening of the prison
to those who are bound; |
