I know that God will keep me in perfect peace if I keep my mind on Him. I also live with the blessed assurance that this peace and joy will continue through eternity when my soul is forever with the lord. Amen.

The Checklist
David’s checklist provides examples of how the righteousness of the heart will correspond with righteous actions. The disciples were known as Christians by their love (John 13:35). It is not of works that any man should boast (Ephesians 2:9) because we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). I thank God that instead of condemnation, he invites us to come boldly to his throne to obtain mercy (Hebrews 4:16). All my righteousness is as filthy rags. But the blood of Jesus alone has washed me whiter than snow (Hebrews 9:14/Psalm 51:7).

Give Me A Clean Heart
Jesus said, “As it was in the days of Noah, so it shall be in the latter days.” David focused on the hearts of men and God does as well. I pray that God will cleanse my heart.

Fashion Identity Crisis: Stylist, April Branch, offers Fashion “Therapy” By Debra Hill and April Branch
It’s International Being You Day, and one of the ways I have often shown my authentic self is through my wardrobe. I have always thought about what impression I am giving someone when they first meet me, by the way I dress. I have found over the years that my fashion identity has become a bit unclear as I have followed fashion trends and bargain sales. You could say that I found myself having a “fashion identity crisis!”

Backstabbers
The betrayal of a friend or someone you love cuts deep into your trusting heart like a knife. Deceit, falsehood and lies—once revealed—show the true, malicious character of the person you thought was honest, caring and faithful.

A Firm Foundation
There have been times in my life when my faith has wavered. I want to stand firm on my trust in God, but sometimes when I have been tested by struggles and troubles of this world, I have found myself anxious, afraid and feeling hopeless. My faith is restored when, like David, I remind myself that I will put my trust in the Lord. I know that His word sets a firm foundation for me to land on solid, safe and steady ground. I search the scriptures for His precious promises of love, healing and deliverance.
