Monday morning's devotional comes from Romans 15:1-7.

I think Psalm 141 can help us understand how to pray that line from the Lord's prayer: "Lead me not into temptation, but deliver me from evil". We can add this kind of prayer to our regular daily prayers.

Psalm 5 reminds us of how not to approach God and conversely, how to pray. This is a morning song; it's the thoughts and words of a person coming before God with heartfelt concern every morning.

Monday morning's devotional comes from Romans 14.

If the Creator has intentionally placed humanity on earth what is his purpose for that and what is our significance? David in Psalm 8 has considered this question and seen not only the greatness of the Creator but the blessings the Creator endowed to mankind. He asks why, Almighty God, do you care about us?

Thursday morning's devotional comes from Romans 13:8-14.

Psalm 139 is David's response to what he knows about God; that God is omnipresent and omniscient. When you personalize this revelation about God's attributes it changes how you think about yourself and your life path.
