(Matthew 14:13-21; 22-33; 34-36; 13:53-58; Psalm 103:1-7; Deuteronomy 8:2; 4:9; Philippians 3:13-14)

Paul challenges us to remember and not forget God's character, his deeds, and his ways, so that we encounter him both through the testimony of others and also through the direct experiences we, as his valuable sons and daughters, have with him.

(Proverbs 28:13; Genesis 3:1-10; Psalm 32:5; 1 Peter 4:8; Proverbs 10:12; Proverbs 17:9; Psalm 85:2; Romans 8:19) If we transparently uncover our own wrongdoings, without hiding or concealing, and also take pains to cover the failings of others, we will manifest--as sons and daughters--what creation is longing to see revealed.

• (Galatians 5:13-25) As Christians, we can resist the pull of our old self-centered nature by daily choosing to please the Holy Spirit and receiving his power to walk in his ways.

by Heidi Hughes

• (2 Thessalonians 1:3-12, Philippians 2:12-14) What are we afraid of losing when we surrender to God's leading? In those moments, we need to remember that his desire is to fulfill his good pleasure through us.
