“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”
1 Peter 5:6-8

Exodus 20:4-3-2-5
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

Romans 15:13-14-15-16
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,
That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

Dear God, thank You for this day and for the reminder that the same God who anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power is the same God who is with me right now. Your word in Acts 10:38 says, “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.” God, I’ve felt that quiet nudge in my heart, but I’ve been waiting for everything to be perfect before I move. Help me stop waiting and start walking in simple obedience today because the opportunities I’ve been praying for can’t find me if I’m standing still. Give me the strength to step out in faith even with all the questions I don’t have answers to. You are with me, and that’s enough. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

For the Lord God will help me; therefore I will not be disgraced; therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I will not be ashamed. -Isaiah 50:7
