Morning, July 23rd

Read: Ezekiel 26:23

Even though we are not good enough for God to use, He can and will use us anyway. Scripture shows us many times when God used people who did not meet His moral and holy standards. For example, think about Samson or most of the other judges. God will be seen for who He really is: holy, powerful, and awesome. So let's not give Him things He doesn't want. Instead, let's give ourselves to Him to serve Him and bring Him honor.

Prayer
Holy Father, make me pure and holy in everything I do, say, and think, not just by Your grace, but by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Give me a clean heart and a new spirit of righteousness. May my whole life be an offering of praise to You, God. In Jesus' precious name I pray. Amen.
