Today’s Scripture Romans 4:8, NLT Yes, what joy for those whose record the LORD has cleared of sin. Today’s Word Don’t go through life beating yourself up, thinking about everything you’ve done wrong, dwelling on your mistakes and failures.

FUNKY LITTLE BALD CHARACTER POLL ROUND 3, GROUP 1
over the last 2 rounds, rom has managed to welcome FOUR fellow engineers into his union, as well as one self-employed(?) bug. but can this union provide for the performing arts? does it have better benefits than the hunter association, which provides its members with a License to Kill With Impunity?
the choice is yours! if rom and his team can successfully finish with a total of votes within 15% of melody's, in either direction, they'll have proven the power of the proletariat and UNIONIZED her, meaning she'll join their cause for the remainder of the poll!

“But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment. And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity. The LORD also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble; And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, For You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.” —Psalm 9:7-10
“Your faithfulness continues throughout all generations; You established the earth, and it stands.” —Psalm 119:90
“‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.’” —Jeremiah 29:11
“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” —Romans 8:28
“For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.” —Hebrews 4:15
“Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” —Isaiah 41:10
“God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.” —Psalm 46:1
“God Inspires Our Trust” By In Touch Ministries:
“Our Father in heaven always keeps His promises and never leaves us alone.”
“As far as children can tell, their mom and dad know everything and can do anything. And kids typically don’t question that assumption without reason (for example, if they see a parent mishandle a situation or someone else influences their level of trust). Parents demonstrate reliability by consistently providing shelter, food, and safety—and also by lovingly teaching, comforting, and guiding their sons and daughters. Then the children can sleep in peace, knowing their needs will be met.
Likewise, we know that we can trust our heavenly Father because He has shown Himself trustworthy from the beginning of time. Psalm 119:90 says, “[God’s] faithfulness continues throughout generations.” He has never broken a promise, and His plans for us have always been for our good (Jeremiah 29:11; Romans 8:28). What’s more, God understands our weaknesses and never asks us to do anything that He won’t help us accomplish (Hebrews 4:15; Isaiah 41:10). We can trust that even in the worst situations, He will be with us (Psalm 46:1).
What does trusting God look like in your life this week? Where can you relinquish control to Him?”

Pursue what matters most
In the book of Romans, Paul begs Christians to give their entire lives over to God because God sacrificed everything for them. Jesus gave up His life so that we could experience His unending love and grace. We cheapen His gifts if we refuse to align our lives with the way Jesus lived.
But we give our lives to God by making Him the one thing we pursue above anything else.
So here are 5 steps you can practice—right now—to help you put God first.
Give thanks
“We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks, for your name is near. We recount your wondrous deeds.”
Psalms 75:1 ESV
Right now, take a moment to thank God for what He’s already done for you. Reflect on His faithfulness, and recount the stories you have seen and heard of His wonderful power.
Spend 5 minutes in silence
“Abide in me, and I in you.”
John 15:4 ESV
Abiding in Jesus starts with stillness. So right now, pause, take a deep breath, and give anything concerning you over to God. Spend 5 minutes centering your heart on the One who matters most.
Remember Whose you are
“You are not your own, for you were bought with a price.”
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV
God loves you. The price He paid for you cost Him everything. So remind yourself of Whose you are, and reflect on some of the things God says about you.
Meditate on God’s Word
“Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day.”
Psalms 119:97 ESV
One of the best ways to find out how Jesus wants you to live is by spending time in Scripture. As you do, ask God to speak to you through His Word about what His will is.
Focus on what is excellent
“…If there is any excellence … think about these things.”
Philippians 4:8 ESV
You have been given the mind of Christ. If you’re not sure what you should think about, try asking yourself: What is praiseworthy? What thoughts and actions would honor God?
Make a list of whatever comes to mind, and pursue those things.
By practicing these steps every day, you can create habits that will help you pursue intimacy with God every day, and put Him first above everything else.

Living in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-26)
1 Therefore there is now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus. 2 For the Law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the Law of sin and death. 3 For of the Law being powerless in that it was weak through the flesh, God, having sent His Son in likeness of sin of flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh, 4 so that the righteousness of the Law should be fulfilled in us not walking according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. — Romans 8:1-4 | Berean Literal Bible (BLB) The Berean Literal Bible © 2016 by Bible Hub and Berean Bible.

Connecting the Dots
I have learned to connect the dots on so many levels. God helps me with that. Daily. If I don’t have enough time to work out, rather than stress about it, I chill. No sense making an ado about nothing. Connect the dots of “chilling” on this day. Maybe my body needs a rest day. Yikes! I have a husband now! That means my morning routine has changed. I don’t have enough time to write two blogs –…

I love that you’re so into succession because I don’t watch it but I’m absorbing the most gut wrenching, soul crushing bits of it via your blog and tumblr osmosis. saw a post that referred to Roman (I think that’s his name?) as “a dog chasing a boot” and I am unwell. It’s so good.
anon i love this. i love u. tbh sometimes i think absorbing media through tumblr osmosis is the best way to experience it. like i almost don’t want to ruin it for you. but my ape brain needs me to tell you to watch succession. if i don’t tell you to watch succession i’ll have an aneurysm and die.

Lessons from Cain Lesson 02: Two Conversations
Did you know the Bible records two conversations between Cain and God?  Today we are going to study these two conversations in-depth.
Let’s read together Genesis 4:6-7.
In our previous lesson we discussed why God rejected Cain's offering, but accepted Abel’s offering.  The offering was a symbol of salvation.  We cannot save ourselves through our own works.  We need a Savior.
Nevertheless, Cain was upset his offering was not accepted by God.  Cain had offered the best fruits and vegetables from his hard work and labor in the fields.
Let’s read together Proverbs 11:2 and 16:18.
God knew Cain’s pride was wounded by this rejection.  When God asked Cain why he was angry, God was warning Cain not to let his pride get the better of him.   God let Cain know if he offered the proper sacrifice, then it would be accepted.
Let’s read together Deuteronomy 30:19; Psalm 139:23-24; 1 Corinthians 10:13; and James 1:12-13.
God saw Cain was at a precipice.  Cain had a fateful decision to make.  He could either give into his pride and resentment, which would lead him down the path of sin, or  Cain could let go of his pride and resentment.  Cain could obtain a sheep from Abel (perhaps for some fruits and vegetables) and offer a proper sacrifice to God.
God foresaw the tragedy that would come if Cain persisted in his pride.  This conversation teaches us that we are only slaves to sin because we choose to commit sin.  We have the power of choice - to do good or evil, right or wrong.
Let’s read together Genesis 4:8.
Tragically, Cain was unable to let go of his pride.  He murdered his brother Abel, who had done nothing wrong.
Let’s read together Genesis 4:9; Psalm  32:5; Proverbs 28:13; and 1 John 1:9.
Why did God ask Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?”  God already knew the answer.  Just like with Adam and Eve, God was giving Cain a chance to confess his sins.  However, unlike his parents, Cain remained defiant and lied to God.  Cain basically asked God, “Why should I be concerned about Abel?”
Let’s read together Genesis 4:10-14; Exodus 21:12; and Revelation 6:9-11.
God confronted Cain with his sin.  Cain was a murderer.  Abel was innocent and had done nothing worthy of death.  Justice demanded Cain be put to death. 
However, God did not strike Cain dead.  God instead chose to curse Cain.  The ground would no longer yield good fruit and vegetables as it did before.  Cain would no longer be able to take pride in his ability to till the earth.  Cain would no longer be a farmer, but he would live the life of a nomad, wandering from place to place.  
In the hardness of Cain’s heart, he did not repent of his sin.  Rather, Cain complains about the severity of his punishment.
Let’s read together Genesis 4:15; Leviticus 19:18; Numbers 14:18; and Romans 12:19.
Why did God put a mark on Cain to preserve his life?  God was demonstrating his longsuffering mercy.   God hoped Cain would one day come to his senses as in the parable of the prodigal son.  God wanted Cain to confess his sins, repent, and return to Him. 
The mark of Cain was a precursor to the cities of refuge in the time of Moses.  God does not want us to take vengeance on our own.  He will judge in His own time.
Let’s read together Psalm 103:10-12; Romans 8:12-13; 1 John 1:9; Hebrews 7:25; and Revelation 3:12
God’s conversations with Cain teach us two important lessons.  First, we can have victory over sin!  Jesus Christ can give you victory if you are willing to rely on His strength and not your own.  Secondly, Jesus will forgive any and all sins if you sincerely confess your sins and ask Him for forgiveness.
Friend, will you take these two lessons to heart?

1. “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” —Romans 12:2 (ESV)
2. “Strip yourselves of your former nature [put off and discard your old unrenewed self] which characterized your previous manner of life and becomes corrupt through lusts and desires that spring from delusion; And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude], And put on the new nature (the regenerate self) created in God’s image, [Godlike] in true righteousness and holiness.” —Ephesians 4:22-24 (AMPC)
3. “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.” —Philippians 4:8-9 (NIV)
“The way you renew your mind is to wrap your thoughts around Scripture. You can take control of what you think about. You deliberately plant the good seeds/thoughts of God in your mind. As these thoughts take root and grow, they will help remove the destructive weeds that the enemy tries to plant in your mind.” —Louie Giglio
Amen! 🙏🕊️🙌
