Let's lift up Genesis
, seeking God's protection from those conspiring against their destiny. "No weapon forged against you will prevail" (Isa 54:17). Trusting God's shield around them. In Jesus' name! 
Let's lift up But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
—Romans 6:17 (KJV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Paul stresses in Romans 6 that obedience to the will of God does not mean we are being manipulated or put under a bunch of arbitrary rules or formal laws. No, obedience of our grace-filled God is liberation — liberation from the bondage of sin and the certainty of death, liberation from the haunting memories of sin and its effects, as well as liberation to be the people we were created to be!
My Prayer...
Heavenly Father, my head understands that being obedient to your will is a blessing and not a restriction. I know you have given me your truth to protect and save me. Forgive me for sometimes doubting and looking elsewhere for the joy and delight that only you provide. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
