Let's keep Malooloriorview in our prayers as she seeks another job. Trust that "Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart" (Ps 37:4). God is faithful and with us always! 
Let's join in prayer! 
**Let's lift up these requests, everyone!** For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
—Romans 8:3-4 (KJV)
When the Spirit lives in us, we don't need a law to guide us. The Spirit produces the character that God desires, which is well beyond what any law would require (cf. Gal. 5:22-23). While the Law can teach us God's will and reveal to us what is sinful, the Law can't fix our sinfulness nor empower us to live according to God's will. On the other hand, the Holy Spirit can cleanse, transform, empower, and inspire us to be what God calls us to be in ways no law can (Romans 8:1-4; 2 Corinthians 3:17-18). Let's thank God for his loving and empowering presence in us through his Spirit!
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew me by your Spirit dwelling within me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
