Adamant With Lisa Brevere - Day 1-3


April 4, 2018

 Adamas: a mythical stone that was thought to be magnetic, luminous, indestructible, powerful. (Sound familiar? *cough* Captain America’s shield.)

 DAY 1
“But truth is not a river. It is a rock.” 

 Jesus is the cornerstone; steadfast and our foundation.

 Q: What are the areas where truth has become fluid in your world?
A: Truth is that I am forgiven. Truth is that I should carry no shame, because Jesus already bared it all on the cross. I don’t accept this truth every day. I don’t forgive myself or receive forgiveness every day. I don’t leave my shame at the feet of Jesus every day. I’ve made these truths fluid because of guilt and fear of judgement by the people around me.
“This is part of our calling as Christians - to stand firm in truth, not just for our own sake, but also for the sake of those who are looking for something on which they can build their lives.”

 DAY 2
“We lose sight of our identity when we attach it to the wrong things.”

 “But we have to be willing to let God separate the light from the dark in our lives. God will not allow the lies that have been spoken over you to remain. He will not allow the things you’ve spoken over yourself to be the final say. Instead, He will draw near to you so He can intimately reveal something new in you, something that brings complete healing to every area of pain, setting you free to live in the truth of who He says you are.“

 DAY 3
“The true evidence of someone who knows they are loved is that they love well.”

 For my whole life I have often questioned whether I was loved by those who said they loved me. Sometimes my suspicions were correct, other times I was dead wrong. I made some of the worst decisions during those times of not feeling loved or worthy of love. I also didn’t learn to be consistent in my own giving of love. Apparently it’s harder to learn once your already an adult, but I’m on my journey of learning. God has redeemed what love is in my life through my husband and kids, and even my friends that are my family too.

 Exodus 15:13 NLT
With your unfailing love you lead the people you have redeemed.
In your might, you guide them to your sacred home.

 Feeling that peace - that safe, cozy feeling - that comes from walking closely (or clinging) to God truly is a sacred place. It’s priceless.

Dare To Be - Day 4

Dare to be PATIENT I've been reading and re-reading this one over and over. I can see now that I have been holding myself back from growing in the area of patience, because I don't believe I can be a truly patient person. I have my moments of victory, as I wait in a ridiculous line like it's nothing, or tell my kids to do something for the x-teenth time while keeping some sugar in my voice. The ladder is rare, but it happens. This devo isn't simply about keeping your thoughts and tongue captive while in traffic, but being patient in God's timing for all things. Not just as you wait on your food order, or your big break, but as you wait on Him. On His will. On His yes...or His no. 1. Where do you need to be more patient? I mostly need to be more patient in my parenting. I expect a lot from my kids, because I know they're smart. If I was more patient I would take advantage of teachable moments, rather than creating a moment to apologize for later. Also, ...

SOAP: Ruth 1 & 2

S: Ruth 1 & 2 O: God allowed a girl from an infamously bad town to be redeemed from her lineage and what people would have probably expected her to be. A: I am not destined to be like my family just because I was raised by and around them. God has shown me the truth and I am responding: I choose Him. P: Lord, every day I need to choose you - every moment. I was raised in chaos, and for a while I chose chaos, but I know better now and I want to do better and mo’ bettah. Help me Jesus to love like you. Thank you for redeeming me and for sending my hubby as my earthly redeemer, my Boaz. I pray for that same truth and redemption in the lives of my parents and siblings and other family Lord. Only you can show us what love is really about, so we can also love well. In Jesus name, Amen.
