I’m going thru Daily Light Journal devotional again, by Anne Graham Lotz, and today’s devotion spoke directly to the topic of my intended goal to finish writing the book this year; so I wanted to share it here. As is true of all Scripture, the Holy Spirit speaks to the heart and applies it to our daily living and our need for personal application as we read the passages. I hope and pray that He will speak to your hearts so you can apply it to your lives as you read.

Let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us. * “Your beauty, … was perfect through My splendor which I had bestowed upon you,”says the Lord God. * We all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. * The Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.
Blessed is every one who fears the LORD, who walks in His ways. When you eat the labor of your hands, you shall be happy, and it shall be well with you. * Commit your works to the LORD, and your thoughts will be established.
Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. * Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.

Psalms 90: 17; Ezekiel 16:14; 2 Corinthians 3:18; 1 Peter 4:14; Psalms 128:1-2; Proverbs 16:3; Philippians 2: 12-13; 2 Thessalonian 2:16-17

It is our prayer that the work we do this year on the book and the words that we choose to express our thoughts be established by the Lord God to His glory and honor. Amen.
