Adapted from Starting Your Day Right

For the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp to deliver you and to give up your enemies before you. Therefore shall your camp be holy, that He may see nothing indecent among you and turn away from you.

If a habit is controlling you, you will not enjoy the best that God offers you. Don't make excuses for bondages that seem to have a hold on you. Denial and excuses will keep you from enjoying your life.

Whether it’s a drug or alcohol addiction or a bad temper, you cannot blame it on your genes or your family. God makes a way of escape for us and promises a good life for those who are born again. Claim your rights as a child of God. Say, "I am a new person in Christ; I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (see Philippians 4:13).

Prayer of the Day: Father God, I come to You today, in the name of Jesus, and ask that You help me overcome my problems with a good attitude, and with total reliance on You and Your Word, knowing that only through You can I do all things, because of Your strength, amen.
