JULY 1

By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. (1 Cor. 3:10)

I’ve learned the hard way that I’m never as strong as I think I am. Like you, I’m a work in progress, often taking two steps forward and three steps back. Sometimes I can be the most self-disciplined person you’ve ever met, a ninja warrior of self-control. I can go a year without eating pizza, hamburgers, junk food, and desserts with no problem at all. But when someone cuts me off on the road, then all my self-discipline goes out the window in a flash.

Knowing how quickly I’m capable of failing, I’m never going to say for a second I’m above any sin. I’m as human as everyone else. Truth be told, we all are. We’re all capable of falling short in any way at any time, and we have to recognize our weaknesses and defend ourselves against attacks from the Enemy. Acknowledging your weakness is the first step toward true strength. You are only as strong as you are honest, and if you really want to rely on God, then you must not deceive yourself about your flaws.

This month we’re going to focus on building—a secure defense system against sin, habits pleasing to God, and stronger relationships, including forgiveness and restoration. Like a house that’s being renovated, some parts have to be torn down before the new design can take shape. You are God’s masterpiece, even when you can’t see the transformation.

Power Lift

Lord, thank you for tearing down the old sinful ways in my heart and building a strong foundation anchored on you and your Word.
