Remember where that thou are fallen; do the first works. Revelation 2:5. When we first come to him, we are on fire even when we don't know the Bible. Then as time goes on, we become complacent. Lord, help me to never forget who you are to me. Let me never forget what you had done for me. You took me out of darkness and brought me into the light. I may not have been like Mary but I was living in the very darkness of the enemy. I was in the very throws of plotting to take my life in a violent way. I thank you for the life I have lived since then but bring me back to my first love. In Your Name, Amen.

from the raging wind and tempest.”
9 Destroy, O Lord, divide their tongues;
for I see violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go around it
on its walls,
and iniquity and trouble are within it;
11 ruin is in its midst;
oppression and ...
