Read Powerful Morning Declaration July 4, 2023 Tuesday Devotional Message taken from “Commanding Your Morning Daily Devotional by Cindy Trimm
TOPIC: Childish or Childlike?
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. —JAMES 3:17
TODAY’S MESSAGE: There is a big difference between being childish and childlike. The first is self-absorbed, lazy, and undisciplined; the second lays down one’s own wisdom and position for that which comes from above, leaning not to one’s own understanding (Prov. 3:5), and is disciplined by a love that “bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things” (1 Cor. 13:7). It’s like the story of the emperor’s new clothes. To be childlike is to have the simple, frank honesty of a child to realize that sometimes the doctrines we are dressing ourselves up in are nothing more than air and hubris. Instead we must earnestly seek to develop and discipline our senses in the spirit that we might become more proficient in the reality of spiritual things. This cannot be done without a prayer life that is active, unrelenting, and thriving.
TODAY’S DECLARATION: Father, I reject any manifestation of a childish spirit that would cause me not to live authentically. I will seek to discipline myself in the ways of the kingdom of God. I decree and declare that through my active, unrelenting prayer life, I will see good fruit established in my life in the name of Jesus. Amen.
