FEBRUARY 3

1 Corinthians 4:9-13- We are made as the filth of the world.

 Remember to read “My Utmost for His Highest” for Today

STOOP - BEND -  BURN

I stoop in humility before You

I stoop to serve as I am.

I praise my Lord for the privilege

And I know for sure whose I am.

I bend and flex as You lead me

I wait with patience to run.

Now as I stoop, bend and worship

My life has finally begun.

I burn all the dross with my excess.

I burn what is not of the Lord.

And now as I yield all my purpose

The Holy Spirit is welcome on board.

Stoop, bend and burn with God’s Purpose.

Stoop, bend and bow at His feet.

What a privilege to offer my worship

In a place where God and I meet.

JOURNAL JOTTINGS: STOOPING involves facing the realistic truth of who we are without Christ. BENDING involves being teachable and BURNING reminds us of refining. Journal the areas you need to work on in your spiritual life. Are you transparent, teachable and submitting to the refiner’ fire?  Journal your journey in these areas of spiritual growth.

DEAR LORD, Thank You that You see me with transparency. Thank you that you are teaching me day by day as I bend my will to Yours. Thank you for the difficulties that come my way because I know that through them You are refining me. In Jesus’ Name AMEN.
