Deep In Your Soul

Saturday, October 24, 2026

Good morning, Lord

Father in Heaven, open my heart and mind, Holy Spirit. Fill my consciousness and complete Your joy in me as I take up my cross and follow...In Jesus' name…

Memory verse: 1 John 1:8–9

8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the 

truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and 

just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all 

unrighteousness.

Verse of the day: “A man finds joy in giving an apt reply — and how good is a timely word!”—Proverbs 15:23

Today’s reading: Jeremiah 3-5 1 Timothy 4

Look Deep In Your Soul

I read an article from a pastor’s wife where she told of growing up in church as a ‘church kid’. She went through all of her school doing the ‘right’ things-going on mission trips and working around church but could not shake the feeling that something was missing. At some point she did not feel as if her sin was really bad enough for someone to die for. She said her life was like a collage of ‘Jesus-y’ stuff painted over an unsaved soul. I thought of this scripture:

Matthew 23:27-28

27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.”

The lady said that nothing was better than realizing that her savior died for her soul. She became a believer-as a pastor’s wife. She said she had to swallow her pride-but nothing was better-nothing was more important to her than Christ.

I write this today for any of you who may have gone through similar circumstances. All of us have doubts-but-if Jesus is not the most important thing to you in your soul, then it is time to face God with the way you feel.

Don’t follow your own heart...follow His.

Lay your heart out in front of God and give Him everything-if you have not.

...because He loves you...He will not let you go…

Father in Heaven,

Your name is above all. I want to know Your kingdom. Give me today what You want me to have. Forgive me for not concentrating on You. Lead me away from evil.

Loving Father,

In the name of Christ Jesus,

Amen
