Daily Wisdom for Women - January 3, 2023

 January 3, 2023 - Habitual Fellowship - "Noah was a just and righteous man, blameless in his [evil] generation; Noah walk [in habitual fellowship] with God."  Genesis 6: 9

The key in the devotion today, which focuses on the story of Noah as a person, is that we need to spend time with God---making that a habit.  A good quote from the last paragraph in the reading is "When you habitually spend time with God, you too will begin the process of realigning yourself with Him, beginning with your thoughts  Doing so will not only save you but aid you in saving others."

Rhonda and I have been sharing devotions for at least 6 years.  So far we have not faltered from our daily routine, even though there have been times when one of us has to post each day while the other is away from home or busy with other things and just can't access the computer.  But we always catch up and continue.  We never abandon the journey. 

We chose the book 365 Morning Devotions for Women because we both try to focus on our devotions first thing in the morning, especially since she retired last year.  It is a good way to start our days.  I added in this devotion each day.  I saw this book on my stack of books by the bed and I am not sure where it came from.  Maybe I bought it a while ago as a possibility for Rhonda and me to  use/  At any rate I am using it as a secondary devotion source and posting here.  

I like the title of this devotion also---Habitual Fellowship.  I enjoy starting my day with devotions, with a look at the scripture, and with a focus on the prayers at the end of the passages.  It is true what they say about doing something for so many consecutive days, then it becomes a habit.  I would really miss my morning devotions if I couldn't do them!
