Yes, Lord!!! Love that one!!! He is so good!

I loved today’s lesson. It appeared so boring with all the genealogy until I listened to Wendy. Thanks for the insight.
Divine guidance – Romans 8:14
If I remember who I am I will start acting like who I am. When I do, I will find that I can say “No” to the flesh, and “Yes” to the Spirit, and to walk in a way that glorifies God.
Galatians 5:18-23
Something To Do: I must remember that I have been born into God’s family through the Spirit who imparts new life. I have been adopted into God’s family as His chosen heirs. I must make sure my actions reflect these truths.
