Devotions

So in addition to the books I am reading a Daily Devotional, though admittedly not daily. It is so far the best little devotional I have read. When I read it it reminds me of Proverbs in that it is direct and has a short but sweet feel to it, often a bullseye and without filler. Such was my appreciation of Proverbs and this book is written with a similar feel. Some days are what I need to hear and some are what I want to hear. In an effort to catch up last night I ripped through the last several days worth. (I'm embarassed to say just how far behind I was.) A few of them hit harder than others for me. The topics were;

1-Living without regret [Acts 24:16]

2-Failure and success [1 John 5:12]

3-Lord of Lords [Psalm 33:18]

I have always been in the mindset that regret was part of life and so was failure. Truth is that statement is not completely wrong, but it doesn't have to be like it was/is. Failure doesn't have to keep me from trying and since my regrets are based on not trying the two devotions went together well. The third one comes into play to essentialy fix the other two. When read these pages make complete sence, but as always will probly not come easily. Still, it's nice to have this book of neatly packaged perspectives to carry around from day to day.
