Be happy [in your faith] and rejoice and be glad-hearted continually (always); Be unceasing in prayer [praying perseveringly]; Thank [God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks], for this is the will of God for you [who are] in Christ Jesus [the Revealer and Mediator of that will].
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 AMPC
Slaves of Sin (Addictions)
Continuing to do something you know is destructive to yourself and loved ones your life affects... You are a slave to it... modern speak addicted...
We know that our old (unrenewed) self was nailed to the cross with Him in order that [our] body [which is the instrument] of sin might be made ineffective and inactive for evil, that we might no longer be the slaves of sin.

The latest guest post on Devotional Treasures this week comes from a good friend and brother David Duncan, I heartily recommend his post and blog.

For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].
Ephesians 2:10 AMPC
In the gloom a light glimmers and glows.
We have received an invitation.
We are invited to make a pilgrimage—
into the heart and life of God.
The invitation has long been on public record.
You can hardly look anywhere across the human scene and not encounter it.
It is literally “blowing in the wind.”
A door of welcome seems open to everyone without exception.
No person or circumstance other than our own decision can keep us away.
“Whosoever will may come.”

Spring has certainly arrived in Scotland, on that note I was thinking it won't be long until we see the first butterflies. That prompted this post about prayers.
