DAILY SHOWER August 18, 2022 Devotion and Declarations
Prayer before the Word:
_ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: Follow God's will
Text: Ephesians 5:11-20 (NIV):
"5:11. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
5:12. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.
5:13. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible,
5:14. for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."
5:15. Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise,
5:16. making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
5:17. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.
5:18. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.
5:19. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord,
5:20. always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
SHOWER (Reflection):
All in all, our take home from today's scripture is understanding God's will and purpose in our life. God's will supersedes all things. That is why it is said that man proposes but God disposes. Therefore, you must be careful how you treat people. Use every opportunity you see yourself for good and services of God.

1. O God, thank You for reminding me about Your will. Let it supersedes and make ways for me in Jesus, Amen.
