For starters, thanks Cody for telling me that you are going to ask me what I read, otherwise, I would have skipped devotions tonight.
Today's Devotion Came from 1 Timothy 4:11-16. Verses 12 and 13 really jumped out at me. '...be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.' Lately, I've really been struggling with some things, and trying to figure out how to deal with them, and what God wants me to be doing right now. These 2 verses give me a few things to do, regardless of where God takes me, or what he wants me to do.
First, I need to make my life a living example to everyone around me. verse 12 points out particular areas that I should be an example.
Second, verse 13 tells me that I need to stay focused on reading God's word, Exhorting others, and doctrine.
It's amazing to me how God always gives me just what I need every single time I search his word! If I would just be faithful in my devotions every day, God would be able to give me what I need to carry me through that day.

Praise the Lord! God is good! Here's a paraphrased verse from Ps 106 that I'm meditating on today: O that men would praise the LORD for his goodness and his marvelous works among the children of men.
