On this date, July 20th, Margo was reading in Luke 19:28--40 titled, "Jesus' Triumphal Entry" and in Colossians 2:11--15 titled "Alive with Christ".
Margo underlined a sentence in the commentary on the Colossians passage, and the following remarks from the commentary will provide the context:
"God has declared us not guilty, and we need no longer live under sin's power. God does not take us out of the world or make us robots--we will still feel like sinning, and sometimes we will sin."
Here's what she underlined:
"The difference is that before we were saved, we were slaves to our sinful nature, but now we can choose to live for Christ."
She also underlined this verse in Proverbs 19:
"21 -- Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails."
She was experiencing His plan for herself and I know she was depending on Him to get her through.
