And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. — Galatians 5:24 KJV
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. — Galatians 5:24 NIV
Thought and Reflection
When we became true Christians, we put to death the the old person of sin and were raised up a new person. While we have many of the same battles with temptation, we also now have the power of the resurrection and the Holy Spirit at work within us to help us in our struggles.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to live a holy life day by day. Teach me to overcome temptations that I might not sin against You.
May my life be a good example and a holy sacrifice that is pleasing to You. I pray this in Jesus name. Amen.

Alona Smith writes like she sketches—quick strokes, bold colors, no eraser. She ran a small-town art studio before VerseForTheDay invited her to swap charcoal for chapters, yet paint still flecks her keyboard. Dawn finds her barefoot on the porch, swirling watercolors across a travel Bible, letting sunrise seep into the margins. Neighbors wave as she bikes to the farmers’ market, basket rattling with sunflowers and Psalms scribbled on kraft-paper price tags.Alona trusts that Scripture behaves like clay: press your palms in, and a vessel appears where empty air once lived. Afternoon workshops with foster teens prove the point; they mold hope into coffee mugs, then watch steam carry it forward.Diplomas? Only framed sketches of hands lifted in worship. Awards? A dog-eared gratitude list taped to her fridge. Open her reflections when cynicism scratches—she’ll slide a brush into your grip and show you light hiding in the smear of everyday color.
