Bible in a year: : Deuteronomy 1-2

Thoughts for Today
With God's help and an understanding of family influences, we do not have to repeat the mistakes of our parents and grandparents. Jesus can break the chain of dysfunction.

As we believe and obey God's truth, his cleansing power will help us develop godly behavior patterns.

Consider this ...
It is interesting to trace our family tree and even do generational behavior studies; however, freedom comes first by being "born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God." 1 Peter 1:23 NIV To live a life free from enslaving hand-me-downs, it is imperative to walk out God's behavior patterns.

After trusting Jesus to set you free from the negative influences in your past, begin spending more time with him in prayer and more time renewing your mind by studying the Bible and meditating on it. Ask Jesus to help you develop new positive behavior patterns that are pleasing to him. Patterns filled with his love.
