Welcome to the Path of Life Daily Devotional–continuing for 2023–The Jesus Story!
The Path
of Life daily devotions are designed to be an aid to daily prayer. This year I am posting daily narratives from the Life of Christ, beginning with the Gospel of Mark. Matthew’s Gospel was the source of devotions from March-May. Dr. Luke’s account gives us June-August. Next, we are wind up the Story with the Gospel of John from September-November. December will feature the Christmas Story. As in all my devotions, I will use a single word title followed by a few selected verses on the subject, and concluding with a prayer and a song.
Join me for a detailed walk through the Life of our Lord in this devotional form. If you haven’t already “followed” these devotions, please select that button and register to receive email notification of each posting, including those at StevePhifer.com. Let’s draw closer to the Savior in 2022!
The Path of Life Daily Devotions work for morning or evening.
Start your day or end your day with an encouraging word.
Each devotion, in fact each article I write, ends with the same signature:
Semper Reformanda!

Semper Reformanda!
Semper Reformanda! is my ministry motto. It means “Always Reforming.” The church must never stop progressing toward the Coming of the Lord. We must never cease to listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. We must never stop seeking God’s Face. We must never restrain from testing all things to see if they are from the Lord. This ongoing process requires a growing knowledge of what God has said and a listening ear to what God is saying. If we are not constantly vigilant in these things, our lives will be tossed about by the unrelenting winds of culture. If we are constantly available to the Spirit for instruction in righteousness, we will build our lives on the Rock! To me, Semper Reformanda! is each day’s work as we walk the Path of Life.
You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. (Psalm 16:11 NKJV)

I enjoy your writings. Recently, the Holy Spirit inpressed upon me that there is a fresh release of the Spirit of understanding and wisdom being released to those who are desirous. One of the issues to be given a higher understanding of is MUSIC and its effect on the soul and its effect on the spirit. I look forward to that understanding when it comes! He also mentioned PRAISE, the DANCE, and the DECLARATION.

Bill–I agree! NT worship should be as creative as that described in the Psalms! And it needs to be as sincere and as firmly based on the Word of God. As in this: Psalm 24:3-6 NKJV
“Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the Lord,
And righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him,
Who seek Your face.”
We must be the “generation of those who seek His face!” -SRP
NKJV
