I read Dr. Stanley's atricles two times daily. In the "In Touch" magazine and with the retirement devotional. I am a born again Christian saved by God's grace, and still, this devotional serves my needs because human nature nudges us to think we can "arrive" on our own, or we need to "prove our worth" to God. This happens so easily when we move our focus from God and His gift of salvation full and free to ourselves. "Self" is a troublesome thing unless it is fully surrendered to God's purpose.

Growing up I had the impression that God was a guy with a whip ready to keep me in line. If or when I sinned I was doomed to hell and God was just wasiting to send me there. These are comforting verses of scripture for some one like me. It has been a hard mindset to overcome, but I'm getting there. For many years I was raised around legalistic mind set.
