There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ
Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life in Christ has
set me free from the law of sin and death.
Romans
8:1-2
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE...
"Free
at last, free at last, praise Lord God Almighty I am free at last."
Becoming a Christian means we have been liberated from law-keeping. We now have
God living in us, through the Holy Spirit, to not only help us know his will,
but to live it. Through the Spirit's power, we can do what no law could make us
do: live up to God's standards of righteousness.
MY PRAYER...
Gracious
father, thank you for all of your gifts to me. Today, I want to especially
thank you for liberating me from law and empowering me with your Spirit. Fill
me and empower me today with your Spirit as I live my life for you. Through
Jesus my Lord I pray. Amen.
REFUSE TO WORRY
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Who
of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?”
(Matthew
6:27, NIV)
TODAY’S WORD
Is
there something that you are worrying about today? To worry means to allow
something to revolve in your mind over and over again. God doesn’t want you to
live worried or anxious about anything. He knows that worry steals your peace
and joy. It affects every area of your life. Have you heard the saying, “Don’t
worry yourself sick?” That’s because worrying affects your physical body. It
affects your sleep. You won’t ever gain anything by worrying; in fact, you’ll
lose precious moments that you can never get back again. The good news is that
God has promised that you can have victory over worry. It starts by making the
choice to trust in Him. When you cast your cares on Him, He will give you His
peace.
Decide
today to put an end to worry in your life. Choose to feed your faith and fill
your mind with God's promises. As you focus on God’s Word, you’ll drive out
worry and fill your heart with faith and expectancy; and you’ll be empowered to
move forward into the life of blessing He has in store for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly
Father, today I choose to put an end to worry in my life. I choose to feed my
faith by studying Your promises and declaring Your Word over my life. Help me
to totally trust in You today and every day in Jesus’ name. Amen.
