You
know that is was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you
were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your
forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or
defect.

Peter 1:18-19
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE...
If
value is determined by price, we are incredibly valuable. God took the most
precious treasure of heaven to buy us out of sin and death and adopt us into
his family. Silver and gold pale in comparison to that value.
MY PRAYER...
Holy
God, may I live today constantly aware of my inestimable value to you. May my
words, thoughts and actions be permeated with a sense of worth. Not so that I
may seem important but so that I may live in holiness and honor to your
precious gift to me. Through him I pray. Amen.
KEEP SEEKING
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Keep
on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will
find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you”
(Matthew
7:7, NLT)
TODAY’S WORD
Is
there something you are believing God for today? Does it seem like it’s taking
a long time to come to pass? Be encouraged because the Bible says that through
faith and patience you will inherit His promises! If you’ll stay in faith, if
you’ll keep on seeking Him, it won’t be long until you see that breakthrough!
The
problem is that most people give up just before they get their miracle. They
stop when things get hard or when they don’t get the answer they want the first
time. But today’s verse encourages us to continually ask and continually seek.
That doesn’t mean that we seek Him one time and then stop. No, we seek Him
until we have the promise!
Today,
submit your prayers to the Lord and keep an attitude of faith and expectancy.
Keep asking. Keep seeking. Keep knocking on the door, and it will be opened to
you. Know that God is working behind the scenes. He perfecting whatever
concerns you. Don’t give up! Instead, start thanking Him for His faithfulness
in your life. Thank Him for His promise that He is a rewarder of those who
diligently seek after Him!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father
in heaven, thank You for giving me a diligent spirit. Thank You for Your
faithfulness. Give me strength to stand and seek You until I see Your promises
fulfilled in every area of my life in Jesus’ name! Amen.
