If
we live, we live to the Lord: and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we
live or die, we belong to the Lord.
Romans
14:8
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
One
of the incredible realizations we can have as Christians is that our
relationship with the Lord can be eternal. As long as we seek after him, he is
always there and no one can separate us from his love. Even when we die, we go
to be with the Lord. When we sleep in death, we are still "in the
Lord." Everything we have on earth is temporary except our love for the
Lord Jesus and those with whom we share that love!
MY PRAYER
Almighty
God, thank you so much for binding yourself to our world in Jesus and binding
me close to you through his Lordship in my life. I look forward to the day when
the Lord, who I kneel to worship today, will be recognized by all the living
and the dead as the One True Lord. I pledge to you, Father, that I will live
this day to honor him and by honoring him, honor you. In his name I pray. Amen.
Be The Blessed Man
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope
is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads
out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf
will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease
from yielding fruit.
Jeremiah 17:7–8
Who
wouldn’t want to be the blessed man described in Jeremiah 17?
In
both good and bad times, the blessed man thrives and reigns. He is like a tree
planted by the waters, with its roots spread out by the river. When the heat is
on—when the competition heats up or when there is a financial drought—he
doesn’t fear or worry. His “leaves” remain green, in other words, he stays
young and fresh. And he continues to be fruitful—always succeeding and seeing
the desired results, whether in his business, career, family life or ministry!
How
do you enjoy the blessings of the blessed man? You look not to man but to Jesus
alone. Looking to Jesus is to meditate on His Word, His unmerited favor and His
gift of righteousness. Begin to truly put your trust and hope in Jesus, instead
of in your own strength or other people. Then, get ready to thrive and be
bountifully fruitful whether times are good or bad!
