Jesus
answered, "The work of God is this: To believe in the one he has
sent."

THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
Do
you believe in Jesus? Do you really believe? Shortly after Max Lucado came back
from his mission work in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, he shared with a group of his
closest friends that his theology was pretty simple. He didn't have a handle on
a lot of the big difficult theological problems that divide folks. But Max said
he came to the firm and deep conviction that God loves us and he showed that
love by sending Jesus to live among us, to die for us, and to be raised from
the dead so we could, too. This is the work of God -- amazingly simple and
awesomely powerful.
MY PRAYER
Holy
God, I do believe that Jesus came to earth, died, and was raised from the dead.
Please help me show and share that message with those around me looking to find
hope and help. Holy Spirit, open my eyes to those around me who are searching,.
Father, I want so much to share in your work, please help me as I rededicate
myself to it today. Through Jesus, my Savior, I pray. Amen.
LET GOD BE GOD
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Rest
in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him...”
(Psalm
37:7, NKJV)
TODAY’S WORD
Are
you struggling with trying to make a dream come to pass? Are you frustrated in
a relationship, trying to make someone else change or live right? You may mean
well, you may have good goals, but if you are trying to orchestrate things to
happen your way, on your timetable, you are only going to frustrate yourself.
At some point, you have to turn those circumstances over to God and trust that
He has your best interest at heart.
How
do you turn things over to God? Start by making the choice and declaring your
resolve. Simply say, “Father, I choose to let You be God of this situation. I
take my hands off. I trust You.” Then, choose to worship Him. Worship is one of
the best ways to set your heart and mind in the right place. You can’t worry
and worship at the same time! Worship is a sign that you are trusting God;
worry is a sign that you are trying to control things.
Today,
take the pressure off yourself and turn things over to God. Give Him control
and let Him take your setbacks and turn them into comebacks. Remember, the God
who holds the universe holds you in the palm of His hand. Trust Him and let God
be God in every area of your life!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father,
today I choose to release every care and concern into Your loving hands. I
refuse to worry and choose to trust. Fill me with Your peace. Show me Your ways
as I surrender every area of my heart and life to You in Jesus’ name. Amen.
