Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he
is near.
Isaiah 55:6
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
In
truth, God is always close to those who genuinely seek after him. The real
problem is that we drift away from him, lose interest, and leave his presence.
So let's seek him and receive his grace and his help while we recognize that he
alone is the one who truly saves.
MY PRAYER
Father,
I seek you with all my heart. While I seek to know about you through your Word,
I long to know you and be known by you as a tender father knows his child and as
a child feels complete trust toward his tender father. Be not only my God, but
be real to me in ways that transcend explanation. Help me sense your nearness
and to know your presence. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
Live with an Eternal
Perspective
Today's Scripture:
…It
is more blessed to give than to receive.
Acts
20:35, NIV.
Today's Word
So
much of our culture is inward focused. People are conditioned to think, “What’s
in it for me?” But the most rewarding way to live is not with the attitude,
“How can I get blessed today?” No, if we are always self-focused wondering how
we can benefit, that’s living with a shallow, temporary mentality. Instead of
looking out only for your good, turn it around and say, “How can I be a
blessing to others? Who can I inspire to rise higher? What seeds of greatness
can I call forth out of someone?” Friend, that’s living at a higher level.
Today,
I encourage you to be on the lookout for ways to be a blessing to other people.
It’s amazing how one word of encouragement can change the direction of a
person’s life forever. When you reach out and speak faith over others, when you
speak vision and cause others to rise higher, something supernatural happens to
your own life. It won’t be long before you see yourself excelling and rising up
higher when you live with an eternal perspective!
Prayer for Today
Father,
help me to live with an eternal perspective. Help me to stay focused on meeting
the needs of others. Let me be Your hands and feet, let me be Your mouthpiece
and bring You glory in everything I do in Jesus’ name. Amen.
