Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in
the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
--Colossians
3:17
New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
Everything! All!
No matter what we say, no matter what we do, it is to be offered as a
gift of thanks to God with Jesus' name, power, and honor attached! This makes all of life our worship and
thanksgiving to God. There's no such thing as going to worship; if we live, if
we talk, if we act it's worship. So how
has your worship been lately?
MY PRAYER
Almighty
and Most Holy God, I want all of my life to be lived out to your glory, a
living testament of thanks to you for the grace you have given me in
Jesus. While I do not always do this as
well as I would like, I lovingly offer you my words, my actions, my heart and
my mind to bring you glory by doing your will.
Please, use your Spirit to remove the areas of self-deception from my
life so that weakness and hypocrisy will not rob my discipleship of its
intended worship of your majesty. In
Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Close the Door on
Fear
Today's Scripture
Do
not give the devil an opportunity to work.
Ephesians
4:27, ISV.
Today's Word
So
many people today are living with less than God’s best because they’ve allowed
fear to creep in and take root in their lives. Fear is the greatest weapon the
enemy uses to try to hold us back. Fear is not from God. Scripture tells us
that fear brings torment. It’s designed to paralyze us and keep us from God’s
blessings.
The
good news is that God is greater than fear. His power in you is greater than
any power that comes against you. But, in order to walk in His power, you have
to close the door on the enemy. See, the enemy can’t have access to your life
unless you open a door and give him access. That’s why we have to be careful
about what we watch, what we listen to, what we read, and what we say. When we
open ourselves to fear, we give the enemy opportunity.
If
you’ve allowed fear to steal from you in any area of life, today you can be
free—you can be finished with fear. Conquering the enemy starts by making the
choice to close the door on fear by receiving God’s love and meditating on His
promises. Receive His truth and speak His truth. Let Him set you free and lead
you into victory as you close the door on fear.
Prayer for Today
Father,
I come to You in faith declaring that I am finished with fear. Thank You for
giving me a spirit of power, love and a sound mind. Fill me with Your peace and
joy today as I worship You and move forward in Your victory in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
