THOUGHTS
ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE
God's desires for us are not hard to
discern. He wants to bless us with
salvation. The incredible gift of his Son is powerful testimony to this
truth. But salvation from sin and death
is not something he wants to happen in our lives only once. He wants our lives to daily reflect his
salvation and to share it with others.
We should act justly and pursue mercy in our relationships, and honor
him with our worship from a humble heart.
MY
PRAYER
Almighty and compassionate Father, as I
embrace this New Year, help my eyes see what your heart sees. Teach me to hate sin and be merciful to the
repentant. Teach me to know truth and
act fairly, while hating abuse and exploitation. Through your Spirit, stir me
to reflect on the great distance between your holy majesty and my inconsistent
character. Make me more your child, I
pray, in Jesus name. Amen.
ENTER
WITH THIS
TODAY’S
SCRIPTURE
“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and
into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.”
(Psalm 100:4, NKJV)
TODAY’S
WORD
As believers, we have the honor and privilege
to enter boldly into God’s presence. Scripture says that we can come to His
throne of grace and receive His mercy. Because He loves us, He has given us
unlimited access to Himself 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
But notice that today’s verse tells us that
we shouldn’t just come any old way to God. We shouldn’t come empty-handed to
the King of kings and the Lord of lords. What can we bring? What do we have
that’s worthy of Almighty God? Our praise. Our thanksgiving. Our worship. We
are to enter His gates with an offering from our hearts of adoration because He
is worthy!
We have to understand, praise isn’t just
about singing songs on Sunday mornings. Praise is the expression of
gratefulness to Father God for Who He is and all that He has done. Praise gets
God’s attention. Praise is a powerful tool in the life of the believer because
God inhabits our praises! When we enter His presence the right way, He enters
our circumstances, and when God shows up, the enemy must flee! Today, enter
into His gates with thanksgiving and open the door for Him to move on your
behalf!
A
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, I come to You today with thanksgiving
in my heart. I enter into Your courts with praise. Today I declare that You are
good, and Your mercy endures forever! Have Your way in me by the power of Your
Holy Spirit in Jesus’ name. Amen.
