His love is not metered out

You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call on you.

--Psalm 86:5

New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE

Forgiveness is such a sweet blessing.  But God does more than forgive!  He cleanses and forgets.  His love is not metered out or carefully rationed.  He pours it out upon us if we genuinely seek him as our God and Father.

MY PRAYER

O Precious Father, I call to you wanting you to know how important your love and forgiveness are in my life.  Thank you for sending Jesus to show your love and pay the debt of my sin.  Help me to live today as your child: may others see my joy and my passion, to you glory.  Through my Savior I pray.  Amen.

Smart People Follow Jesus

He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.

Psalm 23:2

            Smart People Follow Jesus          

The world says, “He who fails to plan, plans to fail.” It says you’ve got to make smart, detailed plans to succeed in life. You’ve got to study market trends, and be in the know, so that you can be the early bird that catches the worm. You’ve also got to keep looking over your shoulder because you never know when your competitors are going to catch up with you!

Is that how God wants you to live your life? Most certainly not! He wants you to be a sheep. He wants you to take Him as your shepherd and rest in His love and care for you! Leave all the “worrying” and working out of plans to Him. He sees further than you can! And when you simply follow His leading, you will end up walking in good success.

Once, when I decided to sell my apartment, I didn’t prioritize studying the property market to see if it was a good time to sell it. In fact, I found out that someone else who had just sold off a similar-sized unit had done so at a price that was an all-time low. He must have been in a hurry. Naturally speaking, he spoiled the market for me.

In any case, my wife and I felt that it was the right time to move. We just decided to follow the Lord’s leading. So we put our apartment up for sale and guess what? After only a few viewings, we sold our apartment at the price we wanted! And when we bought our new apartment, we bought it at a price that was at an all-time low! What Jesus did for me, He can do for you too.

My friend, by all means, make plans and be diligent to know what you need to know in the field of your industry and in the areas you’re going to make important decisions. But first, seek and hear what Jesus is saying to you as you bring your concerns and what you need to do to Him. Believe that He will lead you by His Spirit and with His wisdom and perfect timing. And He will lead you to good success in ways beyond anything that you can ever plan for!

Patience and Gentleness

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

--Ephesians 4:2

New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE

"You mean I have to put up with that!?"  There are those folks in life about whom the saying is true:  "They are the grit out of which we are to fashion our pearl."  But our great example in this challenge is Jesus.  Think of what he had to put up with in his 12 disciples.  Remember how transformational his patience and gentleness with them was.  Can we dare to less?

MY PRAYER

Give me strength and patience, O God, that I may be as loving, gentle, and patient with others as you have been with me.  Through Jesus my Lord and hero I pray.  Amen.

Wisdom And Length Of Days

Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding…Length of days is in her right hand, in her left hand riches and honor.

Proverbs 3:13, 16

                       

The Bible tells us that Jesus is our wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:30). And because we have Jesus as our wisdom, we can be blessed with the two hands of wisdom. This means that riches and honor, as well as length of days, belong to us!

Beloved, pursue Jesus as your wisdom and you will experience good success in every area of your life. For example, if you are a business owner, depend on the Lord for His wisdom. Trust that the Lord will bless you with the wisdom from heaven to come up with moneymaking or money-saving ideas.

When you pursue Jesus as your wisdom and walk in His wisdom, you will also enjoy length of days. Your life will not be cut short due to foolish or wrong decisions. His wisdom will preserve you and cause you to live a long and fulfilling life!

Last? Nobody likes to be last.

Sitting down, Jesus called the twelve and said, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all."

--Mark 9:35

New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE

Last?  Nobody likes to be last.  We have a hard enough time settling for second place, much less last place.  Jesus reverses the rank.  The person who is most important to him is not the person seeking the status and notoriety. The most important person is like Jesus himself: willing to give up rank and status and importance to serve.  For Jesus, last means first in service and first in the eyes of God.

MY PRAYER

Magnificent God my Savior, you have made the world wonderful for me and have given your Son to redeem me.  How can I ever thank you or repay you for your grace and kindness.  Today help me see those you want me to serve with grace and kindness as I try to be more like you.  This I pray in the name of the one who washed his disciples' feet.  Amen.

Be Changed By Beholding Christ

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 3:18

           

If you go to any good bookstore, you will find a section called “Self-Improvement”. Here, you’ll find all kinds of books describing various principles and methods you can follow to improve yourself. In all these books, the focus is on you using your willpower and self-discipline to apply the principles to improve yourself.

But God does not want you focusing on yourself. That’s self-occupation, which can only take you so far, with results that last only as long as your willpower lasts. God has a higher way. He wants you to be Christ-occupied. When you look to yourself to improve yourself, you are putting confidence in your flesh. But the Bible tells us that in our flesh dwells no good thing (Romans 7:18), and that we should put no confidence in our flesh (Philippians 3:3).

My friend, the best way to change yourself is to forget self and be occupied with Christ. When you read the Bible, see His beauty, His majesty, His compassion and His grace. As you keep beholding and meditating on His glory, the Holy Spirit inside you goes to work in you. He will transform you into the very same image of Christ. You will be changed from glory to glory, experiencing true and lasting inward transformation!

Spirit to Spirit

God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship him in spirit and in truth.

--John 4:24

New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE

Genuine worship is a gift.  Since God is spirit, since he is holy, we cannot fully approach him without the gift and blessing of his Holy Spirit.  As Christians who received his Spirit when we were baptized into Christ and born of God, we can now speak to him and worship him Spirit to Spirit.

MY PRAYER

Abba Father, by the gift of your Spirit I come to you as your child.  Thank you so much for giving me your Spirit so that I can approach you with confidence and know you hear the concerns of my heart.  Please accept the worship of my heart, of my words, and of my actions.  May the things I do today bring you glory.  In Jesus name I pray.  Amen.

The Revelation Of Righteousness Delivers

For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

Romans 6:14

I give thanks to the Lord for all the testimonies I’ve received from precious lives touched by Jesus. Here’s one from a brother in Australia, who wrote to me to share how he had been delivered from multiple addictions as he started to hear and receive the revelation of his righteousness in Christ:

I have just given up smoking by doing what you’ve taught in your books and DVDs—becoming conscious of and confessing my righteousness in Christ—whenever I was tempted to smoke. I have also been set free from 20 years of drug and alcohol abuse, and am free of paranoid thoughts. I couldn’t give them up through my own efforts, but through Christ I have. Praise Jesus for His overcoming grace!

My friend, God’s provision covers all aspects of life, including deliverance from long-term addictions. When you continually receive God’s gifts of abundant grace, righteousness and no condemnation in Christ, you will walk in His power to reign over every addiction or condition holding you captive today!

Sowing and Reaping

­­Do not be deceived:   God cannot be mocked.  A man reaps what he sows.  The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit will reap eternal life."

--Galatians 6:7-8

New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE

Isn't it incredible how huge trees grow out of tiny seeds! This principle runs throughout all of life.  We can never completely get away from the seeds we sow.  So let's not fool ourselves while we're trying to do a "snow job" on God.  Let's make sure the seeds we sow are the ones we want sprouting up!

MY PRAYER

O Eternal God, who lived before time began and who will be the Great I AM when time is no more, bless the seeds my life sows so they may bear fruit and bless those I love.  Through Jesus, the grain of wheat who died and was buried so that life may flower forth.  Amen.

            

Reach Out

Today's Scripture:

Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.

Matthew 25:40, NIV.

Today's Word:

The way to tell how mature you are is by the way you treat people who can’t do anything for you. We can all be kind to the boss. He may give us a promotion. We can all be friendly to the popular person at school. If they like us, everybody will be our friend. That’s easy. But if we’re going to live the way God intends, we’ve got to learn to be good to everyone. Jesus said, “When you do good to the least of these, you’re doing it unto Me.” When you go out of your way to befriend the person that everyone shuns, Jesus said, “It’s like you’re doing it unto Me.”

Instead of rushing by the parking lot attendant you see at work each day, why don’t you take time to see how they’re doing? That person at the office that others ignore, why don’t you reach out to them and share the love of Jesus? We build the kingdom of God one life at a time. Show love, show His goodness, tell people about salvation through Christ. As you reach out and help others, just like a boomerang, that help will come right back to you, and you’ll move forward into the blessing and destiny He has prepared for you.

Prayer for Today:

Father, I desire to always honor You. Help me to see the needs of the people around me. Help me to treat them the way You would treat them. Show me how to help others rise higher and sow good seeds into them in Jesus’ name. Amen.
