There
is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave
himself as a ransom for all men.
1
Timothy 2:5-6
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE...
We
do not need another person, no matter how mighty, pious, or special, to
intercede for us before God. As his children, we can go freely, knowing that
God himself has provided the perfect mediator between us and himself. That
mediator alone is head of the church and chief priest before God for us. His
name is Christ Jesus, our Lord.
MY PRAYER...
O
God, you are my God, and I praise you for making yourself so available. I know
that in my power, I have no right to approach you. Yet in your grace you not
only provided a ransom for my sin but a mediator for my approach to you. Jesus,
I thank you as well, for paying the price and staying at the Father's side to
intercede and speak for me! Thank you for making this prayer known to the
Father. Amen.
PROSPER IN ALL YOU DO
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“He
shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its
fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does
shall prosper”
(Psalm
1:3, NKJV)
TODAY’S WORD
Large
trees represent power, majesty and stability. Have you ever noticed the
difference between a tree planted by the water and a tree far away from water?
The tree next to the water is much more healthy and vibrant. Its fruit and
blossoms are the most beautiful.
In
the same way, when you are “planted” in the Word of God, your spirit is fed and
you grow strong just like the tree by the water. You’ll bring forth fruit at
the proper season. In other words, you’ll be in the right place and the right
time. You’ll be productive and fruitful. And notice the end of today’s verse.
It says that whatever you do will prosper! Do you want to prosper in your
relationships? Seek God’s Word regarding relationships. Do you want to prosper
in your health? Seek God’s Word about healing. Do you want to prosper in your
finances? Seek God’s Word regarding finances. Make sure your heart and mind are
planted in the Word of God. Let Him illuminate your heart with truth. Let Him
wash over you with His promises. Seek Him, trust Him and obey Him, and everything
you do will prosper!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father
God, I love You so much today. Thank You for Your Word which is truth and water
to my soul. Search me, know me and guide me in the way that I should go as I
stay focused on You and planted in Your Word in Jesus name. Amen.
