Speaking
the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that
is, Christ.
Ephesians
4:15
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE...
Speaking
the truth is hard enough. You mean I have to do it in love? Yes, if I am to be
Christ's man or woman, I must speak to others as he did.
MY PRAYER...
Father,
forgive me for the bitterness in my heart and unfairness on my lips. Through
your Spirit, help me better use my speech to bless others and glorify you. May
I speak your truth with your love today in all my conversations. Through him
who is Truth and Love I pray. Amen.
HE DELIVERS YOU FROM
ALL
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Many
are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them
all”
(Psalm
34:19, NKJV)
TODAY’S WORD
Isn’t
it good to know that we serve a Deliver? You might feel afflicted today, but
God is working to bring you out of that difficult situation. It may not be in
the way you thought, but you have to trust that God has your best interest at
heart.
An
affliction is defined as the cause of persistent pain or distress. I know that
afflictions can take on many forms — a sickness or hardship, a temptation, a
coworker or family member. There are so many things that can come against us,
but God promises in His Word that no weapon formed against us shall prosper!
Those afflictions are only temporary. Stand in faith believing that God is on
your side, and you and God are a majority! It doesn’t matter what your
circumstances look like, get up every morning and say, “This is the day that
the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. My Deliverer is coming!”
As
you stand and trust the Lord, He will deliver you out of all your afflictions,
and you’ll see His hand of blessing in every area of your life!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father
in heaven, thank You for being my deliverer. Thank You for making me righteous
through the blood of Jesus. I trust that You have a good plan for me, and You
will deliver me out of all affliction in Jesus’ name! Amen.
