For
God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes
in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John
3:16
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE...
Did
you know the Bible doesn't just say, "God loves you?" Now don't let
me confuse you, it does say God loves us many times, but each time it does, it
shows us that love as well. God loved us so much time he didn't just say I love
you with a valentine, he showed he loved us by sending his Son!
MY PRAYER...
Loving
and almighty God, thank you for loving me. Thank you for both saying it and
showing it. Please know, dear Father, I love you, too! Accept my words and
actions today as a testimony to my love. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
IT’S ONLY TEMPORARY
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“For
our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far
outweighs them all”
(2
Corinthians 4:17, NIV)
TODAY’S WORD
In
this world, we all have troubles and trials, but aren’t you glad that scripture
promises that they are only temporary? Today’s verse tells us they are
momentary. Compared with eternity, our troubles won’t last long at all! The
second part of this verse tells us that when we stand strong in faith during
times of adversity, we are building that faith and achieving eternal glory.
When you confess your trust and reliance on God, you are passing the test!
If
you are in the middle of tough times today, look to God. The Bible says that
Jesus is the Author and Finisher of your faith. He is the one who writes faith
on your heart and then develops it to completion on the inside of you as you
yield yourself to Him. Your part is to seek Him daily. Follow His commands.
Open your heart and choose to speak His Word which is alive and active.
Remember, your trials are only temporary, but His eternal glory outweighs it
all!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly
Father, thank You for working Your eternal glory in me. I cast my cares on You,
knowing that my trials and troubles are temporary. Thank You for Your eternal
blessing on my life today and always in Jesus’ name. Amen.
