It is God's will that by doing good you should silence
the ignorant talk of foolish men. Live as free men, but do not use your freedom
as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.

Peter 2:15-16

THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
What
does the world most need to hear from me today? A life tuned to the melody of
grace that I claim I believe. Doing good, being like Christ, is Peter's answer
to opposition, cynicism, and even persecution. We are free in Jesus, but being
free means that we don't have to pretentiously prove we are free. Instead, we
can live for him who died to conquer death. He renounced absolute heavenly
freedom so we could find it. We are free to serve others, and most of all to
serve God.
MY PRAYER
Holy
Father, my Great Emancipator, you have freed me from sin, law, and death at the
cost of your precious Son. I open my heart to you today to say I love you and
want to thank you. Please accept the actions of my life, the words of my mouth,
the thoughts of my mind, and the emotions of my heart today as my offering of
thanks. Through Jesus my Sacrifice and your holy Son I pray. Amen.
Stored Up Blessings
Today's Scripture:
Oh,
how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear You,
which You have prepared for those who trust in You in the presence of the sons
of men!
Psalm
31:19, NKJV.
Today's Word:
Scripture
talks about how God has blessings stored up for those that honor Him. Think
about that. God has contracts, houses, ideas, good breaks that already have
your name on them! They’ve been stored up for you. The question is, how do you
see them released? Number one: by honoring God and keeping Him first place.
Then number two: by making room for them in your thinking. You’ve got to believe
that something big is in your future. You’ve got to declare His promises over
your life. You have to see with your eyes of faith what God can do.
Today,
why don’t you take the limits off God and say, “God, I don’t see how this could
happen in the natural, but I know You are a supernatural God. I know You have
blessings that already have my name on them. Lord, I just want to thank You for
Your far and beyond favor.” If you live like that, you will see God amaze you
with His goodness, and you’ll receive those blessings He has stored up for you!
Prayer for Today:
Father,
thank You for storing up blessings for me. I choose to honor You and bless You.
I put my faith and hope in You knowing that You will amaze me with Your
goodness in Jesus’ name. Amen.
