Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual
songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to
God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
--Ephesians
5:19-20
New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
Hearts
full of thanks -- that's what makes for good singing! With Jesus as the source of our salvation and
center of our future, how can we not sing! But singing is not just for us and
God. God wants our songs to bless others. It is our ultimate spiritual talk.
MY PRAYER
O
Lord, my God, you are Awesome and wondrous. Your works are magnificent and your
deeds are beyond comprehension. May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of
my heart ever declare your praises. May my heart be filled with thanksgiving
for all that you have done to save us from sin, shame, law, and death. You
alone are worthy of my praise, my songs, and my life. Through Jesus I pray.
Amen.
Change Your
Environment
Today's Scripture:
Very
early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and
went off to a solitary place, where He prayed.
Mark
1:35, NIV.
Today's Word:
Are
you facing challenges today or feeling overwhelmed by your circumstances?
Perhaps what you see on the outside doesn’t match what God has placed on the
inside of you. The key is: don’t sit around in self-pity, depressed or
discouraged. Go out and find someplace you can dream and connect with Almighty
God. Go to the park and watch the sunset. Look up at the stars and think about
His goodness. Take a break from the environment that seems to be holding you
back. Find a place that inspires you, a place where you can meditate on His
Word and let your faith be elevated. Stay in a good, Bible-based church where
people are going to build you up and not tear you down; a place where people
are going to challenge you to rise higher and become all that God has created
you to be.
I
know people who get home from work every night and watch the same depressing TV
shows week after week. Don’t let that be you! If you’re going to enlarge your
vision, you’ve got to get out of a limited environment. Put yourself in an
atmosphere of victory and success and move forward in the good things God has
prepared for you!
Prayer for Today:
Father,
today I choose to separate myself from my circumstances and from my environment
so I can set my heart and mind on You. Show me Your ways. Reveal Your love to
me. Give me Your vision of victory for my future in Jesus’ name. Amen.
