05/15          Matthew 11:28-30

28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

STRENGTH

The Holy Spirit indwells us and when we ask gives us the strength to live like Jesus.  Jesus is our elder brother and we want to grow into His likeness.  You can when you let the Holy Spirit have control of your life.  

05/14          1 Thessalonians 5:14-19

14 Brothers and sisters, we urge you to warn those who are lazy. Encourage those who are timid. Take tender care of those who are weak. Be patient with everyone. 15 See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people. 16 Always be joyful. 17 Never stop praying. 18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. 19 Do not stifle the Holy Spirit. 

WISDOM
WISE people take care of those around them.  People count.  Care for them.  Be forgiving and kind.  People count.  Especially with the Lord.  You are most like Jesus when you are caring for others. 

05/13          Matthew 7:13-14

13 “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. 14But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.

HELP

Help me Lord.  Help me make sure about my salvation.  I love Jesus and see to be like Him.  HE loved the unlovely.  He forgave all of our many, many sins.  We are to live until we die.  Likewise, we are to constantly seek the Lord’s face that we might not sin against Him.  Jesus is Lord. 

05/12          1 John 1:8-10

8 If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. 9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts.

SINNER

I am a sinner.  I know my sin.  I confess it to the Lord.  He forgives me and helps me grow in Christlikeness.  Jesus is Lord.  

05/11          Psalm 66:17-18

17 For I cried out to him for help, praising him as I spoke. 18 If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. 

REPENTED

I confessed my sin, agreeing with God and He listened to me and forgave me.  Turn away from the world and turn to the Lord God Almighty.  Praise the name of the Lord.  Jesus is Lord.  

05/10          John 1:9

9 The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 

JESUS

He came to save us from our sin.  He came to bring us into the Family of God.  He came looking for us.  He gave His life for us while we were dead in our trespasses and sin.  Raised from the dead by the power of God, Jesus is alive today seated at the right hand of the Father.  Praise the Lord, Jesus is alive.  

05/09          Psalm 34:1

1 I will praise the LORD at all times. I will constantly speak his praises. 

LORD

The Lord is my rock, my fortress and He saves me from all things, praise His Name.  His name is wonderful, mighty God, Creator and Sustainer.  He is the Lord and there is no other.  Praise His name all creation.  Praise His name all the earth.  Praise the name of the Lord.  

05/08          Psalm 146:2

2 I will praise the LORD as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath. 

PRAISE
Praise the Lord for His goodness and great mercy.  He is so patient and cares for me.  Praise the Lord for the wonderful blessings He pours out

05/07          Matthew 16:5-6

5 Later, after they crossed to the other side of the lake, the disciples discovered they had forgotten to bring any bread. 6 “Watch out!” Jesus warned them. “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 

EVIL
Evil substitutes things or self in place of God.  Whatever it is that proclaims to fix us is evil. Only Jesus can fix us.  He brings us into the presence of the Lord God Almighty.  He is Lord.  Bend the knee to the Son and give your life to Him. 

05/06          Luke 9:61-62

61 Another said, “Yes, Lord, I will follow you, but first let me say good-bye to my family.” 62 But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.”

NOW

Following Jesus starts this moment.  Obey Him.  Listen to Him.  Follow Him.  Jesus is alive and He is looking for you.  Come to Him and He will guide you.
