01/14          Jeremiah 29:11-13

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

FUTURE

We have a future in Jesus Christ.  He is life.  He is our life.  Filled with the Holy Spirit we confess with Peter that Jesus is the Christ-He is God.  Fully God, fully man Jesus offers eternal life to us-life like God’s.  He is our future. 

01/13          Isaiah 9:1-2

1 Nevertheless, that time of darkness and despair will not go on forever. The land of Zebulun and Naphtali will be humbled, but there will be a time in the future when Galilee of the Gentiles, which lies along the road that runs between the Jordan and the sea, will be filled with glory. 2 The people who walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a light will shine.

LIGHT

The Light of the World has come in Jesus.  He is God come to man.  Jesus would that no one be lost but it is a choice.  Choose Jesus.  He is the Light of the World.

01/12          Ecclesiastes 8:7-8

7 Indeed, how can people avoid what they don’t know is going to happen? 8 None of us can hold back our spirit from departing. None of us has the power to prevent the day of our death. There is no escaping that obligation, that dark battle. And in the face of death, wickedness will certainly not rescue the wicked.

DEATH

There is a day when we will pass from this life into the next.  We don’t know exactly what that will be like but Jesus said that we should be willing to do anything to avoid Hell.  How can we avoid Hell?  By accepting Jesus as Savior and asking Him to forgive you of your sin.  Once we believe in Him and trust Him to save us He says He will never leave us.  When we pass from this life to the next we will be with Him.

01/11          Ecclesiastes 7:14

14 Enjoy prosperity while you can, but when hard times strike, realize that both come from God. Remember that nothing is certain in this life. 

NOTHING

Nothing is certain in life except God’s love.  He loves you.  He is seeking you right this very moment.  He wants to have a relationship with you and then fellowship.  Jesus and Lord and He is calling you to Himself. 

01/10          Proverbs 24:19-22

19 Don’t fret because of evildoers; don’t envy the wicked. 20 For evil people have no future; the light of the wicked will be snuffed out. 21 My child, fear the LORD and the king. Don’t associate with rebels, 22 for disaster will hit them suddenly. Who knows what punishment will come from the LORD and the king?

FEAR

Fear the Lord and serve Him.  Life is short.  Time is fleeting.  You do not know the day of your death.  Serve God and believe in Him and He will change your life so that you can always be with Him.  Jesus is Lord. 

01/09          Proverbs 23:17-18

17 Don’t envy sinners, but always continue to fear the LORD. 18 You will be rewarded for this; your hope will not be disappointed.

SINNERS

Sinners appear to have the upper hand with God but there is pay day some day and tragically it will be much sooner than a person thinks.  Life is short.  Death is permanent.  Turn to Jesus and ask Him to forgive you of your sin.  Trust in Jesus and your life will change forever. 

01/08          Psalm 102:19

18 Let this be recorded for future generations, so that a people not yet born will praise the LORD . 19 Tell them the LORD looked down from his heavenly sanctuary. He looked down to earth from heaven 20 to hear the groans of the prisoners, to release those condemned to die.

JESUS

Jesus came as a little baby at the mercy of the world.  He lived a perfect life, and walked willingly to the Cross and died for us.  The power of God raised Jesus from the dead.  God lived among us.  Jesus has gifted us with the gift of forgiveness and eternal life. 

01/07          Psalm 37:37

37 Look at those who are honest and good, for a wonderful future awaits those who love peace.

PEACE

We love law and order, harmony and living without chaos.  Peace encompasses all of this and even more for in Jesus we have peace with God and that is the cessation of war with Him.  We love Jesus and have trusted Him with our life and have peace with God.  We are no longer at war with Him and His lovingkindness is ours all day every day.  We love peace. 

01/06          Psalm 22:30-31

30 Our children will also serve him. Future generations will hear about the wonders of the Lord. 31 His righteous acts will be told to those not yet born. They will hear about everything he has done.

SERVE

If we serve the Lord faithfully and proclaim His goodness to our children and all we meet they too will know the Lord and future generations will know Him.  Do not forget to tell others about Jesus so that everyone may hear. 

01/05          Job 8:7-9

8 “Just ask the previous generation. Pay attention to the experience of our ancestors. 9 For we were born but yesterday and know nothing. Our days on earth are as fleeting as a shadow.

SHORT

Our time on Earth is short and we want to live a life of glory to God.  The Lord is good to us.  Every thought that the Lord has towards you is a thought for good.  Jesus loves you.
