10/26 ISAIAH 32:7
7 The smooth tricks of scoundrels are evil. They plot crooked schemes. They lie to convict the poor, even when the cause of the poor is just.
WATCH
People act out their evil in their everyday life. When the poor are mistreated the Lord takes offense. People count. Care about everyone you come into contact with and be sure to show them respect. People count.
10/25 HEBREWS 13:6
6 So we can say with confidence, “The LORD is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?”
LIFE
Life is challenging and at times terrifying. When life throws you its worst, trust in the Lord and He will give you the courage and relationship you need to overcome. You count with Jesus. You are important to Him not because of what you can do for Him but in fact because He made you and loves you.
10/24 HEBREWS 4:16
16 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.
WHEN
When we need help from the Lord, we need it. He promises us that His help will be available. Amazingly if we spend more time with Him, we will discover that our desperate situations will decrease exponentially. The Lord is waiting to hear from you.
10/23 EPHESIANS 3:12
12 Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.
PROMISE
The Lord promises us access. We can go to Him and know that He hears us, and will respond to us. He loves our prayers. He looks forward to spending time with us. He loves you and me. Each morning I literally run to be in the presence of the Lord. Praise God for all of His blessings.
10/22 2 TIMOTHY 1:7
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
CLAIM
Claim your life from Jesus. It is waiting on you. Lord forgive me and come into my heart. Your journey as a child of God begins.
10/21 2 CORINTHIANS 12:9
9 Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
STRENGTH
Trust Jesus-that is real strength. Do not go your own way. Submit yourself under the hand of the Lord and He will direct your path. Our weakness harnessed under Jesus is our strength.
10/20 2 CHRONICLES 32:8
8 He may have a great army, but they are merely men. We have the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles for us!” Hezekiah’s words greatly encouraged the people.
MIGHTY
Mighty God, loving Father, He is greater than anything and all things. He is able with a Word to conquer the enemy. He is able with a word to heal our hurts and pains. Our God is greater.
10/19 PSALM 139:13-14
13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
AMAZING
We are amazing. Each one of us. No two alike. All of us under the mighty hand of our wonderful Father God. Praise His name.
10/18 HEBREWS 10:35-36
35 So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! 36 Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.
ENDURANCE
We can last. We can overcome outrageous obstacles if we will live in the moment, deal with what we face, not take council of our fears and keep moving forward.
10/17 ROMANS 12:12
12 Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.
TRUST
Trust in the Lord. Develop a patient heart. Pray, pray and pray-all the time. In all things give thanks and pray.
