JANUARY 2 – YOU

1/2 Ephesians 4:22-24
You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self,
which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the
attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in
true righteousness and holiness.
YOU
Put off sin. Change your ways. Jesus will give you the strength you need but you must do it.

JANUARY 1- WE

1/1. 2 Corinthians 5:16-21
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once
regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 herefore, if anyone is in
Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 18 All this is
from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry
of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not
counting men’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of
reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were
making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled
to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we
might become the righteousness of God.
WE
We are included in the family of God by work that Jesus did on the Cross. We have forgiveness and presence. Jesus loves you.

DECEMBER 31 – HOLY SPIRIT

12/31 Ezekiel 11:19-20
19 I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. 20 Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
HOLY SPIRIT
We are filled with the Holy Spirit. We walk in the Spirit. We live in Jesus. Praise the Lord for He is our life. Jesus is Lord.

DECEMBER 30 – LOVE

12/30 Deuteronomy 7:11-13
11 Therefore, take care to follow the commands, decrees and laws I give you today. 12 If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the LORD your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your forefathers. 13 He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land–your grain, new wine and oil–the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land that he swore to your forefathers to give you.
LOVE
Jesus loves you. He brought us love from the Father. He gives us His love and enables us to love. Jesus loves you.

DECEMBER 29 – PRAISE

12/29 Psalm 98:1-9
Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. 2 The LORD has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations. 3 He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. 4 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music; 5 make music to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, 6 with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn– shout for joy before the LORD, the King. 7 Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it. 8 Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy; 9 let them sing before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity.
PRAISE
Praise the Lord for all things and in all things. Jesus is Lord and He is our Lord. Praise the Lord. Jesus is Lord.

DECEMBER 28 – LORD

12/28 Luke 1:67-79
67 Then his father, Zechariah, was filled with the Holy Spirit and gave this prophecy: 68 “Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has visited his people and redeemed them. 69 He has sent us a mighty Savior from the royal line of his servant David, 70 just as he promised through his holy prophets long ago. 71 Now we will be saved from our enemies and from all who hate us. 72 He has been merciful to our ancestors by remembering his sacred covenant with them, 73 the covenant he gave to our ancestor Abraham. 74 We have been rescued from our enemies, so we can serve God without fear, 75 in holiness and righteousness forever. 76 “And you, my little son, will be called the prophet of the Most High, because you will prepare the way for the Lord. 77 You will tell his people how to find salvation through forgiveness of their sins. 78 Because of God’s tender mercy, the light from heaven is about to break upon us, 79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide us to the path of peace.”
LORD
Jesus is the Lord. He has come to give us a relationship with the Lord God Almighty. He is Lord.

DECEMBER 27 – PROMISE

12/27 Luke 1:46-55
46 Mary responded, “Oh, how I praise the Lord. 47 How I rejoice in God my Savior! 48 For he took notice of his lowly servant girl, and now generation after generation will call me blessed. 49 For he, the Mighty One, is holy, and he has done great things for me. 50 His mercy goes on from generation to generation, to all who fear him. 51 His mighty arm does tremendous things! How he scatters the proud and haughty ones! 52 He has taken princes from their thrones and exalted the lowly. 53 He has satisfied the hungry with good things and sent the rich away with empty hands. 54 And how he has helped his servant Israel! He has not forgotten his promise to be merciful. 55 For he promised our ancestors — Abraham and his children — to be merciful to them forever.”
PROMISE
Jesus came to save us from our sin. He is merciful and loving. He is Lord.
