01/31               John 3:16

16 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 

GIVE

We are created to be givers.  We are equipped to give and give and give and yet our hearts in their darkness only want to get, get, get.  Try to be a great giver.  Let the Lord know of your willingness to give all of yourself and all of your stuff and He will use you up. 

01/30               Jeremiah 29:11

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. 

SEE

We cannot see the future.  We do not know what will happen at such and such a time.  Jesus does.  He knows every plan for you and they are each and in total good plans for you.  Trust in the Lord.  Follow Him and He will take you in the right direction.  The Lord is committed to you.  He created you with great and worth.  Turn to Him and He will show you great and mighty things that you know not. 

01/29               Matthew 28:20

20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

ALWAYS

Jesus is always with us.  He is with you.  This moment. Every moment.  He knows all about and still declares His great love for you. Trust in the Lord.  Lean upon Him and He will see you through whatever difficulty you face.  

01/28               Isaiah 41:10

10 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. 

FEAR

Fear is the enemy’s weapon.  It challenges our faith in the presence and love of the Lord.  Jesus is Lord and He will never leave us of this we can be sure. Trust in the Lord and He will save you from your fear.  He loves you. He will never leave you.  Trust in the Lord. 

01/27               Genesis 28:15

15 What’s more, I am with you, and I will protect you wherever you go. One day I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have finished giving you everything I have promised you.” 

FULL

The Lord will fill us up to full if we will spend the time with Him that lets Him teach us to persevere in the face of obstacles and challenges.  The World, our flesh and the Devil are seeking to overthrow us.  Lord keep us safe and make me able to stand in the face of attack.  I need you Lord.  Thank you. 

01/26               1 Kings 8:57

57 May the LORD our God be with us as he was with our ancestors; may he never leave us or abandon us.

NEVER

Oh Lord, please never leave me.  Stand with me and claim my attention.  I want to know you and know you better every day Lord.  Please, help me to invest the time and focus that will equip me to change and become more like you day by day. 

01/25               Psalm 94:14

14 The LORD will not reject his people; he will not abandon his special possession.

OWNED

We are owned by the Lord.  We belong to Him body and soul.  He is with us.  He loves us. He will lead, guide and direct us every day.  Walk with Him.  Let Him have your attention.  Jesus is Lord. 

01/24               1 Chronicles 28:20

20 Then David continued, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. He will see to it that all the work related to the Temple of the LORD is finished correctly. 

ALWAYS

The Lord always sees us through until we stand before Him in glory.  Learn to listen to the Lord.  Let Him lift up your spirits.  Let Jesus fill your mind and heart with His love and presence.  We need Him every hour of every day.  He will not neglect us or forget us.  He is not like us for He is God.  Serve the Lord and let Him have control of you.

01/23               Hebrews 13:8

8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 

NO CHANGE

We change every hour, every day and respond to things in differing ways.  We are not like Jesus.  He is always the same.  He loves us and always responds to us with love. 

01/22               Joshua 1:9

9 This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

PRESENCE

We are in the presence of the Lord always.  When things are difficult, stop, sit, pray in your heart and mind and the presence of the Living Lord will fill you with strength and courage.  It takes real courage to fight discouragement.  Be about the business of a Christian Life knowing that the Lord is with you.
