Today's Good News

JANUARY 12 – DEATH

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.

 

JANUARY 11 – NOTHING

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. 

 

 

JANUARY 10 – FEAR

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. 

JANUARY 9 – SINNERS

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. 

 

 

JANUARY 8 – JESUS

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. 

 

 

JANUARY 7 – PEACE

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. 

 

 

JANUARY 6 – SERVE

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. 

 

 

JANUARY 5 – SHORT

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. 

 

 

JANUARY 4 – LORD

01/04          1 Chronicles 17:17-20

17 And now, O God, in addition to everything else, you speak of giving your servant a lasting dynasty! You speak as though I were someone very great, O LORD God! 18 “What more can I say to you about the way you have honored me? You know what your servant is really like. 19 For the sake of your servant, O LORD, and according to your will, you have done all these great things and have made them known. 20 “O LORD, there is no one like you. We have never even heard of another God like you!

LORD

No one is like the Lord.  No other god is like our God.  He is Creator, Sustainer, Enabler, Equipper, Protector, and our Father.  There is nothing else like our Lord Jesus.  Praise the Lord for His love for us.  Praise the Lord for being here with us.  We are never alone for the Lord God Almighty is our blessed Father. 

 

 

JANUARY 3 – FORGIVEN

19 And now, Sovereign LORD, in addition to everything else, you speak of giving your servant a lasting dynasty! Do you deal with everyone this way, O Sovereign LORD? 20 “What more can I say to you? You know what your servant is really like, Sovereign LORD.

FORGIVEN

We are alive in Christ, His death on the Cross paid the price for our sin and we walk in His power as His children forgiven and righteous by His power.  Lord we are in awe that you love us.  We are grateful beyond our ability to communicate but we do Lord tell everyone what you have done for us.  Thank you Lord.
