02/09               Romans 8:28

28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. 

HANDS

We are in the hands of the Father.  We do not twist and turn on the issue of what we do determining our salvation.  We have confessed Jesus as Lord and proclaimed our surrender to Him.  He does it all.  It is by His grace, not our works, that we are saved.  We are in His sure and unyielding hands forever.

02/08               Revelation 3:5

5 All who are victorious will be clothed in white. I will never erase their names from the Book of Life, but I will announce before my Father and his angels that they are mine. 

BELONG

We belong.  We belong to Jesus.  We belong in God’s family.  We belong in spite of what we do because we belong.  Why do we belong?  Because we have confessed Jesus to be God.  He died on the cross and on the third day was resurrected from the dead.  Today He is seated at the Right hand of the Father.  We belong because of Jesus.  He is Lord. 

02/07               Proverbs 22:6

6 Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it. 

GUIDANCE

We are responsible for the Guidance of our children.  Children are a gift from God to us.  We are His representative to build their lives as they grow up with us.  Raise up a child in the way he or she should go and they will not depart from it.   Great thought.  A wonderful challenge for us as parents.  Praise God for His wisdom and mercy.  Help us to raise our children.

02/06               Proverbs 13:11

 11 Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time. 

TRUTH

Lord thank you for your eternal truth.  Your Word speaks to my soul.  I am mindful of your wisdom and pray for wisdom each day.  Praise the Lord.

02/05               Psalm 86:5

5 O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help. 

THANK YOU

Your forgiveness is overwhelming.  I am so grateful.  I am so needy.  Thank you Lord for your wondrous grace and amazing forgiveness.

02/03               Psalm 37:4

02/01               Psalm 27:1

1 The LORD is my light and my salvation— so why should I be afraid? The LORD is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble? 

STRENGTH

We have the promise of Lord’s strength therefore we can stand in the face of outrageous obstacles and imminent danger.   

01/31               Psalm 23:4

4 Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. 

HELD

He holds us in the palm of His hand.  He never lets go of us.  Sometimes He pulls us back from the brink of danger by the crook of His staff.  Sometimes His rod disciplines us so that we will wake up and not waddle into evil.  Lord forgive us of our sin and keep us on the straight and narrow.
