10/9 Psalm 14:2-3
The LORD looks down from heaven on the entire human race; he looks to see if there is even one with real understanding, one who seeks for God. But no, all have turned away from God; all have become corrupt. No one does good, not even one!
GOOD
Do you want to do good? Surrender you life to Jesus Christ. God is good. When we come to Christ we become part of the family of God and take on the righteousness of Christ. God is our father and we are His children therefore we have inherited good as a part of our character.
10/8 Psalm 14:1
For the choir director: A psalm of David. Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; no one does good!
SIN
No one does good. All of us depend on the goodness of God for our life. He provides life for us in Jesus Christ. Christ died for our sin and gives us righteousness. He is alive. We worship a risen Savior. Jesus is Lord and He provides life and light for us. Without Jesus we do not have life. Thank God for Jesus Christ.
10/7 Psalm 13:5
But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me. I will sing to the LORD because he has been so good to me.
LOVE
God loves you. He loves you with full knowledge of who you are and what you have done and are doing. Jesus knows you better than you know yourself. Rejoice for the Lord is good to you. Remember the times He cared for you. Be thankful and feel His presence.
10/6 Psalm 13:3-4
Turn and answer me, O LORD my God! Restore the light to my eyes, or I will die. Don’t let my enemies gloat, saying, “We have defeated him!” Don’t let them rejoice at my downfall.
DISCOURAGEMENT
Discouragement is a real enemy. Do not underestimate its ability to overwhelm you. Life is sometimes confusing and difficult but the Lord will not desert you. Hang on and let the Lord redeem your situation. Jesus is Lord.
10/5 Psalm 13:1-2
For the choir director: A psalm of David. O LORD, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the other way? How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul, with sorrow in my heart every day? How long will my enemy have the upper hand?
DISCOURAGEMENT
Discouragement is a hard enemy to overcome. At one time or another all of us will have to face it. When you do immediately call on Jesus. You cannot fight it alone. Discouragement will take you down and trounce you. Ask the Lord to intervene. Tell Him how much you are hurting. Jesus is with you.
10/4 Colossians 3:24-25
Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and the Master you are serving is Christ. But if you do what is wrong, you will be paid back for the wrong you have done. For God has no favorites who can get away with evil.
HEAR
Hear what the Lord is saying. We belong to Jesus but we are to be careful how we live. God doesn’t play favorites, each one of us is special to Him. You are favored of God but never overlooked.
10/3 Colossians 3:23
Work hard and cheerfully at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
AWARE
We need to be aware of our situation. The Lord is with us and we are never alone. Remember. Be strong. Live life fully.
10/2 Colossians 3:18-22
You wives must submit to your husbands, as is fitting for those who belong to the Lord. And you husbands must love your wives and never treat them harshly. You children must always obey your parents, for this is what pleases the Lord. Fathers, don’t aggravate your children. If you do, they will become discouraged and quit trying. You slaves must obey your earthly masters in everything you do. Try to please them all the time, not just when they are watching you. Obey them willingly because of your reverent fear of the Lord.
JESUS
Commit everything in your life to Jesus. Treat others as you want to be treated. The Lord is for you therefore who can stand against you? In good times and bad the Lord loves you.
10/1 Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do or say, let it be as a representative of the Lord Jesus, all the while giving thanks through him to God the Father.
IMPORTANT
It is important for you to remember today that you belong to Jesus. You are not alone. You represent the Lord. He hears you and will answer you. The Lord is intimately involved in your life. Open up to Jesus. He will walk with you.
9/30 Colossians 3:16
Let the words of Christ, in all their richness, live in your hearts and make you wise. Use his words to teach and counsel each other. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.
LIVE
We are to live in the power of Christ. When we focus our minds and hearts on Him we experience His presence and power. Gratitude is the attitude of a heart focused on Jesus. Thank you Lord.
