Exodus 15:11-13

Exodus 15:11-13 (KJV)
11 Who is like unto thee, O Lord , among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.

Romans 14:5,6

Romans 14:5,6 (KJV)
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike . Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it . He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

Today’s Prayer (12/25/2018)

Oh Lord, You are so good to me and to all people. For Your humble birth has changed everything. We were lost but You have come to save us all from our sins. We did not have a way home, but You prepared it for us. We needed someone to step in and save us and You did so with no hesitation. You surely are our Savior and King. I am touched by everything You have done for me. Your birth has given me high hopes on life. Your death on the cross, has given me mercy that I don’t deserve. Your resurrection has given me new life. I am made new because of Your great love for me. Your sacrifice for mankind is deserving of all our praise. I pray that everyone will think of what You’ve done and honor You. May they give their ear to Your Holy Words in the Bible and pray more earnestly. Where else can we go for wisdom and knowledge. You are the bread of life and we ought to come to You for the nourishment and guidance that we need. Without You there is only darkness, therefore, come and shine brightly before us. Have Your way within us that all may see. Give us courage to share Your gospel with everyone. Fill us with boldness and a desire to be used in Your kingdom. I am honored and blessed to go out into Your harvest and share Your great love with the world. You are the reason why I live and for this, I will do all things for You, Jesus. I am Yours. My hope is in You. I love You. Amen.

Tell Everyone About Jesus

So let me ask you a question. Have you responded to the gospel in a way that you want everyone to know about Jesus and be saved?

Luke 2:17,18

Luke 2:17,18 (KJV)
17 And when they had seen it , they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

Matthew 22:35-40

Matthew 22:35-40 (KJV)
35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

John 14:21

John 14:21 (KJV)
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

Today’s Prayer (12/24/2018)

Lord God, I pray that people will remember You always. May this time of year not just be their excuse to go to church and read the story of your birth but may every person that says they believe also live out their faith throughout the year. It isn’t enough for them to showcase their faith at times and live for the world other times. I know that when I was living like this, I was never happy. There was addiction in my life and I could not deflect the temptations of the Devil. I felt very shameful and wretched. Especially when I thought of how You must have thought of me, I felt so down and depressed. If I just knew that You were reaching for me, all the day long, things would have been better. However, I chose to live this way for many years on my own and times were very rough. My decisions left my wife and everyone hanging in the back drops. My marriage almost crumbled before me, until You, God, came to my rescue. In my weakest moments I came to You and You brought me peace. You took me in and brought me the greatest comfort of all. I had no way to change my life on my own but You were able to break those chains and all the bondage is gone. I am free because of Your great love for me. Thank You for Your mercy and grace. I am so grateful for Your forgiveness. My hope is in You. I live my life for You, Jesus. Have Your way with me. I love You. Amen.

Always Remember Jesus

Every person that walks apart from God will be in trouble come judgement day. They will hear the words, “I never knew you”.

John 1:1-3

John 1:1-3 (KJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Today’s Prayer (12/23/2018)

Oh Lord, I am so amazed at what I have learned from Your Words. The Bible has truly transformed my life. It is a lamp unto my feet and has the map for my life. I know that through its words that You are our Creator. Yes, Jesus, I know that all things were created by You. You are our mighty God, Creator and Father. All power and glory is in Your Name. I am so grateful to know You and to have You in my life. I receive You, God, with all my heart and soul. There is light that my life needs and that light only resides in You. I can find things that fulfill the lusts of the flesh but I always come out of it empty. Shame fills my life and I am broken inside. It is when I pray and come to You in repentance that Your light comes back into my life and all the darkness is scattered. I know that my life is made full with You in it. I am reborn through Your almighty power. This is the life I need and therefore, I trust in You always. My flesh is weak while on my own but with You in it, I am strong. Your righteousness consumes me and I am built up to fight against every sin and temptation. You are my rock and my shield. Therefore, I will stand tall in Christ the Lord. I love You God. Amen.

James 4:14

James 4:14 (KJV)
14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
