Good Morning and Happy Friday Friends!

Today’s Bible verse is:
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation. ... "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me."
—Revelation 3:14, 20

Commentary from verseoftheday website:
It has always fascinated me that this verse is often cited by those calling others to conversion when it is written to a lukewarm church and her members. These disciples, like many of us, need to rekindle their love-relationship with the Lord and demonstrate it by living passionately for Jesus. Along with those believers centuries ago, we need to ask the Lord Jesus into our hearts, lives, and churches today. It's not that he's not there; it's just that he awaits our invitation to enter and take the lead. He will not barge in and dominate, but enters when we invite him into our lives and welcome him to take control. So, dear friend in Jesus, the Lord inhabits hearts into which he has been invited, so let's open the door and invite him into our hearts and lives!

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Pray with me:
Holy Lord and Savior, I know you long to share your presence and fellowship with me. I know you are nearby (Philippians 4:5), as I draw each breath. But I confess that I am often unaware, and sometimes even unappreciative, of your presence. I ask you this day to come into my heart and fill my life with your presence, comfort, guidance, holiness, and power. I want my life to be lived for you and with you. Thank you for providing Jesus as my Lord and Savior. In his name, I offer my thanks and praise. Amen.

Good Morning and Happy Thursday Friends!

Today’s Bible verse is:
We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
—Ephesians 2:10

Commentary from verseoftheday website:
The Psalmist reminded us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, and that God created us with something definite planned for us to do with our lives (Psalm 139:13-15). We display his craftsmanship, his artistry, his skill when we intentionally live for him and not like the rest of the world. Paul deepens this truth in our verse today as he writes about being saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-10). We have been recreated in Christ Jesus to continue the good work of Jesus as we become more and more JESUShaped (Colossians 1:28-29) and as the Holy Spirit continues God's transformative work in us, making us more and more like Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18). So, let's get about doing the work of Christ the Father created us to do!

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Pray with me:
Master, Father, and Lord, please teach me to recognize your opportunities and your will when they come into my life. I want to live for you without reservation, doing the good work you created me to do. I pray for boldness to not be shy in sharing my faith. I pray for patience as I wait before I respond. I pray for your protection for those close to coming to Christ. I pray not for me but for your Kingdom to be displayed in my life by the way I live and the good things I do to your glory. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Good Morning and Happy Wednesday Friends!

Today’s Bible verse is:
We are God's temple! God lives in us! We are a holy dwelling of the living and almighty God! WOW!
We were made Holy by the price Jesus paid to redeem us (1 Peter 1:18-20). So, now what we do in our bodies is part of the worship we give to God just as much as what we do when we get together with other Christians in worship (Romans 12:1-2). We are called to not only abstain from impurity, but we are called to glorify God in our bodies and honor the sacrifice of Jesus by living holy lives each day. This is worship because we are where God lives through his Spirit. Holy living is not a burden, but a way to say "Thank you!" and offer praise to God for what he has done for us and what he has made in us! We are the temple of God in the Holy Spirit!

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Pray with me:
Father, I confess to you that I sometimes lose sight of how precious my body is to you and how important what I do with my body is in giving you thanks and praise. With physical temptations so near, I easily forget that it is a holy temple, a place of honor and worship that I offer to you. With aging and the other challenges that daily remind me that my body is a vessel of decay (2 Corinthians 4:16-18), I find it hard to believe that I can glorify you with it. Please, through your indwelling Spirit, quicken me to a deeper reverence and appreciation for your presence in me as you renew my body, your temple, day by day. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday Friends!

Today’s Bible verse is:
I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches.
—Psalm 119:14

Commentary from verseoftheday website:
Our treasure and our truth come from God's holy Scriptures. The Scriptures are God's guidance for us and his treasures, given to us as the Holy Spirit leads us to understand and apply them as we reach to become more like Jesus (1 Corinthians 2:10-12). They teach us how to avoid the evil one's harmful traps and to live God's blessed life (2 Timothy 3:14-17). Rather than seeing God's Scriptures as limiting us in this life, we need to see them as a gift of love to bless us, to prevent us from falling into the traps of this life, and to lead us into life forever with God. We can come to value them more highly than riches, for in them we will find our great reward, both in this life and the life to come (Psalm 19:11).

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Pray with me:
Holy God, thank you for your written Word, the Scriptures, and your "living" Word (Hebrews 4:12), also the Scriptures when used by the Holy Spirit. May your truth come alive in my life just as it does in my heart and mind. In the name of your Son Jesus, your living Word who fulfilled the Scriptures, I pray. Amen.

Good Morning and Happy Monday Friends!

Today’s Bible verse is:
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
—Psalm 46:1

Commentary from verseoftheday website:
Where can we go when it seems as if all our walls have fallen, all the protection we have has vanished, and our hearts feel as if all hope is lost? We can go to the eternal God, who is also our Abba Father (Romans 8:15-17). He preserved ancient Israel miraculously through their most difficult times in their history, protected the Scriptures from hordes of those who tried to eradicate them, and has led his Church victoriously through all her troubles, trials, and triumphs throughout the centuries. He will do the same with us until he brings us home to himself. For "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble."

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Pray with me:
My Rock, My Hope and My Protector, I thank you for preserving my life. I thank you for hearing my cries for help and healing. I thank you for guiding my feet into ways that have been a blessing. Please, O God, stay close by as I face the stresses and challenges in my life. Through your Holy Spirit, enable me to grow and be an example to others as I pass through life's storms. In the name of Jesus, my Savior and Lord, I ask for your presence and blessing. Amen.

Good Morning and Blessings to you this Sunday Morning Friends!

Today’s Bible verse is:
Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
—Luke 12:6-7

Commentary from verseoftheday website:
In a universe so vast, what is our little planet? On a planet so diverse and so full of life, what are simple, ordinary, and everyday people? Among all the billions of people alive and all those who have lived before us, what significance do I have among so many others?
Jesus reminds us that our significance is great—not because we are so important, but because we are known personally by God, who created us, has known us, and has had a purpose for us from the time of our conception (Psalm 139:13-16). We don't have to be afraid; we are known and loved by the One who is and who was and who is to come! As born-of-God believers, we are God’s precious children (John 1:11-13, 3:3-7). He will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5-6; Romans 8:38-39).

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Pray with me:
Eternal God, Almighty Father, Tender Shepherd, and Abba Father, you already know my heart. You know where I struggle with sin. You know my struggles in life. You know my fears; please encourage and strengthen me. You know my immaturity; please nurture and mature me. You know my weakness and disease, please comfort and heal me. You also know my strengths, gifts, passions, and value. So, dear Father, please empower me, forgive me, and complete your transformation in me through the blessed Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:18). Holy God, I am both awed and comforted that you know me and love me. Thank you! In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Good Morning and Happy Saturday Friends!

Today’s Bible verse is:
The Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is he who will save us.
—Isaiah 33:22

Commentary from verseoftheday website:
When we think about God as our Judge, we normally think of falling under judgment and receiving punishment. Isaiah reminds us that God's being our Judge means he will judge us according to his will, rule, and grace. He is on our side and is looking to save us, not condemn us (John 3:16-17). His commands are rightfully given as our Creator and King, yet given to us to protect us and bless us. Using the New Testament idiom, when we stand before our Judge, we see our loving Father, and at his right hand is our Savior, who gave his life for us (Hebrews 1:3). As Paul so beautifully told us:

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back in fear, but you received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, "Abba! Father!" it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God (Romans 8:14-16).

We don't obey out of fear, we don't fear the judge, but we obey because of loving appreciation for all that our Father has done to save us!

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Pray with me:
Holy and Righteous Judge, I am glad that my fate, my future, and my life are in your hands. I know about your love for me because of the gift of Jesus. I know about your desire to save me because of your loving grace. I know your demand for holiness in me is met by the sacrifice of your Son. So God, I gladly and willingly trust my life, my soul, and my eternal future to you. I offer you my obedience in humble appreciation for all you have done for me. In Jesus' name, I thank you. Amen.

Good Morning and Happy Thursday Friends!

Today’s Bible verse is:
All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal.
—Psalm 119:160

Commentary from verseoftheday website:
The requirements of morality and holiness are not temporary or fleeting because they reflect the nature of our Holy God, who is eternal. They don't shift with the wishes of culture or the trends proposed by the so-called enlightened. God's truth is true across cultures, times, and wishes. We do not adapt God's will to our times, but we redeem our times by adapting our wills to his truth.

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Pray with me:
Righteous God Almighty, may my life reflect your righteous character, gracious compassion, and faithful love and justice. You, your nature, and your values are forever, and I want to invest my life in what endures and is eternal. Please give me wisdom to see through the fleeting temptations of today, the fads of culture, and the degradations of morality, as I seek to do what honors you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Good Morning and Happy Wednesday Friends!

Today’s Bible verse is:
The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.
—Psalm 119:130

Commentary from verseoftheday website:
Years ago, before GPS, driving to a distant place required a map, and sometimes several maps. As you journeyed to that place, the route became increasingly more straightforward as you unfolded the map and found your destination. Sometimes the right path is not so difficult to find; we need to know where to begin our search. We need to unfold our map by reading God's words. As we unfold them, the way we should travel in life becomes increasingly clearer. The right way is very seldom just the property of the bright, wise, and scholarly; it can be very clear for any of us who choose to look for it in God's words, and then unfold them so God can get us to his destination for us.

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Pray with me:
O holy Father, thank you for making your will known through your words in Scripture. Bless me as I open your Word, as I listen to your words, and as I focus on your will. I ask that the Holy Spirit guide me in understanding those words and that the Spirit lead me as I seek to live your will. May I find not only the answer to my questions, but also find you and your precious will as I unfold your words. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
