Hope in the Lord will renew your strength.
Jul 30th
WE WAIT IN HOPE FOR THE LORD; HE IS OUR HELP AND OUR SHIELD. PSALM 33:20 *NIV
When nothing seems to be going right in your life, don’t despair, pray and ask for God’s help, and then WAIT FOR THE LORD; BE STRONG AND TAKE HEART AND WAIT FOR THE LORD. PSALM 27:14 For, THOSE WHO HOPE IN THE LORD WILL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH. THEY WILL SOAR ON WINGS LIKE EAGLES; THEY WILL RUN AND NOT GROW WEARY, THEY WILL WALK AND NOT BE FAINT. ISAIAH 40:31
After all, THE LORD IS GOOD TO THOSE WHOSE HOPE IS IN HIM, TO THE ONE WHO SEEKS HIM. LAMENTATIONS 3:25 For God has said: “THEN YOU WILL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD; THOSE WHO HOPE IN ME WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.” ISAIAH 49:23
Therefore don’t let disappointments cause you to give up, instead always HOLD UNANSWERINGLY TO THE HOPE WE PROFESS, FOR HE WHO PROMISED IS FAITHFUL. Faithful Indeed! HEBREWS 10:23
Now, have a Wonderful Day, and may the peace of God Almighty be with you. Amen.
Do your best to live by God’s commandments
Jul 29th
WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM, FOR HE WHO COMES TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, AND THAT HE IS A REWARDER OF THOSE WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM. HEBREWS 11:6 *NKJV
God rewards us with blessings that continue to please us, so we should do our best to please God as well! After all then, “BLESSED YOU SHALL BE IN THE CITY, AND BLESSED YOU SHALL BE IN THE COUNTRY.” DEUTERONOMY 28:3
Now we can do that by obeying His Commandments and by loving our neighbor’s as ourselves. For Jesus Christ said, “YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND. THIS IS THE FIRST AND GREAT COMMANDMENT. AND THE SECOND IS LIKE IT: YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. ON THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS HANG ALL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS.” MATTHEW 22:39-40
So, do your best to live by God’s Commandments, and share your love with others so; THAT YOU MAY WALK WORTHY OF THE LORD, FULLY PLEASING HIM, BEING FRUITFUL IN EVERY GOOD WORK AND INCREASING IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD. For when you do, His blessings will flow abundantly to you! After all it is written that WHEN A MAN’S WAYS PLEASE THE LORD, HE MAKES EVEN HIS ENEMIES TO BE A PEACE WITH HIM. Amen. COLOSSIANS 1:10 & PROVERBS 16:7
Have a wonderful day.
An Act of Obedience
Forgive one another.
Jul 27th
HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES; THE CHASTISEMENT FOR OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM, AND BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED. ISAIAH 53:5 *NKJV
Indeed we are healed of our transgressions, and iniquities through the forgiveness of our sins. For it is written; HE HAS DELIVERED US FROM THE POWER OF DARKNESS AND CONVEYED US INTO THE KINGDOM OF THE SON OF HIS LOVE, IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. COLOSSIANS 1:13-14
When we think about how much forgiveness God shows oward mankind, let us remember the words of our Savior Jesus Christ, as he hung on the cross, “FATHER, FORGIVE THEM, FOR THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY DO.” So let those words be an example for you when you find yourself angry with another! LUKE 23:34
After all it is also written: IF YOU FORGIVE MEN THEIR TRESPASSES, YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER WILL ALSO FORGIVE YOU. BUT IF YOU DO NOT FORGIVE MEN THEIR TRESPASSES, NEITHER WILL YOUR FATHER FORGIVE YOUR TRESPASSES. MATTHEW 6:14-15
So, if you have been angered by another, why not try to forgive them instead of holding a grudge. After all your heart and mind will be at peace when you do! Amen.
Have a wonderful day.
