Distortion

Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’? When allowed to, the enemy places doubt in our minds on Gods promises. Today I pray for

Son of God

Colossians 1:17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together If everything around you seems to be falling apart, bring your life to the one that can keep it together! Today I pray for peace in your chaos. In Jesus name I pray, Amen!

Difference

Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus In life we face opposition. At times we create this resistance by looking at what makes us different. Today I pray for unity, regardless of what you may think

The day

Today could’ve been filled with peace or problems. The difference is in where we put our trust. I pray today for your confidence in Christ! In Jesus name I pray, Amen!

Tolerance

Romans 8:8 Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak You may have a strong tolerance to something that doesn’t affect you the same way it does someone around you. Today, I pray for a mindset that Jesus has shown us. To be selfless and

Find peace

Psalms 119:165 Great peace have those who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble Today I pray for internal peace. Without it, there’s no way to bring peace to those around us. This is a call for setting aside things that don’t matter. In Jesus name I pray, Amen!

Reasons

ReasonsPsalm 116:1 I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy Today you might be angry because you dont understand something that’s happened. Today I choose to be grateful! I have my reasons but what are yours? In this moment I can name so many things that are not

Priority

2 Corinthians 5:18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation As a believer in Christ, we have one priority; reconcile those who are not yet saved to God! Where we are taken in our journey, God will provide. I pray for your purpose

Rain

Hebrews 6:7 Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God.” When it rains we have options. We can let the rain affect our day or prepare, adapt and make the best of it. When it

Running

Isaiah 40:31 but 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 My God, I pray for those who are running from Your presence. In all of your glory, mercy, love and forgiveness

Omniscience

Psalm 16:8 I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken God is with you but where are you? Today I pray for your well-being. May you be led by Gods voice for guidance and protection. The light is present and will not accommodate your

Hope

Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit I pray today for your hope to come from God. When hope comes from ourselves, it isn’t certain. Our thoughts and actions

Bondage

1 John 2:11 But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them Walking with the lights off is hard. Some can do it with ease but this doesn’t mean it’s normal. Walking

Confirm your calling

2 Peter 1:4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire God has a plan and we get to take part in it by

Daily

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power Our strength needs to be renewed everyday. God designed us to be dependent on Him! We can’t win a war that rages daily with an old armor. Today I pray for your strength to be renewed. In Jesus name I pray, Amen!

Together

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin Walking in truth, by the word of God, brings us where we need to be. On this journey, we’ll recognize those

Good works

Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do God has a plan of so many things in our lives. When He prepares us, we can’t reach the next step if we can’t move past where we are. Today I

Goodness of God

Psalm 34:8 Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him We can see Gods faithfulness in everything around us. As a loving Father, God prepares for what we need I’m life whether it’s strength, comfort, guidance or company. The goodness of His love is clear once

Surrounding

Proverbs 27:5-6 Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses Put yourself in an environment of truth. Be guided by God today in who is around you. Rebuke is expressed out of compassion and concern. A place of love. An enemy will tell you

When life happens

Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea This Psalm describes calamity, but in the midst Gods protects and sustains us. There is no limit on time we spend in

Worth

Luke 12:6-7 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 Glory to God! Today is a reminder, God loves you. Life has ups and downs. On

Self control

James 4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up Humility takes commitment in denying self, discipline to resist, obedience to do what’s right and faith that Gods plan for you life is in His hands! I pray for obedience today. In Jesus name I pray, Amen!

Choice

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. God wants you resist your temptation so

Pure

Matthew 5:13 You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. Salt preserves and gives flavor. We are called to preserve the give flavor to the world, keep

Despair

Jeremiah 33:3 ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’ If you’re in a place of stress, fear or anxiety, God wants to relieve you of it. Call to Him and your joy will be restored! Go to a place where you can pray,

Posture

1 John 3:21 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God Placing our hearts in the right place means being ready for the blessings we ask God for. Imagine asking for something in Gods will, but when it’s placed in front of us, it’s not recognized! Today I pray

Our place

Psalm 119:114 “You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word.” We hide when we’re scared or looking for protection. Sometimes we hide when we’re happy too. However you feel today, God has a Word for you. In His word, you are protected. In Jesus name I pray, Amen!

All times

1 Corinthians 10:31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Being grateful starts with intention. Humble yourself today and see what blessings have been brought into your life! If your time is surrounded with thanks for what you have, your what you need lessens. In

Be renewed

2 Corinthians 4:16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day To protect yourself from the sun you have to apply sun block at different moments. Going out unprotected can burn or even scar you. If you stopped maintaining your faith,

With you

Psalms 145:18 The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth Calling on God in truth means trusting Him. In our trouble God promises to be with us. Allow Him to be with you today, just as He was when you were made perfectly in His

Catching water

Jude 1:24 To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy Imagine your life was a cup. Some have holes and others cracks. God is trying to fill us with water (blessings) but we can’t hold it. When we bring

In too deep

Romans 1:28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done If we choose to practice sin, and turn away from the righteousness of God, the time will come when

Know and act on

Romans 1:21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened Knowing of Gods existence and acting on it are distinct. Even the demons know of God but don’t honor Him. Today I pray for resistance in

Guidance

Proverbs 16:3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. Some people place all of their trust, problems, circumstances and well being on a piece of paper hoping they’ll hit the big jackpot. My prayer for today is bring your plans to God and humble yourself! In Jesus name I

Correct place

Mark 12:17 Then Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.” And they were amazed at him. If you are a child of God, adopted into sonship by Jesus, your life is not your own. Who are you living for today, the life you one had,

Wait on Him

Jude 1:20-21 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life In your joy, pain, anguish, accomplishments, each day that passes in sickness

Practice

1 Peter 2:11 “Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.” Practice enough and you’ll be really good at what you do. This is the same for the Word of God or sin. Our character is defined by our actions and today my

The difference

Psalm 27:14 “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” The only difference tweet Daniel in the Lions den and your current struggle is faith. Your level of faith will either keep you in Gods presence or running to false gods when going through hard tines. Today I pray

The center

Psalm 118:8 “It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans.” Psalm 118 is the book and verse in the exact middle of the Bible, just before the longest verse and right after the shortest verse. The Bible is so divinely created there are 2 words in the middle, “The

Under pressure

Matthew 12:34 “You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.” As a follower of Christ, it’s important to recognize how strong your faith is. How do you respond to pressure? If something unexpected happens that causes you pain the level

Take

John 15:10 “If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. To walk with God, there is no straight line and takes constant effort. There are guidelines though. Choose today to walk in the love that’s right and not in

Limits

Jeremiah 32:17 “Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.” Of all the people in the world, God chose you. When we limit His power to our abilities or expectations, God turns into a figure we associate with the

Know and see

Psalm 139:14 “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” God knows the worst in you but also sees the best in you since the gifts He planted were specifically for you! Don’t fear what you can’t control. Today is the day of

Love the lost

Matthew 18:12 “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off?” Remember when God’s grace came over us and you were the one He left the 99 for!

Defending our hope

1 Peter 3:15 – But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, There will be a day when we are tested. For some of us, that

Attacks

Ephesians 6:11 – Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. When doubt comes to your mind, this is an attack from the enemy. If he had control, it would’ve happened already and not remained as a doubt. Stand firm today covered in the presence

Discernment

Isaiah 40:31 “but 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.” The eagle flaps its wings but sometimes just holds them out and gets carried by the current. Today I pray for

At all times

Psalm 113:3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised. Let’s reflect on how the day has been. We woke up, experienced blessings, some more pleasant than others and now we also have the opportunity to thank God for guiding us through

Reminder

Psalms 103:13 “As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.” “Compassion” is a Hebrew root that isn’t just a feeling. It’s an emotion that inspires action! If you haven’t been or haven’t had good experiences with your father, consider your Heavenly Father who is by

Shame

Romans 10:11 “As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” Your mind may give you a feeling of guilt today for things that were said or done. It’s Gods will for your life to be full by having a relationship with Him! Turn in your guilt for faith and

In tune

John 2:19 “Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” It’s important to have a relationship with God or when we get a word from Him, we won’t understand it. He will never abandon us but how will we know unless we can hear Him? Choose today to

The positive

1 Peter 3:10 “For “Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; Respond instead of react. If you acknowledge you can’t, ask God for the ability to keep from the dark. The Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Live

Action

John 21:15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. If we say we love Jesus, we must show it in word and action.

We forget

1 Chronicles 29:11 Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord , is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all We forget the glory isn’t ours. Whatever is going on in your life right

Almost right

2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. We know right from wrong. Today, I pray for God to reveal what we fall for that’s almost right that keeps us from Him. When we aren’t in constant relationship with the Lord, we fall for anything that we think

Everyone but God

John 6:30-31 “So they asked him, “What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ When God speaks a word we look for confirmation, a sign,

Our words

Proverbs 15:1 “ A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.  Sometimes in our walk with God we forget to watch how we speak. This can be with people at home, work or to those we don’t know. Today I remind you speak to others on your walk as God has spoken to

Reassess

Haggai 1:5 “Now this is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways.” Although God has a plan for our life, we sometimes stray. If we aren’t careful, we’ll miss the blessings God had intended for us. Today I remind you that it may not be today or tomorrow, but if you

Unconditional love

1 John 4:19-20 “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us. Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever

Glory

1 Corinthians 10:13 “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” Our finances, health, relationships, homes and so many other things are in the wrong care. If God isn’t the center of it. He isn’t glorified in it. When we do things that honor and

Be with Him

Judges 16:20 …He awoke from his sleep and thought, “I’ll go out as before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the Lord had left him.” Samson didn’t know Gods presence had left him since he didn’t have a relationship with God. He was blessed with a gift but treated it as

Righteousness

Romans 3:10 “As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;” In our own abilities we aren’t righteous. If we think so pride is covering our eyes and tainting our hearts. Through a relationship with Jesus we can walk with God today and be loved the way you were meant to, not

When we grieve

2 Corinthians 7:10 “Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.” When your heart is heavy, what’s the cause? Is it the same grief Jesus had as he wept for Lazarus or tears from the flesh? Today I pray for an anointing over your life that

Eyes of Christ

Mark 6:34 “When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.” If we looked at the world with the lens as Jesus views is, we would understand compassion. All of us are fallen and make mistakes.

God and trouble

Nahum 1:7 “The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him,” God doesn’t promise we won’t have problems in life but He does guarantee we can find protection in Him. We won’t be pulled out of the circumstance or season but we will be given exactly

Live without

Jeremiah 17:9-10 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? “I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.”” Think of something you can’t live without if God took it away tomorrow. This

Don’t be discouraged

Acts 19:8-9 “ “Paul entered the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God. But some of them became obstinate; they refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way. So Paul left them. He took the disciples with him and had discussions daily in the lecture hall of

Attack

2 Corinthians 10:3 “For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.” When we are attacked by someone, don’t retaliate as they do. Get to the source of the attack which in is what isn’t seen. Fight back in the spiritual! The one who lives in you is

In our weakness

2 Corinthians 12:9 “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” Come to the Lord in all your weakness today. Be glad in the fact

Selfless

Psalms 37:5-6 “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.” Living “less” for “self” and more for God takes trust. It takes strength and humility to know when to reach out for help.

Each other

James 5:16 “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” When someone tells you about what’s going on in their life, the first thing we should do is pray for them. If they are believers

Destroy or distract

1 Peter 5:8 “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” Everyday the enemy will try to destroy you and your family. If this doesn’t work, he’ll distract you. Ever wonder why it gets so hard to pray? If you get distracted,

Right by us!

1 John 5:14 “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.” When we first open our eyes everyday, before the reality of the day sets in, God has a plan for you. Our confidence for the day comes from knowing God does

Need

Need Hebrews 11:6 “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” The reward in seeking God may be the strength, compassion, understanding, patience or even discipline needed for what’s to come! Today I pray

The call

2 Timothy 2:20-21 “In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do

Discipline and desire

Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Planning, devotion and spending time with God starts with discipline. We may not want to exercise our spirits but doing so turns into

Dependence

Isaiah 40:30-31 “Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but 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.” If your hope is in tangible items that you

Everyone !

Romans 10:13 “for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” No one has exclusive rights to God. Everyone has the right of stepping into the gift of salvation! Today I pray for you and your connection with God. I pray against anything that is getting in the way today. In

Clarity

John 3:17  “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” Salvation is a gift for those who willingly accept God isn’t a dictator forcing this gift. He is a loving Father looking for us in all circumstances in life. Today I

Bear fruit

John 15:2 “He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.” As the sun comes out for another spring, allow God to prepare you for a new season with new blessings. Having an old mentality won’t

Fallen angel

Luke 10:18-19 “He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.” Of the 3 named angels in the Bible (Michael, Gabriel and Lucifer) the fallen one will do everything to

Our focus

Acts 16:25 “When he received these orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks. About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.” Paul and Silas were physically bound and thrown in jail after being beaten. Regardless

Thanksgiving

Psalms 95:2 “Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.” There are days when we are so consumed with our schedules that we can’t find the words to say in prayer. Today, let’s give thanks for what we have. Gratitude is a form of obedience that praises God. In

Restraint

Genesis 2:16-17 “And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” A person without restraint is one without authority. People have

Moral compass

Romans 3:20 “Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.” Gods law is a reminder of how much we need salvation not to put any of us down. Said plainly, no matter how good we are, there

The cross

1 Corinthians 1:18 “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” There are two sides to the cross. The first is of those that are saved and the other is those that are not. God doesn’t force

Desperation

Luke 24:2-3 “They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.” Imagine the fear and anxiety they must’ve felt after having discovered the missing body of Jesus. This was like adding salt to a fresh wound. They didn’t understand Gods plan

Good Friday

Matthew 27:63 ““Sir,” they said, “we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’” A day so dark with pain beyond words is called good, not for what was happening but for why it was happening. Jesus gave His life so we could have a relationship

Family

Matthew 12:49 “Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers.” When we come to Christ, we aren’t alone. We are given a family of believers and even though we may fall and lose our way, we are never alone! Today I pray for comunión in the family God has given

Did you know?

Isaiah 30:18 “Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!” God waits for us to turn to Him in all circumstances. In victory, failure, in joy and in pain, He

God who forgives

Nehemiah 9:17 “They refused to listen and failed to remember the miracles you performed among them. They became stiff-necked and in their rebellion appointed a leader in order to return to their slavery. But you are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love. Therefore you did not desert them,”

Confidence

1 John 2:28 “And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.” Confidence comes from trust. Where you decide to put your trust today will determine the confidence you have to get you through the problems of tomorrow. Trust in God

Don’t t stop

Luke 18:1 “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” When you pray, when do you stop? We shouldn’t! Not until our prayers are answered and even after we should pray with thanksgiving! Prayer moves Gods heart and is our way to contribute to Gods

Don’t hide

Genesis 3:10 “He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” Adam and Eve hid from God after their disobedience. Like them, we hide from the face of God and sometimes even run. God doesn’t seek perfection from us. He wants us to turn to

What will you sow?

Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” When we align our hearts with the Holy Spirit, we live in the abundance of its fruit. Our perspective in life changes, our actions become pure and blameless and

You are loved

1 John 4:18 “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” As the day comes to an end, regardless of how the day has been, you are loved. If you haven’t reached a deadline

Your defense

2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” When thoughts come to mind that say you’re not good enough, or God doesn’t love you, remember your past is irrelevant to God when you remain in Christ! The attacks from the enemy

Peace

John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.” In Jesus we have peace, not drugs or alcohol, causing self harm or hurting others, not in money, possessions or status. Anywhere else we try to find peace will only last for a little while. Turn to the peace

Museum or hospital?

Luke 5:31-32 “Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” As the body of Christ, we must always remember the purpose of the church. The walls don’t make the building holy, Gods presence does. The church

All for us

Isaiah 53:5-6 “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the

With you

Psalms 118:6 “The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid I’ll declare this on your behalf interceding for you. You will not be afraid, not today, because God is with you! Rejoice in His presence and be glad knowing you are not alone! My God, thank You for remaining in us. In Jesus

Holy Spirit

1 Peter 2:2-3 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. As newborns in Christ, we must crawl before we walk learning where to place the our hearts with our newly found salvation. We must

Help!

Psalms 46:1 “God is our refuge and strength, a helper who is always found in times of trouble.” Our first instinct when something is going wrong is “what do I do?” or “who can I call?”. Today I remind you that God can always be found in times of joy or pain and there are

Continually

Hames 1:27 “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” The Christian walk is one that we must engage in. Waiting for things to happen doesn’t bring us into the fullness of

Point of view

James 1:12 – “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.” The trials of today will either prepare us for what’s to come or cause us to stumble. Determining the difference depends

False premise

“To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy—” If you’re one of us that woke up thinking God is out of reach, I have an update for you. The enemy is a liar! Jesus Christ guides, and represents us

Creator

Genesis 1:3 “And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.” God speaks in solutions. When He said “let there be light”, there was no list of what was needed for light. In the same way, God wants you to focus on Him and the word that was given to you, not the

This day

Isaiah 54:10 “Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.” Our circumstances do not change who God is. The same today, tomorrow and forever, He loves you and

Help!

Romans 8:26 “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.” Prayer is a significant part of a relationship with God. Even though it’s so important, sometimes we can’t pray because of exhaustion

Rejoice

Psalms 13:5-6 “But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing the Lord’s praise, for he has been good to me.” Sometimes there is nothing any person can tell us that will make us feel better. These are the times we need to focus on God. Without the

Fourth quarter mentality

Matthew 24:12-13 “Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.” We have victory through Jesus Christ. The battle is won so we are called to hold on in faith. This doesn’t mean not taking action. Live a life

A need

Hebrews 10:36 “You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.” There is a need today. Not the one that satisfies our urges for a short while but the one that completes us. Today you are called to answer the plan God has

Remember

Exodus 17:3 “But the people were thirsty for water there, and they grumbled against Moses. They said, “Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?” Egypt was a time of bondage physically and spiritually. Moses, a man of God, was called to lead

Instructions

Colossians 4:2 “Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.” Friday. For some this is the end of the week, the start of one, the beginning of life or the end. Regardless of where you are today, continue to pray and give thanks. A heart of gratitude can recognize blessings since this comes

Understanding

Isaiah 55:8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Lack of understanding can be frustrating. God knows where He’ll take us if we allow

Following

Job 23:10-11 “But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. My feet have closely followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning aside. When we face trials of all kinds, our best course of action is to follow God. Sometimes this

Slow down

Psalm 42:2 “My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?” If this question has come up for you, I want to remind you that every breathe you take is a chance to meet God. It’s a blessing to feel His presence in prayer, church, in the

Contrary

2 Timothy 1:7 “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” Being timid comes from fear and fear is not of God. We have power by the name of Christ who represents us before God. I pray for us to step into the fullness of

Examples

1 John 3:18 “Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” What you do will be remembered more over what you say. You may have the right intentions but simply have a bad day and this will mark your character. Today I pray for a love to

Love first

1 John 4:7-8 “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” So many things change when we put love first. Think of the last time you were upset.

Eternal life

John 17:3 – “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” Jesus didn’t die on the cross to get us to heaven but so we would have a relationship with God, through Him. Eternal life isn’t the goal, it’s a bonus for having

Faith in action

Matthew 9:24-25 “he said, “Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him. After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.” Jesus could have struck them dead for laughing at Him. Instead, He chose to fulfill His

Your worth

Romans 6:18 “You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.” You cannot be a slave to sin if you’ve been free by the grace of God. You can go back to your past and try to cover the light of Salvation or you can stand in the face of trial

Purpose or potential?

John 19:28 “When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.” Jesus’ last words marked completion of His purpose. He lived the plan God had made. Even when abandoned by those closest or even crucified by the masses, Loved out His purpose.

Remember your blessings!

Exodus 19:4-5 ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession‭‭When we don’t remember the moments when God has blessed us,

If..and..you can..

If..and…you can.. Matthew 21:21 “Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.” Have faith, don’t doubt then tell

The right time

Joshua 5:6 “The Israelites had moved about in the wilderness forty years until all the men who were of military age when they left Egypt had died, since they had not obeyed the Lord. For the Lord had sworn to them that they would not see the land he had solemnly promised their ancestors to

Levels

Jude 1:22-23 “Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.” Different people have distinct points of view and thoughts about who God. Each have a different understanding and and foundation. Others are called to teach

A higher standard

Matthew 5:46 “If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?” The easy road, the broad path that leads to destruction is going for what takes no effort. It’s easy to love those that love us but know this can be done by anyone.

Actions

James 1:22 “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” As someone who believes that a Jesus died on the cross for my sins, I should do nothing less than live for the mercy of God. I also know that Historically, people follow more of what is done

What we have

1 John 3:17 “If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?” God blesses us different ways. Some by their education, others with gifts or talents. Then some with finances while others have wisdom. What

Love

Ephesians 3:17-18 “so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all

Daily

Romans 12:12 “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.” If today was anything less than what you wanted, I am here to remind you of your value to God. He created us therefore placed the value we overlook sometimes. We can be joyful in knowing He loves us! This joy gives

Living fir now or later?

Hebrews 12:11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it Discipline takes us out of our comfort zone. We do things not cause we want to but because we have the spiritual compass to do it.

God speaks

Genesis 1:3 “And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.” We know God speaks in many different ways. It’s easy to forget, just as He speaks to you, others hear Him too! Today I pray for patience and discernment so we are able to recognize those in the spiritual battle with us

Foreign land

Leviticus 18:3 “You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices.” God may have brought you to or will bring you to a foreign place in your

Hate or pray

Matthew 5:43-45 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain

Timing

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” The right thing at the wrong time is a curse. If we try to rush Gods plan for our lives we may get to

Recipes

Proverbs 21:4-5 “Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are sin. The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.” There are steps that lead to acting on sin. It starts with a seed that grows through lack of spiritual discernment. When

The company we keep

Proverbs 13:20 “Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.‬ The people in our lives reflect where we are or where we will be in our lives. With them, we will continue our habits or learn new ones. Is your circle challenging you to become better or encouraging

Stumbling block

1 Corinthians 8:12 “Thus, sinning against your brothers and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.” Not everyone has the same temptations or things that cause them to sin. Being aware of who is around us and what May be a weakness is important to building each other up. Our goal

Time to mourn

Matthew 5:4“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” Mourn sin today. Our own and that around us. Sin shouldn’t break us apart and should remind us of how much we need to work together as we search for God and His plan on our lives! Allow yourself a to look past the

Forgiving self

Psalm 86:5 “You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.” God forgives in His love and mercy that can’t be measured. If you haven’t, look at your deeds as God does. Forgive yourself and move towards His love. Don’t discredit yourself by looking at your circumstance. We serve

Service

Mark 9:35 “Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.” When we serve we carry out Gods will in Jesus Christ. Serving is part of worship just as much as singing songs of praise, praying or reading the word

Worship

John 4:24 “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” One might ask “how do I worship in spirit?” God will meet you where you are but a decision must be made in if we will choose to follow God or not. When we decide to live in truth,

The world

‭‭1 John‬ ‭2:15‬ “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.” Each of us has something that can pull us away from God. We don’t need to shield ourselves off from things in the world but we do need keep

Prerequisite

John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” In the Christian walk, there are two prerequisites; hardship and trials. No one wants to go through them but we can’t glorify God name

Be our guide

Psalm 19:14 “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.” My God, guide us today. Not to change the standards of Your will to what we think but work in our hearts so the results of our words and

Gods Grace

2 Timothy 1:9 “He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,” God’s grace is every good thing we can think of then some! Being established

Restoration

1 Peter 5:10 “And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.” Your present suffering will last only a season as we move towards Gods Grace that’s renewed everyday! When you
