I want you to stop and think about this, with me for a minute. Jesus’s way, is not the world’s way. We are called to Love our enemies, not destroy and overcome, like the worldly view. We overcome with Love and Compassion, just as Jesus did. Think about an enemy, or someone you are at war (there is strife of some sort) with right now. Show compassion and love to them, but don’t do it to get something. Do it because that is how Jesus did it. The rest is not up to us. God Bless you today.

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
LUKE 6:36 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/luk.6.36/420

Let me try and paraphrase this verse……..Fill your mind with God’s word, and you will be filled with his spirit, which Jesus sent to help us walk with him. Fill your mind, with the things of this world, and you will be like the world, around you. A sobering thought, as to how quickly we can lose our way!

Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life.
PROVERBS 4:23 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/pro.4.23/306

Being right with God is a blessing. He knows our hearts and thoughts. Even when we fail, he hears our prayers of repentance. Thank you, Jesus!

” For the eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous , And His ears attend to their prayer , But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil .”
1 PETER 3:12 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/1pe.3.12.NASB

Isn’t it great to know, that no matter what happens to us here on this earth, we have a God who protects us. Not saying bad things won’t come in this sinful world, but for those who put their trust and faith in Jesus, we will never die. We will pass, from this temporary life, into all eternity, with all of our brothers and sisters in Christ. Now that is Good News we should be telling to all who will come to Jesus.

Guarding the paths of justice, And He preserves the way of His godly ones.
PROVERBS 2:8 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/pro.2.8/504

Pray fervently, wait patiently through the trials, that come your way. God is faithful, and will give you strength. He is our strength. He never grows weary, of taking care of those who put their trust and faith in him. So…….let us press on toward the the goal for the prize, of the upward call of God, in Christ Jesus (Phil 3:14)!

Yet those who wait for the Lord Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.
ISAIAH 40:31 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/isa.40.31/1179

Jesus, was fully man, and fully God! Later on, he would say, if you want to know the Father, you need to go through me. He said, I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father, except through me (John 14:6. If you seek and follow Jesus teachings, you will find, life eternal. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son, that whosoever believer in him, should have eternal life.

“Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.
JOHN 14:1 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.14.1.NASB

Thank you Jesus, that you guide our steps. I know we make mistakes, but this is a reminder that without you, we are lost. May you open our eyes today, that we might see clearly, the path before us. Even if it is a different path that we were going to choose today. Amen!

for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
PHILIPPIANS 2:13 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/php.2.13/2610

Actions……..have consequences. Whether in this world, or in a future life, which those of us who follow Jesus, believe in. Lord, may the word’s of our mouths, and the meditation of our heart, be acceptable to you. May your Spirit, guide us to love and good deeds, and may the harvest be plentiful, for bringing those in a lost and dying world, to put their trust in Jesus. Amen

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.
GALATIANS 6:7 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.6.7.NASB

Please Lord, open the eyes of those who don’t believe, so that they will not be judged. Use us, as your instruments, to share the Good News, that Jesus saves, to all who believe in faith, and turn from their wicked ways. Amen

He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
JOHN 3:18 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.3.18.NASB

Lord, thank you for your word, that is sufficient for all of life. Your word comes to man, from a holy God. Man’s own words, comes from a corrupted heart, that can deceive. Help us to choose your truth, every day, and not the world’s deceptive wisdom, based on our own selfish desires.

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
