Pray and Seek My Face

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

Free at Last

"Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!" Becoming a Christian means we have been liberated from law keeping.

God Our Refuge

God is not only our protector; he is also our helper. Even when our world seems to be crashing around us, he is there.

Give Me Eyes to See

Give me eyes to see, O God, all the many wonderful ways you are providing for me and graciously providing the abundance you have poured into my life.

Forgiveness of Sin

Forgiveness! What a sweet and precious gift. What we were powerless to fix, make up or pay for, God did for us in Jesus.

Reconciliation

“God has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.” 2 Corinthians 5:19-20

We are Reconciled

Jesus didn't just die for my sins, he lives for me. In fact, he is at God's right hand claiming me as his own

Guard My Mouth

How important is our speech? Jesus said it revealed what was going on in our hearts.

God our Guide

Extravagant over-reaction! That's what we're programmed to seek and to display in our modern world of sound bytes and over-hyped personality.

I Have Set the Lord Before Me

There are many things that can trouble our lives, but none that can shake us loose from the grip of God's grace if our hearts remain close to Jesus as our Lord

Bear Up

Wouldn't it be incredible if those of us who are not touched by terrible persecution or hardship would begin each day praying for those in our spiritual family who do face hardship, persecution, suffering, and mistreatment?

Our Refuge

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1 Where can we go when all the walls fall and all the armies crumble and all hope is lost?

Ask, Seek and Knock

Ask! So often we're afraid to ask for help because we have to admit we don't have the answers. Seek! Effort and interest and perseverance are necessary and that's sometimes hard. Knock! But God wants us to use the A.S.K.

Transformed

Romans 12:2 Don't be molded by the world. Wow, isn't that a tough one to obey? “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed be...

A Good Day

“Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.” Psalm 90:14

Hope in the Lord

Isaiah 40:31 “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 will not be faint"

Facing Trials

James 1:2-3 “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.” "Hang in there!" There are few traits more important than perseverance. Most important accomplishments in life happen because of perseverance.

Temptation

Most Holy Father, guard my heart from temptation and my life from sin. I want to serve you with wholehearted devotion.

Put on the New Self

Dear Father, may people see the character and likeness of Jesus in me today.

Forget the Former Things

Lord of all eternity, please help me to learn from my mistakes this past year, but not to dwell on them. The year is gone, finished, past. We cannot reclaim it or undo it.

Transform My Heart

God wants us to treat each other as he has treated us, thinking of their needs and God's will before our own. Now that's one revolution I hope I get to see fully happen!
