Each and every one of us will have to be held accountable for our decisions as well as our choices.
On that Day, (you know what I'm referring to...), will you be ready?
Look to Jesus Christ fir your redemption.

Verse of the Day for Monday, October 9, 2017:
Fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing. â Psalm 34:9
Thoughts on Today's Verse....
"Fear of the LORD" is one of the great themes of the Old Testament. The phrase is particularly hard to t***slate, especially in light of the repeated message of the Bible to "fear not" and John's reminder that "perfect love casts out all fear." It means more than "hold God in reverence." Generally, "fear of the LORD" means that we remember our place in the order of things. We know we are deeply loved by our holy Father in heaven. We recognize that we are weak and sinful in comparison and are saved by God's mercy and grace. We acknowledge that his majesty and holiness are far beyond us and that we pale in significance before God. We come to God acknowledging our need for him and our unworthiness to demand anything from him. The incredible reality is that when we approach God with this sense of awe and profound respect, he in turn welcomes us with open arms and brings us close. (See Is! aiah 57:15)
My Prayer...
Holy and Righteous Father, God Almighty, thank you for your mercy, grace, and forgiveness. Thank you for your love, faithfulness, and justice. I come to you on my knees, recognizing that you are holy, majestic, awesome in power, and righteous in all that you do. Without your grace and the gift of your Spirit, I know I could not come into your presence with such boldness. Righteous Father, forgive me for my sins and empower me to be a person of integrity and grace. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Verse of the Day for Tuesday, October 10, 2017:
The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. â Psalm 34:10
Thoughts on Today's Verse....
While even the most fierce h****rs cannot ensure their security and nourishment, those whose hunger is for God will find themselves nourished, blessed, and sustained.
My Prayer...
Thank you, Father, for the promise that you will never leave me or forsake me even though friends and partners may betray and forsake me. I confess that it is sometimes hard to fully comprehend, much less believe, that you are always faithful. Confusing and hurtful times come and I waver in my confidence in your grace. Please forgive me and renew my hope. I do believe, dear Father, that you love me like no one else can. I do believe, Almighty God, that you care about my wounds and worries. I recommit my heart this day to trust in your daily care, provision, and grace for me. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Verse of the Day for Thursday, October 12, 2017:
Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies. â Psalm 34:12-13
Thoughts on Today's Verse....
God reminds us that our words and the way we use our speech greatly impact the quality of life we enjoy. Nothing cuts short a vibrant life like evil speech and lies we tell. They set loose a force of deception and damage that we cannot control. This unleashed power not only damages those about whom and to whom we speak, but they eventually boomerang and come back and bring their deadly payload back into our own lives. Let's be people who speak what is right, good, wholesome, holy, true, and a blessing. (cf. Ephesians 4:20-5:12)
My Prayer...
Holy and Righteous God my Father, purify my heart and cleanse my words of all deceit, slander, vulgarity, wickedness, unt***h, exaggeration, mean-spiritedness, distortion, guile, and words that wound. May the words of my mouth and the intentions of my heart be pleasing to you, O God. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Verse of the Day for Friday, October 13, 2017:
Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. â Psalm 34:14
Thoughts on Today's Verse....
It is not enough to turn from evil. We can clean the putrid things out of our life, but if we do not actively pursue what is good then a worse evil will rush into the void. (cf. Mat. 12:43-45) Let's be a people eager to do good and with a passion to "wage peace."
My Prayer...
O Father, let me be an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, use me to share your love and grace. Where there is injury, sin, and brokenness, use me to bring healing, forgiveness, and comfort. Please, Abba Father, use me to do your good work in my world. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Verse of the Day for Sunday, October 15, 2017:
The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth. â Psalm 34:16
Thoughts on Today's Verse....
God h**es violence and demands that we not admire those who are violent or share in their violent lifestyle. (Prov. 3:31) God abhors those who do evil. God not only opposes them when they are alive, he also mitigates their influence after they are gone. He helps them be seen for what they really are. Far from being viewed as heroes, their legacy of h**e and wickedness is spurned, shunned, scandalized, and forgotten.
My Prayer...
In our own time of terror and wickeness, O LORD, please make worthless the threats of the wicked and make their memory a foul stench in the nostrils of those they are trying to deceive and co-opt to do their evil will. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Stop worrying about who likes you or not, or what they say about you.
Their opinion should not be something that concerns you.
They're not going to be in your life each and every day, hour nor minute.
They have their own problems and issues.
They put their pants on, one leg at a time, just like you!
Instead, focus on God's opinion of you!
Let God be the focus of your own life!
Get your own house in order and pray that they get theirs in order too, that's right....that they get their own life in order! Then, allow His Will to be done in each of your lives!!!
In Christ' Holy name! Amen!
