Verse of the Day for Sunday, June 28, 2020
Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. - Luke 6:28
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Outside the example of Jesus, this command makes no sense at all. But, Jesus shows us the importance of leaving our destiny in the hands of our Creator and Father. Suddenly, this makes perfect sense. What is the best way to defeat an enemy? Certainly it's not to beat or k**l that person. No, the way we defeat our enemies is by having Jesus' grace capture their hearts and having their character conform to that of our King!
My Prayer...
Loving and gracious God, please soften my heart and toughen my resolve so that I can love as Jesus loved. Make my life redemptive, even to those who oppose, abhor, ridicule, and h**e me. Use me, dear Father, to bring others to the grace of Jesus. In his name I pray. Amen.

Verse of the Dayfor Monday, June 29, 2020
Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. - John 6:29
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
"What do you do for a living?" It is one of the most commonly asked questions in many cultures. We define each other in large measure by the work we do. God, however, defines us by his grace. So the work God has for us, the way he wants us to "make our living," so to speak, is by fully trusting in Jesus. This is the orientation point for each of our lives!
My Prayer...
Lord God Almighty, Ruler of Heaven and earth, I believe, but help my unbelief. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Verse of the Day for Tuesday, June 30, 2020
But Moses said to the LORD, "Since I speak with faltering lips, why would Pharaoh listen to me?"—Exodus 6:30
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Moses had to learn the same lesson most of us have to learn: folks really don't care that much about what we say. If the t***h be known, most of us can't say it very well, anyway. But, when we offer ourselves to the Lord, he truly works through us and uses us in mighty ways. Ol' Stammerin' Mo' is the great testimony that God can take a shepherd with faltering speech and turn him into the greatest leader of his time. Don't you think we had better ask what God wants to do with us, and get to doing it!
My Prayer...
Loving Father, please use me in your service. I recognize that all the gifts, abilities, and experiences that I have came from you. All my capabilities are given to me so I can bring you praise. So please enable me to use my abilities for your glory. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Verse of the Day for Wednesday, July 1, 2020
O LORD my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me...
—Psalm 7:1
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Who or what is pursuing you? Is it a past mistake? Is it an old enemy? Is it your conscience? Is it a nagging sense of guilt? Is it someone who wants to do you physical harm? Is it a physical illness? In the middle of all the storms and struggles of life, where do you go to find peace and security? There is only One who can be a true and lasting refuge. Just One!
My Prayer...
Father God, you are my refuge and source of strength when my courage is gone and my soul is weary. Please, dear Father, destroy all the forces and powers and enemies that pursue me and seek to take me captive and draw me away from you. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Verse of the Day for Thursday, July 2, 2020
For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.—Matthew 7:2
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus is concerned that we not have a critical spirit toward others, especially about their motives as to why they did something. We can't assume to know another person's heart; only God can. When we are unfairly critical, overly harsh, or unduly judgmental, we need to remember that God will use that same standard on us. I don't know about you, but I need grace. So do those I love. I'm going to try very hard to be as gracious toward others as I'm trusting that God is going to be gracious with me.
My Prayer...
Forgive me, Abba Father, for the times that I've been far more critical of others than I should be. Arouse within me a passion to be gracious toward others so that they can see your graciousness shining through me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
