Verse of the Day for Tuesday, November 10, 2020
They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers who refused to hear My words, and they have gone after other gods to serve them; the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken My covenant which I made with their fathers." -- Jeremiah 11:10
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Sometimes those with the greatest opportunity for blessings spurn them and fall back into the sinful habits of their heritage and culture. The consequences of this rejection of God, and his will, are enormous. For the last ten days in our devotionals, we've looked at the glorious future that lies ahead for us in our walk with Christ. Unfortunately, there are some who never climb on board the train of grace. They don't follow God and disdain those who do. In the face of their criticism, let's make sure we are truly faithful to God's calling, not just in word, but also in deed.
My Prayer...
Dear Heavenly Father, I look forward to being with you. Yet, dear Father, I face many challenges in commitment to be faithful. I don't want to fall into the bad and sinful habits of some who have gone before me and who rebelled against you. Please empower my faith to be like those who served you wholeheartedly. Please deliver me from any impure deed or thought. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Verse of the Day for Wednesday, November 11, 2020
Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord. -- 1 Corinthians 11:11
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
"We are all one in Christ Jesus!" Paul told the Galatians (Galatians 3:26-29). Satan, however, constantly tries to divide God's people. One of his most effective means of division has been to divide men and women — whether in families or churches. Paul reminds us that if Jesus is our Lord, we recognize we need each other and we are committed to placing value on each other. Rather than letting Satan divide us through our differences, we choose to unite around our Savior!
My Prayer...
Holy God, in whose image I am made, please give me the courage to value and esteem all others as you value me. Please do not let racial, social, or g****r differences interfere with me valuing each person you bring into my life. Give me the eyes and heart and words of Jesus to bless and value them as my Savior would. In the name of Jesus' our Savior I pray. Amen.

Verse of the Day for Thursday, November 12, 2020
He who is devoid of wisdom despises his neighbor, But a man of understanding holds his peace. -- Proverbs 11:12
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Wise folks don't have to prove their wisdom by disrespecting others and putting them down. Instead, they hold their tongues and let their lives speak what is good, honorable, righteous, and true. In a world of sarcasm and in a culture that is attracted to the person who can put down others with quick and razor-sharp "put downs," we are called to bring a blessing with our words (Ephesians 4:29).
My Prayer...
Holy Father, give me wisdom in the way I use my speech. May it be a blessing to others and a source of praise to you. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

I do not agree with your interpretation of Ephesians 4:29.
IMO; We are not to lie down and not fight evil.
Without resistance, evil flourishes.
Go back to Ephesians 6: 10 to 18.
Ephesians Ch 6:10 to 6:18 > especially 6:12 - For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of the world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

First of all this was not my interpretation but the interpretation of Pastor Phil Ware.
Secondly I agree with you and would like to add....
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.

Verse of the Day for Friday, November 13, 2020
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. -- Hebrews 11:13
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
I'm not good at waiting for much of anything. I'm like the kids who have seen the catalogues for Christmas toys and are anxious for the big gift day. God does have a great Gift Day ahead for us. On that wonderful day, all our waiting will be over and our faith will become sight. Let's follow the example of these great heroes of faith, and welcome that day from afar, by anticipation, praising God for his victory through Jesus Christ in our lives.
My Prayer...
Victorious King, Ruler of the Ages, I praise you for the resurrection that lies ahead for me. I thank you in advance for the day I get to see you face to face and join the great celebration of heaven. Until that day, please use me to help others glimpse the character and joy of your great victory. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Verse of the Day for Saturday, November 14, 2020
And no wonder! For Satan himself t***sforms himself into an angel of light.
-- 2nd Corinthians 11:14
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
While we wait for God's great victory for us to be fully realized, we also need to know that we are in a battle. God will win this battle through Jesus Christ. The final outcome is certain. Christ has already won the decisive battle. However, let's not be fooled; the evil one will do everything he can to deceive all people and confuse the lost. Let's stick with God's plan — living his t***h, listening for his voice in Scripture, and following the lead of his Spirit.
My Prayer...
Holy LORD, please give me the ability to discern t***h and resist the deception of Satan. Please empower me by your Spirit as I seek to live victoriously for you. In Jesus' name. Amen.
