Dear Friends,

It is hard to imagine that the wonderful Creator God is also a personal God, our Friend, our Master, the One who loves us. Meditate on that thought today and rejoice!

Romans 11: <33> Yes, God’s riches are very great! His wisdom and knowledge have no end! No one can explain what God decides. No one can understand his ways. <34> As the Scriptures say, “Who knows the mind of the Lord? Who is able to give God advice?”

Dear Lord, We are so grateful that You love us! Guide us and teach us how to serve You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Dear Friends,

Jesus came to this world in peace, and He left that peace with us, along with His commission for us to make disciples in all the world. Let us faithfully obey His commandment.

John 20: <21> Then Jesus said again, “Peace be with you. It was the Father who sent me, and I am now sending you in the same way.”

Dear Lord, Help us to obey Your commission in peace and love, bringing people to a saving knowledge of the Savior. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Dear Friends,

How can we be wise? The wisest thing you can ever do is to submit yourself to God’s authority and worship Him. That’s what the Bible says!

Psalm 111: <10> Wisdom begins with fear and respect for God. People who obey God are very wise. Praises will be sung to God forever.

Dear Lord, May we be wise in our relationship with You. Teach us to obey You and to love You, praising You forever. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Dear Friends,

Christians always need teaching and admonishing from pastors and teachers in the church. As you prepare your hearts for worship tomorrow, also prepare to receive good Bible teaching and preaching. Have a great weekend.

I Peter 2: <2> Like newborn babies hungry for milk, you should want the pure teaching that feeds your spirit. With it you can grow and be saved.

Dear Lord, Please inspire our pastors and teachers at our churches so that we may learn from Your Word and grow. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Dear Friends,

God’s Word has been tested and tried through the ages and it has stood the test of time. It has encouraged the saints, and brought the lost to Christ. Read your Bible today, giving thanks that we have the complete revelation of His Word.

Psalm 12: <6> The Lord’s words are true and pure like silver melted in a hot fire. They are pure like silver that was melted and made pure seven times.

Dear Lord, Thank You so much for Your Word. We are inspired and strengthened by it. May we be true and faithful, reading it daily. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Dear Friends,

The Lord always wants to bless us, and He seeks those who are faithful in order to strengthen them and use them for His glory. Be sure to be faithful in all that you do.

II Chronicles 16: <9> The eyes of the Lord go around looking in all the earth for people who are faithful to him so he can make those people strong.

Dear Lord, Help us, we pray, to be faithful to You and serve You with all our might. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Dear Friends,

The Holy Spirit plays such a vital role in our lives! He reveals God’s will for our lives, God’s love, God’s teaching, and much more of the mind of God. Rejoice in this and have a great day today!

I Corinthians 2: <11> It is like this: No one knows the thoughts that another person has. Only the person’s spirit that lives inside knows those thoughts. It is the same with God. No one knows God’s thoughts except God’s Spirit. <12> We did not receive the spirit of the world. But we received the Spirit that is from God. We received this Spirit so that we can know the things that God has given us.

Dear Lord, What a privilege it is to have the Holy Spirit living in us! Thank You for this great gift. Through Him may we know You more and more. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Dear Friends,

Jesus told people that His purpose on earth was to find people who needed Him and to save them. We need to recognize that we all need Him and His salvation. Rejoice that He came after you!

Luke 19: <10> The Son of Man came to find lost people and save them.

Dear Lord, Thank You so much for caring so much about people, for coming to earth to bring us to salvation. We love You! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Dear Friends,

Be always aware that the Lord not only created us; He is also with us all the time, maintaining and helping, teaching and creating. What a wonderful God we serve!

Hosea 6: <3> Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.

Dear Lord, You are the delight of our hearts! We need You and we seek You in all parts of our lives. We love You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
