Dear Friends,

Are you up-to-date on your forgiveness? Can you stand clean before your Lord? Have a time with the Lord today, and let Him show you even the hidden faults and cleanse and heal you. Have a great weekend!

Psalm 139: <23> Lord, look at me and know my heart. Test me and know my thoughts. <24> See if I have any evil thoughts. And guide me on the path that continues forever.

Dear Lord, Please search our hearts and teach us how to walk in Your pathways. Thank You for Your forgiving nature. In Jesus’ Name we pray, Amen.

Dear Friends,

The consistency of the Lord God should be very encouraging to us. He never changes, and His promises are true. Meditate on His greatness today and have a lovely day.

Deuteronomy 10: <17> The Lord is your God. He is the God of gods and the Lord of lords. He is the great God. He is the amazing and powerful fighter. To the Lord every person is the same. The Lord does not accept money to change his mind.

Dear Lord, We are truly awed by Your glory and Your consistency! May we learn to be consistent, as well, bringing You the honor that You deserve. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Dear Friends,

A man begged Jesus to heal his son if He could. Jesus replied that the man needed to believe. The desperate father cried out, “I do believe; help me to believe enough so that my son can be saved!” May the Lord grant us that kind of faith.

Mark 9: <23> Jesus said to the father, “Why did you say ‘if you can’? All things are possible for the one who believes.” <24> Immediately the father shouted, “I do believe. Help me to believe more!”

Dear Lord, We do believe; please help us to believe even more. Help us to trust You and wait for You, knowing that You love us and will take care of us. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Dear Friends,

We never grow so much in our Christian walk that we can relax. God commanded the 99-year-old Abram to be obedient and to live a pure life. May we take that command for ourselves and keep growing!

Genesis 17: <1> When Abram was 99 years old, the Lord appeared to him. The Lord said, “I am God All-Powerful. Do these things for me: Obey me and live the right way.”

Dear Lord, Walk with us every step every day, and help us, we pray, to be obedient and to live for Jesus. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Dear Friends,

One of the most precious promises we have from the Lord is that He not only forgives us, but He erases all memory of the sin. Rest in that promise as you go about your work today.

Romans 4: <7> What a blessing it is when people are forgiven for the wrongs they have done, when their sins are erased! <8> What a blessing it is when the Lord accepts people as if they are without sin!

Dear Lord, We thank You for forgiveness of sins. May we learn to forgive and forget just as You do! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Dear Friends,

The way we as Christians live before the world not only makes us good citizens, but also is pleasing to the Lord. Start this week with the thought of pleasing our Lord , and have a great week.

Acts 24: <16> I always try to do what I believe is right before God and before everyone.

Dear Lord, Please help us to always be conscious of our witness to the world. Help us to be good citizens and to please You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Dear Friends,

Let us never forget the hour we first believed, the moment when Jesus came into our heart. Rejoice in that memory and worship tomorrow with your fellows in the Lord’s House. Have a wonderful weekend!

Romans 3: <23> All have sinned and are not good enough for God’s glory. <24> They are made right with God by his grace. This is a free gift. They are made right with God by being made free from sin through Jesus Christ.

Dear Lord, Our gratitude knows no bounds. We love You and thank You for salvation, for redeeming us on the cross, and granting us freedom from the death grip of sin. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Dear Friends,

God is holy and should always be treated as holy. Remember that He is all-powerful, creative, always present in every place, and that God is love. Meditate on those thoughts this morning.

Amos 4: <13> [Who am I?] I am the One who made the mountains. I created your minds. I taught people how to speak and I changed the darkness into dawn. I walk over the mountains of the earth. [Who am I?] My name is Yahweh, God of the armies.”

Dear Lord, We worship You this morning in the shadow of Your grace and love. You deserve all the glory and honor, all the praise and thanksgiving within us. We love You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Dear Friends,

As you go to work or school this morning, carry the Light of Jesus with you. Be kind and patient with others so that they might see the Lord in your behavior. Have a great day!

Matthew 5: <16>You should be a light for other people. Live so that they will see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.

Dear Lord, May we honor You today by showing Your Light to the people around us. Help us, we pray, to be kind and patient. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Dear Friends,

When the Apostle Paul went all over the known world on his missionary journeys, he did not have to even learn a new language, because everybody knew Greek. The prophet Zephaniah foresaw men and women from many nations worshiping God together. Let us worship with our neighbors from all over the world, sharing the love of Jesus, uniting our hearts in love.

Zephaniah 3: <9> Then I will change people from other nations so they can speak the language clearly and call out the name of the Lord. They will all worship me together, shoulder to shoulder, as one people.

Dear Lord, We have heard Your call to evangelize the world. May we carry out Your command and learn to love as You do. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
