8/2 2 Corinthians 12:9
9 Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
POWER
Power comes from God,
To those surrendered and under control.
We know our weakness.
We know that only in Jesus Christ can we succeed.
This is God’s Day, and I am available for His use.
People count, I serve them.
Jesus loves me, therefore I can love people.
8/1 Psalm 28:7
7 The Lord is my strength and shield.
I trust him with all my heart.
He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy.
I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.
HELP
Yes, the Lord is my strength.
His help is consistent and constant.
I have never been without His help.
He helps me in everything I face,
Moment by moment, day by day.
Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord.
7/31 Psalm 63:3
3 Your unfailing love is better than life itself;
how I praise you!
BETTER
Jesus unfailing love is perfect.
His love is better than life itself,
Because His love leads us to be like Him.
As I become more like Jesus
I am better able to forgive and forget.
This equips me to grow into Christ-likeness.
7/30 Colossians 3:14
14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.
CLOTHE
Put on love as a way of life.
Clothe yourselves in Jesus love.
Give His love to others.
Be in harmony with His creation because you love.
7/29 Ephesians 3:17-19
17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
GROW
We grow in love as we know Him better.
His love for us equips us to grow.
He reveals Himself to us as we love others.
We get to know Him better as we act as His representative.
Love one another.
Love Jesus.
Grow in love.
Be His hands and feet.

He knows us completely and still loves us.
His love is never ending.
7/27 2 Thessalonians 3:5

You are His precious child.
Every thought HE has towards you is a thought for good.
7/26 Isaiah 54:10
10 For the mountains may move
and the hills disappear,
but even then my faithful love for you will remain.
My covenant of blessing will never be broken,”
says the Lord, who has mercy on you.
MERCY
Thank you, Lord, for your gracious mercy.
Each morning when I awake and jump out of bed,
My first thought is thanking you Lord, for your mercy.
I am blessed, we are blessed by your gracious mercy.
Thank you, Lord.
Thank you Lord.
7/25 ! Peter 5:6-7
6 So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. 7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
HUMBLE
God calls us to humble ourselves.
Don’t go asking God to make you humble.
Understand who God is and who you are,
And it will make you humble.
Ego kills Christ like growth.
Therefore, humble yourself under the mighty hand of God.
7/24 Deuteronomy 7:9
9 Understand, therefore, that the Lord your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands.
GOD
HE IS GOD.
There is no other.
He is perfect and good and kind.
He loves us.
He is always faithful.
He is never far away from us.
He is never grouchy.
He wants to hear from us.
We are called to be thankful.
It is often the missing part of a life seeking peace.
He gives us His peace.
Glory to God who is faithful and loves me and you.
