10/18               Ephesians 5:22-25

22 For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23 For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church.24 As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything. 25 For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her 

JESUS

Jesus died for you therefore you should be willing to die for your loved ones but more than that you should be willing to live for your loved ones and treat them like Jesus treats you. 

Submit yourself under the mighty hand of God and be the Christ like leader you are called to be. 

10/17               Ephesians 1:1

1 This letter is from Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus. I am writing to God’s holy people in Ephesus, who are faithful followers of Christ Jesus.

FAITHFUL

Faithful followers are what we are called.  That presumes that we are obedient to the Lord.  If we are disobedient we are unfaithful.  The Lord is always faithful.  Can we be anything less?

10/16               Ezekiel 16:8

8 And when I passed by again, I saw that you were old enough for love. So I wrapped my cloak around you to cover your nakedness and declared my marriage vows. I made a covenant with you, says the Sovereign LORD, and you became mine. 

EVERY

Every day is a good day.  Jesus loves you.  He has saved you and brought you into the family of God.  He will never ever leave you.  Jesus is Lord. 

10/15               Jeremiah 2:2

2 “Go and shout this message to Jerusalem. This is what the LORD says: “I remember how eager you were to please me as a young bride long ago, how you loved me and followed me even through the barren wilderness. 

SHOUT

Shout to all that Jesus loves you.  He saves you.  He builds you up and will never forsake you.  He is the Lord Almighty, Savior and Friend.  Shout, Jesus is Lord. 

10/14               Isaiah 54:5

5 For your Creator will be your husband; the LORD of Heaven’s Armies is his name! He is your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, the God of all the earth. 

CREATOR

He made us.  He loves us.  He seeks our best good.  Sit with Him and learn about Him.  Ask Jesus to give you the wisdom, mercy, grace and understanding that you need to serve him.  He is Lord of all. 

10/13               Hosea 2:20

20 I will be faithful to you and make you mine, and you will finally know me as the LORD. 

LORD

Lord, your care and concern for me are amazing.  I cannot comprehend how One who knows all about me loves me but You do and I am grateful.  Teach me to be faithful.  Teach me how to be usable and useful.   

10/12               Isaiah 1:26

26 Then I will give you good judges again and wise counselors like you used to have. Then Jerusalem will again be called the Home of Justice and the Faithful City.”

JUDGES

Good judges are important in a community.  People need to be treated fairly.  Evil escalates quickly when justice is denied.  We want the Lord involved with us in our society so that our judges will be impartial and committed to being fair.  People need Jesus. 

10/11          Deuteronomy 10:12-13

12 “And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you? He requires only that you fear the LORD your God, and live in a way that pleases him, and love him and serve him with all your heart and soul. 13 And you must always obey the LORD ’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good. 

OBEDIENCE

Obedience results in relationship.  If I obey the Lord in doing what He says I will grow in my relationship with Him and get to know Him better every day.  If I do my own thing and trivialize my need for obedience I will not grow and become more like Jesus.  He is Lord. 

10/10           Deuteronomy 5:32-33

32 So Moses told the people, “You must be careful to obey all the commands of the LORD your God, following his instructions in every detail. 33 Stay on the path that the LORD your God has commanded you to follow. Then you will live long and prosperous lives in the land you are about to enter and occupy.

OBEY

Obey the Lord.  Follow Him.  Spend time with Him.  Get to know the path you should walk and walk it.  Be a doer of the Word so that you will grow in Christlikeness. 

10/9            Exodus 19:5

5 Now if you will obey me and keep my covenant, you will be my own special treasure from among all the peoples on earth; for all the earth belongs to me.

FOLLOW

Follow the Lord.  There is great profit in following Jesus today to guide us and into eternity.  The Lord is on our side and He calls us to be on His side.
