08/31 Psalm 78:4
We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and his mighty wonders.
TELL
Tell your children about Jesus. Tell them everyday. Tell them in detail. Tell them the truth. Let them see how Jesus changes you. Are you changed by Jesus? If so tell everyone about Jesus. If you aren’t changed then you need to get together with Jesus and let Him change YOU!
08/30 Psalm 71:5
O Lord, you alone are my hope. I’ve trusted you, O Lord, from childhood.
HOPE
Lord you are tried and true. I’ve wrestled with problems all my life and you have consistently dealt with them and me. O Lord I believe, please help my unbelief.
08/29 1 Samuel 17:32
“Don’t worry about this Philistine,” David told Saul. “I’ll go fight him!”
WORRY
Jesus says don’t worry. We don’t have to worry because the Lord is in charge. He knows our need and He knows what is going to happen. Do not worry for Jesus has already won the victory. The Lord is in charge.
08/28 1 Samuel 2:8
He lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the garbage dump. He sets them among princes, placing them in seats of honor. For all the earth is the Lord’s, and he has set the world in order.
ALL
When the Lord says ALL HE means all, everything, without exception, totally and completely. Everything belongs to Jesus. Nothing exits without His permission. Be encouraged for Jesus is Lord indeed.
08/27 Deuteronomy 1:21
Look! He has placed the land in front of you. Go and occupy it as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has promised you. Don’t be afraid! Don’t be discouraged!’
JOY
Our life in Christ is a life that is filled with JOY. We have to claim that joy. We do that by spending time with Jesus, reading His Word, talking with Him and letting Him work out Himself through us. Jesus is Lord.
08/26 Genesis 48:11
Then Jacob said to Joseph, “I never thought I would see your face again, but now God has let me see your children, too!”
PROVIDENCE
The providence of God is active in each one of our lives. He is in control. He has a plan for each one of us. Please note that you are important to Jesus. You count.
08/25 1 Peter 2:9
But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.
WE
We do not proclaim our own fitness. All that we say and do is based on Jesus. We proclaim Christ and Him as Lord and Savior until He returns in Glory. Jesus is Lord. He is Lord of life, Lord of the living, Lord of all and He is our Lord the very focus of our existence. Jesus is God’s everything.
08/24 Zephaniah 3:17
For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”
CARES
Jesus cares for you. He cares for you when you are good and when you are bad. His caring never changes-Jesus loves you and He is seeking your best good. It is important as we face life events that we know deep within our soul that the Lord is on our side and He is. Jesus cares for you.
08/23 Dan 9:17
“O our God, hear your servant’s prayer! Listen as I plead. For your own sake, Lord, smile again on your desolate sanctuary.
PRAYER
We want to hear and be heard. We want to know that the Lord is here. He is and He promises to hear us and speak to us. In Jesus all the resources of the Lord are showered upon us. Jesus is God’s everything.
08/22 Zechariah 4:6
Then he said to me, “This is what the Lord says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
HOLY SPIRIT
The Lord is able. He is able to act and work in any situation. Nothing takes Him by surprise. You have free choice and the Lord has unlimited response. The Lord will never desert you nor will He ever disown you.
