10/26 Philippians 4:20
20 Now all glory to God our Father forever and ever! Amen.
GLORY
God’s great and infinite beauty,
His loveliness and grandeur,
His character and worth,
And His many perfections.
God is God all by Himself,
And He is the absolute manifestation of Himself.
10/25 Galatians 5:13
13 For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.
USE
We have a choice.
Useable to God or a
Self-serving focus.
We die every day.
Who will you follow and serve,
Jesus or self?
10/24 Luke 9:48
48 Then he said to them, “Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf[a] welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me also welcomes my Father who sent me. Whoever is the least among you is the greatest.”
CARE
We are called to care for one another.
Value people.
Help people.
Be the hands and feet of Jesus.
Say little and grin a lot.
Love one another.
10/23 Colossians 3:18-19
18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting for those who belong to the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly.
LOVE
Love for one another.
That is the call.
Do unto others.
Be there.
Help each other.
10/22 John 3:30
30 He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.
JESUS
Messiah has come in Jesus Christ.
God stepped off His throne and came as a baby born in Bethlehem.
He lived a perfect life-sinless.
He died to pay the price for our sin.
The power of God raised Him from the grave.
He is at the right hand of the Father interceding for us right now.
10/21 Psalm 25:8-9
8 The Lord is good and does what is right;
he shows the proper path to those who go astray.
9 He leads the humble in doing right,
teaching them his way.
GOOD
The Lord is good in every way.
He is always good.
He has never not been good.
The Lord is good, and He is good to me His child.
10/20 Proverbs 15:33
33 Fear of the Lord teaches wisdom;
humility precedes honor.
WHAT
We act like we don’t understand.
The Word of God simply says – FEAR OF THE LORD TEACHES WISDOM.
WHY IS THIS HARD FOR US?
Do you really think you can even think about God without HIS input?
He calls us. We live in Him. His love is real.
Why is this hard?
We cannot understand God, comprehend God or follow God and
Yet He makes a way for any of us that would bend the knee to Him.
Jesus is the answer to every question.
Jesus is the way of life.
He offers us the free gift of life in God’s family.
Fear of the Lord teaches wisdom.
10/19 Matthew 6:2
2 When you give to someone in need, don’t do as the hypocrites do—blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to call attention to their acts of charity! I tell you the truth, they have received all the reward they will ever get.
REWARD
Do your good works out of sight of others.
Seek to do what needs to be done quietly.
Never call attention to your giving.
Cloak your good works.
Obey the Lord.
Walk in humility and He will reward you.
10/18 Micah 6:8
8 No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good,
and this is what he requires of you:
to do what is right, to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with your God.
NOW
Now is the time to obey Jesus.
Now is the time to clothe yourself with humility.
Now is when the Lord’s work is done-right now.
10/17 1 Corinthians 1:28-29
28 God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. 29 As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God.
WEAK
I am weak.
Jesus is strong.
He gives me His victory, His joyous song.
Soon I will be with Him.
He will care for me from now into eternity.
Jesus the Lord guides me on the right path.
