05/09 1 John 1: 1
We proclaim to you the one who existed from the beginning, whom we have heard and seen. We saw him with our own eyes and touched him with our own hands. He is the Word of life.
JESUS
Jesus was always with the Father, is with the Father, will always be with the Father. Jesus is Lord. When you see Jesus you have seen the Father. Praise the Lord from whom all blessings flow.
05/08 Psalm 2:10-12
Now then, you kings, act wisely! Be warned, you rulers of the earth! 11 Serve the LORD with reverent fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Submit to God’s royal son, or he will become angry, and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities— for his anger flares up in an instant. But what joy for all who take refuge in him!
SERVE
Serve the Lord and rejoice in your everyday life. God is with us and He rejoices in our good life. He wants us to be happy and serve Him. When we serve each other we are serving God.
05/07 Psalm 2:6-9
For the Lord declares, “I have placed my chosen king on the throne in Jerusalem, on my holy mountain.” 7 The king proclaims the LORD ’s decree: “The LORD said to me, ‘You are my son. Today I have become your Father. 8 Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, the whole earth as your possession. 9 You will break them with an iron rod and smash them like clay pots.’”
MESSIAH
Messiah prophesied to be coming and He has come in Jesus Christ. He is the King. The Creator, the Ruling Monarch of the universe. Bow to Him in submission or when He returns it won’t be positive. Jesus is Lord of All. Our true king and ruler. Jesus.
05/06 Psalm 2:1-5
Why are the nations so angry? Why do they waste their time with futile plans? 2 The kings of the earth prepare for battle; the rulers plot together against the LORD and against his anointed one. 3 “Let us break their chains,” they cry, “and free ourselves from slavery to God.” 4 But the one who rules in heaven laughs. The Lord scoffs at them. 5 Then in anger he rebukes them, terrifying them with his fierce fury.
CAREFUL
We should be careful by the way we live our life. We are not at the mercy of the world unless we choose to be. When we ask Jesus into our life we have a companion who is interested in every detail of our life. Jesus is our source of life and sustenance for life. God is not fooled when we thumb our nose at Him. Choose the Lord Jesus and escape the rebuke of God.
05/05 Psalm 1:6
For the LORD watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.
BAD
The wicked are walking on their own path. They don’t know where it is going or where it will end. Not so the children of God. The Lord is watching over their path. The Lord knows where their path is leading and where it will end up. You are never alone when you claim Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
05/04 Psalm 1:4-5
But not the wicked! They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind. 5 They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly.
CAUTION
I always look at this verse with caution. I’m reminded of God’s grace and my response. Believe in the Lord Jesus or you are counted with the wicked. Tragic choice so many make by ignoring Jesus. Choose Him while you can. It is important to be numbered with the children of God.
05/03 Psalm 1:3
They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.
PATH
God calls us to follow along the path that He will direct us on and will guide with His Word, and His presence. In Jesus we have Grace and Peace as we walk the God trail each day of our life.
05/02 Psalm 1:2
But they delight in the law of the LORD, meditating on it day and night.
THINK
Think about the Words that the Lord gives us. The Bible is His spoken Word written. God is talking to you. Listen please to Him.
05/01 Psalm 1:1
Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.
WHO
The Psalmist is speaking about people. People who follow the crowd. People who go along to get along. The Lord calls us to listen to Him and obey. A Christ follower acts differently than the World. Follow Jesus.
4/30 Matthew 14:34
After they had crossed the lake, they landed at Gennesaret. 35 When the people recognized Jesus, the news of his arrival spread quickly throughout the whole area, and soon people were bringing all their sick to be healed. 36 They begged him to let the sick touch at least the fringe of his robe, and all who touched him were healed.
HEALING
We need healing just like those in Jesus’ day. He is the healer-He heals us from our sin and our sinfulness and He delivers us from the oppression we so often struggle with in the spiritual realm. Yes, we are fighting the real battles of life in the spiritual realm. Jesus heals us.
