08/23 Luke 17:5
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Show us how to increase our faith.”
HELP
We need help to grow our faith. Jesus offers that help. Ask Him to help you grow your faith. As you read God’s Word you will discover Jesus guiding you into the things you need to do to grow. Jesus help me grow my faith. He will do it.
08/22 1 Corinthians 13:13
13 Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
LOVE
Jesus loves you. His direction for us is that we are to love one another. Love is the pinnacle of our relationship with Jesus and each other. Love is critical. Without love we will not grow in Christ-likeness.
08/21 Galatians 2:20
20 My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
LIFE
I live my life under the direction of Jesus Christ. Everything I do I check with Him. I spend time with Him. I read the Bible and claim His promises for me. Then one day I will pass from this life to the next and Jesus will go with me and meet me face to face in eternity. What an amazing day that will be. Jesus is Lord.
08/20 Galatians 2:16
16 Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law.”
BELIEVE
Believe in Jesus-that He died on the Cross providing the payment for your sin and that the Father by His power raised Jesus from the dead. You will be saved by grace through faith in Jesus. Believe in Him. Do not follow the world. Jesus saves.
08/19 2 Timothy 4:7
7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful.
AMEN
I want to end my life saying as Paul said I’ve done good. My focus was and is Jesus. My life represented Him well. Christ is my Lord and Savior and my life mirrors that belief. Then we finish our course and step into eternity with Jesus. Jesus is God’s everything.
08/18 Mark 9:23
23 “What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.”
YES
Yes, you can live a faithful, exciting and joyous life. It requires that you develop your faith in Jesus and live with the confidence that He is with you. The Bible, prayer times and quiet times are required, or the World will run over you. Oh, and you can’t live partly in the world and partly in Christ. Choose who you will follow and you will constantly be changing to become more like Jesus.
08/17 Psalm 46:10
10 “Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”
WILL
Man rails and screams at God. You aren’t there man says. God is there and one day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. Do not let the World ding your faith. Believe in the Lord Jesus and He will walk with you every day of your life and be there to carry you into eternity when you pass away from this life. Jesus is Lord.
08/16 John 8:24
24 That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM who I claim to be, you will die in your sins.”
BELIEVE
Believe in Jesus and live. This is a critical decision that we each must make. Jesus is Lord and when we believe in Him we are cleansed of our unrighteousness and given new life in Christ Jesus. Believe in Jesus and live.
08/15 Romans 12:3
3 Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.
REALITY
Jesus is God’s everything. Without Him we can do nothing. All that we accomplish is either in Jesus and by His strength or worthless. We can do nothing without Jesus.
08/14 Philippians 4:13
13 For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.
YES
Life is hard and challenging and often attacks us but when we love Jesus and are submitted to Him He will see us through whatever we face. The key is a relationship with Jesus. Do you have a relationship with Him? If you do He will see you through any difficulty you face. Jesus is Lord.
