AUGUST 26 – ADORE

08/26               1 Chronicles 29:11

11 Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O LORD, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things. 

ADORE

I think about the Lord all the time.  I am so overwhelmed at times by His great love.  His care and attention to my needs humbles me.  Our mighty Lord Jesus is trustworthy, tried and true.  He loves you. 

 

 

 

 

AUGUST 25 – BE

08/25               Ephesians 6:10

10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

BE

We are to be His children.  Jesus leads us and is intimately involved in our life.  Our responsibility is to let Him.  Surrender.  Walk in Him.  Be. 

 

 

AUGUST 24 – LORD

08/24               Hebrews 4:12-13

12 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.  13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.

LORD

Jesus is God.  He is the only way to the Father.  He is Lord, Lord of all!  All praise, honor and glory to HIM!

AUGUST 23 – CONFIDENT

08/23               Habakkuk 3:18-19

18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD ! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! 19 The Sovereign LORD is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights.

CONFIDENT

I can be confident about my life.  Jesus brings peace and joy as His gift for my faithfulness.  Jesus directs our steps and guides us into the right way.  Eternal life is now and we live it together with Jesus. 

AUGUST 22 – ANYTHING

08/22               Jeremiah 32:17

17“O Sovereign LORD ! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you! 

ANYTHING

Is there anything too hard for God?  No!  Our Sovereign Lord is more than able to deal with every up and down of our life.  Jesus is Lord. 

 

AUGUST 21 – BE

08/21               1 Corinthians 16:13-14

13 Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. 14 And do everything with love.

BE

We are called to live and that is facilitated if we first live in God’s presence: BE.  Until we can Be we cannot do.  Too many want to do and not be.  The truth is that if you cannot be a member of God’s family first and get to know Him and follow Him you will not survive when all you want to do is to do.  We can’t do a do until we be a be!

AUGUST 20 – JOY

08/20               Psalm 59:16

16 But as for me, I will sing about your power. Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love. For you have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress. 

JOY

Joy comes in the morning when we begin with the Lord.  Jesus seeks us immediately.  We surrender and rejoice for we belong to Him and He belongs to us.  We are a team and He has called each one of us to ministry in His creation. 

 

 

AUGUST 19 – SAFETY

08/19               Psalm 18:1-2

1 I love you, LORD ; you are my strength. 2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety. 

SAFETY

In a world of chaos and evil we can always be confident that we will find safety in the hands of the Lord.  He is actively involved in our life and in pursuing us.  Trust in the Lord with your whole heart and He will constantly remind you of His presence 

 

 

AUGUST 18 – OUTRAGEOUS

08/18               1 Chronicles 16:11

11 Search for the LORD and for his strength; continually seek him. 

OUTRAGEOUS

It is an outrageous fact that the Good News is seeking us this very moment.  We belong to the Lord and He will not surrender us to the ravages of evil.  We are His property and we are called to trust and obey and Jesus will give us His strength.   

AUGUST 17 – TRUTH

08/17               2 Thessalonians 3:3

3 But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one. 

TRUTH

The truth is that you do not have to struggle with overcoming demons and bad habits.  You can turn these over to the Lord.  Surrender and then trust are required to strengthen our inner man or woman.  Jesus is pleased when you let Him strengthen you.  Don’t forget that you cannot face the Evil One for he is a fierce adversary but the Lord Jesus has already defeated him.  Surrender.  Be faithful.  Serve the Lord.
