2/01 Psalm 139:1
O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.
KNOWLEDGE
The Lord knows more about us than we know ourselves. He is intimately involved in the details of our life. When we are facing a challenge the Lord is already there willing to give us the wisdom and strength that we need. Do not fear, the Lord is with us.
2/02 Psalm 139:2
You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my every thought when far away.
CONFESSION
The Lord knows what is going on with us. When we sin by commission or omission the confession of that sin is made to the Lord who knows what has happened before we tell Him. Jesus is seeking to meet our needs and hear our confession at any time. He is walking through life with us. Jesus is here.
2/03 Psalm 139:3
You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment you know where I am.
GUIDE
The Lord is able and willing to guide our daily walk. He is waiting for us to ask Him to help us with the direction we are to take today. He will never forsake us nor will He ignore us. In your daily quiet time as you begin your day ask Jesus what He would have you do. Is there someone due an apology? Is there a verse to be memorized that will help you to stand in the face of the unknown today? Listen as the Lord speaks to you and obey Him.
2/04 Psalm 139:4-6
You know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD. You both precede and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to know!
WONDER
We are special to Jesus. We are on His agenda every day. When we woke up He already wanted to help us. We are beloved of God. He loves us and seeks to equip us to have an abundant life.
2/05 Psalm 139:7-12
I can never escape from your spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the place of the dead, you are there. If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night –but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are both alike to you.
BELOVED
We are beloved by Jesus. We belong to Him and our life however out of control it may seem is never beyond His love. The Lord holds on to us. He knows where we are. We belong to Him for eternity.
2/06 Psalm 139:13-14
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous – and how well I know it.
UNIQUE
We are unique and original. The Lord made us this way. He knows us from before our beginning and will know us into eternity. We are special and made especially according to His plan. When we let Him have control of our life His plan will use us in His special way.
2/07 Psalm 139:15-16
You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
CONTROL
Do not fear. God is in control. The world and your life may seem chaotic but the Lord is in control. He never wastes a hurt. Our life is never to the point that the Lord cannot use us.
2/08 John 14:1
“Don’t be troubled. You trust God, now trust in me.
LORD
Jesus is Lord. He is trustworthy. We can trust Him with our life. He is worthy of our praise and worship. All that we have and are belong to Him. Jesus is Lord. In fact and faith we can live our lives in accordance with His guidance. We can fully devote our life to Him. Jesus is Lord.
2/09 John 14:2
There are many rooms in my Father’s home, and I am going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell you plainly.
PLACE
We have a place here and there. We will never be strangers. We are not alone. The Lord is with us now and forever. Think with me for just a moment-Jesus is here right now. He is able to deal with what you are facing this moment. Talk with Him and trust Him with your life. You will never again be alone.
2/10 John 14:3-4
When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know where I am going and how to get there.”
APPOINTMENT
We have an appointment with Jesus. That appointment can be unto life. On that day He will meet us and usher us into eternity and into the presence of the Father. Turn your life over to Christ. He will never disappoint you. Jesus will never leave you.
2/11 John 14:5-7
“No, we don’t know, Lord,” Thomas said. “We haven’t any idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you had known who I am, then you would have known who my Father is. From now on you know him and have seen him!”
REVEALS
Jesus reveals the Father to us. He is Lord. When we know Him we know the Father. The Holy Spirit equips us to know Him and grow in Him. We have everything we need in Jesus.
2/12 John 14:8-9
Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and we will be satisfied.” Jesus replied, “Philip, don’t you even yet know who I am, even after all the time I have been with you? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking to see him?
CONFIDENCE
We can have confidence in Jesus. Our relationship with the Lord is complete in Jesus. We have access to all of the resources of eternity in Christ. He is able to save us and give us a life with value and purpose. He has a plan for our life that perfectly fits our soul.
2/13 John 14:10
Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I say are not my own, but my Father who lives in me does his work through me.
POWER
The power of the Lord is in Jesus. He is our Savior and partner. He is our Lord and our leader. We will never outgrow our need for Jesus nor His ability to meet our needs. Jesus is the One. He is the Way the Truth and the Life.
2/14 John 14:11
Just believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Or at least believe because of what you have seen me do.
ACTIVE
Jesus is active in our world. He is seeking the lost right now. He would that no one be lost, that all might be saved. He will reveal Himself to us. If we are seeking an answer He will provide it. He does not hide from us. He is more interested than we are in the plan he has for our life. Ask Him. You will not be disappointed.
2/15 John 14:12-14
“The truth is, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, because the work of the Son brings glory to the Father. Yes, ask anything in my name, and I will do it!
PROMISE
When we are weak He is strong. Ask Jesus for what you need. This isn’t a trick. It isn’t a promise just for certain people. This is His promise made to you. Ask Jesus for what you need and He will meet your need.
2/16 John 14:15-17
“If you love me, obey my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world at large cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you do, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.
OBEDIENCE
Jesus says that if we will ask He will save us. The results of His salvation is an obedient life. When the Lord lives in us His image will be reflected by the way we live. The Lord loves obedience more than sacrifice.
2/17 John 14:18-19
No, I will not abandon you as orphans – I will come to you. In just a little while the world will not see me again, but you will. For I will live again, and you will, too.
JESUS
Jesus is alive. He lives in us. His life gives us life. Eternal life is not something that humans can comprehend but even so we have eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Accept Jesus and live.
2/18 John 14:20
When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
RECOGNITION

2/19 John 14:21
Those who obey my commandments are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them, and I will love them. And I will reveal myself to each one of them.”
LOVE
Love is an action, a commitment. Obedience is the evidence of the Lord in you and your submission to Him. The Christian life is not passive. It is filled with activity that is devoted to and submissive to the rule of Christ in our life.
2/20 John 14:22-23
Judas (not Judas Iscariot, but the other disciple with that name) said to him, “Lord, why are you going to reveal yourself only to us and not to the world at large?” Jesus replied, “All those who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and live with them.
MASTER
We come to Jesus because we recognize our need for Him. Our relationship with Jesus is a one on one relationship. There are no grandchildren in the family of God. He is seeking us that we might know Him. When I know Jesus I will know myself and be equipped to live a life of victory in Jesus.
2/21 John 14:24
Anyone who doesn’t love me will not do what I say. And remember, my words are not my own. This message is from the Father who sent me.

His Word to mankind is that we were created in love with a real purpose for our life. The Lord is worthy of all praise and honor and glory. He loves us so much that He paid the price for our redemption because we couldn’t pay it ourselves. Jesus is Lord.
2/22 John 14:25-26

WISDOM
The Holy Spirit will give us the wisdom we need to live a life like Jesus. The Lord resides in us and will not leave us. He guides us in the way we should go and equips us to face the quandaries of life. We are not alone. We do not live our life in a vacuum. The Lord is with us.

JESUS
He died for me. He died for you. He came to pay the price for our sin. He did it willingly. He did it perfectly. Now He offers us freedom from sin and shame as His gift to us so that we might have eternal life. Jesus is the gift of God’s love for mankind.
2/25 John 14:29
I have told you these things before they happen so that you will believe when they do happen.

2/26 John 14:30-31
“I don’t have much more time to talk to you, because the prince of this world approaches. He has no power over me, but I will do what the Father requires of me, so that the world will know that I love the Father. Come, let’s be going.
ACTION
His love was demonstrated by His action. He cared and He gave. Love is not a feeling. Love comes with great responsibility. Love involves suffering. Love comes with pain. He gave the ultimate sacrifice-His life.
2/27 Psalm 139:17
How precious are your thoughts about me, O God! They are innumerable!
FOCUS
The Lord is focused on us. He is interested that everyone get a chance to be saved. He would that no one be left behind. He chooses you and me to represent Him. Everyone we speak to we speak as His agent. The questions for each one of us is are we concerned about those around us? Do we really care about others? Is my life focused on me? Or am I willing to serve the Lord?
2/28 Psalm 139:18
I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up in the morning, you are still with me!
THOUGHTS
What do you think about? All of His thoughts are for us. He is concerned for our well being. He is committed to us having a victorious life. He is available for us always. What do you think about?
2/29 Psalm 139:19-24
O God, if only you would destroy the wicked! Get out of my life, you murderers! They blaspheme you; your enemies take your name in vain. O LORD, shouldn’t I hate those who hate you? Shouldn’t I despise those who resist you? Yes, I hate them with complete hatred, for your enemies are my enemies. Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
LIFE
We have a partner in real life-it is Jesus. We can be ourselves and talk with Him about the things of life that disturb us or bless us. We can be real with Jesus. He knows all about us and loves us. He is the consummate reality person.
