01/24          Psalm 2:5-7 

Then in anger he rebukes them, terrifying them with his fierce fury. 6 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. 

CHOICE

We can choose Jesus, by faith, accept His free gift of salvation and become part of God’s family.  If we don’t choose Him we are not part of His family.  The result is enmity with God.  Do you really want to be at war with God?  Choose Him.  

01/23          Psalm 2:4 

But the one who rules in heaven laughs. The Lord scoffs at them. 

FREEDOM

The Lord is the only true God.  When He sees us run after evil and surrender our life to the pursuit of self, He knows that our end is destruction.  He is truth and power unto eternity.  The victory has been won in Jesus.  Follow Jesus.  He is Lord.  

01/22          Psalm 2:1-3 

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.” 

WICKED

The wicked stand against God.  When we bend the knee to God we discover freedom in Jesus Christ, He breaks the chains of bondage to sin.  Self-leadership when we are against God results in our finite disappointment.  When we surrender our-self in bondage to Jesus we have infinite hope.  Choose Jesus for He is the way, the truth and the life.  Jesus is Lord.  

01/21          Psalm 1:6 

For the LORD watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.

PATH

We choose the path we will walk in life.  Listen to Jesus and follow Him.  There is no other way to the Father but in Jesus Christ.  

01/20          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. 

ALONE
The wicked will traverse the days of their lives alone without God and without any help in the hour of difficulty.  Death will be ominous and there journey will end in perdition.  Seek the Lord when He might be found.  

01/19          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.

LIFE

Our life directed by the Lord is fruitful, peaceful and joy filled.  Surrender your heart to Jesus and He will direct your life.  There will be bumps and chaos but the Lord will be there with you to see you through.  Blessed be the name of the Lord.  

01/18          Psalm 1:2 

But they delight in the law of the LORD, meditating on it day and night. 

CONSTANT

There needs to be a constant conversation with the Lord.  He is here and He is interested in guiding and directing us when we will let Him.  Listen, God is speaking.  Commit your way to the Lord and He will lead you.  

01/17          Psalm 1:1

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. 

JOY

The people of God, those who follow Him are people of joy.  They are gifted by the Lord with Joy for daily living.  

01/16          Romans 13:11-14 

This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. 13 Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don’t participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy. 14 Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires.

TIME

We never have more time, it is running out.  Remember Jesus is coming back.  

01/15          Romans 13:10 

Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God’s law. 

SUCCEED
To succeed you will have to learn to love others.  Love is one of the greatest of requirements for a Christian.  If you do not love one another, you will need to get with the Lord in prayer and ask him to change you.  Love one another.
