11/05          Colossians 4:2

2 Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. 

PRAY

It is God’s will that we pray.  He encourages us to pray.  He charges us that we should pray.  You and I must pray.  Pray. 

11/04          1 Chronicles 16:34

34 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. 

THANKS

Give thanks to the Lord for all he has done for you.  The Lord is our God and He is the one that we should be praising all the time. Great is our Lord and worthy of all of our praise. 

11/03          Colossians 3:17

17 And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father. 

ME
I am a Christian and everyone knows it.  I too often don’t think about being a representative and bull my way through this situation or that situation then at the end of the day I repent and go and do the same thing the next day.  I am a rep even when I’m not doing right I’m a bad rep.  When I repent, it means I change.  Do the right thing and do it over and over again.  Jesus is Lord. 

11/02          Colossians 3:15

15 And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. 

RULE

I want the Lord to rule my life except when I want to do it myself.  I always get in trouble because just after I submit to His rule I take up my spirits and go and do my own thing.  The Christ life is easy to talk about and difficult to accomplish because we are so human and inclined to be egotistic and self-centered.  Serve the Lord with gladness for He knows what we are doing and where we are. 

11/01          1 Thessalonians 5:18

18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

TRUST

I believe the Lord and trust Him to do exactly as He says no matter the current circumstances. I know the He will do the best for me and trust Him to do that.  I believe you Lord, help my unbelief. 

10/31               Jeremiah 31:18

18 I have heard Israel saying, ‘You disciplined me severely, like a calf that needs training for the yoke. Turn me again to you and restore me, for you alone are the LORD my God.

BRING

Lord discipline me and bring me back in to your presence.  You know all things and You know my heart-keep us Lord or we would disappear.  Help us Father for we face desperate situations on an almost daily basis. Take our worry and give us Your presence. 

10/30               Judges 4:3

3 Sisera, who had 900 iron chariots, ruthlessly oppressed the Israelites for twenty years. Then the people of Israel cried out to the LORD for help.

HELP

The Lord will help you.  Cry out to him about your need.  Let Him know of your desperation.  He will hear you and will help.  The trustworthy and He is with us all the time.  He will reach out His hand and protect you.  He never deserts His children.  Lord Jesus help us. 

10/29               Ezekiel 14:10-11

10 False prophets and those who seek their guidance will all be punished for their sins. 11 In this way, the people of Israel will learn not to stray from me, polluting themselves with sin. They will be my people, and I will be their God. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken!’”

BE

Be sure your sin will find you out.  The wheels of justice grind slowly with the Lord but they do grind thorough and complete. Know that Jesus loves you and stands ready to forgive you and bring you into the family of God but you have to choose. Don’t wait until it is too late to choose. 

10/28               Job 34:31-32

31 “Why don’t people say to God, ‘I have sinned, but I will sin no more’? 32 Or ‘I don’t know what evil I have done—tell me. If I have done wrong, I will stop at once’?

REPENT

Repent is not a thought it is an action.  Lord I have sinned doing this or this and I wil change immediately.  Forgive me.  Help me change-Your child.  Be quick to repent.  Keep short accounts with the Lord.

10/27               Hosea 2:6-7

6 “For this reason I will fence her in with thorn bushes. I will block her path with a wall to make her lose her way. 7 When she runs after her lovers, she won’t be able to catch them. She will search for them but not find them. Then she will think, ‘I might as well return to my husband, for I was better off with him than I am now.’

CARE

The Lord cares for you.  Once you are His child HE will never lose you.  His love is overwhelming.  Why is the Lord so concerned about us?  Because He declares that He is.  He is our wonderful and mighty Lord.  He is seeking to give us the wisdom we need to organize our lives.
