7/28                 John 6:35

35 Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 

PAIN

Everyone you know is struggling.  Pain is their constant companion.  Life is so hard and so harsh that no one is exempt from the pain of living.  Jesus heals that pain.  He gives us light and life for living.  He sets the captives free.  He is our life.  Jesus. 

7/27                 John 5:24

24 “I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life. 

LISTEN

Jesus calls us to listen to him.  Are you listening?  He calls us to a radical new lifestyle.  No longer are we shredded by the evil of the day, the foolishness that those dead in their trespasses and sin propagate.  Jesus is Lord and His word is final. 

7/26                 John 5:16-17

16 So the Jewish leaders began harassing Jesus for breaking the Sabbath rules. 17 But Jesus replied, “My Father is always working, and so am I.” 

HERE

Jesus is here.  He knows you and what is going on in your life.  You count with Jesus.  Give Him your heart and your obedience.  Life will change.  Peace and joy will become the new normal. 

7/25                 John 5:6

6 When Jesus saw him and knew he had been ill for a long time, he asked him, “Would you like to get well?” 

WELL

Would you like to get well?  To be healed of your sin and separation from the Lord God Almighty?  To be reclaimed from the pit of addiction to sin?  Jesus will save you and when He saves you He will deliver you from all of your sin.  Jesus takes us back, reunites us into the family of God and heals us of our sin. 

7/24                 Job 19:25

25 “But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at last. 

VICTORY

The Lord has won the victory.  He will reclaim us when he returns.  We are redeemed from Hell and perdition.  Jesus is Lord of all and He is Lord of us. 

7/23                 Joshua 10:25

25 “Don’t ever be afraid or discouraged,” Joshua told his men. “Be strong and courageous, for the LORD is going to do this to all of your enemies.”

ENEMIES

What is discouraging you?  That is your enemy.  What is making you feel second class?  That is your enemy.  Anything that makes you act or fell like you are anything but a beloved child of the Lord is your enemy.  Be encouraged.  The victory is won.  Jesus will see you through. 

7/22                 Leviticus 26:45

45 For their sakes I will remember my ancient covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of all the nations, that I might be their God. I am the LORD .” 

LORD

Jesus is the living Lord.  He died for our sin and His sacrifice paid the price that we could not pay.  The Lord was raised from the dead on the third day and He is alive today.  He forgives us and reconciles us to God the Father.  Praise the Lord for His wonderful gift of Jesus. 

7/21                 Leviticus 26:40

40 “But at last my people will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors for betraying me and being hostile toward me. 

TRUST

Trust Jesus for your salvation.  Ask Him to forgive you of your sin and come into your heart and save you.  He will be faithful to do just that.  Jesus is Lord. 

7/20                 Revelation 22:18-21

18 And I solemnly declare to everyone who hears the words of prophecy written in this book: If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book. 19 And if anyone removes any of the words from this book of prophecy, God will remove that person’s share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book. 20 He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon!” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus! 21 May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s holy people.

WORD

Learn God’s Word.  Share God’s Word.  Be the Word in your daily life.  His Word is faithful and true and you would do well to live by it. 

7/19                 1 Corinthians 15:54-58

54 Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled: “Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? ” 56 For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. 57 But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.58 So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.

WORK

Be about the Father’s business.  People need the Lord.  Tell everyone about your relationship with Jesus.  That is the story of the Gospel in us.  Love the Lord and love people-tell them about Jesus.
