10/30          Isaiah 45:9

9 “What sorrow awaits those who argue with their Creator.
    Does a clay pot argue with its maker?
Does the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying,
    ‘Stop, you’re doing it wrong!’
Does the pot exclaim,
    ‘How clumsy can you be?’

WHAT?

Would you argue with God?

Would you question your maker?

Do you really think that the Lord God Almighty needs your input?

Serve the Lord with gladness.

Praise His Holy name. 

Jesus is Lord!

Pray for your enemies. 

Help the poor. 

Be Jesus to a watching world.

10/29          Psalm 115:1

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
    but to your name goes all the glory
    for your unfailing love and faithfulness.

LORD

Lord, You deserve all the glory. 

I do not. 

I seek to glorify you, Father.

You are Lord and there is no other.

To You is all the glory unto eternity.

Praise God, He is Lord all by Himself. 

10/28          Mark 10:45

45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

GIVE

God gave His very best-Himself.

He did what we could not do-save ourselves.

He calls you and me to care for others-to guide them with the Gospel.

Tell your story. 

Love others. 

Give the best of yourself. 

10/27          Psalm 149:4

4 For the Lord delights in his people;

God’s focus is on His people. 

He particularly loves the humble,

So much that crowns them with His victory.

10/26          Philippians 4:20

20 Now all glory to God our Father forever and ever! Amen.

GLORY

God’s great and infinite beauty,

His loveliness and grandeur,

His character and worth,

And His many perfections.  

God is God all by Himself,

And He is the absolute manifestation of Himself.  

10/25          Galatians 5:13

13 For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.

USE

We have a choice.

Useable to God or a

Self-serving focus.

We die every day.

Who will you follow and serve, 

Jesus or self?

10/24          Luke 9:48

48 Then he said to them, “Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf[a] welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me also welcomes my Father who sent me. Whoever is the least among you is the greatest.”

CARE

We are called to care for one another. 

Value people.

Help people.

Be the hands and feet of Jesus. 

Say little and grin a lot. 

Love one another.

18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting for those who belong to the Lord.

19 Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly.

LOVE

Love for one another.

That is the call.

Do unto others.

Be there.

Help each other.

10/22          John 3:30

30 He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.

JESUS

Messiah has come in Jesus Christ.

God stepped off His throne and came as a baby born in Bethlehem.

He lived a perfect life-sinless. 

He died to pay the price for our sin.

The power of God raised Him from the grave.

He is at the right hand of the Father interceding for us right now.   

10/21          Psalm 25:8-9

8 The Lord is good and does what is right;
    he shows the proper path to those who go astray.
9 He leads the humble in doing right,
    teaching them his way.

GOOD

The Lord is good in every way.

He is always good.

He has never not been good.

The Lord is good, and He is good to me His child.
