08/08          Psalm 145:18

The LORD is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth.

CALL

Call on the Lord. Help is often a good starting point. Talk with Him. Read Scripture if you need direction. The important thing is that you talk with the Lord.

08/07          Isaiah 60:1

“Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all to see. For the glory of the LORD rises to shine on you.

LIGHT
Jesus is the Light and His Light will fill you, guide you, strengthen you and see you through every thing you will ever face. Do not fear. Do not tremble when life looks like it is going to overrun you. Call upon Jesus and He will show you that the Lord is in control of your situation. The power of God is greater than the power of darkness for His light shines in the darkness and changes it to Godly light.

08/06          Ephesians 6:12

For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

LORD

HE is Lord. He is in control. He has won the victory. Do not fear for Jesus has already dealt with every trial and tribulation you face. The World is not in control of you. We are just passing through and Jesus is with us.

08/05          Daniel 2:21

He controls the course of world events; he removes kings and sets up other kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars.

HERE

Jesus is HERE. He will be in your life, dealing with every aspect of joy and pain that you experience. He is your strength. He gives you wisdom. He is reminding you that your life counts and that no matter what you face He will be there with you. Jesus is Lord.

08/04          Isaiah 33:6

In that day he will be your sure foundation, providing a rich store of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD will be your treasure.

LIVE

We can live our life with the sure knowledge that the Lord is faithful. He is faithful to save us unto eternity, to keep us saved, to give us wisdom, mercy, grace and wisdom so that we can live a life of joy and gratitude. An attitude of gratitude overcomes a multitude of hardship.

08/03          Psalm 33:12

What joy for the nation whose God is the LORD, whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.

NOW

We have to decide whom we will follow. We have to be the one that begins a Godly journey. Jesus is Lord and we are the ones that reach out to one another and change society and our nation. The Lord uses us to proclaim the Gospel with our life.

08/02          2 Chronicles 7:14

Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.

YOU

Only you can ask the Lord to forgive your sin. Only you can humble yourself. Real change begins at the point of gratitude and humility. Set aside your pride for you are only a vapor, here a short while and then gone. Jesus is seeking the best for your life. You seek Him.

08/01          1 Kings 8:28

Nevertheless, listen to my prayer and my plea, O LORD my God. Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is making to you today.

TALK

07/31          Colossians 4:18

Here is my greeting in my own handwriting — PAUL. Remember my chains. May the grace of God be with you.

REMEMBER

07/30          Colossians 4:16-17

After you have read this letter, pass it on to the church at Laodicea so they can read it, too. And you should read the letter I wrote to them. 17 And say to Archippus, “Be sure to carry out the work the Lord gave you.”

CARRYOUT

Carryout the work that the Father has assigned you with the full knowledge that He has given you a job that is of prime importance in the kingdom. You do HIS work. Be surrendered to His wisdom, mercy and grace for He is Lord. Do the work. Be a servant.
