12/3 Luke 10:29
The man wanted to justify his actions, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied with an illustration: “A Jewish man was traveling on a trip from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes and money, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road. 31 “By chance a Jewish priest came along; but when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by. 32 A Temple assistant walked over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on the other side. 33 “Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt deep pity. 34 Kneeling beside him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with medicine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him. 35 The next day he handed the innkeeper two pieces of silver and told him to take care of the man. ‘If his bill runs higher than that,’ he said, ‘I’ll pay the difference the next time I am here.’ 36 “Now which of these three would you say was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by bandits?” Jesus asked. 37 The man replied, “The one who showed him mercy.” Then Jesus said, “Yes, now go and do the same.”
WHO
Who is my neighbor? Anyone I come across. People count with Jesus therefore they should count with us. Jesus is alive and is living in us. He is calling you and me to be His hands and feet. Love people and you will be serving Jesus.
12/2 Luke 10:25-28
One day an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus by asking him this question: “Teacher, what must I do to receive eternal life?” 26 Jesus replied, “What does the law of Moses say? How do you read it?” 27 The man answered, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'” 28 “Right!” Jesus told him. “Do this and you will live!”
JESUS
Jesus is the only way to the Father. HE is God’s everything. Everything you need for life and light is found in Jesus. He died to save us from our sin. He lives to guide us safely home to the Father. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus-HE is our way for life.
12/1 Luke 10:23-24
Then when they were alone, he turned to the disciples and said, “How privileged you are to see what you have seen. 24 I tell you, many prophets and kings have longed to see and hear what you have seen and heard, but they could not.”
SEE
Today we see clearly for the moment and then we are blindsided. We could see so clearly but we totally missed the reality that now overwhelms us. Trust in Jesus. He already sees everything about us and He will prepare us for the day-each day. Let Jesus lead you.

THANKSGIVING
Holy is the Lord, worthy of all of our gratitude and thanksgiving. He is my strength, my shield, my future, my past; everything that I am and will be gives thanksgiving to the Lord.

11/27 Colossians 3:15-16
And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are all called to live in peace. And always be thankful. Let the words of Christ, in all their richness, live in your hearts and make you wise. Use his words to teach and counsel each other.

Thank you God for my salvation.
11/26 Luke 10:21-22
Then Jesus was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit and said, “O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding the truth from those who think themselves so wise and clever, and for revealing it to the childlike. Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way. 22 “My Father has given me authority over everything. No one really knows the Son except the Father, and no one really knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
AUTHORITY
Jesus has real authority. He is Lord of all creation. Father Son and Holy Ghost are three in one they know each other and are solidified in their thinking. Jesus reveals them to us. Seek wisdom from Jesus and He will give you all that you need. Seek guidance from Jesus and He will lead you where you should go. Trust in Jesus. He loves you.
11/25 Luke 10:17-20
When the seventy-two disciples returned, they joyfully reported to him, “Lord, even the demons obey us when we use your name!” 18 “Yes,” he told them, “I saw Satan falling from heaven as a flash of lightning! 19 And I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you. 20 But don’t rejoice just because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered as citizens of heaven.”
REGISTERED
We are registered in the Book of Life and are citizens of Heaven. The Lord will not forget us. He sees everything that is happening to us. Jesus will change your life and make you a part of a life giving organization-the family of God. Jesus loves you.
11/24 Luke 10:15-16
And you people of Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? No, you will be brought down to the place of the dead. ” 16 Then he said to the disciples, “Anyone who accepts your message is also accepting me. And anyone who rejects you is rejecting me. And anyone who rejects me is rejecting God who sent me.”
ACCEPT
We are called to accept the Lord and indeed we have accepted the Lord. Jesus will not overlook our needs. Jesus will use us where needs us. Do not fear what the world fears. Jesus is Lord of all things and He will be Lord of your life.
