3/28 Genesis 12:1-3
1 Then the LORD told Abram, “Leave your country, your relatives, and your father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you. 2 I will cause you to become the father of a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and I will make you a blessing to others. 3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
PROMISE
God’s children are the people of promise. The Lord promises to take care of you from this point on until forever. He will not leave you nor forsake you. He loves you beyond your ability to comprehend. If you have asked Christ to come into your life and save you, you now have a Father who loves you and is always seeking your best good.

3/27 Deuteronomy 8:1-3
1 “Be careful to obey all the commands I am giving you today. Then you will live and multiply, and you will enter and occupy the land the LORD swore to give your ancestors. 2 Remember how the LORD your God led you through the wilderness for forty years, humbling you and testing you to prove your character, and to find out whether or not you would really obey his commands. 3 Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors. He did it to teach you that people need more than bread for their life; real life comes by feeding on every word of the LORD.
OBEY
Problems come and go but this never changes: God’s Word is true and life giving. Read His Word and apply it to your life. The Living Word will be used by the Lord to change you.

3/26 Matthew 9:18-25
18 One day as Jesus was walking along the shore beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers — Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew — fishing with a net, for they were commercial fishermen. 19 Jesus called out to them, “Come, be my disciples, and I will show you how to fish for people!” 20 And they left their nets at once and went with him. 21 A little farther up the shore he saw two other brothers, James and John, sitting in a boat with their father, Zebedee, mending their nets. And he called them to come, too. 22 They immediately followed him, leaving the boat and their father behind. 23 Jesus traveled throughout Galilee teaching in the synagogues, preaching everywhere the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed people who had every kind of sickness and disease. 24 News about him spread far beyond the borders of Galilee so that the sick were soon coming to be healed from as far away as Syria. And whatever their illness and pain, or if they were possessed by demons, or were epileptics, or were paralyzed — he healed them all. 25 Large crowds followed him wherever he went — people from Galilee, the Ten Towns, Jerusalem, from all over Judea, and from east of the Jordan River.
HEALER
Jesus is the healer of mankind. He can fix the thing that is wrong with us-sin. He shed His blood on the cross for us and His blood redeems us from slavery to sin. Christ forgives us of our sin and gives us His righteousness.

3/25 Matthew 4:9-17
9 “I will give it all to you,” he said, “if you will only kneel down and worship me.” 10 “Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God; serve only him.’ ” 11 Then the Devil went away, and angels came and cared for Jesus. 12 When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he left Judea and returned to Galilee. 13 But instead of going to Nazareth, he went to Capernaum, beside the Sea of Galilee, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali. 14 This fulfilled Isaiah’s prophecy: 15 “In the land of Zebulun and of Naphtali, beside the sea, beyond the Jordan River — in Galilee where so many Gentiles live — 16 the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light. And for those who lived in the land where death casts its shadow, a light has shined.” 17 From then on, Jesus began to preach, “Turn from your sins and turn to God, because the Kingdom of Heaven is near. ”
LIGHT
Jesus is the LIGHT of the world. In Him is life and His light guides us to Him and into living a Christ like life in the world. His light shows us the way. His light equips us to survive in a dark sin stained world. Jesus is Lord.

3/24 Matthew 4:1-8
1 Then Jesus was led out into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tempted there by the Devil. 2 For forty days and forty nights he ate nothing and became very hungry. 3 Then the Devil came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, change these stones into loaves of bread.” 4 But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People need more than bread for their life; they must feed on every word of God.’ ” 5 Then the Devil took him to Jerusalem, to the highest point of the Temple, 6 and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off! For the Scriptures say, ‘He orders his angels to protect you. And they will hold you with their hands to keep you from striking your foot on a stone.’ ” 7 Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘Do not test the Lord your God.’ ” 8 Next the Devil took him to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him the nations of the world and all their glory.
YES
Yes you can choose the Lord. Yes He will help you. Yes he will always be with you and you will never be left alone. The power of God in our life will change everything about our life. Choose Jesus.

3/23 Genesis 3:20-24
20 Then Adam named his wife Eve, because she would be the mother of all people everywhere. 21 And the LORD God made clothing from animal skins for Adam and his wife. 22 Then the LORD God said, “The people have become as we are, knowing everything, both good and evil. What if they eat the fruit of the tree of life? Then they will live forever!” 23 So the LORD God banished Adam and his wife from the Garden of Eden, and he sent Adam out to cultivate the ground from which he had been made. 24 After banishing them from the garden, the LORD God stationed mighty angelic beings to the east of Eden. And a flaming sword flashed back and forth, guarding the way to the tree of life.
CHOICE
Adam and Eve made a terrible choice and were banished from the Garden of Eden. We have the opportunity to choose Jesus and correct Adam and Eve’s wrong choice. Choose Jesus and your life will be reunited to the Lord.

3/22 Genesis 3:13-19
13 Then the LORD God asked the woman, “How could you do such a thing?””The serpent tricked me,” she replied. “That’s why I ate it.” 14 So the LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you will be punished. You are singled out from all the domestic and wild animals of the whole earth to be cursed. You will grovel in the dust as long as you live, crawling along on your belly. 15 From now on, you and the woman will be enemies, and your offspring and her offspring will be enemies. He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” 16 Then he said to the woman, “You will bear children with intense pain and suffering. And though your desire will be for your husband, he will be your master.” 17 And to Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate the fruit I told you not to eat, I have placed a curse on the ground. All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it. 18 It will grow thorns and thistles for you, though you will eat of its grains. 19 All your life you will sweat to produce food, until your dying day. Then you will return to the ground from which you came. For you were made from dust, and to the dust you will return.”
SIN
We are dead in our trespasses and sin. Jesus died for us to forgive us of our sin and make us alive in Him. We ask Jesus to save us and He will save us. When we come into the family of God we are different-we are alive in Christ and He lives in us. We are no longer alone and nothing can separate us from the love of Christ.

3/21 Genesis 3:8-12
8 Toward evening they heard the LORD God walking about in the garden, so they hid themselves among the trees. 9 The LORD God called to Adam, “Where are you?” 10 He replied, “I heard you, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked.” 11 “Who told you that you were naked?” the LORD God asked. “Have you eaten the fruit I commanded you not to eat?” 12 “Yes,” Adam admitted, “but it was the woman you gave me who brought me the fruit, and I ate it.”
SIN
We generally do not understand the magnitude of sin. It is brutal and devastating and is always seeking to destroy us. Ask the Lord to forgive your sin. Ask Him to help you recognize sin in your own life and to give you the strength to seek His forgiveness and turn from your sin.

3/20 Genesis 3:1-7
1 Now the serpent was the shrewdest of all the creatures the LORD God had made. “Really?” he asked the woman. “Did God really say you must not eat any of the fruit in the garden?” 2 “Of course we may eat it,” the woman told him. 3 “It’s only the fruit from the tree at the center of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God says we must not eat it or even touch it, or we will die.” 4 “You won’t die!” the serpent hissed. 5 “God knows that your eyes will be opened when you eat it. You will become just like God, knowing everything, both good and evil.” 6 The woman was convinced. The fruit looked so fresh and delicious, and it would make her so wise! So she ate some of the fruit. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her. Then he ate it, too. 7 At that moment, their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they strung fig leaves together around their hips to cover themselves.
SELF
The hardest thing we will ever face is to set aside our prerogatives. God is first. We have to learn how to bend the knee and accept a servant’s role as we live our Christian life before a watching world. The world hates us. The Lord loves us. If we will listen to the Lord it will be easy to navigate our daily life and the Lord will keep us safe.

3/19 1 Peter 3:17-22
17 Remember, it is better to suffer for doing good, if that is what God wants, than to suffer for doing wrong! 18 Christ also suffered when he died for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners that he might bring us safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit. 19 So he went and preached to the spirits in prison — 20 those who disobeyed God long ago when God waited patiently while Noah was building his boat. Only eight people were saved from drowning in that terrible flood. 21 And this is a picture of baptism, which now saves you by the power of Jesus Christ’s resurrection. Baptism is not a removal of dirt from your body; it is an appeal to God from a clean conscience. 22 Now Christ has gone to heaven. He is seated in the place of honor next to God, and all the angels and authorities and powers are bowing before him.
OBEY
Obey the Lord. Do the next right thing and you will stay out of trouble and difficulty. Suffer quietly. Live gently. Let the Lord guide and direct your path every day. Live one day at a time. Set aside your cares and worries and let the Lord strengthen you.
