11/09 Psalm 18:3-6
I will call on the LORD, who is worthy of praise, for he saves me from my enemies. The ropes of death surrounded me; the floods of destruction swept over me. The grave wrapped its ropes around me; death itself stared me in the face. But in my distress I cried out to the LORD; yes, I prayed to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry reached his ears.
HEARS
The Lord God hears me as I speak to Him. Jesus has brought me into His family and Father, Son and Holy Spirit know me. They are concerned about every aspect of my life. In distress I cry out and He hears me. In joy I express myself to Him and He rejoices with me. The Lord loves each one of us and is intimately involved in every second of our life. One day we will stand face to face with Jesus and He will beckon us to come and join Him in eternity. The Lord hears us and responds to us whatever our need.

11/08 Psalm 18:2
The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the strength of my salvation, and my stronghold.
EVERYTHING
Everything I need for daily life, for nurture, protection, peace, joy and strength I have in Jesus Christ. Jesus is God’s everything. Jesus is with me. He goes ahead of me. I am complete in Christ.

11/07 Psalm 18:1
For the choir director: A psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. He sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD rescued him from all his enemies and from Saul. I love you, LORD; you are my strength.
STRENGTH
When you are feeling low and life is overwhelming cry out to the Lord. He will hear you and give you strength to face the day or the situation you find yourself in. His strength will give you a confidence that will encourage you as the Lord rescues you.

11/06 I Thessalonians 1:7-10
As a result, you yourselves became an example to all the Christians in Greece. And now the word of the Lord is ringing out from you to people everywhere, even beyond Greece, for wherever we go we find people telling us about your faith in God. We don’t need to tell them about it, for they themselves keep talking about the wonderful welcome you gave us and how you turned away from idols to serve the true and living God. And they speak of how you are looking forward to the coming of God’s Son from heaven — Jesus, whom God raised from the dead. He is the one who has rescued us from the terrors of the coming judgment.
RESCUED
Yes, we are rescued from an eternal separation from the Lord. We are members of His household, forgiven, sanctified, and soon one day glorified. We will be with Him in eternity. Whatever happens today, tomorrow will come and we can have hope in HIM, the Lord Jesus Christ for He occupies our future and reaches to our present. When we cry out for help our help is at hand. Trust in the Lord and He will save you and make you a part of His family.

11/05 I Thessalonians 1:6
So you received the message with joy from the Holy Spirit in spite of the severe suffering it brought you. In this way, you imitated both us and the Lord.
TRUST
Life moves at a fast pace sometimes passing us bye. Do not fear for whatever you are facing the Lord knows. When you hear His Word, experience His presence, joy is the result. Rejoice in the Lord always. Rejoice.

11/04 I Thessalonians 1:4-5
We know that God loves you, dear brothers and sisters, and that he chose you to be his own people. For when we brought you the Good News, it was not only with words but also with power, for the Holy Spirit gave you full assurance that what we said was true. And you know that the way we lived among you was further proof of the truth of our message.
POWER
The Holy Spirit communicates with us with real POWER. The Lord wants us to understand and He will reveal Himself to us. His POWER speaks to our soul and gives us an immediate awareness of His presence. His POWER affirms His activity in our hearts. Praise the Lord. Thank you Lord for your love for us.

11/03 I Thessalonians 1:3
As we talk to our God and Father about you, we think of your faithful work, your loving deeds, and your continual anticipation of the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ANTICIPATION
We live with anticipation of the return of Jesus. It could happen today. The question for me and for you is am I ready? Is my life what I want it to be? Am I what the Lord wants me to be? Okay, I can be. Step one is submission. Set aside self and listen to Jesus. Step two is obedience. Trust and obey for there is no other way for us to live a Christ like life.

11/02 I Thessalonians 1:2
We always thank God for all of you and pray for you constantly.
PRAY
Pray today for those around you. Pray for the hurting. Develop a habit of being in constant pray for everyone you meet. People need prayer. We need prayer. Part of our daily work is to be in prayer for the people we know and for those in need. Pray for me and I will pray for you.

11/01 1 Thessalonians 1:1
This letter is from Paul, Silas, and Timothy. It is written to the church in Thessalonica, you who belong to God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. May his grace and peace be yours.
GRACE
Grace is God giving us what we need and cannot earn. The Lord has grace for you today sufficient to meet your need. His grace is overflowing towards each one of us and we are blessed to be the recipients of His grace. Today stop for a moment and thank God for His precious, bounteous, overflowing grace towards you. God loves you.

10/31 Psalm 17:14-15
Save me by your mighty hand, O LORD, from those whose only concern is earthly gain. May they have their punishment in full. May their children inherit more of the same, and may the judgment continue to their children’s children. But because I have done what is right, I will see you. When I awake, I will be fully satisfied, for I will see you face to face.
SAVED
Do what is right, ask Jesus into your heart. If you have asked Jesus into your heart you will never be at the mercy of the world. Your life is hidden in Christ with God. The power of the world cannot shake you. Jesus will never forsake you. The Lord is a mighty warrior and He fights your fights for you.
