Today's Good News

OCTOBER 20 – PROCLAIM

10/20 Colossians 4:3
Don’t forget to pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to preach about his secret plan — that Christ is also for you Gentiles. That is why I am here in chains.
PROCLAIM
Proclaim the Good News. Jesus died for our sin. His death paid the price for our sin. He shed His blood for us taking upon him the sin that each one of us committed and yet He was without sin. Resurrected by the power of God Jesus is alive right now willing to come into our life and save us. Jesus is Lord.

OCTOBER 19 – RESPONSIBILITY

10/19 Colossians 4:1-2
You slave owners must be just and fair to your slaves. Remember that you also have a Master — in heaven. Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.
RESPONSIBILITY
We are to be just and fair to everyone. We cannot claim that certain ones are exempt. People count with Jesus. Jesus died for people including you. Remember that you are responsible. There are no exceptions-each on of us is guilty for our sin.

OCTOBER 18 – SECURITY

10/18 Psalm 16:9-11
No wonder my heart is filled with joy, and my mouth shouts his praises! My body rests in safety. For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your godly one to rot in the grave. You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.
SECURITY
Money or power cannot bring security. Popularity or intelligence cannot bring security. The only real security we can find is in Jesus Christ. Jesus gives us life and light for living. He is our security.

OCTOBER 17 – CONFIDENCE

10/17 Psalm 16:7-8
I will bless the LORD who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
CONFIDENCE
I will trust the Lord. I will place my confidence in Him. He is my rock, my strength. The Lord is my peace, my joy. I love the Lord and He is always thinking about me. Every thought the Lord has towards me is a thought for good. Jesus is Lord and I submit my life to Him.

OCTOBER 16 – LIFE

10/16 Psalm 16:5-6
LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine. The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance!
LIFE
Your life belongs to the Lord. When you submit to Him He will change your life. Everything about your life will change. Where there was poverty there will be prosperity. Joy will replace heartache. Failure will become success. Trust in the Lord and He will do it.

OCTOBER 15 – FALSE

10/15 Psalm 16:4
Those who chase after other gods will be filled with sorrow. I will not take part in their sacrifices or even speak the names of their gods.
FALSE
Any god but the Lord is a false god. The Lord God is the only God and He will not tolerate mankind’s foolishness. Trust in the Lord. Stay away from other gods. Do not bow down to them, do not submit to them, instead let Jesus have control of your life.

OCTOBER 14 – SAFE

10/14 Psalm 16:1-3
A psalm of David. Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge. I said to the LORD, “You are my Master! All the good things I have are from you.” The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them!
SAFE
The Lord is actively concerned with our life. HE knows our past, present and future. Submit yourself to the Lord and He will take care of you. Try Him. Let the Lord have control of your life and He will watch over you.

OCTOBER 13 – SIN

10/13 Psalm 15:2-5
Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right, speaking the truth from sincere hearts. Those who refuse to slander others or harm their neighbors or speak evil of their friends. Those who despise persistent sinners, and honor the faithful followers of the LORD and keep their promises even when it hurts. Those who do not charge interest on the money they lend, and who refuse to accept bribes to testify against the innocent. Such people will stand firm forever.
SIN
Sins are symptoms of sin. Sin is refusing to acknowledge God-doing life on our own. Sins are the actions that sinners take. It is impossible for us to get free of sin. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. The wages of sin is death. When we ask Christ into our heart He cleanses us from all sin, freeing us from bondage to sin. Christ frees us from sin but when we do sin as soon as we recognize our sin we should confess it and stop it. Jesus loves us and will walk with us minute by minute each day. When we are in His presence it is easy to recognize our sins and to quickly change.

OCTOBER 12 – WHO

10/12 Psalm 15:1
A psalm of David. Who may worship in your sanctuary, LORD? Who may enter your presence on your holy hill?
WHO
Christ is our righteousness. He is the reason we can some into the presence of the Lord. Who can worship in the Lord’s sanctuary: all who are saved can. Whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.

OCTOBER 11 – PROTECT

10/11 Psalm 14:6-7
The wicked frustrate the plans of the oppressed, but the LORD will protect his people. Oh, that salvation would come from Mount Zion to rescue Israel! For when the LORD restores his people, Jacob will shout with joy, and Israel will rejoice.
PROTECT
The Lord will protect you. You can believe this. You can talk with the Lord about this for He loves you deeply. Live your life with a Godward attitude seeking to constantly be in His presence. Listen to Jesus. Seek His guidance and comfort for He cares for you.
