God Of Peace

 

July 24

GOD OF PEACE – The God of Peace is the God of Rest. If you truly want to know our Lord’s peace and perfect rest abiding with you, it is imperative that you put faith and trust in Him and in Him alone. Listen to His ever-living and ever-active Word, and do as He commands. The works of faith are never the works of fear. Peace and fear are opposed to each other.

 

Lord, You have been my Example, Teacher, Friend and more. I ask that You will help me to do as You say that I may know Your perfect peace and rest. Amen!

 

Read Matthew 11: 29 - 30

 

Hide God's Word

 

July 23

HIDE GOD’S WORD – We are called to lay up or hide God’s Word in our hearts so that we might not sin against Him. We, like the psalmist, want to know how we can keep our walk clean and pure. The answer comes directly; by heeding God’s Word. To accomplish this, we must hide God’s Word in our hearts.

 

Lord, show me how to hide Your Word in my heart that I may not offend You. I know that Your Word builds faith, quickens souls, cleanses hearts and renews fallen spirits. Teach me Lord and grant me learning. Amen!

 

Read Psalm 119: 9 – 12

 

 

 

Have Mercy Lord

 

July 22

HAVE MERCY LORD – Father, I come in this moment, asking for mercy, and relief from the enemies that are slowly eating away at my faith and trust in You. From all around, there are attacks and I am not strong to withstand them. You are my only help and sure hope. I know that You came, suffered and died for sinners. I come because I am a sinner and You are my Saviour. I relinquish all my self-righteousness and pride Lord, that I may learn Your lessons, and receive Your grace. Have mercy Lord!   

 

Have mercy upon me Lord, and grant me strength to persevere. Amen!

 

Read Psalm 30: 8 - 10

 

 

God Confirms His Word

 

July 21

GOD CONFIRMS HIS WORD – A fact that must never elude or escape you, is this. God is always ready and willing to convincingly confirm His Word. He never, ever fails to reward, confirm and show up, every single person in Him, who believes, without reservation. God is quick and delighted to confirm His Word in His believers, for He is His Living, working Word. 

 

Thank You Lord for always having us work alongside You and confirming Your work in us. Amen!

 

Read Mark 16: 20

 

 

Peace

 

July 20

PEACE - Peace is a huge word and it can be a most elusive word. Many people, believers and non-believers alike, are craving peace of mind, spending huge sums of money and investing precious, valuable time, in trying to find peace. Alas! With all these valiant and focused efforts, too many remain void of such lasting peace. Why is this the case? It is so because true, lasting peace is only found in God, who Himself is Peace. Know God; know peace.

 

God of all peace, please come into my heart and mind and grant me Your peace. Amen!

 

Read Isaiah 26: 3 - 4

 

 

 

You Are God's Child

 

July 19

YOU ARE GOD’S CHILD – Why are you God’s child? Always remember that you are called, child of God, only because of His lavish, saving love for you. It has absolutely nothing to do with you, or with your works - good or bad - that God calls you His child. Why suddenly let your unworthy self, be a hindrance to being a child of God? You were always unworthy. Turn to God, repent and receive His pardoning grace.

 

Father, I am Your sinful child, forgive me and help me please. Amen!

 

Read Psalm 103: 8 - 14

 

 

Safe With Jesus

 

I’m safe with Jesus in life and in death,

In the highest heights or the deepest depth,

For what can snatch me from His loving arms?

Amidst life’s evils, all my fears He calms,

My Jesus is Lord over all the earth,

All other powers are of little worth,

Naught can compare with Jesus my refuge,

When trials are insurmountably huge,

When all around me, troubles mount and pile,

And temptations come, they last but a while,

For I’m assured of Christ’s strength given me,

To resist the devil and he will flee,

And when I’m too weak a burden to bear,

As I’m laden down with many a care,   

When each new day brings with it new sorrows,

And worry would mark my brow with furrows,

I hide in Jesus, under His safe wings,

And receive the calm and comfort it brings,

To trust in Jesus: Unspeakable peace!

Safe in Jesus, my soul knows sweet release.

Amen!

 

Quench Your Thirst

 

July 18

QUENCH YOUR THIRST – Are you thirsty? Then listen!

No one need go hungry and none need thirst,

As springs of living water on the earth doth burst,

Ever flowing are the waters which the Lord has sent,

They will not dry out nor will they be spent;

Beasts of the field, He supplies with water,

He’ll supply you from His fount, forever.

 

Thank You Holy Spirit, for being our everlasting fountain of life-giving water. Amen!

Read Psalm 104: 10 - 11

 

Eyes On God

 

July 17

EYES ON GOD – Are you going through a period of unrelenting attacks in body, mind and spirit? Do you feel as though you are being ambushed, morning, noon and night? Human efforts to help you have proven unsuccessful and the situation is getting progressively worse. Look up to God! Lift your weak, frightened, helpless eyes to Him and He will acknowledge you. He will not neglect you.

 

To You I lift up my eyes O Lord, for there is no one else to help me, but You. There is no other power and authority to save me from the enemy. Amen!
