Live God's Promise

 

March 25

LIVE GOD’S PROMISE – The promise of God is that if you come to Him in faith, believing that He can and will give you His peace and rest, then why do you worry so? Too many a believer is drowning in the deep wells of grief, sorrow, and worry. Some are lost in the rotting aroma of self-piety, timidity, and fickle pride. These, and more, bar us from receiving God’s promises. Look at your life? Are you flourishing in the bounty and beauty of God? 

 

Holy, Father God, thank You for the comfort and assurance of all Your promises. Free us to be able to appropriate each one, please. Amen!

 

Read Numbers 23: 19

 

 

Joy In The World

 

March 24

JOY IN THE WORD – Have you ever given thought to Zacchaeus’ changed countenance when Jesus called him down from that high, sprawling tree? You see, he heard Jesus’ voice deep within his sad, sin-sick soul and immediately, he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. Luke 19: 6. One, who was bitter and unloved, shows the signs of one delighted with joy. With a crowd of people before him, the one person to make Zacchaeus feel pure joy, is Jesus and the words He speaks to him. Jesus is present among your crowd and is speaking to you. Will you hear, come to Him and find real peace and joy in His words?

 

You call Jesus and I have come as I am. Thank You for inner peace and gladness. Amen! 

Read Luke 19: 1 - 9

 

Prepared In Christ

 

March 23

PREPARED IN CHRIST - Do we truly appreciate how much Jesus wants us fully prepared as His people, so that He will not have to be, in any way, ashamed of us? Remember, God’s Word is truthful, so all that the Word says about us must be seen in us. Do you know that He wants us all, who are His, to be holy and blameless in His sight? We are prepared for Him in Jesus, through whose blood we have full redemption. We must surrender to Jesus.

 

Thank You Jesus, for preparing us to be as right and pleasing, before Father God. Amen!

 

Read Ephesians 1: 3 - 10

 

 

Cherished Creation

 

March 22

CHERISHED CREATION – Do you know that you are God’s cherished creation? Do you know that He wants you to know how much His love for you is strong and unending? God loves you!

 

Holy God, we who are Your prized and cherished creation, are aware of Your love and care for us and about us. Forgive us our tardiness to be strong and firm in Your love. Forgive us that we are easily distracted and brought down by enemy voices telling us lies about You. Holy! Holy! Holy! You are Holy and Your Name is Holy. Thank You for Your Ever Living, Ever Powerful Word. Thank You for spreading Your Word over us, around us and within us. Amen!

 

Read Zephaniah 3: 16 - 17

 

Thanks For The Blood

 

 

Thanks for the Blood, the precious Blood of the Lamb,

For its power to snatch me from where I am,

Power to stand against the most demanding foe,

Promise of Blood for the sinful life below.

 

Thanks for the Blood, efficient Blood of the Lamb,

Trustworthy to save me and keep me from sin’s harm,

Efficient, effective, to wash and make whole,

Every wretched, every guilty sin-sick soul.

 

Thanks for the Blood, pardoning Blood of the Lamb,

Saw me when I was under sin’s curse and damn,

Ineffable Blood! Who can its worth tell?

All I know is its Might that took me from hell.

 

Thanks for the Blood, surpassing Blood of the Lamb,

Fortresses and keeps safe from every alarm,

Faithful, its cleansing, pardoning work to do,

Ineffaceable Blood, Jesus Lamb, thank You.  

Amen!

 

 

Feed And Succeed

 

March 21

FEED AND SUCCEED – You will agree that if you are feeding daily on spinach, your iron levels will be good and you’ll be less likely to be anemic. Likewise, if you are feeding on the food of Jesus, His Word, you will not be spiritually deficient or anemic. Your condition tells your nutrition.

 

Your Word, O God, is our nourishing food. Thank You for the bounty of Your life-giving and life-sustaining Word. Amen!

 

Read Job 23: 10 - 12

 

Jesus Must Leave

 

March 20

JESUS MUST LEAVE - When Jesus rose from the grave, He did not remain on earth in bodily form. He returned from whence He came and sent the Holy Spirit, another Comforter, to be with His people, you and me included. Jesus has been crystal clear on this point that unless He leaves the earth, in Risen Body, and returns in Spirit, there will be no true, everlasting life with God.

 

Jesus, You no longer walk the earth in flesh, but You are present with us and in us in Spirit. May lives of faith testify daily to the wisdom of Your leaving. Amen! 

 

Read John 16: 5 - 11

 

Flesh Jesus

 

March 19

FLESH JESUS - Jesus, God Incarnate, came to die, that is why He took on, flesh. Since the wages of sin is death, He had to take on sinful flesh, human, carnal flesh, that which could die. He came to die, not for His own sins, but for the sins of a dark, evil, and depraved world. He came to shed His precious Blood, and to rise again after three days. Jesus is alive! He did rise on the third day, as He said. Let’s live as children of a Risen Lord.

 

Risen Jesus, there is no joy in living as though You are still in the tomb. Grant me the joy of resurrection please. Amen!

 

Read Mark 8: 31

 

Life In The Spirit

 

March 18

LIFE IN THE SPIRIT - Jesus, Son of God, brought us life, everlasting life, with Father, Son and Holy Spirit. His resurrected Life brings us, while in our mortal bodies, more abundant life, freer life, life in all its fullness. Do not let anyone or anything persuade you otherwise. Life in the Spirit is for you now and will continue into the life hereafter. Read what Jesus Himself has said, in the suggested reading. Be not a disbeliever!

 

Spirit Divine, grant me the grace to believe and by faith, to live life in You. Amen!

 

Read John 6: 61 - 65

 

 

Immortal God

 

March 17

IMMORTAL GOD – In the midst of all that is going on around us, when threats are being made and we sometimes think that this crazy world will even try to do away with Jehovah, be strong in this truth. God is the One Immortal God who cannot die neither will His Power and Will ever die. He is Creator God. Keep trusting in Him, obey His commands and live in His peace, in a most debased and chaotic world.

 

Jehovah, You are our ever-living and ever-present God. You are Immortal. Help us never to forget who You are, when powers around us would have us cower and think that You have been overthrown, and are no longer in control. Amen!

 

Read 1 Timothy 6: 13 - 16

 

Clean And Free

 

March 16

CLEAN AND FREE - How can we not give unending praise and thanks to Jesus our Redeemer? In all the thoughts we think, all the words we speak and all the things we do, let us ever be aware that it was Christ’s Love for you that sent Him to die on Calvary’s cross, to save you. His Powerful Blood is sufficient to cleanse you and keep you in Him, free and spotless, without accusation.

 

Lord, I surrender my life to You, for only You can keep me one with the Father. Amen!

 

Read Colossians 1: 21 – 23a
