Father Of Peace

 

September 26

FATHER OF PEACE - No one and nothing can supply us with peace as God our Heavenly Father. His quiet peace and penetrating calm can reach us regardless of the severity of the situation in which we have found ourselves. In spite of your chaotic state, your wretchedness and carelessness, God will never refuse His peace to you, who repent and seek Him. He delights in freely giving peace to all who accept Him as Lord. Seek His peace diligently!

 

With You, O Sovereign God, I know that I will have peace, for You are a merciful God who welcomes sinners. Amen!

 

Read Isaiah 26: 3 - 4

 

Jealously Guarded

 

September 25

JEALOUSLY GUARDED – God’s Love for us is so rich, so pure and so intimate, He jealously guards us. He is so protective of us, that He jealously guards our hearts and minds from the mischief and havoc the enemy will wreak on our minds. The clever, conniving enemy knows that if at all he can get, not all of a foot in, but just one toe even, in the window of each mind, he can cause devastating destruction. Here’s the great news! Our Lord knows the deceiver well and is always ready to protect us. 

 

Thank You Father for Your everlasting, jealous Love. Amen!

 

Read Jeremiah 31: 1 - 4

 

 

 

All The Time God

 

September 24

ALL THE TIME GOD – Often, we need to be reminded that God is not a sometimes God. Our caring Lord does not come to us when things are going well for us and days are good, smooth and sunshiny. His tender compassion for us allows Him to come to us personally and speak to us when we are afraid and facing some really faith-taking and trust-crippling enemies. He comes to help us and reassures us that He is there for us, all the time. 

 

Loving God, thank You that You do not abandon us in our times of hardships and troubles. Amen!

 

Read Psalm 41: 10

 

 

Our Aware God

 

September 23

OUR AWARE GOD - Sovereign Father God is never asleep. He is not just present in the affairs of His children, but He is our Omnipotent Lord. His powers are over all. Knowing that we, His children are human, He is always willing and waiting to come to our aid. Please don’t doubt this. God is aware of your situation, even before you are conscious of it. By the time you get to God, He has already come to you, with needed aid. God is mindful of you.

 

 

Thank You Father for being always willing and ready to help us, Your children. Amen!

Seek To Learn More

 

September 22

SEEK TO LEARN MORE – When you are interested in someone, don’t you do things to find out more about that person? Depending on the level of your curiosity, don’t you even go out of your way to get to know more about that person? How interested are you in Jesus? Do you really desire to learn and know more about Him? How far are you prepared to go, to know Jesus more intimately? Will you be an Andrew? Read the Bible passage to find out more.

 

Jesus, I do desire to learn more and know more of You. I am prepared to follow You, wherever You lead. Amen!

 

Read John 1: 35 - 42

 

Anxious And Worried

 

September 21

ANXIOUS AND WORRIED – Are you living a worried and anxious life because of your present situation? May I gently remind you of what Jesus says to you? He has told you to take a look at the simple, ordinary sparrow, that bird which is of little worth. I am its heavenly Father, knowing everything about its life. You are worth much more than many sparrows. Just as these birds live without worry and anxiety, because I care for them, so should it be with you. Why can’t you accept that I care for you even more passionately?

 

Creator God, keep me looking to You daily, so that I will not be held imprisoned by anxiety and worry. Amen!

 

Read Matthew 10: 28 - 31

 

Resist Stubborness

 

September 20

RESIST STUBBORNESS - If you resist God’s commands and remain persistently stubborn against His will, showing Him scant respect and grudging deference, how do you expect to know His tender compassion? His compassion will not be new to you every morning. It will be all vain and a waste to you, if you refuse to fear Him.

 

Snatch me Lord, capture me and save me from my sinful pride and deadly stubbornness against You. Amen!

 

Read Hosea 4: 16

 

Christ For Me

 

                        Christ for me, yes Christ is for me,

So fears and doubts will have to flee,

They aren’t friends, but the enemy,

Seeking ways, whatever they be,

Trying their works, even with plea,

To make me deny, Christ for me.

 

Christ for me, I will take His lead,

Even when cares would intercede,

Sowing unholy, wicked seed,

Saying to me, come on and feed,  

Tempting me in my dire need,

To turn on Christ, as my one lead.

 

Christ for me, my hope and my stay,

Though I am weary, tossed each way,

As the deceiver comes with sway,

Showing how, I waste time to pray,

Telling me, I should move away,

To seek not Christ, as my one stay.

 

Christ for me, yes Christ is for me,

Though from fears and doubts, I’m not free,

When the way forward, I can’t see,

God help me, to keep Christ only,

Though the world with me won’t agree,

Lord help me to live, Christ for me.

Amen!

Eternal Springs

 

September 19

ETERNAL SPRINGS – Did you realize that you don’t have to live a life of thirst, when the living waters of God are freely flowing? Why are you going thirsty and forfeiting God’s free grace for you? Did you know that God quenches your thirst, wherever you are and whatever your place? Our God is Omnipresent and His living, thirst-quenching water, will never, ever run dry, for He is Sovereign Creator. Eternal Springs, mean that you can be fed and refreshed daily in Him. Never run dry of spiritual water!

 

Holy Spirit, perfect provider of living water, with thanks, I drink from Your free-flowing fountain. Amen!

     

Read Isaiah 12: 1 - 3

 

 

Potter And Clay

 

September 18

POTTER AND CLAY – When one stands and stares at the potter at work, and sees how she or he takes an unshaped, ugly lump of clay and begins to shape and mould it, there is always amazement. The clay yields itself up to the skilled, firm, but loving hands of the potter, so that it can be made into something beautiful and useful. Sin has made you ugly. Place your life in God’s Hands, for He is the Supreme Potter. He will do wonders with you.

 

Lord, You are the Potter and I am the clay. I will be made into the works of Your Hand. Amen!

 

Read Isaiah 64: 8 - 9
