WHAT A PERFECT GIFT!

 

John 10:10

 

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." ESV

 

Christ Jesus came into this world for a reason. He came to pay the price for our sins, the sins that should have been ours to pay. Because He did this for us, we can live our lives here on earth in victory over the evil that abounds here. And we can live in eternity forever with Him. What a gift!

 

Heavenly Father, only Jesus Christ could have paid the price for our sins and we stand humble and grateful before You for this magnificent gift. Help us to honor this love poured out on us every day of our lives. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

GOD'S POWER IN US

 

Ephesians 3:20

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." NIV

"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us." KJV

Our God is omnipotent (all powerful) and we trust that there is nothing impossible for Him. However, we do tend to doubt or even fail to realize that He can and does do things more powerful than we could ever imagine through us. Yes, through you and through me. He works by the power of His Holy Spirit within us. We can do all things through His power that dwells in us. These are things that God desires to work through us, not for us to use the power like we want.

Heavenly Father, we stand in awe that You would choose to use us, lowly, weak human beings, to work Your mighty deeds. May we be open vessels, filled with the Holy Spirit's power and ready to do Your will. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

TRUE ABUNDANCE

 

John 10:10

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."NIV

"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."KJV

The life of this world and the life God gives are totally different. Anything we obtain from this world is wide open for destruction by the enemy, whether it be material or plans of the mind. Only those things that are brought to the cross of Christ and are according to His plan are safe from the destroyer and will result in true joy and eternal abundance.

Heavenly Father, we get so distracted by the things of this world and by wanting what others have. Forgive us for getting our minds on the things of this world that are temporary. Help us to look to the things of God and build our lives on those things because they will last throughout eternity. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
