IF . . . . .THEN

 

 

John 14:15

 

"If you love me, you will keep my commandments." ESV

 

If a baby is truly hungry, it will cry. If a man and woman truly seek companionship, then they will spend time together. If we want to drive our car, then we will put gasoline in it. Are we getting the picture here? If we really love our Lord, then we will do what He tells us in His Word.

 

Heavenly Father, we confess and repent of our failures to keep Your commandments. Forgive us and cleanse us by Your precious blood. Increase our love for You as You lead us to the refreshing delights of Your Word, quiet times with You, and worship with our fellow Christians. Help us to love You with all our hearts so that we will keep Your commandments. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

CARRYING BURDENS

 

Galatians 6:2

"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."NIV

"Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."KJV

How can we help others with their problems when we have our own with which to contend? Yet, we are told to help others with their burdens. The Lord doesn't ask us to do anything that He doesn't give us the grace and power to do. If we love God with all of our being and we love others as we love ourselves, we will be able to come alongside and help others with their burdens. That is fulfillment of what Christ said are the greatest commandments.

Heavenly Father, forgive us for getting so caught up in our own lives and issues that we walk past those who are so burdened they cannot move forward. Give us hearts of love that we will fulfill Christ's law by giving of ourselves to our fellowmen when they are so burdened down. We pray in His precious name, Amen.

TRUE LOVE

How can we show God that we truly love Him? Jesus tells us He
will know we love Him if we obey His commandments. What are His
commandments? They are to love God with all of our being and to
love each other. The love He is commanding is not merely words or
sentiments, but acts of giving and sacrifice.

Heavenly Father, fill our hearts to overflowing with love for You and
for each other so that we will bring glory to You; In Jesus' name.

Read John 14:15

"If you love me, you will obey what I command." (NIV)

"If ye love me, keep my commandments." (KJV)

DAY OF REST

To keep the Lord's day holy, we are putting aside our own agendas and business to rest, refresh, and worship God who made us and loves us. This day of the week is not for business as usual in our work lives nor in our personal lives. How do you spend the Sabbath day?

Read Exodus 20:8

"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy." (NIV)

"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy." (KJV)
