TEACH THE CHILDREN

 
Judges 2:10
 
"And all that generation also were gathered to their fathers. And there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord or the work that he had done for Israel." ESV 
 
When all of us living now have died, will the new generation know the Lord? Are we teaching our children, and teaching them to teach their children about the Lord Jesus Christ? If we fail to do so, we will answer to the Lord God Himself for a generation who does not know Him.
 
Lord, help us to live and teach our children everyday of Your great love and mercy. Help us to make this our priority so that coming generations will know the true God. We pray in Your name, Amen.

HAVE A PIECE OF HUMBLE PIE

 
Psalm 25:9
 
"He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way." ESV 
 
Without humility, we are choosing to make decisions and live by our own abilities. Because we are so limited in our knowledge and understanding of the Truth as a whole, we have no hope of staying on the path of Truth. We acceptingly stumble around in the darkness with the rest of the crowd. If we put on true humility, we give up our right to follow what we think is right, and we walk by faith with our Lord leading our every step.
 
Lord, we know we cannot know You and have true relationship with You if we do not have humility. We ask that You show us when we are not wearing our cloak of humility so we can get back to Your will for our lives. In Your name we pray, Amen.

DON'T GO THE WRONG WAY!

 
Matthew 5:1,2
 
"Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them saying...." ESV 
 
We are all looking for contentment. The problem is, few look in the right place. What we seek cannot be found in this world. If we want true contentment, the place to look is at the life and teachings of Jesus. But we have to follow Him and listen.
 
Heavenly Father, we ask you to forgive us for seeking contentment from this world. We know that true contentment comes only from You. We praise You for giving us Your Word and Your Holy Spirit so that we can follow and listen, bringing us joy and peace. In Jesus' name, Amen.

BREATH OF GOD

 
 
2 Timothy 3:16
 
"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, and for correction, and for training in righteousness." ESV
 
 
The words of Scripture came from the very breathe of God. They are the Creator of the universe speaking to us. From His words we learn what we are to believe, to know the Truth, to correct the things in our lives that hinder our walk with Him, and to teach others about Him. The Word of God is our life manual.
 
Heavenly Father, we praise You and thank You for giving us Your Word, so that we can have direction for our lives and be equipped to teach others to trust in Your Word. In Jesus' name, Amen.

DECISIONS DECISIONS DECISIONS

 
 
Psalm 32:8
 
 
"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you." ESV
 
 
 
At times we are at a crossroad. Sometimes there are several different ways we could go. Which one do we choose? What if we make the wrong decision? We become confused, stressed, and unable to make a decision at all. When we look to our Lord and trust Him only, He will let us know which way to go. He doesn't play guessing games with us. Ask for discernment, wisdom, and open hearts. He will surely answer us when it is time.
 
 
Heavenly Father, forgive us for fretting when we have difficult and important choices to make. Forgive us for not fully trusting in You to provide us with the instructions we need. Give us open hearts and willing spirits to listen and obey. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
