WE DON'T HAVE TO ABIDE BY THE LAW

 

Galatians 3:25

 

"But know that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian." ESV 

 

The death and resurrection of Christ tore down the curtain that kept us separated from the throne of God. All we had to guide us was the Law. The Law was a kind of map to show us how to stay on the narrow road to God. Because of Christ, we no longer have to rely on the Law. By faith in Christ, we live under the law of love. There are no limits or boundaries with love. We are free to live in love with our Savior and with each other.

 

Lord, there is no way we can ever repay You for Your precious gift of love. We can give You our hearts so that we can live in Your marvelous love and share this love with others. In Your loving name we pray, Amen.

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE

 

Colossians 3:14

 

"And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony." ESV

 

 

The only spiritual clothing we need to wear is love. It keeps us in obedience to the greatest of God's commands: To love Him with our whole being and to love each other. When we love, we look like God, because He is love. Love unites us together in harmony with Christ and with each other.

 

Lord, how we need to put on the love of Christ in this world that does not know love. We exist for eternity because You are love. Give us zeal for showing Your love to a lost and dying world. In Your loving name we pray, Amen.

STAY TUNED

Isaiah 26:3

 

"You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You." ESV 

 

Keeping our minds on God does not come naturally. Our minds tend to stay connected to he things we value the most. When we make a committed and conscious effort to be "God minded," we will experience his peace because all the other things of this life will work out as He has planned.

 

 

Lord, forgive us for giving in to thoughts belonging to this world and not Your kingdom. Help us to stay tuned in to You and Your Word. We know, then, that we will have peace, but more important, You are so worthy of first place in our minds.

WHAT IS THAT FOLLOWING ME?

 

Psalm 23:6

 

"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever." ESV 

 

To follow means to come after, move along behind, linger. The Word says goodness and mercy will come along after us, come along behind, or linger a while as we move onward. What an honor that the Lord would allow his fragrance to be left in our footsteps still blessing those whose presence we have already left.

 

Lord, how blessed we are that Your goodness and mercy follow after us. We pray that we will always bring honor to Your name. In Your faithful name we pray, Amen.

ORIGINAL FAITH

 

Hebrews 3:14

 

"For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end." ESV

 

 

What is sharing in Christ? It is Him sharing all the glorious riches that are His as God of all. Our sincerity and commitment to Jesus Christ will be revealed when He returns for us. Will we be found with our first love for Him? Will our love and commitment for Him be faded and tarnished from sharing with the world?

 

Lord, help us to keep our faith burning as it did when we first believed. We desire that You will find us holding firmly to that first faith we had. In Your awesome name we pray, Amen.

WE ARE SUPPOSED TO LOVE WHO?

Luke 6:27

 

"But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you." ESV 

 

How can we live up to these words that go against our very human nature? Only those who are truly God's own, those who walk in His Spirit can let the hatred and evil of others bring out the best in us.

 

Lord, how great is our need to show Your love to our enemies. Give us hearts of pure Godly love, like the love You have for us. In Your loving name we pray, Amen.

WHAT IS MY PROBLEM?

 Psalm 43:5 "Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God." ESV 

 

We all get down and sad at times, we are human. When we are in the middle of great turmoil, we can stir up our faith and praise our Lord that He will save us and keep us.

 

Lord, when we are having troubled times, help us to remember You and Your gracious blessing to us so that we will be lifted in spirit with praise in our hearts. In Your blessed name we pray, Amen.
