 Scripture: “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39 (NIV) Application: We should never think that bad spirits or evil thoughts from others can bring us misfortune. God is all powerful. Prayer: Father, never let us think that evil can defeat us or cause Your plans for us to be diverted. Amen.  Scripture: “Never oppress the poor or pass laws with the motive of crushing the weak. For the Lord will rise to plead their case and humiliate the one who humiliates the poor.” Proverbs 22:22-23 (TPT) Application: We never know the full story of why some among us are poor. God cares deeply for the poor. So deeply that He becomes their defense counsel, and crushes those who try to exploit His beloved. Prayer: Lord, we pray for the well-being of the poor. Give us ways to aid them. Amen.  Scripture: “you whom I took from the ends of the earth, and called from its farthest corners, saying to you, "You are my servant, I have chosen you and not cast you off"; fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:9-10 (ESV) Application: Most of God's servants are not in places where they command attention or have access to the masses. Many are in remote places rarely heard of. But God uses us wherever we are. Prayer: Thank You, Father, for never, ever being out of reach. Amen. |
