Scripture:
“I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions.” Exodus 16:4 “Two things I ask of you, Lord; do not refuse me before I die: Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.” Proverbs 30:7-9 (NIV) “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?” Matthew 6:25,26 (NIV) Application: If we look and listen to modern society, we’ll be convinced that these are not the days of being satisfied with what we have. The world says we must fear:
Really? The only ancient text that has withstood the test of time tells us otherwise. Trust God: Not our eyes, Not our ears, and Not our fears. Prayer: Dear Jehovah Jireh, God our Provider, we trust You now, and we want to enhance our faith to see You and only You as our Provider. We rest in Your perpetual care. Thank You in advance for all that You will provide for us from now on. Amen.

Scripture: “Many seek an audience with a ruler, but it is from the Lord that one gets justice.” Proverbs 29:26 (NIV) Application: It’s sad to see justice denied. It’s also sad to see people run to someone in some authority, believing that by cozying up with him, they’ll be treated right. It never works out. Treating people justly is not the capacity of mankind, even good people make mistakes or show favoritism. Seek only God for justice. If you’re not right with God, you’re just not right at all. Prayer: Father, You alone are good, righteous, and just. Cleansed by the blood of Jesus, I step to Your throne and plead for justice. I know You hear me. I know You will do what is best. Amen. Scripture.
"When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus." Acts 4:13(NIV) Application: Like cigarette smoke, the people you hang around with leave a lingering residue on you. It may not be an odor upon your clothes, but it will show in the way you talk or look at the world (and yourself). Because of the miracle of Resurrection, Jesus is right there beside you. Have you let Him in? Prayer: Welcome, Lord Jesus, to me. I want to spend all of eternity with You. When I stray, please gently remind me that you are near. I want to make it obvious that Your love, wisdom, courage, and Divinity reside in me. |
