Is Your Light On?

Oct31

For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus’ sake.
For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
2 Corinthians 4:5-6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.4.5-6.NASB1995

As bond-servants of Jesus, who lives in us, we shine the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. What a tremendous responsibility to be faithful in our obedient walk with God.

Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son.
2 John 1:9 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/2jn.1.9.NASB1995

🌹But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;
2 Corinthians 4:7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.4.7.NASB1995

Shine His Light to the glory of God! 🙌

Knowledge and Wisdom

Oct30

The mind (heart) of the prudent (careful, cautious, discreet, reasonable) acquires knowledge, And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
Proverbs 18:15 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.18.15.NASB1995

The fear of the Lord is the instruction for wisdom, And before honor comes humility.
Proverbs 15:33 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.15.33.NASB1995

He whose ear listens to the life-giving reproof Will dwell among the wise.
Proverbs 15:31 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.15.31.NASB1995

Are we wise and knowledgeable in the things of God?

🙏Let us pray, believing . . .
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you (us) a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.
Ephesians 1:17 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.1.17.NASB1995

Jesus Came to Call

Oct29

For what purpose did Jesus come to earth in bodily form? Why would He leave His throne on high to become a carpenter’s son? Why would He allow His death?

Because of you!!!

Christ Jesus . . . although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Philippians 2:6-8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.2.5-8.NASB1995

Jesus came in obedience to God the Father for a purpose.

Is Jesus our example? Are we to be obedient to God by following in the footsteps of Jesus?

I find these words of Jesus very convicting:

I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” Luke 5:32 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.5.32.NASB1995

Do you?

🌹Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,
Philippians 2:5 NASB1995

Are You Assured?

Oct28

Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.
Hebrews 3:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.3.12.NASB1995

See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.
Colossians 2:8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.2.8.NASB1995

See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven.
Hebrews 12:25 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.12.25.NASB1995

For yet in a very little while, He who is coming will come, and will not delay. But My righteous one shall live by faith; And if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him. But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.
Hebrews 10:37-39 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.10.37-39.NASB1995

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;
and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
Hebrews 10:23-25 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.10.23-25.NASB1995

🌹But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end,
Hebrews 3:13-14 NASB1995

John 1:14 NASB1995

Your Typical Day?

Oct23

Blessed and happy are the people who know the joyful sound [of the trumpet’s blast]!
They walk, O Lord, in the light and favor of Your countenance!

In Your name they rejoice all the day,
And in Your righteousness they are exalted.

For You are the glory of their strength [their proud adornment],
And by Your favor our horn is exalted.

My Stronghold

The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God of my salvation,
Psalms 18:46 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.18.46.NASB1995

God is alive! His Holy Spirit lives in me. He is my solid rock when the storm rages. He is my fortress when the enemy attacks. He is my deliverer from the fear of death. He is my endurance in this race of life. He is my Redeemer.

One day Jesus will return. Are you ready to meet Him?

As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, And at the last He will take His stand on the earth.

Boasting

Oct21

My soul will make its boast in the Lord; The humble will hear it and rejoice.
Psalms‬ 34:2 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.34.2.NASB1995

My boasting shall be that I understand and know God and that He is Lord!²

With His praise continually on my lips others will hear (the humble) and be curious, opening opportunity to share the joy of knowing, loving, and walking with God.

Do others see Jesus in you? Do others recognize there is something different about you? Do the humble hear of Jesus through you?

🌹But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, so that, just as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
