Wondrous Blessings

May16

Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders which You have done, And Your thoughts toward us; There is none to compare with You. If I would declare and speak of them, They would be too numerous to count.
Psalms 40:5 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.40.5.NASB1995

Do you ever ponder the wonders God has performed in your life? Are you aware of the times He has intervened on your behalf; the blessings He has poured out on you? Do you vocalize it with praise and thanksgiving to God? Do you share with others so they may know His wonders?

🌹Testimonies of the wonders of God in your life are a marvelous way to bring the wonders of God to others.

Have a blessed weekend making memories with God at the center of all you say and do.

Chosen To Be Kind

May15

. . . as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of kindness
Colossians 3:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.12.NASB1995

Did you know that kindness is a fruit of the Spirit? As God’s chosen we have the indwelling Spirit of God residing in us. Kindness, what a gift to practice and display for the glory of God!
(Galatians 5:22 NASB1995)

Do you know Jesus? Today if you seek Jesus, you can become one of His chosen and be filled with His kindness.

Sow with a view to righteousness, Reap in accordance with kindness; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord Until He comes to rain righteousness on you.
Hosea 10:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/hos.10.12.NASB1995

🌹Do not let kindness and truth leave you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart.

Wearing a Heart of Compassion

May14

. . . as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved,
put on a heart of compassion,
Colossians 3:12a,b NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.12.NASB1995

Chosen of God! What a wonderful gift that comes with compassion.

Seeing the people, He (Jesus) felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd.
Matthew 9:36 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.9.36.NASB1995

Jesus, the great Shepherd, who leads His people, has called us to follow in His footsteps. Have you asked God to fill your heart with compassion, His compassion? Are you practicing compassion toward others?

Compassion: sympathy, empathy, grace, mercy, kindness

Not compassion: indifference, callousness, heartlessness, cruelty, insensitivity

🌹 So,as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion.

Clothed in Preistly Righteousness

May13

. . . as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved,
Colossians 3:12a NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.12.NASB1995

Believer, we are a new person, in the likeness of God. Put on the Lord Jesus Christ; be clothed in His righteousness.
Ephesians 4:24/Romans 13:14/Job 29:14

I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Isaiah 61:10 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.61.10.NASB1995

If you are not a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and are ready to confess your need for His salvation; take a moment to ask Jesus to come into your life and lead you in the way you should go. Make a heartfelt request asking forgiveness for the sin Jesus died for you, so you may be clothed in His righteousness for eternity.
When you have done this, seek a believer and a Pastor, and tell them. Continue to seek God through the Bible, Bible Study, Church. You won’t be sorry.

🌹Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your godly ones sing for joy.

You judge according to the flesh; I am (Jesus) not judging anyone.
John 8:15 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.8.15.NASB1995

For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
John 3:17 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.3.17.NASB1995

But even if I (Jesus) do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me.
John 8:16 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.8.16.NASB1995

“I (Jesus) can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
John 5:30 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.5.30.NASB1995

Real or Faking It?

May8

“But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes, and he *said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?’ And the man was speechless.
Matthew 22:11-12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.22.11-12.NASB1995

The great wedding feast of the saints with our Savior, Jesus. Will He see you clothed in His righteousness at the table? He sees right through your facade. Repentance is not your dress.

Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping 💧 and gnashing of teeth.’
Matthew 22:13 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.22.13.NASB1995

We can’t fool God. We are to live repentant lives, living totally for Him.

🌹For many are called, but few are chosen.”

Trustworthy Steward

May7

Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
In this case, moreover, it is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy.
1 Corinthians 4:1-2 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1co.4.1-2.NASB1995

Would you consider yourself a trustworthy person? Would your friends agree? Your co-workers? Family? Would God?

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/2ti.2.15.NASB1995

so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. This is a trustworthy statement; and concerning these things I want you to speak confidently, so that those who have believed God will be careful to engage in good deeds. These things are good and profitable for men.
Titus 3:7-8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/tit.3.7-8.NASB1995

It is good to be known as a trustworthy steward of God.

🌹Many a man proclaims his own loyalty, But who can find a trustworthy man?

Testimony* of God’s Abounding Love

May6

Do you ever recognize the abounding love of God in the little things?

Those little things are so huge to me that I stand in awe that God loves and cares that much for me.

This morning I was running late to work. What can take me anywhere from 15-20 minutes to drive – and usually it’s closer to the 20 – took 13 minutes.

Let me set up the reason why I know God showed His love to me today. I have two stop signs, one on a busy thoroughfare and ten stop lights, one I call the longest light in history if red, on my journey to work.

The first stop light on the busy thoroughfare had no cross traffic. Out of the ten stoplights I had to stop at three of them and the real blessing is “the longest light in history” was green. Woohoo.

I pulled into the parking lot with two minutes to spare. (And no, there was no speeding or illegal driving in the making of this testimony)

God has our days perfectly planned out and when we love Him with all our heart we see reasons to thank Him and praise Him!!!

🙌 Look for ways that God blesses you today. Thank Him and praise Him!!

🌹The Lord is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.

Heart Set For Prayer

“Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.
Matthew 6:9 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.6.9.NASB1995

When you are in the presence of God to pray, is His name hallowed (consecrated, holy), in Your heart? Does your mind acknowledge His divineness?

🌹let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
