Today’s Scripture: I Corinthians 2:15-16 (NLT): Those who are spiritual can evaluate all things, but they themselves cannot be evaluated by others. For, “Who can know the Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to teach him?” But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.

Today’s Thought: The God of the universe wants to reveal His heart to each one of us. Wow! What a thought! When we become a Christian Jesus renews our minds. However, the renewal of the mind is a process that will take years or it might not ever be fully renewed because we have a sin nature. We must do whatever we can to renew our minds. Praying, spending time with the Lord, worshiping Him always helps us renew our minds.

Today’s Prayer: Lord, I pray that You renew my mind daily. Help me think upon You as I go about my day today. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen!

Psalm 121:1-7 —

I lift up my eyes to the mountains —
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip —
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you —
the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm —
he will watch over your life...
__________________________

This song expresses assurance and hope in God's protection day and night. He not only made the hills, but heaven and earth as well. We should never trust a lesser power than God himself. But not only is he all-powerful, he also watches over us. Nothing diverts or defers him. We are safe. We never outgrow our need for God's untiring watch over our lives.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:12-13

Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, 'Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.' John 7:38

Psalm 37:28 - 28 For the Lord loves justice, and he will never abandon the godly. He will keep them safe forever, but the children of the wicked will die.

John 6:35 — Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

And he also said, "It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega - the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life." - Revelation 21:6

Today’s Scripture: I Corinthians 3:4-6 (NLT): When one of you says, “I am a follower of Paul,” and another says, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you acting just like people of the world? After all, who is Apollos? Who is Paul? We are only God’s servants through whom you believed the Good News. Each of us did the work the Lord gave us. I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow.

Today’s Thought: We are all in this together. When you share the gospel with someone but they do not get saved, it does not mean that you failed. The Lord has a plan in mind. You might sow a seed and someone else reap the harvest. That does not mean you did not have a vital role in that person’s salvation.

Today’s Prayer: Lord, I pray that You help me share Your love with people I work with or run into today. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen!

*****

1 John 1:5-7 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

*****

But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life. John 4:14

[bluidkiti]

January 29

Today’s Scripture: I Corinthians 3:7-9 (NLT): It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow. The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work. For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building.

Today’s Thought: We all play a vital role in the Kingdom of God. Just because you do not lead everyone you witness to the Lord, does not mean you did not do your part.

Today’s Prayer: Lord, help me to do my part in the Kingdom of God today. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen!

*****

Psalm 100:5 — For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

*****

*****

If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.
1 John 4:15

*****

It's time for a praise break. What are you thankful for? "Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name." 1 Chronicles 29:13

*****

And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. Ephesians 3:18

January 30

Today’s Scripture: I Corinthians 3:10-11 (NLT): Because of God’s grace to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert builder. Now others are building on it. But whoever is building on this foundation must be very careful. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ.

Today’s Thought: Our foundation must be built on Jesus. All others will fail. If you build your life, your marriage, your family, your job on Jesus Christ you will be successful. Maybe you have not built everything on Him in the past. It is not too late. Start today!

Today’s Prayer: Lord, help me build everything upon You. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen!

*****

*****

*****

Mark 1:40-42 (NIV) - A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus was indignant. He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.

*****

Teach me your ways, O LORD, that I may live according to your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor you. Psalm 86:11

*****

1 Corinthians 13:8-13

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

*****

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Romans 12:16

*****
