Godliness

Proverbs 21:21 - Whoever pursues godliness and unfailing love will find life, godliness, and honor.

As in everything in life, you get out what you put in to it.  If we strive to be godly people and disciples of Christ, and work at it hard enough, God will reward us.  But we have to do the work.  And it's worth it.

Every day I strive to achieve the godliness and unfailing love that God wants from me.  It is very hard work, but more than worth the reward He has for me.

Dear Lord, I ask for Your continued guidance, wisdom and patience as I strive to be the person You want me to be in Your service.  Amen!



God Bless!!!

Protection

Proverbs 20:28 - Unfailing love and faithfulness protect the king; his throne is made secure through love.

God's unfailing love and faithfulness protects us.  We are safe because of His love.  We are graced by God's love by our unfailing love and faith in Him.

I have given my whole heart to God.  I am all in, because I know He will protect me and make me safe.  If He is for me, who could possible be against me?

Dear Lord, thank You so much for Your unfailing love that protects me and keeps me safe.  With You, I am nothing.  Amen!



God Bless!!!

Counting

Psalm 130:5 - I am counting on the Lord; yes, I am counting on Him.  I have put my hope in His word.

God is the only thing we need to count on.  If we put our hope and faith in Him, He will give us what we need to overcome anything.

I have faithfully put my hope and trust in the Lord.  He has done such amazing things for me, and I know He has so much more planned for me.

Dear Lord, all my hope, faith and trust is in You.  You have already done such great things for me.  I hope I can honor You enough.  Amen!

Fortress

Proverbs 18:10 - The name of the Lord is a strong fortress; the godly run to Him and are safe.

Turning, or running, to God when we face life's trials, should be the first place we go to.  He can overcome all, and He is happy to help you.  But you have to ask.

I find myself turning to God more and more these days.  Years ago, I never would have thought to.  I'm glad I do.  he has helped me so much.  I'm so blessed.

Dear Lord, thank You for being my fortress.  I will continue to seek You for everything, and I know You will continue to bless me.  Amen!



God Bless!!!

Amazing

Psalm 126:3 - Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us!  What joy!

The Lord has done and continues to do amazing things in my life for sure.  For starters, he gave up His Son so I may be saved.  But He also led me to Him as well.  I am most grateful for that.

I cannot thank God enough for the amazing things He has done for me.  I have been so blessed.  I hope I can show the proper honor, praise and glory to Him.

Dear Lord, help me to show You the proper honor, praise and glory for all the amazing things You have done.  Amen!



God Bless!!!

Plans

Proverbs 16:9 - We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.

We can always want to do something, but only God, in His infinite wisdom, determines whether or not it will happen.  His plans for us are perfect and we must trust in Him.

I have given myself over to God completely.  I know He has plans for me, and they are for good and not evil.  I trust Him to guide me down the path He has chosen for me.

Dear Lord, my complete trust is in You.  I know You have great and wonderful things planned for me.  And I know You will reveal them to me.  Amen!

God Bless!!!

Advice

Proverbs 15:22 - Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many counselors bring success.

The more information you have, the better decisions you can make.  The more advice you seek, the more informed you are.

The best advice giver is God.  The best source of information is God's Word - The Bible.  I need to make sure I consult Him and seek His advice first.

Dear Lord, help me stay mindful and seek Your advice first through prayer and scripture.  With those, I can not be led astray.  Amen!

God Bless!!!
