Love Is Greatest

Image 12-7-13 at 4.24 PMThis Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”
(Romans 1:17 NLT)

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless. (1 Corinthians 13:7-10 NLT)

Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
(1 Corinthians 13:12, 13 NLT)

“Look at the proud! They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked.But the righteous will live by their faithfulness to God.
(Habakkuk 2:4 NLT)

And my righteous ones will live by faith. But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.” But we are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction.
We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved.
(Hebrews 10:38, 39 NLT)

So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”
(Galatians 3:11 NLT)

Daily Verse:
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
(1 Corinthians 13:13 NIV)


The Word of Our God…

churchviewbgThe grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.” (Isaiah 40:8 NKJV)

Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart, who also do no wrong, but walk in his ways! You have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently. Oh that my ways may be steadfast in keeping your statutes! Then I shall not be put to shame, having my eyes fixed on all your commandments. I will praise you with an upright heart, when I learn your righteous rules. I will keep your statutes; do not utterly forsake me!

Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live and keep your word.Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law. I am a sojourner on the earth; hide not your commandments from me! My soul is consumed with longing for your rules at all times.
(Psalm 119:2-8, 17-20 ESV)

Daily verse:
Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
(I John 5:14, 15 NKJV)

Daily Prayer:
I pray Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. That I shall not be put to shame, having my eyes fixed on all your commandments. I will praise you with an upright heart, when I learn your righteous rules. Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live and keep your word. In Jesus name Amen.

A Prayer for Guidance

But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple. Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before me.

(Psalm 5:7, 8, 11, 12 NKJV, ESV)

Daily Verse:

I am counting on the Lord; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word.
(Psalms 130:5 NLT)

Daily Prayer:

I pray for all of your saints to seek You in your Word daily. I need to strengthen my spiritual maturity by reading your word daily and drawing near to you, so that I can know and be more like Jesus Christ. Amen.
