Foot of the Cross

We should not be so arrogant, that we forget to pray for one another and use our skills glorify God with our lives…

All of us have special skills. God wants to fill us with his Spirit so we will use those skills for his glory.

Pray for tribulations you hear in the media and news, for the people and the children…

I lavish unfailing love to a thousand generations. I forgive iniquity, rebellion, and sin. But I do not excuse the guilty. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children and grandchildren; the entire family is affected— even children in the third and fourth generations.” (Exodus 34:7 NLT)

“Honor your father and mother, as the Lord your God commanded you. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the Lord your God is giving you.  (Deuteronomy 5:16 NLT)

Something I think the church community needs to share with all Christians of all faiths…

“And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? He requires only that you fear the Lord your God, and live in a way that pleases him, and love him and serve him with all your heart and soul. (Deuteronomy 10:12 NLT)

Here are the essentials:

1. Fear God;
2. Live in a way that pleases him;
3. Love him;
4. Serve him with all your heart and soul; and
5. Obey his commands.

Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it. (James 4:17 NLT)

I need to strengthen my walk with more prayer…

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.  (Romans 8:18 NKJV)

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.  (Matthew 7:21 NKJV)

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;  (I Peter 3:15 NKJV)

I need to bring it all to the foot of the Cross everyday…

Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  (Acts 2:38 NKJV)

Daily Verse:

“For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.”  (Galatians 1:10 NKJV)

Daily Prayer:

Father, help me to go beyond the afflictions and tribulations of our age, and to look toward the inheritance reserved for us in heaven.
