Turn Toward God

 

in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess.
(Deuteronomy 30:16 NKJV)

that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”
(Deuteronomy 30:20 NKJV)

The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
(Psalms 27:1 NKJV)

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.”
(John 11:25 NKJV)

There they are in great fear, For God is with the generation of the righteous. You shame the counsel of the poor, But the Lord is his refuge.
(Psalms 14:5, 6 NKJV)

When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
(Colossians 3:4 NKJV)

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.


Meditate On His Word & The Good News

Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11 NLT)

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:10 NLT)

So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.  (Romans 10:17 NLT)

I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. (Psalms 119:11 NLT)

Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. (Joshua 1:8 NLT)

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. (Romans 12:2 NLT)

“But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.” (Matthew 6:6 NLT)

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”
(John 14:6 NLT)
Daily Verse

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say. (2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17 NLT)
Daily Prayer

Father, help me to be a light in this world of darkness, ready for each opportunity to share Your love with those whose spiritual needs are great.
