Personal Bond July 31

 

As followers of the Jesus Way, we are linked together and He bears the entire journey with us. Think what Jesus said: “Take My yoke upon you” does not  mean you should just withstand some burden. HE SEES AND UNDERSTANDS EVERY BETTER PATH.         If you float on the water, He is there. If you climb a mountain, He is there. If you fly in the air, He is there. If you order groceries online, He is there. He joins everywhere and everywhen with you. He IS your constant partner.

Prayer: “Abba Lord, thank you for providing your trustworthy eternal connection.  I submit. . . hold my hand and make any connections I need.”

Life Twists July 30

 

Spiritually prosperous. . . are you. . . when you enjoy salvation and favor with Jehovah God the Father through Jesus of Nazareth. But sometimes when you misunderstand or are misunderstood, if you miss an important point in life, you are simply on the verge of some new insight or wisdom. Opportunity will come around again. You may experience some advancement in your growth, that may be prosperous or painful. Keep exercising your faith with any of what might be spiritual Kingdom-growth functioning today.

Prayer: Lord, help me today keep aware and accept any growth in You.

Human Three in One June 29

 

                When scripture said you must love the Lord with all your heart- soul-mind, you must understand each as an avenue for a potential strength of the other. The heart stands for emotion and all hidden undercurrents that feelings embrace in personal life. The soul refers to the self, that willful decision-maker, the part that can give or take. The mind has to do with your insight and any perspective that leads to understanding and moral intelligence. Combining them shows your true essence, your spirit, who you essentially are, like no other. All become significant when entering your spiritual travels and your ultimate spiritual existence, even heaven.

          Prayer: Dear Lord, help me understand the short and long-term implication of every part of my being for now and later.

Think About IT! JULY 28

 

        In the beginning was the Word. But before the beginning of all beginnings, there was only what we might call THOUGHT. Jehovah already vibrated as the word Before he was the word. He is the heavenly Father, the only God, who remains a kind of everlasting thought, unknowable completely, in the fullest sense, only through His Son Jesus of Nazareth. Yet Jesus and heavenly Father exist as one, like salt and water together produce salty water. They have an eternal blending and remain a kind of thought in process. Jesus is His Word in action. Know the Word. Know Jesus and you will know the Father. He has given us words so we can create relationships.

        Prayer: Thank you, Jesus, for giving us a way to know you and the Father as one. Help us share THE WORD!

 

Technology and Science July 24

 

Pay attention to discoveries in technology and science that may influence your decision-making. You do not need to fear science. Search to see how it should cooperate with Biblical truths. Heavenly Father is still Lord who made all natural things, the foundation of technology included. Remember, He created any avenue of science as well. Truth found in any idea is still His!

Prayer: Lord, help me recognize today that your truth may be found anywhere.

Value Judgments July 23

 

Think about sound Biblical judgments every chance you get. You have powerful, inward, decent intelligence the world does not have. Always trust you can operate more effectively with God’s moral intelligence. This intelligence moves along with scripture about who God is. One very important use of this intelligence is to help others whenever you can. If you stay observant and alert, the Spirit will give you heightened intellect for you to stay on track with the right values of kingdom living, a motivation of service, not some forced power. Generosity becomes the goal, not any greed that tends to hoard things!

Prayer: Lord, help all my reason through any action be flavored with your Spirit.

Best Attention July 22

 

Raise your alert ability. Watch for someone’s need; an opportunity will arise. A Christ-Kingdom principle will lead you. If you are confused, look at the scripture Attitudes of Mt. 5 and review. Spiritually prosperous are those who hear and do.

Prayer: Keep me other-centered today as I watch for someone’s need.
