Thought For Today

Don’t be misled, remember that you can’t ignore God and get away with it; a man will always reap just the kind of crop he sows! If he sows to please his own wrong desires, he will be planting seeds of evil and he will surely reap a harvest of spiritual decay and death; but if he plants the good things of the Spirit, he will reap the everlasting life which the Holy Spirit gives him. Galatians 6:7, 8

Thank You Lord for helping us keep our eyes upon You and Your desires for us. We want to sow seeds of love and kindness. Thank You for our gift from You of eternal life with You forever and ever.

Thank You Lord.

Amen

Let everyone be sure that he is doing his very best, for then he will have the personal satisfaction of work well done, and won’t need to compare himself with someone else. Each of us must bear some faults and burdens of his own. For none of us is perfect! Galatians 6:4, 5

Thank You Lord for Your words of wisdom spoken by Paul. As Your followers we do strive to do our very best. I’m so glad You reminds us that we all will have ‘faults and burdens of our own.’ Lord I will be the first to admit that it is very hard for me to see my faults. Even as I continue to work on them with Your guidance it seems such a slow process. I thank You for Your help. AND I certainly thank You for Your help in carrying my burdens. Thank You for telling us to cast our cares upon You. Thank You for always being there for us. We are never alone and we are NEVER without Your help and Your guidance. Oh how I praise and thank You.

Thank You Lord.

Amen

If we are living by the Holy Spirit’s power, let us follow the Holy Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Then we won’t need to look for honors and popularity, which lead to jealousy and hard feelings. Galatians 5:25, 26

Lord once again I have to say ‘oh to be like YOU!’ Oh to be full of Your love and compassion. The most wonderful place to be is in the center of Your desire for our life. For Lord it is then that Your peace within us flows like a river. Your joy floods our soul. Oh how we thank You for changing us moment by moment into Your image.

Thank You Lord.

Amen

I (Paul) have been crucified with Christ; and I myself no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And the real life I now have within this body is a result of my trusting in the Son of God, who loves me and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20

Oh to be like You Lord. Paul had a miraculous experience that changed his life. I too as a child of 8 put my life into Your hands just as Paul did. My life was changed then and as I continue to trust You it continues to change. Thank You that I don’t have to be perfect for You to continue loving me. Oh how I appreciate Your unconditional love. I love You Lord and thank You for Your love.

Thank You Lord.

Amen

Paul writes…. Three different times I begged God to make me well again. Each time He said, “No. But I am with you; that is all you need. My power shows up in weak people.” Now I am glad to boast about how weak I am; I am glad to be a living demonstration of Christ’s power, instead of showing off my own power and abilities. 2 Corinthians 12:8, 9

Lord … while praying today for the many that need Your healing touch I was reminded of Paul’s words from You when praying for his own healing. “MY grace Is sufficient for you….MY strength is made perfect in your weakness.” Those word kept resonating within my heart. What did You want me to see today Lord as I prayed for each person. Earlier in my journey in prayer for others You showed me to start focusing on what I could be thankful for and dwell upon that while praying for healing. Now Lord I see You are showing me that some things won’t be healed as with Paul and his ‘thorn in the flesh.’ It was to show all that met him Your strength. He was week but You were strong. You gave Paul the strength he needed for everything You called him to do.

Thank You Lord that we are never without Your strength and Your power in whatever You call us to. You are with us every step of the way today and every day. Thank You for helping us keep our eyes upon You and all Your gifts and blessings.

Thank You Lord.

Amen

Even when we are too weak to have any faith left, He remains faithful to us and will help us, for He cannot disown us who are part of Himself; and He will always carry out His promise to us. 2 Timothy 2:13

Thank You Lord for always keeping Your promises. Your promise to ‘never leave us or forsake us’ brings great comfort and cheer. In our weakness You become our strength. You are right here with us today and we thank and praise You.

Thank You Lord.

Amen

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His lovingkindness continues forever. Psalms 136:1

Thank You Lord for reminding us over and over how much You love us. You not only love us… Your love for us is an unconditional love. When we fall You pick us up. When we feel weak ….You provide Your strength. When we feel alone and abandoned… You are there wrapping Your arms around us bringing us comfort. Oh how we thank and praise You for Your lovingkindness that continues forever and ever.

Thank You Lord.

Amen

Little children, let us stop just saying we love people; let us really love them, and show it by our actions. 1 John 3:18

Lord …first of all I want to thank You for loving us unconditionally. It is because of Your unconditional love for us that we too are called to love with Your love. It isn’t always easy to love. Sometimes Lord that takes a lot of prayer …asking for Your help and direction. Thank You for helping us love as You love us. What a gift and what a blessing to be able to do that.

Thank You Lord.

Amen

Take care to live in Me, and let Me live in you. For a branch can’t produce fruit when severed from the vine. Nor can you be fruitful apart from Me. John 15:4

Thank You Lord once again for Your living word our Bibles. When we sit and read and listen to You we learn how to ‘live in You.’ Thank You for Your love for us that calls us to want to know more and more about You. Our love grows deeper and richer by the power of Your Holy Spirit working within us. Oh how we love You Lord and thank You for Your unconditional love for us.

Thank You Lord.

Amen

The whole Bible was given to us by inspiration from God and is useful to teach us what is true and make us realize what is wrong in our lives; it straightens us out and helps us do what is right. It is God’s way of making us well prepared at every point, fully equipped to do good to everyone. 2 Timothy 3:36, 37

Lord once again I want to thank You for our Bibles. While thinking on this verse all day and night yesterday I wanted to thank You again for Your written word for us. It is there for us day and night. Our lives are changed by reading it. It seems the same verse read at a different stage in our life speaks to just what we need for that day. Oh how I thank and praise You for Your written words and the blessings we receive every day because of it.

Thank You Lord.

Amen
