God’s Amazing Deeds

TODAY’S VERSE
How amazing are the deeds of the LORD! All who delight in him should ponder them. Everything he does reveals his glory and majesty.
Psalms 111:2-3 (NLT)

TODAY’S THOUGHT
What do you ponder? There are so many things that vie for our attention. So much of our time is spent thinking about our future or past that we fail to consider God’s greatness in the moment. And when we fail to see God’s glory and majesty in the moment, it taints the way we view the future or the past. So the circle continues. So many of our thoughts are as if God was not in the picture. The Psalmist reminds us that the Lord’s deeds are amazing, and we should spend time pondering them. He assures us that we will see God’s glory and majesty when we do. Seeing God’s glory and majesty will affect everything else we think about. Today ponder all the glorious deeds that God is doing.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Father, help me to see all that You are doing around me. Help me to stop and ponder all Your amazing deeds. Indeed they reveal Your glory and majesty.
AMEN

Praise and Remembrance

TODAY’S VERSE
Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me.
Psalms 103:2 (NLT)

TODAY’S THOUGHT
There are many things that we get excited about and praise. We can remember a championship that happened decades ago and praise the team. We get emotional and praise the remembrance of a concert we attended as a teenager. We can get excited about a movie and tell everyone, praising the production. But how much do we sincerely praise God? David writes, “Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me.” David could write this because he experienced God. He knew Him. He spent time in God’s presence and depended upon Him time and time again for His protection and guidance. David was called “A man after God’s own heart.” Oh, that I would be like David. That I would raise my awareness of God all around me. That I would trust Him in all things. That I would read and meditate on His word. Then and only then, I would experience God in a way that would be unforgettable. Then I would begin to praise God. This is my heart’s desire. Is it yours?

TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Lord, forgive me for my pitiful praise. Forgive me for my spiritual amnesia. How I long to be like David. I want to be a person that experiences you in a real and vital way. Come, Lord, fill my heart with praise and my mind with remembrance. In Jesus’ name. AMEN

Focus

TODAY’S VERSE
Let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.
Hebrews 12:1-2 (NLT)

TODAY’S THOUGHT
How serious are you about Jesus Christ? How committed are you to living the kind of life He asks you to? It is easy to “talk” about following Jesus but living for Him is another story. He hasn’t asked us to join a club. We were never asked to just become a “member.” Following Jesus is not a hobby or spectator sport. Rather, Christ asks us to be His disciple. We are called to be a disciple with a mission to spread His word and love to everyone we can. The author of Hebrews illustrates this with the metaphor of an athlete. He writes that we have to strip ourselves of those things that prevent us from running our race. And when we run we must run it with endurance. But what really makes the difference, what really motivates us to keep our course, is focus. We focus on the love of Jesus. The love He has for us and the love we have for Him. He was the one who started us on this journey and He will see us through. Rick Renner, in his book, “365 Days of Power” shares a confession of dedication. Today make this your confession. “I declare by faith that I am more deeply in love with Jesus Christ today than at any previous moment in my life. My affection for Him is so deep that I will never turn back to the life from which I’ve been delivered. I have no relational obligations greater than the sense of obligation that I feel for Jesus Christ. He saved me, redeemed me, delivered me, and changed me—and I vow to serve Him for the rest of my life! I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!”

TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, You have heard my confession. I thank You for the call You have on my life. Help me today, to focus on You and the mission of love You have me on. Loosen everything from me that prohibits me from living the way You want me to. Help me run the race You have put me in, with endurance, keeping my eyes on You.
AMEN

Remember His Power

TODAY’S VERSE
They forgot what he had done, the wonders he had shown them.– They did not remember his power.
Psalms 78:42

TODAY’S THOUGHT
What is worry other than forgetting the power and promise of God? The legacy that the Jews, who fled from Egypt, left for their children is that they forgot about the power of God. All the miracles, all the provisions they had experienced and yet they were guilty of murmuring, complaining and idolatry. They lived as if God did not exist. Jesus came many centuries later and still found the same lack of faith. He was born amongst a people who did not know the all-powerful God. So He showed them. He taught them not to worry about their needs because God would provide for them. He taught them to seek Him first and everything they needed would follow. Jesus lived among them for three and a half years. They saw the miracles, they heard His teachings, they experienced His power and yet like the Jews in the wilderness, “They forgot what he had done, the wonders he had shown them. They did not remember his power.” What about you? When situations come today that force you to take pause, will you fear or have faith? Will you remember all that He has done or will you worry in unbelief? Today remember that the God of all power and provision is the same yesterday, today and will be tomorrow.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank You that You are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. I thank You that Your power continues today as it has in the past. I know that You are able to provide, protect and keep me from falling. In faith, I give my life to You. In Jesus’ name.
AMEN

Remember

TODAY’S VERSE
Think back on those early days when you first learned about Christ.
Hebrews 10:32 (NLT)

TODAY’S THOUGHT
It is easy to lose our confident trust in God. We get so wound up in our present situation that we forget God has been faithful over and over again. This is why the author of Hebrews warns us to remember what God has done in the past. He says to “Think back on those early days when you first learned about Christ.” Remember how you were full of joy over your salvation? Think back to the early years when you took God at His word and trusted Him for mighty things. What has changed? Has God? No! Perhaps you have become more cynical. Perhaps you chalk off your early years as idealism and today you are more realistic about God’s involvement in your affairs? But beware, the author of Hebrews also wrote, “Do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord.” God is as alive today as He was when you first met Him. It is our cynicism that has changed. Instead, have patience and endurance. Put your faith in the God who is faithful to you. Trust Him today and continue to do His will.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, help me to remember all that You have done for me. Help me to remember Your faithfulness. Help me trust You more today.
AMEN
