Cravings

Leave a comment

TODAY’S VERSE
For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.
I John 2:16 (NLT)

TODAY’S THOUGHT
Cravings. It has been my experience that most cravings have their roots in emotional and spiritual issues. Of course, by the time addictions are in place, there is a heavy part of the brain involved. But in their genesis, a craving stems from some childhood edict that we are flawed. This arouses certain fears that if we do, feel, or think certain things, we’ll be neglected and abandoned—which to a child is to be left to die. This is a primal fear. It stays with us because these fear-based lies are timeless, and the brain will do anything to protect us from it. None of this is conscious, but the bottom line is that we “crave” certain things in order to stay alive. So, if we escape enough, have enough, or achieve enough, we believe we will be safe. That’s the world’s lie. The truth is, there is never enough! Only truth from God can really set you free. Jesus is the truth, and His love will fill the emptiness, fear, frustration, anger, sadness, and disgust that have been living in your heart. Today, trade in the need for excitement or sedation and its false promises for the satisfaction that comes from the truth of God’s love for you.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Father, I have bought the lie. From childhood, I have believed that having the most, the best, or being famous and admired would satisfy all my emotional needs. But it was a lie. Only You can satisfy. Help me know You more and find my true happiness in You.
AMEN

Father

Leave a comment

TODAY’S VERSE
See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are!
I John 3:1 (NLT)

TODAY’S THOUGHT
I love the confidence in this verse. There is no doubt about God being our Father. God chose man and woman to procreate. He allowed what He considers precious to be brought into this world through parents. But make no mistake. Before you were procreated, you were created by God as an object of His love. So no matter who your caregivers are, God too is standing by, ready to re-parent you. He is your real Father. Today He calls you His child and wants you to know that you are loved, cherished, and deeply favored. He calls you His child, and that is who you are!

TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear God, thank You for calling me Your child. Help me know the depths of Your love for me. Help me understand what it means to call You Father.
AMEN

Love

Leave a comment

TODAY’S VERSE
Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God.
I John 4:7 (NLT)

TODAY’S THOUGHT
Love is the ultimate commandment. Jesus affirmed this when he stated that the greatest commandment is, “‘You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” The Apostle John says it even stronger when he writes, “But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” God is love. And if we are His followers we too must love. Today love those around you.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Love, for that is who You are! Thank You for Your love for me. Today, help me love others.
AMEN

Comfort

Leave a comment

TODAY’S VERSE
When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.
Psalms 94:19 (NLT)

TODAY’S THOUGHT
It is easy to let doubt fill your mind. Worry, fear, and apprehension tend to grab our attention and take us captive. We have a propensity toward the negative, and if we let it stay, it will take over our thinking. But then there is God. The Psalmist knew that God made all the difference. Just a verse earlier, he writes, “I cried out, ‘I am slipping!’ but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me.” In today’s verse, we see that when doubt filled the Psalmist’s mind, God’s comfort gave him renewed hope and cheer. God will do the same for you! Today, trade in your worry, concern, and fear- whatever has you upset- and let God comfort you.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Father, God of all comfort, come and comfort me today. Renew my hope and bring joy to my heart. In Jesus name.
AMEN

Confess and Repent

Leave a comment

TODAY’S VERSE
If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.
I John 1:8-9 (NLT)

TODAY’S THOUGHT
We sin. And yet, John has to remind us to confess our transgressions. More than that, he is asking us to admit that we sin. Who could live as a human being and say they do not sin? And yet we do. Perhaps we wouldn’t say “No” if someone came and asked us point-blank whether we sin, but we don’t live as if it matters. Many times our behavior is suspect, yet we do not stop. Our attitudes are entirely wrong, and yet we do not change. Instead, God wants to convict us of what we do wrong so we can clear our conscience and stay in a right relationship with him. The saddest reality is not the act of sinning itself, but not repenting, not confessing, and not letting God help us correct it. Today, check your heart. Confess to Him any sin that has you trapped, any sin that has not been confessed, any sin that you think does not matter. It does.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Father, You know I sin. Forgive me for not keeping my conscience clear. Today, speak to me, show me my wrongdoing, and help me confess so I can live in the awareness of Your forgiveness and cleansing. In Jesus’ name.
AMEN

Praise and Remembrance

Leave a comment

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

More Mercy, Peace, and Love

Leave a comment

TODAY’S VERSE
May God give you more and more mercy, peace, and love.
Jude 1:2 (NLT)

TODAY’S THOUGHT
Some things you just want more of! However, not everything is beneficial. Cravings can create a demand for things that can be destructive. But the list Jude gives is something that every heart needs. Jude prays that God would give you more and more mercy, peace, and love. That is an abundance, an overflowing with everything you need to make it in this life. Mercy, God’s compassionate concern and action toward you. May you have more and more! Peace, the kind that Paul says, passes all our understanding and will keep our heart and mind. May you experience more and more! Love that is never failing, unconditional, and able to fill every longing of your heart. May you have more and more! May the cry of your heart be more and more, Lord! More and more of Him; for in Him you will get it all. Today, seek Him with all your heart and start enjoying more and more.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Lord Jesus, I want more and more of Your mercy, peace, and love. I want more of You. I want to know and love You more and more. Help me to this end for Your glory.
AMEN

Godliness

Leave a comment

TODAY’S VERSE
Having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power.
II Timothy 3:5 (ESV)

TODAY’S THOUGHT
Here is a riddle? How can you be Godly without God? You can’t. Yet, that is what so many of us try to do. We read Scripture. We go to church. We live a moral life. But does that make us Godly? The Pharisees followed that same program, yet Jesus constantly criticized them for their ungodliness. The secret is in the second part of the verse. We become Godly by God’s power. It is the power of the Holy Spirit alive in our hearts that teaches us, rebukes us, and corrects us. It is God Himself who helps us live for Him. Today, fall in love with God. Seek His power in your life. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead can bring you into a holy, loving relationship with God Himself. As you love Him and live in His presence, His power will make you more like Him.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Father, I desire to follow You. I want to live a Godly life, but I cannot do it myself. Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit and make me more like You.
AMEN

Pleasing Thoughts

Leave a comment

TODAY’S VERSE
May all my thoughts be pleasing to him.
Psalms 104:34 (NLT)

TODAY’S THOUGHT
Just because we think something doesn’t mean it is good and pleasing to God. Lustful, hateful, immoral thoughts are wrong and need to be rebuked and replaced by the right kind of thinking. However, there are many seemingly “borderline” thoughts that we think that end up slipping right under the radar. We do not stop to consider whether or not these thoughts please God. They seem so normal, so right, and so natural. However, many of our fearful and doubtful thoughts stand as an affront to faith in God. He is not pleased. Jealous, bitter, and angry thoughts often dwell in our minds, and we never stop to consider God’s opinion on them. Negative self-beliefs stand against the truth of God’s love for us and the pride He has in us as His beloved creation. The Apostle Paul took our thoughts seriously and wrote, “We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.” Today, listen to what you are thinking. Repent of any thoughts that do not please God and replace them with those that do.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Lord, help me catch my thoughts and examine them. Point out where I need correction. Father, I want to please you in everything I think and do. Help me, I pray.
AMEN

What Pleases God

Leave a comment

TODAY’S VERSE
And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him.
I John 5:14 (NLT)

TODAY’S THOUGHT
Have you ever worked for someone that you were really in synch with? You knew what they wanted. You knew their passions, goals, and plans. This made it easy to work on their behalf. You could express their desires to others and speak for them in various business dealings. When it came to corporate affairs, you knew what pleased them. How much more should this be true in our Christian experience with God? We are His child. We have His word. We have God’s Spirit living within us. For this reason, we have been called to be about God’s business here in this world. Therefore, John says that we can be confident that God will hear us when we ask for anything that pleases Him. So, the first question is, “How well do you know God?” The second is, “Do you know what pleases Him?” If not, ask Him. Today, pray, “Lord, help me to know You and discern what pleases You so I can pray according to Your will.”

TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Father, help me to know You better. Help me to know what pleases You so I can pray according to Your will.
AMEN
