Believer’s peace

The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace. Psalm 29:11

The Lord is the strength of our lives. As believers, we can lean on the Lord for peace and strength. What can you ask of the Lord today? He has everything we need. Instead of worry, you can have the Lord’s peace. Instead of being weary, you can find strength in the Lord.

Lord Jesus, thanks for your strength and peace.

Love of God

We have come to know have believed the love which God has for us, God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 1John 4:16

God is love. As we get to know God, we realise how loving He is. God wants us to abide in His love. When you live in the love of God, then God abides in you. Thankful that God’s love is real and that we can really know Him.

Praise you Lord, thanks for your great love.

Purpose in praise

Every day I will bless You, and I will praise your name forever and ever. Psalm 145:2

There is purpose in praise. In the everyday, blessing the Lord becomes the centre of our lives. When worshipping Jesus, our priorities are set in order. You can write about praise, sing a song of thanksgiving, listen to worship music. In what way can you bless Jesus today?

Praise you Jesus! Thanks for being my Lord and friend.

Encounter with Jesus

Then the Lord passed by in front of him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth;

Exodus 34:6

At times when you have an encounter with God, that’s life changing because you learn more about the character of God. When the Lord God passed before Moses, he quickly bowed low and worshipped God. Like Moses, we can make time and space for God, and be changed and be awestruck.

Thanks Jesus for who you are and the wonderful truth we can learn of you.

Peace and rest

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1

When you live close to Jesus, you are kept safe in the Lord. Instead of worry you can have peace, instead of fear you can have love of the Holy Spirit. There is a shelter that God wants us to dwell in, the shelter of the most High. You will be at peace and at rest near to God.

Praise Jesus for the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

Journey of growing

A wise man will hear and increase in learning, And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel. Proverbs 1:5

If you can search for knowledge and gain wise counsel, you will benefit. Humility is realising you have much to learn. When you are on a journey to grow, you seek to know more; more about God and living for him.

Lord Jesus, thanks for being there always. Help me have a hunger to learn and grow in you Jesus.

Be strong

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the LORD! But you, take courage! 1 Cor 13:7

When you are waiting on the Lord, you can take courage as God is faithful. You don’t need to feel strong to be strong. As we read the Word, there’s a strengthening that happens. The Holy Spirit brings encouragement in every verse of scripture.

Thanks Jesus for your Word that can build us up, that we can take courage in you.

Community Life

Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones. Psalm 149:1

How wonderful to praise the Lord as a corporate group of people. As we lift up songs of praise, the Lord is lifted up and everyone is edified. Community life is where people are encouraged as we praise Jesus together. There’s something fresh about new songs that causes us to reawaken to biblical truth.

Praise you Lord Jesus. Thanks for the opportunity to lift you up in corporate settings.

Delighting in Jesus

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:14

Thank God that the Holy Spirit helps us follow Jesus and find that narrow path in Christ. We can live beyond distraction and in a life of discipleship as we follow Jesus. He always leads us to triumph in Christ Jesus.

Lord Jesus, you are the Lord of my life and I delight in following you.

Hearing the word

He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” Luke 11:28

We are learning to listen, because when you hear the word of God, the next step is to obey and that’s a blessed place to be. How grateful we are to have the Bible, that we can freely read the word of God. What is one verse or passage you could think about today and the application to your day?

Thanks Jesus for your word to us and your help to obey your word, amen.

Love of God

I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38,39.

Praise God for Jesus’ love. There is something very good about knowing you are the beloved of God. When you read the Word and spend time with Jesus, can you hear the whisper of the love of God. He communicates his love in the Word, like lettered love to us.

Thanks Lord Jesus, very grateful for your love and fellowship.

God that answers

I shall give thanks to You, for you have answered me, And you have become my salvation. Psalm 118:21

How much God has saved us from. Your testimony is powerful. The stories of the salvation of God in our lives help us believe for the future. God has a faithfulness that you know the Lord will answer and save.

Thanks Jesus for answering my prayers and being my salvation.

Living close to Jesus

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1

When you live close to Jesus, you are kept safe in the Lord. Instead of worry you can have peace, instead of fear you can have love of the Holy Spirit. There is a shelter that God wants us to dwell in, the shelter of the most High. You will be at peace and at rest near to God.

Praise Jesus for the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

Bless the Lord

Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits Psalm 103:2

It’s easy to forget all the blessings that happen day to day. Praise can help us remember all the blessings in Christ Jesus. Praise Jesus! When you give thanks, you become filled with gratitude for everything Jesus has done and expectant of everything possible in Christ.

Bless you Lord. Thanks for all the blessings in you Jesus.

Alert and ready

Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

Ephesians 6:18

When you are in a sports game you are alert and ready. That’s kind of like the verse that we are poised and ready in our prayer life. Believers every where can benefit from our prayer with persistence as well. That makes a difference in believers lives, praise the Lord. We are setting the benchmark when praying on every occasion. Whatever the day, that’s a good idea to pray.

Praise Jesus for the opportunity of prayer.

Jesus’ strength

The strength of those who wait with hope in the LORD will be renewed. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and won't become weary. They will walk and won't grow tired. Isaiah 40:31

As we spend time in the presence of God, there is new strength. You can catch the wind of the spirit like an eagle soars through the sky. Life can leave us weary, yet in the presence of God, we can run and not get weary. What a wonder is Jesus, that in him, we can be strong.

Praise you Jesus, you are my strength.

Everything we need

And now, Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you. Psalm 39:7

When you know your hope is in God, you are able to wait. You can put expectations on the Lord’s promises as they are written in God’s Word. Thank God for Jesus. In him we have everything we need.

Praise you Jesus, my hope is in you.

Rest for your souls

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30

In Jesus, there is rest for our souls. When you feel like the burden is too much to bear, Jesus is there. He wants us to go to him with all we are carrying. Jesus’ burden is light. In the gentleness and humility of Christ, we can learn of him.

Thanks Jesus, that in you is all I need. Help me learn of you.

Living in Jesus

Living in Jesus

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. Galatians 2:20

The life we live on the earth is one believing in Jesus. Praise God, Jesus gave His life for each one of us. Now everything has changed because we are crucified in Christ Jesus. Living for Jesus is having great purpose, the kingdom of God moving forward every day.

Praise you God for the life of Jesus. Help me to live in the reality that my life is crucified in you Lord.

Jesus our God of peace

The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. Romans 16:20

We may be in the middle at the moment, yet God knows how our story will finish. God wants to bring peace in our lives. He tells us that He will soon crush Satan under our feet. That’s the reality of being a Christian, God has already won the victory. When Jesus died on the cross, he won salvation for us.

Praise you Jesus, thanks for winning the battle for us and being our God of peace.
