The Word for wisdom:
Proverbs 5:21 (MSG)
Mark well that God doesn't miss a move you make; he's aware of every step you take.
The Word for inspiration:
Psalm 119:9 (NLT)
How can a young person stay pure? By obeying your word.
Psalm 119:11 (NLT)
I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
The Word for encouragement:
Matthew 11:28-30 (NLT)
28 Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light."
My observation:
Today's focal message from the gospel of Matthew has some good news for the weary soul. The load of sin is too heavy for any person to bear.
Isaiah 1:4 (NLT)
Oh, what a sinful nation they are— loaded down with a burden of guilt. They are evil people, corrupt children who have rejected the Lord. They have despised the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on him.
Psalm 38:4 (NLT)
My guilt overwhelms me— it is a burden too heavy to bear.
Romans 6:23 (NLT)
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
I was talking to a friend yesterday, and he said something that struck a responsive chord in me. He said, "If you tell me who you are, I will tell you where you are going". Selah!
If you accept the invitation of Jesus to come to him, you can settle the question today of where you are going. The Word says, "The free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord".
John 1:12 (HCSB)
But to all who did receive Him, He gave them the right to be children of God, to those who believe in His name,
My prayer:
Father God, my dear Father, I praise and thank you for your amazing grace and love that you have demonstrated in your concern for lost humanity. Father, I thank you that the invitation by Jesus to come to him does not exclude anyone. O Lamb of God, I come, and I receive from you the gift of eternal life through Jesus your One and Only Son.
John 3:16 (HCSB)
"For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
