Daily Prayer_May 25, 2011

The Word for wisdom:

Proverbs 25:19 (HCSB)
¹⁹ Trusting an unreliable person in a time of trouble is like a rotten tooth or a faltering foot.

The Word for inspiration:

Psalm 20:5 (HCSB)
⁵ Let us shout for joy at your victory and lift the banner in the name of our God. May the Lord fulfill all your requests.

The Word for encouragement:

Romans 8:1 (HCSB)
¹ Therefore, no condemnation now exists for those in Christ Jesus,

My observation:

This world can be a daunting place to live. The problems we face are overwhelming if we are trusting in the resources of this world alone. The resources of man will eventual fail you. However, we don't have to depend upon the resources of man alone. Our Maker knows our condition, and he has provided a way out of our predicament.

John 3:16 (HCSB)
¹⁶ "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.

Our focal verse, Romans 8:1 should give every believer a great deal of comfort and peace of mind in this trying time in which we live. In this temporal world we will never find peace, but those who are in Christ already have the peace of God abiding in them. When you believed in Christ you received eternal life.

What an amazing thing it is to know that for those who are in Christ that there is no condemnation. The person who is genuinely in Christ believes that their past sins, present welfare, and future destiny are covered by Christ Jesus.

Romans 6:3-5 (HCSB)
³ Or are you unaware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
⁴ Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in a new way of life.
⁵ For if we have been joined with Him in the likeness of His death, we will certainly also be in the likeness of His resurrection.

My prayer:

Father God, Sovereign Lord, I am so thankful for my position of being in Christ. Father, everyday is a blessed day because of what Jesus has done for me. Father, I thank you for the overwhelming victory I have since Jesus came into my heart. I am so thankful that nothing can separate me from my God, in whom I completely trust.

Romans 8:37 (HCSB)
³⁷ No, in all these things we are more than victorious through Him who loved us.
