What is Your Greatest Need?

Word:

Mark 9:50 (NLT2) 

 Salt is good for seasoning. But if it loses its flavor, how do you make it salty again? You must have the qualities of salt among yourselves and live in peace with each other." 

Prayer:

Father, in the dark and dangerous world, we ask for the wisdom and strength to do the will and work of God. Father, we embrace the word of God that says we must have salt and live in peace with each other. 

Father, by faith in You, we will obey for the glory of God, and the benefit of others and ourselves.

Father, in the words of the hymn writer, "Without Him I could do nothing, without Him I'd surely fail." Father, I thank you that the child of God is never without Jesus.

The Power of the Spoken Word

Word:

Psalm 19:14 (NLT2) 

 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.

Reflection:

Do you realize the power of the spoken word? Listen to what the Bible says about the speech of the disciples of Christ.

John 8:31 (NLT2) 

 Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. 

James 1:19 (NLT2) 

 Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. 

Are you able to tolerate silence in a conversation with others? It’s a discipline worthy of knowing and doing. If you need help in the doing of the will of God, support is just a prayer away.

Prayer:

Father, I am so blessed by the forever love and forgiveness, amazing grace, and tender mercies that are new every morning. 

Father, I honor you in all your generous thoughts and deeds of kindness I continually receive from you.

Father, quicken and align my life to demonstrate the life of your darling son, Jesus the Messiah of God.

How Much Do You Value the Word of God?

2 Timothy 3:16 New Living Translation (NLT)

Psalm 1:1-3 New Living Translation (NLT)

Psalm 1

1 

Oh, the joys of those who do not

    follow the advice of the wicked,

    or stand around with sinners,

    or join in with mockers.

2 

But they delight in the law of the Lord,

    meditating on it day and night.

They are like trees planted along the riverbank,

    bearing fruit each season.

Their leaves never wither,

    and they prosper in all they do.

Do You Love God's Word?

Wonderful things from Your law.
