Philippians 4:19

 

And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19 ESV

Please join me this week in praying for those who need help but don't ask for it. Pray that they see the benefits of allowing others to help them. Pray that they have good experiences as a result of opening up to others. Pray that they are served by Christians who show Christ to them. Let's also pray for those who refuse to help, for whatever reason. Pray that God softens their hearts and minds, that he give them servants' hearts so that they may know the joy in working together as one body of Christ and the reward of knowing they are doing God's will.

Do this when you need help

 

Do you ever think something is too trivial to take to the Lord in prayer? Or, do you think something is so huge that God must have allowed it, therefore won't help you through? Do you feel like God must hate you or is punishing you?

     Whatever your thoughts are along those lines, put them aside. Hear me when I say: God wants you to take everything to Him in prayer.

     When you need help, hope, strength, love, pray about it. When you've lost your keys, pray about it. When you are living with chronic pain, pray about it. 

     Our Father loves us. We are His children. Ask Him for help. He may send another of His children to lift you up. He may even remind you where you left your keys. He may strengthen you to see you through another day.

 

Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!

1 Chronicles 16:11 ESV

Trust in the Lord

My son, do not forget my teaching,

but let your heart keep my commandments,

for length of days and years of life

and peace they will add to you.

Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you;

bind them around your neck;

write them on the tablet of your heart.

So you will find favor and good success

in the sight of God and man.

Do not be anxious

This is one of my favorite passages for when I'm feeling anxious, worrying about some problem that will most likely never occur, but it's also a great passage to remind us that God takes care of our every need. We have so much to be thankful for.

But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:30-33 ESV

God will supply every need of yours

And my God will supply every need of yours 

according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19 ESV

We have so much to be thankful for! Rejoice in the Lord's blessings!

Your wonderful deeds

To the choirmaster: according to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David. 
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; 
I will recount all of Your wonderful deeds. 
I will be glad and exult in You; 
I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
Psalm 9:1-2 ESV

Happy Thanksgiving

Please add to your prayers today for those who are suffering mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Today can be a difficult time for many. Those who are spending their first Thanksgiving without a loved one, either because of death, divorce, or distance. Those who are spending this day with family members who are abusive in some way (including emotionally and verbally). Those who are pushing the limits of their physical, emotional, mental abilities in order to spend time with friends and family. Those who are spending this day alone for whatever reason. Pray for this day to be a day of healing and let us bring the peace and calm to the day's festivities as we are His image bearers. Allow others to see our joy that results from knowing Him and trusting in Him. Meditate on your prayers of praise and thanksgiving. When we focus on His blessings, our mood and disposition emanate and emulate the love of Jesus to everyone around us.

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. 

And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing 

one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, 

with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, 

do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, 

giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Colossians 3:15-17 ESV

When you've had a bad day

There are times when we don't feel thankful, when we bemoan our lot in life or feel defeated after a bad day. It's easy during those times to pray only for our own needs and not give thanks, not praise Him, and not think of others' needs. During those difficult times, we maybe pray very little, put off reading His Word, maybe even pull away from our church family. It seems to snowball very quickly which makes the initial reason we turned away even more difficult to handle.
That's what happened to me in the early 1980's. The snowball effect was so great that I forgot about Jesus all together and tried to go it alone. For nearly 30 years I tried to handle everything by myself and those 30 years were the worst of my life.
I can tell you from experience that no matter how bad things get, without Jesus the burden is unbearable, but WITH Jesus, all things are possible and He will never give you more than you can bear. He is there for you to give Him all of your problems, worries, struggles. If you pray, He will listen and He will answer. When things are at their worst, it just means you need to be even more fervent in your prayer life, giving thanks for what is good in your life, counting your blessings, praising Him. Be in the Word, be in fellowship with other Christians.

"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

1 Thessalonians 5:18 ESV

Giving thanks daily

I saw this post on Facebook last month and it has stuck with me ever since. I once heard a sermon where the Pastor preached on this; he said we shouldn't just thank God for what He provides, or for His many blessings, but we should thank Him for specific things. The same is true when we ask for forgiveness for our sins; don't just make it a general blanket statement, but confess our actual individual sins. I did it for a while following the sermon, but got lazy within a short period of time and went back to those blanket statements, until I saw this. This made me stop and go, "Whoa!" (yeah, I really said the word "whoa".) With the multitude of blessings the Lord gives me on a daily basis and everything he provides for me to exist in this world, the very least I can do is thank Him personally, and specifically for as many as I can think of on a daily basis. When something happens that He helps me with, I thank Him then and there; no sense in waiting until "prayer time." This week of Thanksgiving is the perfect time to start this habit or continue it, as part of our daily, unified prayer.

Power of Prayer

The Power of Prayer

I've been in constant prayer for the last two weeks about all of the lonely people in my life. I have felt so helpless and needed guidance. I wanted to be able to DO something!, anything to ease the burden on their hearts and to take away the pain and suffering. This morning, God blessed me with a task. I hope and pray that this will grow into an international daily event that will glorify God and show the world the power of prayer.

Tomorrow, during the 7 am hour, set aside one minute to pray with me. It can be in your car before you walk into work, in the shower, when you wake up, just sometime during that hour. Set an alarm, or write yourself a note. We will pray together on one particular people group a week. I'll send a reminder on

We'll begin tomorrow. Ask your oldest child (grandchild, niece, nephew, cousin, neighbor - anyone you know who is in a public school) the name, or nickname, or even first initial of the worst bully in his or her school. We will be praying for the bullies this week.

The Supremacy of the Son of God

Daily Bible Verse

Colossians 1:15-18 (NIV)

The Son is the image of the invisible God, 

the firstborn over all creation. 

For in Him all things were created: 

things in heaven and on earth, 

visible and invisible, 

whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; 

all things have been created through Him and for Him. 

He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

And He is the head of the body, the church; 

He is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, 

so that in everything He might have the supremacy.

A Call to Worship and Obedience

Daily Bible Verse

Psalm 95:1-7 (NIV)

Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD;

    let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before Him with thanksgiving

    and extol Him with music and song.

For the LORD is the great God,

    the great King above all gods.

 In His hand are the depths of the earth,

    and the mountain peaks belong to Him.

 The sea is His, for He made it,

    and His hands formed the dry land.

 Come, let us bow down in worship,

    let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;

 for He is our God

    and we are the people of His pasture,

    the flock under His care.

Today, if only you would hear His voice,

Note: 

     Anytime you see "LORD" or "GOD" in all capital letters (at least in the New King James version), it is referring to God's Hebrew name "Yhwh," the Eternal God. The name is so sacred to the Hebrews that they wouldn't say it or write it. Instead, they chose to represent His name as "LORD" or "GOD." In English, it has been translated as "Yahweh."

     You'll also note in the New King James version that any reference made to the Lord or to Christ is capitalized, so He, Him, the Word, etc...The New International Version Bible (that I'm using) doesn't use this standard, so I change it to post here. When I was in the fourth grade, we had indoor recess one day and I remember writing bible verses on the classroom chalkboard. My teacher, who was also a member of my church came up and stated very emphatically as he corrected my writing, "Always, always capitalize the first letter whenever referring to our Lord!" I have always remembered that because of his passion in correcting this mistake. I cringe whenever I read references to Him that are not given this respect. I feel blessed being born in this time and this place. Children today would probably get in trouble for writing bible verses on a school chalkboard, and I imagine a teacher would never mention God in front of a student. It's such a shame.
