Prayer
– Lord, help me seek to know You
more each day in our fellowship and to serve others for You. Please continue
bless Isaac with Your wisdom and understanding.
And
we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us understanding so that
we can know the true God. And now we live in fellowship with the true God
because we live in fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the only true
God, and he is eternal life. 1
John 5:20 NLT
Meditate.
Consider what it means to you to know God.
Our goal is to know
the Lord more each day…to understand Him…and with His wisdom and understanding,
serve Him.
When the ground soaks up the falling rain and bears a good crop
for the farmer, it has God's blessing. But if a field bears thorns and
thistles, it is useless. The farmer will soon condemn that field and burn it.
Dear friends, even though we are talking this way, we really don't believe it
applies to you. We are confident that you are meant for better things, things
that come with salvation. For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard
you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for
other believers, as you still do. Our great desire is that you will keep on
loving others as long as life lasts, in order to make certain that what you
hope for will come true. Then you will not become spiritually dull and
indifferent. Instead, you will follow the example of those who are going to inherit
God's promises because of their faith and endurance. Hebrews 6:7-12
We live in fellowship with God and with Christ
Jesus. This God of ours is the true God—just, loving and caring. He has
promised us blessings—greatest of all to me is the one that “He will never
leave us or forsake us.” We know God cares for us. Are we showing His love to
others? Do you do as the writer of Hebrews noted: He will not forget
how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to
him by caring for other believers, as you still do…? Are you
caring for other believers? Make it a goal for today to share and show your
caring love for those you know who serve our risen Lord and Savior. I know
I need to be better at this.
Verses of Salvation ~
I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them;
intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings
and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives
marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who
wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For there is only
one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity--the man Christ
Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:1-5
(Underlined for emphasis.)
Happy Birthday Isaac.
May
God Continue to Bless You as You Mature in Christ.

Byzantine Mosiac at the Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves. Near the Sea of Galilee in Israel. Jesus fed 5,000 men and families with a couple of fish. |
Have you offered food to anyone besides your family lately? Jesus fed 5,000 men and their families…and then later another 4,000 men and their families. That’s took a lot of food…and Jesus just bless a few fish and loaves of bread to do that. A true miracle. What’s on your menu for today? What are you doing to feed the hungry?
