Today's Verse

He [Jesus] is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
— Colossians 1:17

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Before there was an earth, universe, or nature, there was Jesus! He was before they were made. He will be after they are long gone. In fact, his power and his presence are what hold our world, our universe, and our nature together. He is the sustaining force, the enabling power, and the generous preserver of life as we know it. So since he could provide us these things and they are but a faint anticipation of what is yet to be, won't it be great to see him, just as he is, and share in his glory with him.

My Prayer...
Thank you, Jesus, for your gracious providence this day. Thank you for creating this incredible world in which I live. You are worthy of all praise, honor, glory, and thanks! I look forward to the day, dear Lord, when I can worship you face to face, and give thanks to our Father with you, for his wonderful love. To you, and in your name, dear Jesus, I offer all my thanks and praise. Amen.

Today's Verse :

Restore us, O God Almighty; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.
— Psalm 80:7

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

This passage makes me want to cry out to God: "Please restore us God! Restore us, your people, O God, who have lost their sense of wonder! Restore our old withered hearts to their innocence. Restore our lives to their unsoiled perfection and intention. Restore us to yourself, O God Almighty!" While not every Christian has lost his or her sense of wonder and while not every one of us has an old withered heart, we all need God's presence to shine upon us and renew us!

My Prayer...

O God, the maker of new things, sometimes I feel so old and worn; my soul is weary from the fight. I need your presence and strength to restore me. Please restore me to your side and make your grace alive in me. Please restore me to your love and share it with others through me. Please restore me to your righteousness so others can see your character in me. Please restore me, and not just me, please restore all those who call on your mighty name so that the world may see you in us and come to know your saving grace. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Seven Good Things That Come From Fearing God:

1. The blessing of God’s provision.

“Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him” (Psalm 34:9)

2. The blessing of God’s protection.

“The fear of the LORD leads to life and he who has it will abide in satisfaction: he will not be visited with evil” (Proverbs 19:23

3. The blessing of God’s mercy.

“For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great His mercy toward those who fear Him” ((Psalm103:11)

4. The blessing of God’s goodness.

“Oh, how great is your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have prepared for those who trust in You in the presence of the sons of men! (Psalm31:19)

5. The blessings of God’s abundance.

‘By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life.” (Proverbs22:4)

6. The blessings of God’s response.

“He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them” (Psalm145:19)

7. The blessing of God’s freedom.

“By the fear of the LORD one departs from evil”. (Proverbs16:6)


My Prayer:

LORD,You are my light and my salvation. You are my strength of my life. Of whom, then, shall I be afraid? Even though an entire army may surround me and go to war against me, my heart will not fear (Psalm 27:1-3). I will be strong and of good courage, for I know that You are with me wherever I go (Joshua)1:9) Free me from ungodly fear, for I know that fear is never You.

Guard my heart and mind from the spirit of fear what I am afraid today. Take that fear and replace it with Your perfect love. If I have any thoughts in my mind that are fueled by fear, reveal them to me. Show me where I allow fear to take root and help me to put a stop to it. Take away any fear of rejection and all fear of man from within me and replace it with the fear of the LORD.
