Dear friends,

Do you realize that our attitude toward others can often have a
great deal of influence on how others act? God loves each of us
very much, and He also entrusts those who love Him to encourage
one another, to pray for one another, and to help one another in
any way possible.

This week's collection of Weekly Verses from Phil Ware remind us
that God is the One responsible for judging the world - we are
not. Our role is to earnestly seek Him, love Him, obey Him, and
serve Him. One of His primary commandments, after first loving
God, is to love one another. As you go through the verses for
this week, note the connection between these things by reading
the verses about our relationship with God the Father, Jesus
Christ His Son, then how we serve God by loving and serving each
other.

Dear Lord,

Please help me to apply this week's collection of Your Word to
every area of my life. Help me to center my life around You. As
I understand and appreciate Your purpose for my life, help me to
realize that the every day events around me are part of this
purpose. So in everything I think, say, and do, may it always be
for Your praise and honor, loving You first, and serving those
around me with the love that You've lavished upon me.

Yours in Christ,
Brian

MONDAY

The Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is
our king; it is he who will save us.
--Isaiah 33:22
New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
When we think about God being our judge, we normally think
of falling into judgment. Isaiah reminds us that God being our
judge means that he will be there to judge us based on his
will, his rule and his grace. He is on our side and is looking
to save, not condemn. Using the New Testament idiom, when we
stand before our Judge we see instead our Father.

MY PRAYER...
Holy and Righteous Judge, I am glad that my fate, my future,
and my life are in your hands. I know your love for me because
of the gift of Jesus. I know your desire to save me because of
your loving grace. I know your demand for holiness is met by
the sacrifice of your Son. So God, I gladly and willingly
trust my life, my soul, to you. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
~~~~~~~~~

TUESDAY

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of
them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head
are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than
many sparrows.
--Luke 12:6-7
New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
In a universe so vast, what is our little planet? In a
planet so diverse and so full of life, what are people? Among
all the billions of people alive and who have lived and already
died, what significance do I have? Jesus reminds us that our
significance is great -- not because we are so important but
because we are known personally by God. We don't have to be
afraid, we are known and loved by the One who is and was and is
to come!

MY PRAYER...
Eternal God, Almighty Father, Tender Shepherd, you already
know my heart. You know where I struggle with sin, so please
empower and forgive. You know my fears, so please encourage
and strengthen. You know my immaturity, so please nurture and
grow. You know my weakness and disease, so please comfort and
heal. But even if none of these are answered, I am still awed
by the fact that you choose to know me. Thank you! In Jesus
name I pray. Amen.
~~~~~~~~~

WEDNESDAY

For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble
with salvation.
--Psalm 149:4
New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
Jesus, who left heaven and made himself a servant, did so to
enable the last to be first, the servant to be greatest, and
the least to be best. For ages, the arrogant, abusive and the
powerful have found it easy to reject the call of Christ. But
those who are humble find him to not only be Savior, but also
Conqueror.

MY PRAYER...
Precious Servant, Almighty King, thank you for coming to our
world and serving us at great cost and showing us that we can
reign with you. I look forward to the day every other knee
will join mine as I bow before you as my Lord. Until that day,
I pray that you will use me to bless those so often forgotten
by our busy and glamour-intoxicated world. Amen.
~~~~~~~~~

THURSDAY

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in
trouble.
--Psalm 46:1
New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
Where can we go when all the walls fall and all the armies
crumble and all hope is lost? To the eternal God, who is our
Father. He preserved Israel through the most difficult of
times, protected the Bible from those who would eradicate it,
and has led his Church through troubles and triumphs through
the centuries. He will do the same with us until he brings us
home to himself.

MY PRAYER...
My Rock, My Hope, and My Protector, I thank you for
preserving my life. I thank you for hearing my cries for help
and healing. I thank you for guiding my feet into ways that
have been a blessing. Please, O God, stay close by as I face
the stresses and challenges in my life. Through your Spirit,
enable me to grow and be an example to others as I pass through
life's storm. Through Jesus I ask it. Amen.
~~~~~~~~~

FRIDAY

I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great
riches.

--Psalm 119:14
New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
Our treasure and our truth come from Scripture, God's
guidance to avoid Satan's harmful traps and live in God's
blessed life.

MY PRAYER...
Holy God, thank you for your written word, the Scriptures.
May they come alive in my life just as they do in my heart and
mind. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
~~~~~~~~~

SATURDAY

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit,
who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not
your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with
your body.
--1 Corinthians 6:19-20
New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
We are God's temple! He lives in us and what we do in our
bodies is part of our worship to him. We are called to not
only abstain from impurity, but we are called to glorify God in
our bodies.

MY PRAYER...
Father, I confess to you that I sometimes lose sight of how
precious my body is to you. With aging and the other
challenges that daily remind me that my body is a vessel of
decay, I find it hard to believe that I can glorify you with
it. Please, through your indwelling Spirit, quicken in me a
deeper reverence and appreciation of your presence in me.
Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
~~~~~~~~~

SUNDAY

We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good
works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
--Ephesians 2:10
New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
The Psalmist reminded us that we are fearfully and
wonderfully made and God has something definite planned for us
to do while we are here. We display his craftsmanship and
skill when we intentionally live for him and not like the rest
of the world.

MY PRAYER...
Master, teach me to recognize your opportunities and will
when they come into my life. I want to live for you without
reservation. I pray for boldness to not be shy in sharing my
faith. I pray for patience as I wait for folks to respond. I
pray for protection on those close to coming to Christ. I pray
not for me but for your Kingdom to be displayed in my life.
Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
