Subject: Word for Today, Mon, 18 Jun 2001: Weekly Verses

Our list server, welovegod.org, has been changing to a different Internet
Service Provider. The change was supposed to happen over the weekend, but
like many things, ran into delays and problems, spilling into Monday.
I think the problems are resolved. At the risk of duplication, here are
the weekly verses that I first sent out yesterday.

Dear friends,

I received the "Weekly Verses" from Crosswalk.com just after noon
on Monday this week, so I'd like to share them with you right
away, in case any of you would like to use them this week as part
of your devotional time.

Your brother in Christ,
Brian

MONDAY

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the
nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
--Psalm 46:10
New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
History tells me it has been true! Faith trusts it will be
true eternally! Reverent silences, a pause in the hectic rush
of our lives, reminds us that it is true today.

MY PRAYER...
O Father in heaven, may your name be revered and held holy
in my life and my world today. Your will be done, your reign
on earth come with power and might and finality, just as it has
already come in heaven. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.

~~~~~~~~~

TUESDAY

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the
work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night
after night they display knowledge.
--Psalm 19:1-2
New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
God's voice is always speaking. His witnesses give
testimony to his glory, majesty and creative grace. The
universe shouts with joy because behind it's intricate beauty
and power is the One who gave it life, purpose, and intention.

MY PRAYER...
O Great God and Creator of the countless heavens and our own
small, blue planet, thank you for noticing the heart cries of
one so small in a universe so large. I love you, admire you,
trust you, and worship you with wonder. Be exalted in my life,
by words, and my deeds this day. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

~~~~~~~~~

WEDNESDAY

If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts
to our children, how much more will your Father in heaven give
the Holy Spirit to those who ask for him.
--Luke 11:13
New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
Think of all the great gifts you've been given. Next to
Jesus, the gracious sacrifice for our salvation, the greatest
gift we can receive is God's abiding presence in the Holy
Spirit! He is ours if we ask. In fact, when we ask, he is
already there interceding for us!

MY PRAYER...
Abba Father, through the precious Holy Spirit I come before
you asking you to empower me, my loved ones, and my church
through the power of the Holy Spirit. I pray for renewal to
sweep my country and this world led by your Spirit of grace,
power, and love. Through Jesus, the giver of this great gift I
pray. Amen.

~~~~~~~~~

THURSDAY

Our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior
from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.
--Philippians 3:20
New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
No matter what your passport says, if you are a Christian,
there is no earthly country that can hold you, no borders that
can claim you and no flag that flies above you but Jesus and
the Kingdom of Heaven. You have more in common with the
believing aboriginal tribesman of Indonesia, the Christian
refugee in Africa, or the Bedouin brother in Egypt, or the
high-rise business person in Hong Kong who bows to pray in
Jesus name, or the Spirit-filled Brazilian housewife, than you
do your next door neighbor if they don't know Christ as Lord
and Savior.

MY PRAYER...
Glorious God and Almighty Father, I look forward to the day
when people from every language, tribe, nation, and language
join the angels and elders around your throne and worship you
in joy forever. Make us one, if not here, then soon, we ask
you Lord, please come. Amen.

~~~~~~~~~

FRIDAY

The father of a righteous man has great joy; he who has a wise
son delights in him.
--Proverbs 23:24
New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
The greatest gift I can give my father, and my Father, is to
be righteous in my heart and life.

MY PRAYER...
Holy and righteous Father, may my life please you and bring
honor to my father and his name. I know that if I please you,
it will make his heart glad. Help me as I seek to know you and
serve you in ways that show your character in my life. Through
Jesus I pray. Amen.

~~~~~~~~~

SATURDAY

As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has
compassion on those who fear him.
--Psalm 103:13
New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
Compassion. Not pity, not anger, not shame, not impatience,
not intolerance, not rejection, but compassion is what God, my
Father, gives to me. He cares for my pain enough to enter into
my world and share it in Jesus.

MY PRAYER...
Father of Mercies and God of all Compassion, thank you for
not only knowing and caring about my struggles and problems but
sending me help in Jesus and the Holy Spirit. By one I know
your love and mercy and by the other I know your might and
power. May your Spirit of compassion be found in my
relationships. Through the grace of Jesus I pray. Amen.
~~~~~~~~~

SUNDAY

Sing to God, sing praise to his name, extol him who rides on
the clouds -- his name is the Lord -- and rejoice before him.
A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his
holy dwelling.
--Psalm 68:4-5
New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
I can't help but think of what James, Jesus' brothers said:
"Pure religion, undefiled before God the Father is this: keep
oneself undefiled and care for orphans and widows in their
distress." Jesus showed clearly this was the Father's heart in
his ministry. Now it is up to us to continue it!

MY PRAYER...
Father, may my life, my compassion, and my ministry reflect
your heart for those who need care and protection and love.
Give me eyes to see this need more clearly and a heart to
responded more certainly so that your love may be demonstrated
through me. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
