Word for Today, Mon, 7 Jun 2004: Weekly Verses
Posted by: masinick <masinick@...>
Dear friends,
Many weeks, at or near the beginning of the week, I share with
you the Weekly Verses from Phil Ware. This week's collection
focus on the nature of God, who He is, how we interact with Him,
and how we interact with one another.
Yours in Christ,
Brian

MONDAY
Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth
and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just
gone by, or like a watch in the night.
--Psalm 90:2 and 4
New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
So many things about our lives are uncertain. This one
thing, however, is sure: no matter where, when, or how long,
God will be there and will be with us.
MY PRAYER...
Everlasting Father, I find great comfort in knowing that I
cannot be in a place or time where you are not. Stir my
courage through your Spirit that I may be more bold, by your
power and presence, to share the Gospel of Jesus. Through whom
I pray. Amen.
~~~~~~~~~
TUESDAY
The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the
feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights.
--Habakkuk 3:19
New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
"The Lord is my strength!" Wow, what power we have in his
abiding and empowering presence in the Holy Spirit.
MY PRAYER...
Sovereign God and Almighty Father, be not only my strength,
but the strength of those battling depression, grief and
despair. I ask your blessings especially and specifically for
_________ at this time of difficulty and struggle. Through
Jesus I ask this. Amen.
~~~~~~~~~
WEDNESDAY
Jesus said, "Wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads
to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the
gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few
find it.
--Matthew 7:13-14
New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
The world wants a Savior but not a Lord. The New Testament
is clear, a Savior who is not Lord is no Savior and no friend.
If the Old Testament showed us anything, it is that God's
seemingly bizarre laws were written not for his fascination but
for his people's preservation. Let's not only call Jesus Lord
this week, let's live in a way that shows that he controls our
lives and his Spirit produces our character.
MY PRAYER...
Most Holy Lord, please take control of my life and my will
so I may be wholly yours, not just in word, but in thought and
in deed as well. Amen.
~~~~~~~~~
THURSDAY
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may
have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
--Colossians 3:13
New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
How can I not forgive a brother for whom Christ died, when
I know what God paid to forgive me?
MY PRAYER...
Holy Father, I commit today to release any grudge or
bitterness that I have against one of your children. I am
sorry for not reflecting your grace and mercy which you
lavished on me. But Abba Father, I need the help of your Holy
Spirit to relinquish my claim on the wrongs committed against
me and to treat those who have hurt me as full siblings in your
family. Empower me as I commit to follow your example in
forgiving, even when it is hard. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
~~~~~~~~~
FRIDAY
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.
~~~~~~~~~
SATURDAY
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.
~~~~~~~~~
SUNDAY
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.
