This Week’s Theme – Answered Prayers
October 30, 2018
You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.
James 4:3
Thought For Today
It’s good to ask for God’s blessings on our life. It’s also a great idea to ask God to bring fruit for our labors. But, remember the purpose.
Many of our unanswered prayers are for things we want just for our benefit. God is interested in enlarging our borders of influence, increasing our resources and giving us all good things, for a purpose that glorifies Him and fulfills His will.
Seek God’s will. Ask boldly for His blessings. But, commit yourself today to use those resources to glorify God and generously advance His gospel.

This Week’s Theme – Answered Prayers
October 29, 2018
Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
I John 5:14-15
Thought For Today
Christ gives us the confidence to bring all our prayer requests to God in Jesus name. We are invited to ask for all our needs, all our burdens, and bring Him a plea for help in all our circumstances. Through Jesus Christ, all our requests are submitted to God, and He is waiting to answer according to His will.
So pray, because you have access to God and He delights in hearing from you.

This Week’s Theme – Remember
October 25, 2018
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I muse on the work of Your hands.
Psalm 143:5
Thought For Today
The more we remember the power of God, the less the cares of this world overwhelm us.
Remember the “days of old.” Recall how God did the supernatural in the Bible, and even in the lives of our ancestors.
Notice God’s miraculous creation and regularly focus on the beauty of His creation. When you pay attention to these things, your understanding of the power of God is bigger than your fear of man.

Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your goodness’ sake, O LORD.
Psalm 25:7
Thought For Today
We are not good people. Not by our nature, anyway. But when God forgives, He forgets. That is a powerful truth. There are many things worth remembering in life, but here is what you need to remember. Remember the great mercy God has bestowed on you and remember His incredible spirit of forgiveness.
Now, here is what you need to forget. Forget the sins of your past and move forward with a clear understanding of living in the love of a forgiving heavenly Father.

This Week’s Theme – Remember
October 23, 2018
When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches.
Psalm 63:6
Thought For Today
When David penned the words of Psalm 63, he was writing from experience of a life that was often chaotic. He may not have always laid his head down in the same place two nights in a row. Wherever he laid down, thoughts of God laid down with him.
Here is the difference between the wicked heart and the Godly heart. The sinful heart never thinks about God, but the Godly heart can’t help but remember God. Not only did he remember God, but he also chose to meditate on Him.
If you have trouble sleeping at night, remember God and meditate on Him. You may find a few minutes remembering His blessings are more energizing than the few minutes of sleep you could have gotten.

October 22, 2018
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They have bowed down and fallen; But we have risen and stand upright.
Psalm 20:7-8
Thought For Today
The difference between those who place their faith and trust in Christ and those who don’t is in where we put our confidence. The Christian puts his trust in God; the unbeliever puts his trust in everything else.
Read these two verses carefully and notice the results, one has fallen, and the other will rise up.
“Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They have bowed down and fallen; But we have risen and stand upright.”
Psalm 20:7-8
