Live a good life…not a ‘goods’ life… Day 20
2:12 1 Peter “Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.” (NIV)

We may wonder sometimes if anyone really notices that we are trying to live Godly lives… doing what’s right… caring for others… supporting causes which truly help people… and more. We still get accused by others. We still have problems. We still have needs. Yet, through it all, we can KNOW that it matters to God. We matter to God. And He is walking with us daily!!

Click “Like” on this Post and click “Share” to pass this one on to family, friends, and neighbors. Ask if they feel that we live in a pagan nation (i.e. worship of many different gods). It sounds hard to believe but it is true. While Christianity may still be a majority, there are MANY other religions growing stronger in the USA. Share what you believe and why. Then, Take Time For God’s Word© at 2:12 am or pm and as you pass by any pagan worship centers, then remember this verse and ask for His continued blessing on our land. Think of this verse with the pattern of 2-1-2 (2:12 1 Peter). If you can remember “Live such good lives”, then you will likely remember the rest of the verse. Look at it throughout the week and you will know it.

Today is our day to remember those organizations like Exodus World Service who help refuges suffering from persecution to get resettled. They provide people, places, supplies, mentoring, and more so that these families can restart and rebuild their lives. We cannot begin to understand what our lives would be like to flee from our homes, our families, and our countries and then to live in refugee camps for years hoping to move to a new country. God hears their prayers and uses people like us to help others begin again. Just as Christ gave us a new life, we can help others along the way. Be that blessing! ... See MoreSee Less

Act differently…Mercy found you… Day 19
2:10 1 Peter “Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” (NIV)

We are now ‘people of God’. That means something. It really means everything. The reason it means so much is that we have been shown GREAT mercy. Mercy is NOT getting what we do deserve. WOW! As a result, we act differently. We think differently. We love differently. All because what He did for us changed us… for the better. Live like you really mean it!

Click “Like” on this Post and click “Share” to give this to all your friends on email and social media. Ask what group (only one) that they most relate to…family… age group… nationality… ethnicity… political… etc. Ask why? Let them know that we identify as being part of ‘the people of God’. Tell them about mercy. Talk to them about grace. Let them in on the Good News about Jesus. Everyone needs Good News… we have the best. Continue to Take Time For God’s Word© at 2:10 am or pm and as you see acts of mercy, then remember this verse and thank Him for it. Think of this as ‘once…now… once…now’. The first is people; the second is mercy. Just a few words can trigger the memory of the verse AND the great message it contains for all of us!

Please offer your prayers today for community food banks and soup kitchens. I know many of you contribute regularly to these groups. THANK YOU! For others, it is usually around the holidays or winter months. Consider expanding your donations throughout the year. If we each gave just one or two cans of soup, peanut butter, or other canned goods, we could fill the pantries year-round. Do whatever you can. THANKS for all that you do in this area and in so many others. Be His light to this darkening world. Stay blessed!!! ... See MoreSee Less

Do you know who you are?... Day 18
2:09 1 Peter “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” (NIV)

We have been set aside for a purpose. We are a part of God’s great plan and each of us has a role to perform. It is an important role. It was designed just for you. He will help to shape you into a perfect fit for His purposes. What a great place to be!!

Click “Like” on this Post and click “Share” to pass this on to family and close friends. Ask if they are ready for the role(s) which God has planned for them. Ask if they are clear on their purpose. Pray with them and for them to know His will and to follow it. If it is not yet clear to you, then continue to pray and serve others as you seek His guidance. Remember to Take Time For God’s Word© at 2:09 am or pm and as you realize that you are part of a chosen people, then think of this verse and praise Him for it. If you can, print out this verse/ verse card. Tape it to your bathroom mirror. You will be reminded of just how important you are to God as you start each day. You are priceless!! Live that way!

We extend our prayers today for foster children and foster families. There are still great needs in this area. There are kids who have had some tough times and just need the love and stability of a family. There are families who have the heart for such kids. Help them to meet up. Support them however you can. If this is your family’s mission, be blessed in what you are doing for others! Continue to pass it on! Stay blessed always! ... See MoreSee Less

Trust our firm foundation... Day 17
2:07 1 Peter “Yes, you who trust him recognize the honor God has given him. But for those who reject him, "The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.“” (NLT)

Cornerstone. With all of the metal and glass in our buildings today, we may lose the significance of that ‘cornerstone’. It is that pivotal part of the foundation by which everything else is measured and guided. It must be true and solid for the building to be permanent. That is what Jesus is to our faith. He is the anchor. He is the reference point. He is the basis for our foundation of belief. Keep hold to that firm foundation every day!

Click “Like” on this Post and click “Share” to pass this on to friends, co-workers, or neighbors. Ask if they have heard this verse. Ask what they think it means. Listen carefully to what they say. Help them if they are a bit off in their understanding. Share Good News with them about what Jesus did for us all. Next, Take Time For God’s Word© at 2:07 am or pm and as you pass by a church or civic building which may have a cornerstone, then remember this verse. Take a photo of this verse card. Put it in your Favorites album on your phone. Look at it often to be reminded of the importance of Jesus as your cornerstone in life. Praise Him for that!

We are praying for adoption service organizations today. We pray for them monthly. We refer to Evangelical Child and Family Agency as an example. They have been important to our family. You may have others that are meaningful to you. Keep them always in your prayers… for staff, families adopting, people giving up children for adoption, and all who are touched by this event. May all be blessed because of it. Pass it on! Share if you can! ... See MoreSee Less

What we long to taste... Day 16
2:03 1 Peter “now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.” (NIV)

To understand verse 3, we need to see verse two: “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,” (NIV) Once we have had that ‘spiritual milk’ then we will want more from God’s Word. We will savor everything that is offered to us. Like Psalm 34:8b says, “taste and see that the Lord is good.” Come and dine with Him often! (no calories, too!)

Click “Like” on this Post and click “Share” to give this to family, friends or neighbors. Ask if they are planning a family gathering during the summer. Ask if there are favorite foods that they hope to make or to eat. Let them know that we feel God’s Word is our food to grow in our faith. Share a verse or two. Let them hear His Word from you. Then Take Time For God’s Word© at 2:03 am or pm and as you think of your favorite food, then remember this verse. Set this as a appointment in your phone’s calendar for 2:03pm each day. Mark it as “Taste that God is good”. It will be easy to remember this short verse and to be fed by His Good News.

Our prayers also go out to ALL of the staff and workers in our public schools from PE instructors, librarians, office workers, nurses, bus drivers, custodians, etc. There are so many involved to make our educational system work. Many have a strong Christian faith and consider this their acts of service, and it is. We are grateful for all of them. Tell them so when you see them. Pass on that blessing so that they can bless others where they work. Stay blessed in all that you do!! ... See MoreSee Less
