Let God fill you with good things… Day 142
81:10 Psalm “I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.” (NIV)

If I asked you to name your favorite food, I am sure you would have no trouble naming (at least) one. If I asked you to name your 10 favorite verses from 10 (of the 66) books in the Bible, would you find that as easy? We should want to be fed on the Word of God as much as we want to be fed on pizza… steak… lobster… or whatever your favorite food was. So, seek His Word and savor it… focus on each word and what it means for you. There are no calories in it yet it will nourish your spirit… forever!

Click ‘Like’ on this post and then click ‘Share’ to give this verse to family and friends. Ask to them to name their favorite restaurant and their favorite food at that restaurant. Ask them to name a favorite Bible verse and why that is a favorite. Pay attention to their response. Share with them your favorite verse. It is a way to get to know people better when you know what verse helps them the most each day. Always Take Time For God’s Word© at various times each day as you see food items to fill you up, and recall this verse as “81:10” and be fed by the Word of God. This verse is one you may want to associate with 8:11 pm with the Reminder of ‘81:10 Psalm …Open wide your mouth’. OR maybe you associate it with brushing your teeth each day and the dentist’s favorite phrase ‘Open wide’….(that would be memorable). Recall that God has led you out of sin and into His kingdom through the blood of Christ. He is prepared to feed you with ‘the bread of life’. Let His goodness fill you to overflowing… then share your blessings with others. You have been blessed!!

We lift up in prayer all of our ministers, pastors, and lay-leaders in our churches and fellowship groups. They have a calling. They have a mission to serve God’s people. They have a ministry to preach His Word. They have A LOT to do. So, offer to help where you can. Let them know that you are praying for them. It will mean a lot to them. Continue your servant attitude as you help those around you. Stay blessed to be that blessing. Pass it on with a desire to be fed by God’s Word everyday. ... See MoreSee Less

Keep God as Number 1 in your life!… Day 141
81:09 Psalm “You shall have no foreign god among you; you shall not worship any god other than me.” (NIV)

If I asked you to track your time for a day, would you be surprised at how you spent it? Sleep (7-8)… work/school (6-8)… meals (2-3)… personal needs… (1-2)… TV/ hobbies (2-4)… family/ friends (2-3)… God (??) It seems that we have time for everything else, except for God. We treat our hobbies or favorite TV shows with more attention than we give to God. Yet, we can change. We can keep God as our highest priority. We can (and will) Take Time For God’s Word throughout each day. When He is first, the other priorities seem to find their proper place. Try it. Live it. Enjoy it…totally!!

Click ‘Like’ on this post (PLEASE) and then click ‘Share’ to forward this verse to friends or family or co-workers or anyone else you can think of. Ask what is their number one priority each day. Ask how often they are able to fit God into their schedule. Listen carefully to their answer. Remind them that putting other things as more important than God is really making them an alternate god… something that they prioritize higher than our true God. It will make them think. It will help them gain perspective. Go for it. Remember to Take Time For God’s Word© multiple times each day as you see items which could become gods to others, and recall this verse as “81:09” and keep God as your highest priority in life. Even if you don’t like math problems, this could be a way to recall this verse. Use 8+1=9 (81:9) OR 81= 9 squared ((81:9). OR set a Reminder on your phone at 8:19 pm with the title, ‘Psalm 81:9 You shall have no foreign god…’ I know some are thinking, ‘I don’t worship idols’ yet we do make other things in our lives to be more important than our relationship with God. Keep Him first! He gave His son to die for you… that’s how much He loved you!
`
Today, add an extra prayer for individual missionaries that you know… name them in your prayers. They may be serving around the world… or down the street. You don’t need to venture far away to find a mission field where people need to hear the Gospel of Jesus. You don’t need to preach to them… just be a friend and show them the love of Christ in all that you do and say. Ask God to open their hearts to hear the Good News. Pass it on to those who have yet to meet their Savior. They will thank you…forever! ... See MoreSee Less

Let His face shine upon you each day!… Day 140
80:03 Psalm “Restore us, O God; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.” (NIV)

Have you ever restored anything… a antique car… a piece of furniture… or something similar? It takes A LOT of work… and patience. Maybe that’s how it is with us in our relationship with God. He needs to strip off the layers of coverings we tried to hide under. He fills in the dents and bumps with His mercy and grace. He then makes us into new creations because of His love. Wow… looking pretty good with all that care and restoration. Now, it is to start anew. We can reflect His light as it shines on us and through us. We can rejoice that we have been saved… and we can be motivated to share His love with others who would like to be restored by Him.

Click ‘Like’ on this post and then PLEASE click ‘Share’ to forward this verse to any of your family, friends or neighbors. Ask if they have ever tried to restore anything before. Ask how it went and what lessons they learned from that experience. Share with them how God has restored us through the love of Christ. Tell them about how that has impacted your life. Let them know that same Good News applies to everyone who seeks forgiveness from God. Then, Take Time For God’s Word© throughout each day as you see anything that has been restored, then think about this verse as “80:03” and praise Him for restoring you to a new life in Him. I had tried to restore a unique old chair that had been passed down to me. I thought it would be fun… I was wrong. There were many layers of paint on it. Under the paint was some pretty beat up wood. The repairs and time to make it look even OK did not justify it for me. We used it as basement furniture. I am glad that God knows how to restore us and He makes us new again. Let the verse today remind us of His amazing grace and love. Now, share that with others!

Our prayers today extend to all of the global world mission organizations like World Vision (Federal Way, WA) and their focus on the children in many of the poorest countries in the world. You can donate to regions, specific types of programs, or you can even sponsor a child in a particular country. We continue to sponsor two children each month. It makes me feel more connected when I know their names and get letters/ notes from them. We keep them in our prayers. Help wherever you can. Be part of world mission efforts. Stay blessed to be a blessing. Pass it on through each contact you make each day… by putting His love into action. ... See MoreSee Less

What did your ancestors leave for you?… Day 139
79:08 Psalm “Do not hold us guilty for the sins of our ancestors! Let your compassion quickly meet our needs, for we are on the brink of despair.” (NLT)

Some of us have traced our ancestry back multiple generations as a way to find out where we came from and how we got here to America. We often find some ‘interesting’ (or even ‘questionable’) relatives in our family tree. No matter what they did, you are not responsible for their actions or the consequences. So, don’t let the past overshadow the future that God has planned for you. It will be awesome. He only wants the best life for you. Seek His plans for you and trust that His compassion will be with you each and every day. He will keep you from despair! Trust in Him!

Click ‘Like’ on this post and then click ‘Share’ to give our verse to your close family and friends. Ask if they have done any DNA tests to find our more about their ancestry. Ask if any of the results surprised them (or their family). Let them know that we are ALL part of the family of God. We are brothers and sisters in Christ. We are free to live our best life in His will. Always Take Time For God’s Word© daily as you think of any of your ancestors, then remember this verse as “79:08” and be thankful for all of the sacrifices and heritage they have passed on to you. My heritage is from Norway. We have traced back a few generations. We have even met a few of the distant relatives. We have also traveled back there to see what the country (and the people) are like. It has been a great heritage. Yet, I have an even better one within the family of God… brothers and sisters around the world…millions upon millions of them. I am humbled and honored to be part of that family. I can’t wait to be in heaven to meet the rest of the family!!
`
Please pray for all of the early responder organizations (like the Red Cross) who are first to arrive in devastating circumstances and who do wonderful things to assist people pick up the pieces (literally) of their lives. What a great service they are to anyone in need. With all of the unexpected Spring weather and tornadoes, there have been MANY places to serve. Help where you can. Donate if you can. Be there when you can as a volunteer. Stay blessed in ALL things. Pass it on without the burden of guilt from our ancestors… live as a new creation in Christ! ... See MoreSee Less

Do you live a life of integrity?… Day 138
78:72 Psalm “And David shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them.” (NIV)

What kind of leader are you? Many would argue that they aren’t leaders… I would beg to differ with that assessment. You may not have a title or position to lead BUT you can still lead others to know Jesus. That is the most critical leadership role that exists. Your life of integrity sets an example that others want to follow… that’s leadership. Your acts of kindness and service becomes the model of real living that friends and family want to emulate… that’s leadership. So, lead from the heart and use skillful hands to pass on His love to those who are watching and waiting for your leadership!

Click ‘Like’ on this post and then click ‘Share’ to route this verse to your family, friends, and neighbors. Ask if they feel that they have a leadership responsibility. Ask how they demonstrate leadership to those around them each day. Share with them the love of Jesus and let them know just how loved they are by God. It is Good News that never grows old. People still need to hear it. Please Take Time For God’s Word© each day as you show leadership or see it in others, then think of this verse as “78:72” and thank God for those leadership opportunities that He gives to you. People are watching you. They want to see how you handle difficult situations or disappointments. They will follow you if you live with integrity and if you share His love and grace in all that you do. AND, integrity needs to be there when no one is watching… only God. We need it to be at our core… to honor Him!
`
We pray for all of the women and men who selflessly serve in our police, fire fighters, and emergency personnel services. I went to the opening of a new fire station recently. The community wanted to be sure that they had the facilities which support the people who serve their residents. They viewed it as critical to support these people in doing their jobs. They perform those jobs very well… even at the risk of their own lives. So, THANK THEM. Support them. Let them know how important they are to you and to your community. Be that kind of blessing to them. Pass it on with integrity in your heart and with skillful hands to help others in need. ... See MoreSee Less
