Proclaim your faith to others… Day 2
1:03 1 John “We proclaim to you what we ourselves have actually seen and heard so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ." (NLT)

A fellowship is a group of people who have shared interests and objectives. A fellowship of believers share the same faith in the Bible and in the love of Jesus Christ. It tries to show the unity of what we believe so that we can support and uphold one another in our faith. It also includes having that close personal relationship with God through Christ. It means that we are growing in faith each day. Don’t miss a single day of that fellowship with Him!

Click ‘Like’ on this post and then PLEASE click ‘Share’ to send along this verse to friends… both long-time friends and those whom you have just recently met. Ask what is the longest running fellowship which they have in their life. Ask what keeps that so meaningful and tightly connected. Listen carefully to their responses. Tell them about the fellowship that you have with God through Christ. Let them know about the fellowship which you may have through your church or a Christian fellowship group. Invite them to join you some day soon. There is always room for one more! Next, Take Time For God’s Word when you see 1:03 am or pm OR when you hear the word ‘fellowship’ mentioned, you can recall this verse. You may want to take a photo of this verse card and print it out. Put it in your billfold or in your purse. As you are taking our money or credit cards, be reminded of your fellowship with God and your fellowship with other Christians. Say a prayer for THANKS for both! We are SO BLESSED and we don’t always thank God for those blessings. Take a moment now to do so. You will be glad that you did!!

Our prayers go out to all of the Christian led charities whose heart touches tens of thousands of people every day. We pray for Lutheran World Relief (Baltimore, MD) and their quick response to people in their time of crisis. They bring the love of Christ to every situation and they show that love to people in some of the worst situations possible. Help to support them or similar organizations in your area. Volunteer if you are able. It will change your outlook and you will see things with new eyes and a new perspective. Be that blessing to others. Pass it on to grow the fellowship of believers and to introduce more people to the saving grace of Jesus Christ! ... See MoreSee Less

He is the Word of life!… Day 1
1:01 1 John “We proclaim to you the one who existed from the beginning, whom we have heard and seen. We saw him with our own eyes and touched him with our own hands. He is the Word of life." (NLT)

We ended the series in Psalms after many months of great verses. We begin this new series in 1 John and it is appropriate that we start at verse 1. It established the credibility of the author (John) as one who heard it and saw it all firsthand. This was the original Eyewitness news (and it was Good News). It was also John’s personal testimony so it was ‘I witness’ news as well. At this point in history, the other Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke) are well known and have been shared. It still makes sense to state upfront why people should believe the contents of this letter. It is also important for you to be a credible witness to what Jesus is doing in your life. Share the lessons you have seen and heard and learned with others. Continue to pass it on to every generation… forever!

Click ‘Like’ on this post and click ‘Share’ to give this verse to family, friends, and co-workers in His kingdom. Ask what is the latest piece of ‘news’ that they shared with someone else. Ask why they shared that particular piece of ‘news’ and what made it so important that they wanted to tell others about it. Let them know that is how we feel about the Good News of the Gospel about what Jesus came and did for all of us on the cross and through the empty tomb. It is the only ‘news’ that will carry forward into eternity… so it is VERY important. We don’t want anyone to miss it. Then, Take Time For God’s Word when you see or hear any newscast on your phone, TV, or the radio, then think of this verse. You may want to add this verse as an Alarm on your phone at 1:01pm with the title, “1:01 1 John We proclaim to you the one…” Set it to go off weekly on a Saturday. When it rings, see if you can finish the whole verse. If not, reread it a couple of times and try it the next week. Soon, you will recall the whole verse AND you will be reminded to be an ‘I witness’ person who shares his or her faith with those around them. It is great Good News… and there are people who still need to hear it and to believe it. Keep up the great sharing!

We are in the middle of a monthly prayer cycle and we focus our prayers on our government leaders and officials at all levels. We know they need our prayers. Let them know that you pray for them. Pray for wisdom, compassion, and commitment to defend and preserve the freedoms which we cherish. Continue to stand up for what is good, right, and true. Stay blessed to be a great blessing to many others. Pass it on by proclaiming what you have seen Jesus do in and through you! ... See MoreSee Less

We can Praise the Lord…now!… Day 231
115:18 Psalm “But we can praise the LORD both now and forever! Praise the LORD!" (NLT)

Praise the Lord! What a great way to end this series of memorable verses from Psalms. It is the fourth series we have done in Psalms. We will do another one early next year. We will start a new series in 1, 2, 3 John and James next. They will give us some inspirational and motivational verses for us to learn and to use. This final verse here reminds us that we need to Praise the Lord…NOW! If you are like me, we tend to want to wait for some BIG moment or event to offer our sincere praise to God. Yet, we realize that He gives us BIG moments…small moments…and ALL moments. We need to praise Him for each of them as they happen. It will also make you aware of just how many special moments He gives to you each day. Enjoy each of them. Share that joy with others!!

Click ‘Like’ on this post and click ‘Share’ (PLEASE) to pass along this verse to friends anywhere and everywhere. Ask if they ever felt so overwhelmed with good things that they just offered a word of praise to the Lord. Ask what holds them back from offering God a word of praise now for the MANY great deeds He has done for them. Let them know some of the things that cause you to Praise the Lord. By making them aware of such things, it becomes more likely that they will take notice of those same things in their lives, too. Always Take Time For God’s Word© daily. Each new day offer Praise to the Lord and then remember this verse as “115:18” and don’t be afraid to say the words ‘Praise the Lord’ out-loud. Others make ask what you are seeing that makes you want to Praise the Lord. Then, you can tell them. You never know when that witness is the one that finally gets through to them. They will be eternally grateful that you took the time NOW to Praise the Lord. You can even use the abbreviation…'PTL'… as a short-cut phrase. Then they will really ask what that means. God opens many doors for us… trust Him as you go through each of them. Praise the Lord!!

Today we especially focus our prayers on our family and friends. It is easy to skip over them in our daily prayers. We know that God watches them… so we miss the blessing to them and to us as we lift them up… each of them by name… in prayers on their behalf. Tell them that you are praying for them. Ask that they also include you in their prayers. We do that… we support one another in prayer. It binds us together. It shows that we are in the family of God. Even if distance separates us momentarily… His love pulls us tighter together. Stay blessed in ALL ways. Pass it on through your praise to Him… PRAISE THE LORD!! ... See MoreSee Less

115:18 Psalm “But we can praise the LORD both now and forever! Praise the LORD!" (NLT)

We KNOW that we are blessed. We KNOW that He is with us ALWAYS. We KNOW that He is our Savior and Friend. With all of that going for us, we really do need to Praise the Lord…NOW…and we KNOW that we will praise Him forever!!

We can Praise the Lord…now as you Take Time For God's Word throughout each day. It sets the tone for the whole day. When we have an attitude-of-gratitude it shows in what we do and say. People will ask 'what makes you are so happy'... and you can tell them. Share with them a favorite verse. Offer to pray for them. Ask if there is anything you can do to help them. Be that blessing to those around you. Pass it on with your Praise to the Lord... forever. ... See MoreSee Less

May the Lord bless and keep you…always!… Day 230
115:15 Psalm "May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth." (NLT)

We will soon end this series on the book of Psalms. There have been more than 230 verses that we have shared from the Psalms. There is a lot of thanks, praise, and glory given to God throughout the Psalms. When you realize just how blessed you are as an individual and especially for those of us living in the USA, we need to say, “THANK YOU, LORD” each and every day. I know we have problems and challenges to address… and we will. Yet, we have freedoms and resources and opportunities which don’t exist in many parts of the world. Now it is up to us to take those blessings and multiply them for His kingdom and for His glory. Be that great blessing to those around you… share His blessings with them. Thank you!!

Click ‘Like’ on this post and then PLEASE click ‘Share’ to give this verse to family, friends, and neighbors. Ask if they feel they are a blessing to others. Ask how they give or show that blessing to those closest to them. Share with them what you do share blessings. Encourage each other in your giving, if you are trying to out-do your neighbor, do so in showing His love to them. Then, again Take Time For God’s Word© every day. As you count your blessings, recall this verse as “115:15” and then be a wonderful blessing to those near you. This is worth setting an alarm on your phone for 5:15 pm with the title, “PS 115:15 May you be blessed by the Lord,…” When that alarm rings, pause to reflect on the MANY blessings that you have received. Then, look for ways to be a blessing to those around you. Can you imagine a world where people were regularly trying to be a blessing to others? Now, do more that just imagine it… go and make it so! Then see how it changes your world for His glory!

We offer up prayers for all of the youth and children’s choirs and music programs at our churches and fellowship groups. Music is a blessing! It just is. Great words of inspiration. Catchy tunes that you can’t get out of your head for days. Smiling young faces. Voices praising God. You’ve got to love it. (At least I do!) Now, offer your encouragement to them. Support them. Thank their choir or music leaders. Let them know how their music blesses you. Enjoy it and let it touch your heart! Pass in on to everyone that you meet by living for Him and by showing His grace to all that you touch today! Stay blessed…always! ... See MoreSee Less
