How to be compelled and convinced… Day 87
5:14 2 Corinthians “For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.” (NIV)

We often see Paul remind the Corinthians (and us) that what he does is not for any appreciation or praise by men. He does it out of his love and passion for Christ. He would often be put in some crazy situations yet that is where he felt called to be and to serve. Is that how you feel at times? Yes, many of us have. Yet that is when we trust the most and when our faith develops to even deeper levels. It is during those times that we can only trust in God as we know that we cannot do it on our own. Stay faithful!!

Click “Like” on this post and click “Share” to pass on this verse to your family, friends, and neighbors. Ask if love ever compels them to do certain things… for family… for friends… for their church. Ask what makes it so compelling. Tell them about why it is so compelling for you to share His love and His teachings with others. State it clearly. State it plainly. State it boldly. Then Take Time For God’s Word© at 5:14 am or pm as you feel compelled today, then remember this verse. Print this verse card about the size of a business card and keep it in your pocket. You will see it with your other cards. Just as you are compelled to use them as you shop, remember that Christ’s love compels us, too. Show His love in all that you do.

Today our prayers focus on the Sunday School teachers and leaders in our churches and fellowship groups. It takes time to prepare the lessons. It takes time to give the lessons. It takes time to setup and to cleanup. And they do this for the love of Christ and to make Him known to their students (of all ages). Tell them THANKS! Offer to help where you can. Be regular in your attendance. Getting an early start learning the Bible verses and stories will last a lifetime (and beyond)! Pass it on… purposefully. ... See MoreSee Less

Make this your goal…please Him!… Day 86
5:09 2 Corinthians “So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.” (NIV)

Paul poses an interesting comparison in earlier verses by stating that when he is in this body, then he is away from the Lord,… but if he is away from this body, then he is with the Lord. While it would be better for him to be with the Lord, he is tasked with being here to help others to know Jesus and to follow Him. As we get a bit older, it can sometimes seem like our ‘mission’ is over YET if we have eyes to see, then we will behold a whole ‘mission field’ of opportunities still waiting for the Good News of the Gospel. So, stay engaged in this great calling and continue the work of the Lord until He comes again!

Click “Like” on this post and click “Share” to give this verse to your family and close friends in the faith. Ask if they ever feel this way…that is ‘away from the Lord’. Ask what their next mission challenge will be. See if that is something you can help to support and to pray for. Let them know what you are pursuing. Ask for help if needed. We are all part of the body of Christ. Take Time For God’s Word© at 5:09 am or pm as you think of your body, then consider this verse and your goal to please Him. Set a Reminder for this time (5:09). Put in the title, “our goal to please Him”. That will give you enough to remember the whole verse and to put His love into action RIGHT NOW!

We include in our prayers all of the youth pastors or special needs pastors in our congregations. These servants may have a focus on kids, teens, college aged students, or even young married couples. All have unique sets of challenges and need help to understand and follow God’s will during those challenging years. Some pastors may have the focus on shut-ins, hospital visitations, etc. There again are some special needs where God’s plans and directions may need to be explained and reinforced in the lives of some of our ‘senior’ members (and that includes some of us)! Stay blessed. Pass it on… demographically. ... See MoreSee Less

Live by faith!... Day 85
5:07 2 Corinthians “For we live by faith, not by sight.” (NIV)

If you have ever been in a place that is totally dark with no flashlights, that gives you a perspective about not being able to see. Fortunately, we are not in the dark about God and His Word. It requires us to have faith in His promises. To have faith in His guidance in our lives… even when we are unsure ourselves. To have faith that all things will work for our good. Yes, if we have faith, then we can be bold in our witness about Him. Step out in that kind of faith each day!

Click “Like” on this post and click “Share” to give this verse to your family, friends, and co-workers in the faith. Ask if they have ever been temporarily blind and could not see. Ask what that felt like or would feel like to them. Then let them know about the faith that we have in His Word and what that means in our every day life. Plan to Take Time For God’s Word© at 5:07 am or pm as you think about your sight, then remember this verse and living by faith. This is just eight short words. You likely know it already. Now we need to anchor it in with the other great verses that we have learned. Know ‘faith’ and ‘sight’ and you will know this verse.

We offer up our prayers today for our pastors, ministries, or lay leaders. Tell them that you are praying for them and the important work that they are doing. Speak words of appreciation and gratitude. Be a volunteer in some aspect of the work in your church or fellowship group. You will feel more connected with the body of Christ AND you will be helping to support the ministry of love which comes from Christ. Stay blessed. Pass it on...faithfully! ... See MoreSee Less

Best guarantee ever!!… Day 84
5:05 2 Corinthians “God himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit.” (NLT)

While we have the promise of our home up in heaven some day (soon), we have an even better guarantee that is with us all of the time. Christ said that the Holy Spirit will dwell among us. This is an ever-present part of the Triune God that goes with us in all that we do. As we make our choices in life, we should remember that the Holy Spirit is with us. Would that make you choose differently? Choose to follow the plan and the will of God. Best place to be anytime or all of the time!

Click “Like” on this post and click “Share” to pass on this verse to your family, friends, and co-workers in the faith. Ask what their best guarantee is for anything they have in life. Ask if those guarantees ever fail. Tell them about the guarantee which God has made and which He has assured to us by sending His Holy Spirit. That is a guarantee we can count on forever! Take Time For God’s Word© at 5:05 am or pm as you think of guarantees you may have, then think about this verse and the Holy Spirit as our guarantee. You may want to print this card and put it with the other guarantees which you may have on appliances, cars, etc. That way you will be reminded of the ultimate guarantee given to us by God. Wow! What a great blessing we have each day because of the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Our prayers today go out to specific missionaries from your church or fellowship groups. Pray for them by name. Reach out to them today to let them know that you are praying for them. Offer help if you can. Be there for their needs as you are able. Our mission team returned from Ghana where they delivered eye classes and sun glasses to hundreds upon hundreds of people who came to improve their sight. We are thankful for a great trip and they are already planning one for next year. Once you see the great needs of others, you will want to make that a passion to serve them as well. Stay blessed. Pass it on…visibly. ... See MoreSee Less

We are all tent dwellers… Day 83
5:01 2 Corinthians “For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.” (NIV)

Tent dwellers? We have nice homes with security systems, locks, etc. But that is not the body that you live in… that is what is compared to a tent. It is portable. It is flexible. It is meant to be picked up and moved. And it is temporary. That is just like our bodies. Yet, our souls are everlasting and where we spend eternity matters… A LOT! So set you sights on our real home and all that God has planned for us there. Just continue to invite others to join this amazing life which will not end!

Click “Like” on this post and click “Share” to pass on this verse to friends on social media and in your email list. Ask if they are planning on down-sizing when they get into retirement. Ask what their ultimate housing needs will be. (It will make them really think about that). Let them know that you have that already taken care of. It will be in a place that is truly out-of-this-world. Share what you believe and why that gives you comfort and strength each day. Pray with and for those friends. Pray that God will soften even the hardest of hearts to be open to His Word. Then you can Take Time For God’s Word© at 5:01 am or pm as you see your house today, then remember this verse to think of the eternal home in heaven. Save the verse card to your Photos and put it in a Favorites album. Scroll through those Favorites whenever you have a few minutes while waiting for commercials to end or lines to clear or the microwave to finish cooking. It only takes a couple of minutes to enjoy and benefit from any number of your Favorite verses.

Today we pray for global missions and organizations like World Vision which reaches children in some of the poorest villages and countries around the world. We really cannot imagine what life is like in those places. World Vision provides food, clothing, education, water (e.g. wells), medical care, and more depending on the needs. I have mentioned before about being a sponsor to young children to help contribute to their needs. When the child grows up, there is always another child who still needs support. Consider it. Help where you can. Pray often for these organizations and their impact. It has an eternal outcome. Pass it on… globally. ... See MoreSee Less
