Defend truth, humility and justice every day… Day 79
45:04 Psalm “In your majesty, ride out to victory, defending truth, humility, and justice. Go forth to perform awe-inspiring deeds!” (NLT)

What makes today special? So special that you (and others) will remember it always. We all recall Jesus washing the feet of the disciples. Simple act…not a miracle…just an act of humility and service and of love. Yet, it stands out as a lesson we tell and re-tell often. So, what will you do today (and every day) that shows ‘defending the truth, humility, and justice’. Let it be known that you ‘perform awe-inspiring deeds’ to show that Christ is living and working through your life. I can’t wait to see what God will do through you!!

Click ‘Like’ on this post and then PLEASE click ‘Share’ to commend this verse to all of your friends on social media and on your email list. Ask who they believe is making the most impact on our world today. Ask what they are doing to have an impact on the world around themselves. Let them know that simple and consistent acts of love and kindness can be inspiring and effective. Share with them why the love of Christ compels us to take action. Please Take Time For God’s Word© as you see people ‘defending truth, humility, and justice’, then remember this verse as ’45:04’, and thank Him for all of the ‘awe-inspiring deeds’ He has done through you. “Change your attitude = Change your life.” It is a catch-phrase but it is true. We are daughters and sons of the King of Kings. The victory has been won. We should celebrate that every day. Because of that, we can defend truth… act in humility… and preserve justice for those around us. More importantly, we have ALL that we need to ‘perform awe-inspiring deeds’. There should be great and compelling stories which others will tell about us for generations to come. Stories of how Jesus changed our lives. Stories of great kindness and compassion. Stories of great generosity and unselfish giving. Stories of forgiveness, reconciliation, and love. Make each day memorable… and give God the glory for it all! Be unforgettable!

We continue to pray for all of the hospice and Alzheimer’s care facilities and their patients. We also pray for their families and friends. It is painful to watch and to interact with others who are failing in health or with the loss of memory. Yet, that is the time they need us the most. To be there. To help them through this time. To listen. To pray. To comfort. AND to celebrate those memorable days in their lives when they made an impact on others. We all want to have an impact… we want our lives to count and to matter. With the help of God, they will matter… forever. Be that blessing. Pass it on through ‘awe-inspiring deeds’ of love and kindness and service to Him! ... See MoreSee Less

Who commands victories for you?... Day 78
44:04 Psalm “You are my King and my God. You command victories for Israel.” (NLT)

Who is King in your life? It is an important question. The answer will have eternal consequences. Some say ‘cash is king’. Others say ‘I command my own destiny’. Still others are searching for the one that they can follow. Yet, we KNOW that there is only one King-of-Kings… He is our God. He has loved us and has sent His son, Jesus, to die for us. He has proven His love for each of us. Now, it is our chance to prove our love for Him. Declare Him to be the King of your heart and of your life. Live for Him daily!!

PLEASE click ‘Like’ on this post and then click ‘Share’ to forward this verse to your family, friends, and neighbors. Ask who they believe is the most recognized leader in our world today. Ask how long they feel that person will have power or influence in our world. Remind them that there is only one King-of-Kings. Share with them the joys that you find in serving our God each day. Let them know that they too can claim His victories by becoming followers of the cross of Christ. Always Take Time For God’s Word© as you think of our God as the King-of-Kings, then consider this verse as ’44:04’, and praise Him for His victories in your life. You may want to have this set as a Reminder on your phone at 4:44 pm with the title, ‘44:4 Psalm… You are my King’. We don’t always think about a King here in the USA. We seem to believe that we can handle our own governing and protecting. We still need to realize that EVERYONE is subject to the highest authority… God. No one will bypass His judgment at the end times. We know that. We also know that we are His forgiven and reconciled sons and daughters. We are now part of His family… forever. That is why we can live freely and joyfully now. He has already won our victories. We are on the winning side. How great is that!!!

Please pray for all of the nursing homes and assisted living facilities with their patients, staff, and the families of those who are staying at those places. When needed, these locations become a refuge for those who require more intensive care and support. They provide what most families cannot give to their loved ones. We need to reach out to those we know in those accommodations. They need to know they are not forgotten. They need to know that they are loved. Be that blessing… by phone… by text… by email… or with a personal visit. Pass on the blessings which we KNOW are ours from the King-of-Kings. ... See MoreSee Less

Thank God for His unfailing love!… Day 77
42:08 Psalm “But each day the LORD pours his unfailing love upon me, and through each night I sing his songs, praying to God who gives me life.” (NLT)

In this life, we all seem to want a warranty…in case (or when) something fails… 6 months… 100,000 miles… parts & labor… etc. We expect things to fail. That’s what happens in our world. That is NOT what happens with God. He NEVER fails. ALL of His promises are true. What He said He would do…He ALWAYS does them… perfectly. So, when He promises His unfailing love to us… it is FOREVER! Day and night we can trust in that promise. It is He who gives us this life to live fully… and an eternal one that lasts forever!

Click ‘Like’ on this post and then remember to click ‘Share’ to promote this verse to ALL of your friends on social media and on your email list. Ask what item in their life has lasted the longest. As when they think it will wear out or give out from extended use. Let them know how they can enjoy the unfailing love of God. Share the fact that Jesus died to give them new life… one that lasts forever. Continue to pray for these friends. Then, Take Time For God’s Word© as you begin each new day, then consider this verse as ’42:08’, and thank God for the life that He gives to you. Just one more math reminder that ‘4 times 2 equals 8’ (42:08). As you see the numbers ‘4’ or ‘2’ or ‘8’, you will think of this math problem and then you can recall this verse. I enjoy verses that talk about how God pours out His love for us. These verses state… unfailing… overflowing… spilling into our laps… abundantly… and so much more. God doesn’t give us just a little… or barely enough… or what we have earned… NO, in ALL cases we see how God lavishes His love and mercy and grace upon us. It is SO MUCH that we have extra to give to others. Let us do that often… give to others from the abundance of God’s love for us. Pass it on generously!

We now pray for all of the Christian schools and pre-schools around the world. There are a great many of them! Thank God for each of them. We need their efforts to continue sharing the love of Christ with the children of today who will become the leaders of tomorrow. We need the prayers of Christians everywhere to support those who are building up others in the faith. If you were a teacher, THANK YOU! You have done a great service to us all. Encourage them. Support them in prayer. Volunteer to help if you are able. Be one who shows ‘His unfailing love’ to others around you. Be that blessing… and you will be blessed in the giving! Shine brightly for Him today! ... See MoreSee Less

What are you thirsting for in life?… Day 76
42:02 Psalm “My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?” (NIV)

Someone once told me about the rules of 3 in staying alive: Three minutes without air. Three days without water. Three weeks without food. Yet, we also need to be reminded that we are ALL only one heartbeat away from eternity… we are ALL just that close to meeting God. So, as thirst is something we need to take care of often each day, we should also thirst after His Word in our lives often each day. Using the ideas within Take Time For God’s Word can help you bring to mind His Living Water many times each day. ‘When you check the time, think of a verse’… any verse will be fine. He will use it to help guide you so that you will thirst for even more of Him!

Click ‘Like’ on this post and then please click ‘Share’ to route this verse to your family or friends, and co-workers in His kingdom. Ask what is the longest time they ever went without being able to drink water. Ask how that made them feel and what went through their mind as the time passed by. Share with them the Living Water that we have in Jesus Christ. Let them know that all who drink from it will have eternal life where we will thirst no more. Then Take Time For God’s Word© as you see a drinking fountain or bottles of water, then consider this verse as ’42:02’, and remember to treat His Word as a fountain of living water for your refreshment. This could be another math reminder of ‘4 minus 2 equals 2’ (42:02). As you see the numbers ‘4’ or ‘2’, you could think of this equation and then recall this verse. There are many organizations which promote digging wells to provide fresh water to those who have none readily available (e.g. Water.org). Still others provide copies of the Living Water found in the Bible (e.g. American Bible Society or Bible League). These are all good and worthwhile missions and ministries to help and support those in need. Share in these or other similar ministries to be the blessing which others are praying for each day. You can do this. Pass it on through a cup of cold water or a well-chosen verse given to those who need it the most!

We turn our focused prayers going out for all of the Sunday School teachers and helpers at all levels of teaching and training in our churches and fellowship groups each Sunday. It is crucial to get our young children involved in Sunday School. They learn songs. They hear Bible stories. They even learn Bible verses. These will help them their whole life-long. What a great investment. Say ‘Thanks’ to the Sunday School teachers that you know. Encourage them. Help them. Let them know how much you appreciate their efforts. What a blessing it will be to them to know that others notice and care about them. Pass it on by being that cup of water or that cup of blessings given to others today! ... See MoreSee Less

He is with you…in sickness and in health… Day 75
41:03 Psalm “The LORD sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness." (NIV)

Remember a time when you were sick… really sick. It was awful. Everything ached. Everything hurt. It seemed like it lasted… and lasted. You looked for relief. You prayed for healing. You wanted to be free from that illness, brokenness, or disease. You wanted to be healthy again. We should have that same longing and desire to be freed from our sins. We want to be in a healthy relationship with our Lord. We don’t want to be burdened and crippled by past sins. He is waiting. He hears and He responds. Bring Him ALL of your requests for help, health, healing, forgiveness, and a new life. Call on Him today!

Please click ‘Like’ on this post and then click ‘Share’ to send on this verse to all of your family, friends, and neighbors. Ask what was their worst illness or accident where they needed healing. Ask how they dealt with it and what they did to get through it. Let them know about the power of prayer and all that God has done to restore us. Let them know that we don’t always understand God’s plan and why He takes time to give us healing or restoration. Yet, we know that it is all meant for our benefit…now and forever. Remember to Take Time For God’s Word© as you see people with an illness or medial condition, then consider this verse as ’41:03’, and be there to help and support them through such challenging times. You could recall this as the math problem of ‘4 minus 1 equals 3’ (41:03). As you see the number ‘4’, you will think of this problem and then this verse. Please reach out to those who are suffering from long-term illnesses and give them hope and encouragement. We are called to serve those who need healing. Be there for them. Be the blessing they are praying for. Let them know they are not alone. Pray with them and for them. Then watch for what God has planned for them. He is faithful!

Our prayers continue for all of the youth ministers and leaders in our churches or in our fellowship groups. We need to keep our focus on the next generations of Christians. We need to give them all the support they need to deal with a hostile world that wants to derail or destroy the faith of our youth. We need to support the youth programs. We need to volunteer to help share our faith. It is vital. It is going to help determine the next phases of our churches as our youth take leadership roles. THANK YOU for your support!! Keep it up. Stay blessed in ALL that you are doing for His kingdom. Pass it on to help restore the lost to know a Savior and healer of both body and soul! ... See MoreSee Less
