Today’s Bible Verse, Reading, Devotion, Worship Song and Prayer

Today’s verse

Romans 6:16 NLT
Don’t you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living.

Matthew 10
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+10&version=NLT

Matthew 10:25-28 NLT
[25] Students are to be like their teacher, and slaves are to be like their master. And since I, the master of the household, have been called the prince of demons, the members of my household will be called by even worse names! [26] "But don’t be afraid of those who threaten you. For the time is coming when everything that is covered will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all. [27] What I tell you now in the darkness, shout abroad when daybreak comes. What I whisper in your ear, shout from the housetops for all to hear! [28] "Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

JESUS ANSWERS LIFE’S ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS

MATTHEW 10:25-28—ESSENTIAL QUESTION: WILL EVERYTHING BE OK?

Jesus is no mere optimist—he doesn’t try to pump us up with empty promises or sunny predictions about the future. He always tells it like it is, never shying away from hard realities. If he were always trying to “spin” reality for us, we’d quickly descend into fear, because mere optimism has no real power to change our reality. And here he is painting a picture of reality for his disciples: They will face hard things as they go out in his name to bring his message of hope and redemption to people who need it, but they are to move in boldness, not fear. Everything, he says, will be exposed to the light in the end, and if the worst someone can do to us is kill our body, then we have nothing to worry about. If we believe we will live forever with him, then nothing—not even our physical death—can really destroy us.

My Utmost for His Highest

…No release or escape from it will ever come from any human power, but only through the power of redemption. You must yield yourself in utter humiliation to the only One who can break the dominating power in your life, namely, the Lord Jesus Christ. “…

Today’s prayer
Dear Lord God, Abba Father, thank You for this day, these Words, this time. While there is so much I don’t know or understand. I do this… Your grace is sufficient for me, for Your power is perfected in my weakness. For when I am weak, then I am strong. And… as I live in You, my love grows more perfect. In this I have hope that someone will see Your grace and love in me, and choose to get to know You. Amen

Galatians 2:16 NLT
[16] Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law.

Today’s prayer
Dear Lord God, Abba Father, as I fight to stay focused on You through each day. I realize that as the daily grind consumes me, and I drift between the conscious fight and my subconscious tendencies. You are there. So I fight all the more. Wanting my conscious focus and my subconscious tendency to become one. It’s like as the daily grind tries to consume me, You consume the daily grind. Rescuing me from myself by directing my steps, thoughts, actions and what I say or don’t say. Thank You Lord for holding my hand. Amen

Today’s prayer
Dear Lord God, Abba Father, as I seek to understand Your loving discipline, I want to “consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that [I] may not grow weary or fainthearted” (Hebrews 12:3).Your Son experienced both the highs and lows of the entire human experience without complaint, for Your glory. How can I claim to be Your child and expect anything less from Your wise and loving hand? Teach me to trust Your sovereign will, and lean into whatever You allow in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Jesus’ Trial before Pilate

John 18:36-37 NLT
[36] Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not an earthly kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world."
[37] Pilate said, "So you are a king?" Jesus responded, "You say I am a king. Actually, I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true."

Jesus Calling

WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT. As you take steps of faith, depending on Me, I will show you how much I can do for you. If you live your life too safely, you will never know the thrill of seeing Me work through you. When I gave you My Spirit, I empowered you to live beyond your natural ability and strength. That’s why it is so wrong to measure your energy level against the challenges ahead of you. The issue is not your strength but Mine, which is limitless. By walking close to Me, you can accomplish My purposes in My strength.

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
—Galatians 5:25

But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. O my Strength, I sing praise to you; you, O God, are my fortress, my loving God.
—Psalm 59:16–17

Today’s prayer
Dear Lord God, Abba Father, I walk step by step, moment by moment with eyes of faith with Spirit. Fighting to stay focused on You in the now of the moment, dying to myself and letting tomorrow worry about itself. Grateful for all Your blessings and counting them one by one. You are my fortress, my refuge, my strength. Your Words are the words of life that sustain me. The truth that guides me. O that You would continue to bless me and mine, enlarge our territory for Your will, lay Your hand upon us, keeping us from evil and causing pain. Amen
