Today’s verse

And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
—Colossians 3:17 nkjv

Today’s reading
Colossians 3
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians+3&version=NLT

Colossians 3:1-5 NLT
[1] Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. [2] Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. [3] For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. [4] And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory. [5] So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.

Jesus Calling

I AM WITH YOU AND FOR YOU, your constant Companion and Provider. The question is whether you are with Me and for Me. Though I never leave you, you can essentially “leave” Me by ignoring Me: thinking or acting as if I am not with you. When you feel distance in our relationship, you know where the problem lies. My Love for you is constant; I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. It is you who change like shifting sand, letting circumstances toss you this way and that.

When you feel far from Me, whisper My Name. This simple act, done in childlike faith, opens your heart to My Presence. Speak to Me in love-tones; prepare to receive My Love, which flows eternally from the cross. I am delighted when you open yourself to My loving Presence.

“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”
—Genesis 28:15

What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
—Romans 8:31

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
—Hebrews 13:8

Turn You Eyes Upon Jesus

Today’s prayer
Dear Lord God, Abba Father, Jesus my Lord, Savior and Truth. As one of my favorite verses states today ‘whatever (I) you do in word or deed, (I) do all in (Your name) the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.’ For the fight to focus on You is won in the little things we do each day. Just as busyness can separate us from You, so can the mundane and boredom of the our routines. So I am constantly crying out Your name ‘Jesus’ to bring You into the conscious moment with me. Whether anger, impure thoughts or selfishness, I try to turn to You to rescue me from myself and the ways under the sun. Help Jesus! I love You, I’m sorry, forgive me, thank You. Amen

Why We Lack Understanding
My Utmost for His Highest
https://utmost.org/why-we-lack-understanding/

God cannot reveal anything to us if we don’t have His Spirit. And our own unyielding and headstrong opinions will effectively prevent God from revealing anything to us.

Wisdom from Oswald Chambers

Jesus Christ is always unyielding to my claim to my right to myself. The one essential element in all our Lord’s teaching about discipleship is abandon, no calculation, no trace of self-interest.

Dear Lord God, Abba Father, Jesus my Lord and Savior. Thank You for revealing to me what You have. I am grateful and blessed. Why there is still much to understand. I know and feel the truth of Your Word. More than anything under the Sun, I know the path is through the Son, Jesus Christ. My Truth. I ask You to continue to guide me through the moments my faith fails me. And through me and mine, You would use us to lead others to want the same. I love You, I’m sorry, forgive me, thank You. Amen

1 John 1:8-10 NLT

[9] But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

Today’s prayer
Dear Lord God, Abba Father, Jesus my Lord and Savior. My TRUTH. Like it says in John 1:2 ‘He (You) existed in the beginning with God.’ ‘The truth is in the details’ of life, which the busyness of life forces us to over look. This is why I (we) need quite one in one time with You. You know me (us) better than we know ourselves. Whether in praying or confessing, You already know more than we do about what we pray or confess. So it is for our benefit that we must be reconciled to You through prayer and confession. It is where we find our true selves. Where we learn to understand and forgive. Pull me closer, give me more insight and wisdom. I love You, I’m sorry, forgive me, thank You. Amen

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NLT
[16] That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. [17] For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! [18] So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.

LET ME FILL YOU with My Love, Joy, and Peace. These are Glory-gifts, flowing from My living Presence. Though you are an earthen vessel, I designed you to be filled with heavenly contents. Your weakness is not a deterrent to being filled with My Spirit; on the contrary, it provides an opportunity for My Power to shine forth more brightly.

As you go through this day, trust Me to provide the strength you need moment by moment. Don’t waste energy wondering whether you are adequate for today’s journey. My Spirit within you is more than sufficient to handle whatever this day may bring. That is the basis for your confidence! In quietness (spending time alone with Me) and confident trust (relying on My sufficiency) is your strength.

Jesus Calling

I MEET YOU in the stillness of your soul. It is there that I seek to commune with you. A person who is open to My Presence is exceedingly precious to Me. My eyes search to and fro throughout the earth, looking for one whose heart is seeking Me. I see you trying to find Me; our mutual search results in joyful fulfillment.

Stillness of soul is increasingly rare in this world addicted to noise and speed. I am pleased with your desire to create a quiet space where you and I can meet. Don’t be discouraged by the difficulty of achieving this goal. I monitor all your efforts and am blessed by each of your attempts to seek My Face.

“Be still before the Lord, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.”
—Zechariah 2:13

For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars.

Today’s verse

By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. Peter 1:3 NLT

Today’s reading
1 Peter 1
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Peter+1&version=NLT

1 PETER 1:13-16—SET APART TO LIVE LIKE JESUS

To be “holy” is to be set apart. When Jesus came to earth, he didn’t do all of the same things that his buddies were doing. Sure, he did his chores and learned the family trade, but he lived differently. When the disciples wanted to “shoo” the children away, Jesus said no. When the crowds pushed the lepers away, Jesus pulled them close. When the religious people shunned the tax collectors, Jesus planned dinner at their house. Reflecting the words of Leviticus 11:44-45, the followers of Jesus are called to set themselves apart, not in isolation, but to stand apart from the expectations of culture in order to live and love like Jesus did. And that means we’re the ones who will pull over to help the homeless man on the corner, or sit down for a conversation with a family at the shelter, offering the spare bedroom in our home to someone who’s in need. Being holy means that our deepening relationship with Jesus sets us apart to reach others the way he did.

Jesus Calling
http:/www.jesuscalling.com/app/

IN ME YOU HAVE EVERYTHING. In Me you are complete. Your capacity to experience Me is increasing through My removal of debris and clutter from your heart. As your yearning for Me increases, other desires are gradually lessening. Since I am infinite and abundantly accessible to you, desiring Me above all else is the best way to live.

It is impossible for you to have a need that I cannot meet. After all, I created you and everything that is. The world is still at My beck and call, though it often appears otherwise. Do not be fooled by appearances. Things that are visible arebrief and fleeting, while things that are invisible are everlasting.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
—Ephesians 3:20–21

Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.
—2 Corinthians 4:18 amp

Fighting to Focus on Jesus…

I seek His guidance likening my heart to His because I believe this quote… “Our behavior displays what’s in our hearts.”

So when I open my eyes each morning I pray this version of the Lords Prayer…

Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name.
10 Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done.
On earth,
as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread
12 and forgive us our trespasses,
as we have forgiven those who trespassed against us.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever.

Matthew 6:9-13
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=+Matthew+6%3A9-13&version=NLT

and my modified version of the prayer of Jabez…

O Lord
that You would bless me and mine indeed,
that You enlarge our territory for fulfillment of Your will,
that Your hand would be with us,
that You would keep us from the evil,
and that we may not cause any pain.

1 Chronicles 4:9-10
