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

1 Peter 1

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

OneWalk: Under the Sun, with the Son
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
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1Chronicles+4%3A9-10&version=NLT

Then read daily verses and a chapter from the from Jesus Centered Bible, a daily devotion (current favorites, My Utmost for His Highest, Jesus Calling and Life for Leaders), listening to worship music on K-Love radio app.

Today’s verse

He is not here for He has Risen!
Matthew 28:6

Today’s reading
Matthew 28
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+28&version=NLT

Matthew 28:5-7 NLT
[5] Then the angel spoke to the women. "Don’t be afraid!" he said. "I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. [6] He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. [7] And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember what I have told you."

Who Do You Say That I Am?

iDisciple
https://goo.gl/DUJM83

He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:15-18)

If your faith is wavering in belief, ask the Lord to reveal to you who Jesus is, just as He did with Peter. People and circumstances will change with seasons and times of life; but when all is said and done, we want our faith and convictions to be as solid as rocks so that the gates of Hades shall not prevail against us.

Today’s prayer
Dear Lord God, Abba Father, Jesus my Lord and Savior. My truth! In today’s world we are so concerned with finding an answer to the question ‘who am I?’ But we must first answer the question who do we think Jesus was? For it is only in and through You Lord Jesus that we can find truth. Truth about who we are and what are purpose is under the sun. So my prayer today is that all of us believers and unbelievers will contemplate and meditate on answer the question. You do we say You are. For me and mine “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Help us hold on to the truth, no matter what. Amen

Today’s verse

But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. Romans 5:8 NLT

Today’s thought and readings
The only Biblical reference to what happened to Jesus on Holy Saturday is found in Matthew 27:62-66.

The Importance of Hell
Core Christianity Article 05 Feb 18

There are plenty of people today who don’t believe in the Bible’s teaching on everlasting punishment, even those who do find it an unreal and a remote concept.

In 2003 a research group discovered 64% of Americans expect to go to heaven when they die, but less than 1% think they might go to hell. Not only are there plenty of people today who don’t believe in the Bible’s teaching on everlasting punishment, even those who do find it an unreal and a remote concept. Nevertheless, it is a very important part of the Christian faith, for several reasons.

Today’s prayer
Dear Lord God, Abba Father, Jesus, today I contemplate and meditate on all You did for me (us). With caution I remind myself I could never fully know what You suffered for me (us). Not just the betrayal, loneliness, physical beating and scourging and crucifixiones, but the hell and separation from God the Abba Father, all for me (us). For when I try, I have to stop, realizing I could never comprehend fully what you experienced for me (us). It’s to much, I realize how much easier it is to sin, than to pay and atone for them. And just know how weak I am (we are). All I can do is fight to focus on You, praying without ceasing for forgiveness and reconcile myself to You. For when I do, I feel whole and forgiven, and one with You. I can never thank You enough, so instead I must just die to myself and commit myself to following You. O Jesus, I love You, I’m sorry, forgive me, and thank You. Amen

Dear Lord God, Abba Father, Jesus, only your amazing grace makes this Good Friday. Only your amazing love turns the horror of the cross into the beauty of salvation. Only you, Lord, can take what is evil and transform it into good. All praise be to you! Thank you, Lord Jesus, for dying in my place. Thank you for taking upon yourself the penalty I deserved but could never fully bear. Thank you for all that your cross makes possible.

A Devotion for Holy Week: Living As Agents of Reconciliation
Life for Leaders Daily Devotion

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.
