NEW LIFE – A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 14, 2017
Saturday, January 14th, 2017
VERSE: “For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known” 1 Corinthians 13:12
FORMULA: If the Divine Equation somewhat incomprehensible now, then wait until Glory for the “WOW”!
ACTION: Faith is complete trust with our spiritual hearts, which have been reborn by the Spirit of God. Heaven is so much more, don’t let the shadow of this world cloud the Incredible picture, which lies ahead…just above the Horizon!
PRAYER: Great Father in Heaven, Creator and the Power behind ALL things, we are so grateful that this corrupt world is not ALL that there is, Lord. We are so eternally, and we mean eternally, thankful – humbled – blown away and stunned that You would even give us a representation of what lies ahead for us. And it is not just a glimpse of the Divine Majestic Kingdom of God, but it is a personal confirmed reservation You have booked for us who have believed, obeyed, repented and trusted Jesus Christ as Lord and Master of our lives. Thank You, dear God! We look forward to that Day, Face (Yours) to face (ours) when we see you in living color, as real as the sun rising in the east every day. For this truth, this very truth, we are amazed and pray, in Jesus’ Mighty Name amen.
NEW LIFE – A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 13, 2017

VERSE: “Righteous are You, O LORD, that I would plead my case with You; Indeed I would discuss matters of justice with You: Why has the way of the wicked prospered? Why are all those who deal in treachery at ease?”(Jeremiah 12:1)
FORMULA: If God chooses that some prosper, then let it be of no concern to us.
ACTION: Even in a fallen world, the grace of the Good Lord falls on the Just (Christians) AND the unjust (the majority of the Lost and dying world). From the beginning of time, evil men (and women) have prospered and become even wealthier than the people of Yahweh, who most times scratch and claw for a living. Our role – to accept what God has given us, to strive to do better without sinning against Him and our fellow man and finally to TRUST HIM completely for even the parking spot we lose at the top of the line at the grocery store parking lot.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, we know that YOUR ways are not our ways. We know that You work all things to those who love God and follow You, in full trust and obedience. Lord we cannot explain why bad people seem to be the wealthiest, and loudest and even the most obnoxious, but help us to be like the Apostle Paul, our role model. He knew what was like to be hungry, cold, poor and persecuted and at times, he was well fed and warm. In all things, Paul trusted fully in You, seeing the reward ahead and the true riches of Christ which are not of this world. We know You will deal righteously as Jesus said of the rich man who was in hell while the beggar Lazarus was in paradise. He was not in hell because he was rich, but because he lived his own way all his life, ignoring You. Lord help us to understand this day that the best thing we can do is pay attention to our own souls and those around us, and then let You, our one True God of Heaven and Earth, take care of the rest, in Jesus’ Strong Name, amen.
