Some of the best…
Some of the ones I am thinking about as of late…
Some makes me stop and think a little more than they used to…
Today, I share some substance with you in this e-devotion. Just some verses that have been running through mind, and it seems that God will use these in your life. Or I pray He will.
Read on. And there is more to come.
Genesis 29:35 NLT
Once again Leah became pregnant and gave birth to another son. She named him Judah, for she said, “Now I will praise the Lord!” And then she stopped having children.
Read the verses before that one. Check out the story, and you will see how things changed for Leah and why she praised the Lord. It was important.
Lamentations 3:22-24 NLT
The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. 23 Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. 24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!”
That reminder goes deeper than lots of others. I need His mercy. How about you? I am overwhelmed, and pretty often, by His faithfulness that leads me to have even more hope.
Psalm 139:23-24 NLT
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
That is a powerful prayer. It is a prayer each of us needs to pray, but we have to be ready to hear from God because it most likely will be difficult to hear. Yet when we hear, things will get better for us. We should please God.
And one more verse. This one is from the New Testament and is powerful!
Colossians 3:1-2 NLT
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.
What Jesus has done for us is amazing and again very deep. More on that later.
Set you mind. Choose what you are going to think about, and watch God work. All of these verses help us go deeper with God as we think about His character.
He is worthy of our praise…
His mercies are fresh every morning…
His searching me is a big and good deal…
His focus on us, and our focus should be on Him…
