Christian Commentary
The Lord Is Good
PSALM 145:8-9 NKJ 8 The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and great in mercy. 9 The Lord is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works.
The greatest deception is making people think God is bad. God is not guilty -- of anything bad!
The devil wants us to believe God is bad: that He is uncaring, that He does bad things to us, and that He is holding out on us -- keeping us from enjoying good. But it isn't true. God loves you more than you can imagine.
The devil is a liar -- he works by deception. The devil tries to make us believe God is like him, and he is like God, which is, of course, not true.
Because of satan's efforts to distort the truth, many people's idea of God is actually what the devil is like.
PSALM 34:8 NKJ 8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
We must, as Scripture admonishes, taste and see that the Lord is good. Unless you have a relationship with God, you won't know how good He is.
1 JOHN 4:8 NKJ 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
God is a God of love. He puts the interests of others first. He is not selfish. He desires the best for everyone.
SAY THIS: God is good to me. Thank You Lord for being good to me. I refuse to believe the devil's lie that You are bad.

Meeting You Where You Are?
Daily Bible Verse & Prayer
Today's Verse - Ephesians 4:29
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The goal in Christian communication is not just clarity. The goal is not just to be understood. The goal is not just to be truthful. The goal is not only to be appropriate and helpful, but also to be JESUShaped disciples; it means we want to deliver our message based on their needs so it benefits, blesses, and builds up those who listen. Not only do we avoid crude, profane, or improper speech, but we are to fill our lives and the ears of those who hear us with the kinds of words that Jesus would share with people. God has called us to this high standard because we are to reflect and demonstrate Christ's character in our lives, bearing the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) as he transforms us to become more like our Savior (2 Corinthians 3:18).
My Prayer...
Tender Shepherd, please bless me with a pure heart so my words will be a helpful blessing to those who hear them. Please give me a kind heart so my words will build up those who hear them. Please help my heart be full of joy and encouragement so that I may benefit those who need my words. In Jesus' name, I pray, asking the Spirit to help my words be shaped by the fruit you want to see come alive in me. Amen.
Today's Verse - Philippians 2:3-4
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Do you remember one of the earliest questions in the Bible? "Where is your brother... Abel?" To which Cain responded: "Am I my brother's keeper?" (Genesis 4:9) Paul's answer to Cain's question is clear and undeniable: It is, YES! As Paul tells the Philippians (and us) in this verse, we must not look only to our "own interests, but also to the interest of others"! We are our brother's keeper! We are our sister's keeper! We look not only to our own interests, but also to the interests of those around us who need God's grace and our love.

My Prayer...
Father, teach me to love your family as you love me. I get so caught up and distracted in my own world and my own problems that I forget to notice those hurting around me. Help me grow more aware and attuned to others' needs, so you may minister to their needs and interests through me. In the powerful name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light...
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Our before and after: we were lost, now found; we were darkness, now light. This should be our journey of grace. "I once was lost, but now I'm found, was blind, but now I see," as the old hymn "Amazing Grace" has us sing. If we could only fully grasp what we so easily sing, then maybe our lives would be filled with more grace and our churches with more confident servants of God. Let's "live as children of light" (1 Thessalonians 5:5), transferred from the dominion of darkness into the kingdom of the Son of God's love (Colossians 1:13-14), in whom we have light and life (John 1:4).
My Prayer...
LORD God Almighty, by your grace we know that we stand before you today, welcomed into your glorious presence and received as your beloved children. You have rescued us from the dominion of darkness and flooded our hearts with your glorious light. Thank you for rescuing us from all the traps of the darkness and bringing us into your light. Please guide our hearts and our feet so they will walk your path and show forth your light to those in darkness. Through Jesus and by his authority, we pray. Amen.
Praise The LORD Jesus Christ... God Gets The Glory!
