Meeting You Where You Are?

 

Daily Bible Verse & Prayer

Today's Verse - Acts 3:19-20

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Christ, who he has appointed for you — even Jesus.

Acts 3:19-20

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

When did you last catch yourself straying from a passionate walk with the LORD? Refreshing times come when we change our hearts and lives to turn our hearts toward Jesus and live for God in our daily lives! This is real repentance. When we repent and live for him, Jesus promised to reveal himself to us and make his home in us (John 14:15-21, 23-24). When we turn our hearts and lives around in repentance to live for him, we enjoy forgiveness and immediate refreshment now as we look forward to going home to be with him and enjoy our ultimate refreshment with him forever.

My Prayer...

Abba Father, I am consciously turning my life over to you today. I renounce the sin in my life and yearn to live for you. I ask for your forgiveness for any sin that I have committed. I trust you will refresh my spirit through a deeper awareness of Jesus' lordship and presence in my life today. I pray this, trusting in your promised refreshment and presence. Amen.

Today's Verse - 2 Corinthians 3:18

And we, who with unveiled faces all [contemplate and] reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:18

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

"Transformed ... with ever-increasing glory." In other words, it's an ongoing process. The beauty of this truth is that with the continual help of the Holy Spirit, we're going to arrive at our goal — the Spirit is transforming us to become more and more like Jesus! The message is that we must not give up on our journey. We must keep looking to Jesus and reflecting his character, his compassion, his love, and his holiness, while we trust that the Holy Spirit is doing God's work in us, making us more and more like Jesus each day.

My Prayer...

Father, please forgive me for the times when I've let my faith grow complacent, and I've lost my focus on Jesus. Please bless me as I try to be more intentional in my plans, especially my spiritual maturity. Please make me more like Jesus each day. I offer myself to you that I might become more JESUShaped. In his name, I pray. Amen.

Today's Verse - Philippians 3:17

Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you.

Philippians 3:17

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Some critics of preaching and preachers say, "I would rather see a sermon any day than hear one." I'm not distressed because people want to "see a sermon." The life of those preaching should be consistent with what they preach. Some don't "practice what they preach," and their hypocrisy discredits the message of Christ in the ears of our critics. A leader's primary tool of influence is a life of faithfulness, character, and compassion. Whether the leader serves in politics, business, church, or family, godly influence is necessary! All who seek to influence others toward JESUShaped living MUST practice what we preach. Why? Because most folks need to both hear and see the message before it becomes a part of their daily lifestyle.

My Prayer...

LORD God Almighty, please forgive me, equip me, and make me fit for your service. Please help me, dear Father, as I try to live a life worth imitating as I seek to lead others to Jesus and JESUShaped living. I ask for the Holy Spirit's guidance and strength because I cannot lead with faithfulness, character, and compassion without the Spirit's power and grace transforming my life. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
