Meeting You Where You Are?

Daily Bible Verse & Prayer

Today's Verse - 1 Corinthians 15:58

Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the LORD is not in vain.

—1 Corinthians 15:58

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

The Stock Market can be fickle. Friends can disappoint us. Nothing is truly sure except one thing, or better yet, our very special ONE person — Jesus! If we build our lives on his work, love, grace, power, and plan, we can hang in, persevere, and even triumph because what we do for the LORD and with the help of the LORD matters eternally. It will not be work done in vain. Why? Because the LORD is raised from the dead and at work in our lives!

My Prayer...

Please, Father, bless me with courage and strength. Empower me, O God, to not budge from my hope and confidence in your Son to bring me to your glory, make the work I've done on earth endure, and bless those who come after me. In Jesus' name, I pray confidently. Amen.

Today's Verse - 1 Corinthians 15:57

But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

—1 Corinthians 15:57

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Life is ours! Death no longer holds us captive! God has given us victory through Jesus Christ our Savior and LORD. What else needs to be said?

"Praise God!"

"Hallelujah!"

"Thank you, Jesus!"

My Prayer...

Thank you, Father, for sending Jesus. Thank you, Almighty God, for raising him from the dead. Thank you for the assurance that his life is alive in me as I serve in you. Thank you that my life will not be lived in vain. Thank you for the assurance that I am going home to you in victory, forever! In Jesus' name, I praise you. Amen.

Today's Verse - 1 Corinthians 15:55

Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?

—1 Corinthians 15:55

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Death has the power to end our physical, human lives in this world. Death has the power to separate our loved ones from us in this world. Death has the power to discourage and defeat us. But we know the truth: Jesus lives victoriously over death! Because he lives, we know we will live with him. We believe that his victory over death is our victory over death. So, like Jesus, we mock death and its power ultimately to destroy us. Jesus has destroyed death and brought immortality to life in us through the Gospel. So we join the angels of heaven at Jesus' resurrection and mock death: "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death is your sting?" We've triumphed over death in Jesus' resurrection power!

My Prayer...

Father, I confess that the death of those I love still hurts me. I thank you that my separation from them will be only for a short time. I thank you, however, that death doesn't separate me for long from those I love and who love you. Thank you for giving me this victory, this assurance, in Jesus. Thank you, Jesus, for defeating death. I pray in your precious and triumphant name, Jesus Christ, my Savior and LORD. Amen.
