Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls - Mathew 4:14.

To me, to live is Christ and to die is gain - Philippians 1:20.

I can do all this through him who gives me strength - Philippians 4:12,13.

For You alone are holy - Revelation 15:4. There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God - 1 Samuel 2:2.

But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy - 1 Peter 1:15,16. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight - Ephesians 1:4.

To Seek And Save the Lost

 For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost - Luke 19:10.

             Jesus came to seek and save the lost. He went to the house of Zacchaeus to bring him to repentance. Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.” And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham” - Luke 19:8,9.

             Jesus went to Samaria to save the Samaritan woman. Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life - John 4:13,14. I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance - Luke 15:7.

           Let us have the commitment and mission that Jesus had to reach and save the lost. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit - Matthew 28:19. Not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance - 2 Peter 3:9. I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick - Ezekiel 34:16.

                                                

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You came to the world to seek and save the lost. Help us seek and save the lost as Your will is that all should come to repentance. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. 

Our Thought Life

 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he - Proverbs 23:7.

              Our thought life is so important as everything we do depends upon it. Every thought that exalts against God’s knowledge should be brought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ - 2 Corinthians 10:5. 

             Our mind needs to be renewed with thoughts that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely and excellent. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things - Philippians 4:8. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind - Romans 12:2. 

              Let our mind be governed by the spirit of God and not by the flesh. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace - Romans 8:6. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh - Romans 13:14. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things - Colossians 3:2. 

          God will keep us in perfect peace as we have the mind of Christ. You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You - Isaiah 26:3. Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus - Philippians 2:5. Let us be the imitators of Christ as we have the mind of Christ - Ephesians 5:1. 

                                          

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to renew our mind by setting our mind on things above and not on earthly things. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
