He Alone Does Great Wonders

To Him who alone does great wonders, For His mercy endures forever - Psalm 136:4. 

               There is none like our God great in doing wonders. Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders? - Exodus 15:11. You are the God who does wonders; You have declared Your strength among the peoples - Psalm 77:14.

                Our God had done great wonders in our life that cannot be fathomed.  He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted - Job 9:10. I will show them wonders - Micah 7:15. He is the one you praise; He is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes - Deuteronomy 10:21. 

                 Let us thank God who alone had done great wonders in our life. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, who has dealt wondrously with you. And my people shall never again be put to shame - Joel 2:26. We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near - Psalm 75:1. Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all people - Psalm 96:3.

The Grace of Our Lord Was Exceedingly Abundant

The grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant - 1 Timothy 1:14.

Paul

             God's grace was exceedingly abundant in Paul's life. He is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel - Acts 9:15. The grace of God is sufficient for Paul and His power is made perfect in his weakness as he served God faithfully. My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong - 2 Corinthians 12:9,10. But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ - Philippians 3:7.

Noah

             God's grace was exceedingly abundant in Noah's life.  Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord as he was just, perfect and walked with God. Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord - Genesis 6:8. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God - Genesis 6:9. So He destroyed all living things which were on the face of the ground: both man and cattle, creeping thing and bird of the air. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark remained alive - Genesis 7:23. 

           May God's grace be exceedingly abundant in our life. God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work - 2 Corinthians 9:8. For from His fullness we have all received, grace upon grace - John 1:16. For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people - Titus 2:11. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need - Hebrews 4:16.  

                                                      


PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let Your grace be exceedingly abundant in our life. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Follow Me

If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me - Mark 8:34.

                We will never walk in darkness but have the light of life as we follow God. I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life - John 8:12. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me - John 10:27. Christ suffered for us and left us an example so that we might follow His steps. Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps - 1 Peter 2:21. 
 
                 Simon and Andrew immediately left their nets and followed Jesus. And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” They immediately left their nets and followed Him - Mark 1:16-18. James and John who were in their boat mending the nets, left their father Zebedee and the boat immediately and followed Jesus. Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him - Matthew 4:21,22.

                Let us leave everything behind and follow Jesus. Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men - Matthew 4:19. Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?”. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life - Matthew 19:27, 29.                                                            


PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us leave everything behind and follow You. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Trust In The Lord With All Your Heart And Lean Not On Your Own Understanding

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding - Proverbs 3:5.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart

             God will keep us in perfect peace as we trust Him. You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock - Isaiah 26:3-4. He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him - Proverbs 30:5. The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him - Psalm 28:7. Let us trust God at all times with all our heart. Trust in Him at all times, oh people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us - Psalm 62:8. 

Lean not on your own understanding

            David did not trust in himself but instead he trusted God with all his heart to guide him. Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before my face - Psalm 5:8. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name - Psalm 23:3. He leads the humble in justice, and He teaches the humble His way - Psalm 25:9. He who trusts in his own heart is a fool - Proverbs 28:26. Let us not lean on our own understanding but instead trust the Lord with all our heart. Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD - Jeremiah 17:7. 

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God - Psalm 56:3.

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will act - Psalm 37:5.

In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths - Proverbs 3:6. 



PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us not lean on our own understanding but instead trust You with all our heart. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

In The LORD I Take Refuge

 In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: “Flee like a bird to your mountain”? - Psalm 11:1. 

           God is our refuge. The God of Jacob is our refuge - Psalm 46:7. O Lord, my strength and my fortress, My refuge in the day of affliction - Jeremiah 16:19. You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble - Psalm 59:16. The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Psalm 18:2. The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemies before you - Deuteronomy 33:27. 

                David said, “In the LORD I take refuge”when his friends told him to flee like a bird to mountain. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed - Psalm 57:1. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Psalm 61:3,4. God protects all who take refuge in Him. He shields all who take refuge in him - 2 Samuel 22:31. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes. Psalm 118:8-9. 

             Nothing can be our refuge except our Lord and so let us trust Him, pour out our heart before Him and take refuge in Him. Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us - Psalm 62:8. Blessed is the one who takes refuge in him - Psalm 34:8. Let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy - Psalm 5:11. But I will sing of Your power; Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; For You have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble - Psalm 59:16.                                                                    

PRAYER: Dear Lord,  Let us take refuge in You as You shield all those who take refuge in You. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
