Just For Today Day 13 Putting On by SGLY Ministry

Just for Today I will put on? MEEKNESS
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; Colossians 3:12 (NKJV)

Today's Action:
Just for Today let's put on meekness
?the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.?
1 Peter 3:4 KJV

The world does not promote this type of dressing.
In the world??to be meek is to be weak?, but in God's sight, meekness is precious because it shows we are depending on His strength and power instead of ourselves or the world.

Meekness is patience, gentleness, and quietness.
So, in all the circumstances we encounter today if we are wearing meekness we will be like Christ who said He was ?meek and lowly in heart.? (Matthew 11:29)

Seeing the result of a kind word can change your day as well."

Is God at the center?

Living Free Every Day®

Today's Scripture
Our God says, "Calm down, and learn that I am God! Psalm 46:10 CEV

Thoughts for Today
The words in today's scripture apply to our quiet times with the Lord, but they are not limited to that.

No matter what your circumstances, you will face challenging, stressful times. Times when it is difficult to cope. That's just part of life.

If you have been spending quiet time before the Lord, being still and reflecting on his character and listening to him, then as difficult situations arise throughout the day, it's easier to take a moment, wherever you are, to be calm and remember that he is God. He is in control. Nothing takes him by surprise, and he will help you through this.

Consider this…
When anything or anyone other than God is at the center of your life, problems that arise can cause things to spin out of control. But when he is at the center, day in and day out, he will calm you even when chaos is swirling around you. You will sense his strength, his love and his reassurance ... and that will make all the difference.

Is he at the center? Or just occupying a compartment of your life. Is he your first thought in every situation? Or just an afterthought when you are desperate.

Begin to give him first place in all things ... to make him the center of your life.

Prayer
Father, forgive me for not always making you the center of my life. I will commit to spending more quiet time, reflecting on your goodness. And then when things become stressful through the day, remind me to be calm, and to remember that you are in control. In Jesus' name ...

Isaiah 60:1 ‘Arise, from spiritual depression to a new life, shine, be radiant with the glory and brilliance of the LORD; for your light has come.’

- Keep on getting up, you have reason to rejoice.
- Things may try to drag you down, but God’s favour awaits you.
- You may be shaken but here you are, still standing.
- Rise, and never give up and let His light shine on you.

PRAYER: Lord, sometimes I am troubled, but I will arise and shine, for Your light has come to shine on me. No longer will depression or sadness drag me down because You are with me and I will stand and see Your light shining on my life. Amen.

2 Peter 2:9 ‘The Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials.’

- The Lord is your great Deliverer.
- He knows how to rescue and deliver you.
- In God’s faithfulness He provides a way out of trials for His people.
- He has the final say and the ultimate power to change things.

PRAYER: Lord, thank You that You know how to deliver and rescue me. Nothing is too difficult for You. You are close to me when I am struggling and You are working things out for my good. Amen.

Prayers

“A Prayer Proclaiming God’s Faithfulness”

Father, You are Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. Everything within the universe was formed and is sustained by Your command. We are awestruck at Your design and grateful for the ways it benefits us every moment of every day. You are our Rock; Your ways are perfect, and You are perfectly faithful! We give thanks to You today, faithful God, for Your great work in our lives and in Your wonders formed long ago; for our benefit, our enjoyment and as a reminder of how dependent we are on Your faithfulness and goodness. Amen.

Dear Lord, I need a vacation. You know that I've worked hard. I need a rest -- but not from You. ... Come with me; let me praise You daily; let me set aside some time each day to read Your Word, to pray, to experience a deeper relationship with You. Then I will return truly rested, refreshed, and renewed. ... Oh Lord, I have expected You always to be there for me in times of crisis; let me never take a vacation from You.

In Your holy name I pray.

Amen.

Father of love, I thank thee for thy daily love and for thy daily bread. May I feel that thy gifts are for all, and not mine to keep and store from those who are in need. Help me as I say, "Thy will be done to me," to so will it to others. Amen.
