Just For Today Day 22 Putting Off by SGLY Ministry

Just for Today I will put off all…WEARINESS
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Galatians 6:9 (NKJV)

Today’s Thought:
Weariness is defined as being exhausted, fatigued; tired, impatient or dissatisfied.
We all feel that way sometimes, but God’s word tells us we must put off weariness and as we do He will strengthen us to continue doing the good works He has planned for us to do for Him.

Paul said: “But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.”
2 Thessalonians 3:13 (NKJV)
“Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.” Galatians 6:10 (NKJV)

Just for Today, let’s pray for strength to put off all weariness in our lives so we can seize every opportunity we are given to do good for the Lord.

Today’s Prayer:
Dear Lord, Just for Today, with Your help, I will put off all weariness.
Just for Today I will not tire in doing the good works You have prepared for me to do for You.
Just for Today I will not lose heart for I know in Your time I will reap what I sow if I faint not.
Thank You, Lord, for the opportunities I have each day to do good for You. Please give me the strength I need to do the work You have for me to do. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Look To What Is Unseen

Clothe yourselves therefore, as God’s own chosen ones (His own picked representatives), [who are] purified and holy and well-beloved [by God Himself, by putting on behavior marked by] tenderhearted pity and mercy, kind feeling, a lowly opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, [and] patience [which is tireless and long-suffering, and has the power to endure whatever comes, with good temper]. —Colossians 3:12

When you pray for other people, it may seem that they get worse before they get better. The devil wants to discourage you from believing that God is answering your prayers. The apostle Paul said that he learned not to be discouraged even when going through terrible trials. He said to look to the things that are unseen, not to the things that are seen (See 2 Corinthians 4:18).

Keep believing, and the power of the Holy Spirit will fill you with joy and peace until you are overflowing with hope (See Romans 15:13). Always trust God to answer your prayers.

From the book Starting Your Day Right: Devotions for Each Morning of the Year by Joyce Meyer.

Matthew 10:30 'And the very hairs on your head are all numbered.'

- You are valuable and precious to the Lord.
- He is intimately aware of every detail that concerns you.
- If He counts the hairs on your head, surely He will not overlook your concerns.
- The all-wise, all-knowing God loves and cares for you.

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for Your great and awesome love for me. I rejoice in the knowledge that because You love me You will take care of me. I will therefore rest in You and I will not be fearful. Amen.

Kind Regards
Pastor Andrew & Vanessa Roebert

Today’s Scripture: Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up." (Proverbs 12:25, NLT)

Let the Encouragement Flow

When you see someone who is struggling, a coworker who is discouraged, a friend who is not up to par, how do you respond? Our words can be what keeps a person going; our compliments can put a spring back into their step. Now more than ever, we need to automatically let the encouragement flow. We need to tell others how much we love them, how we value them, and tell them that they are talented and creative. Always remember, with your words you carry life-giving water. You carry hope, healing, encouragement and new beginnings, and you can pour it out everywhere you go. Today, choose to speak encouragement. Choose to speak victory and faith into others' lives. Instead of telling people what they’re doing wrong, instead of pointing out all their faults, find what they are doing right. Focus on the good. There are already enough critical, judgmental people in the world. Let’s be people who lift up others and restore them. Let’s be the light of Jesus in the world.

A Prayer for Today: "Father God, thank You for speaking through me. Thank You for using me to be a blessing to others. Thank You for encouraging my heart as I find ways to encourage the people around me. I love You and bless Your holy Name. In Jesus’ Name. Amen."

Lifting the Clouds

Thought for the Day

"Things happen to us that may cause pain and sadness to live within our hearts; however, don't' let bitterness linger and make your heart hard. Learn to accept that certain things from the past can't be changed and trust that God will, in time, heal you and make you whole again if you let Him."

Today's Word

"I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security." (Jeremiah 33:6 NIV)

Today's Prayer

Heavenly Father, I turn myself over to You for healing. My heart carries past hurts and sadness that I can deal with but please don't allow my heart to harbor bitterness that will hurt my ability to be happy and not allow me to remain close to You. Amen.

The Whisper Of God

**********

Psalm 36:5 ‘Your unfailing love, O LORD, is as vast as the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.’

- There are two things you can be sure of: His unfailing love and His faithfulness.
- His love for you is constant, never-ending and everlasting.
- His faithfulness towards you is sure, inexhaustible and far-reaching.
- Stand on this solid foundation: His enduring love, and His endless faithfulness.

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for Your great love towards me. Thank You also for Your continued and ever-present faithfulness. No matter what I am facing, I will hold onto these eternal truths. Amen.

Kind Regards
Pastor Andrew Roebert

God's Power Lifts Us Up by Pastor Tim Satryan

Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks? The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. ?
While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it. ?

The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.

When the storms of life come upon us – and all of us will experience them – we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward God.

The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow God’s power to lift us above them. God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the storm.

Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down; it is how we handle them. The Bible says, “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles.” (Isaiah 40:31)

**********

…But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart. — 1 Corinthians 2:16 (AMPC)

Choose Your Thoughts by Joyce Meyer

One of my favorite things to say is, “Where the mind goes, the man follows,” because the way you think determines the way you live.

If you think you’re going to be defeated, then you’re going to have an attitude that leads to defeat. But if you choose to think about God’s promises, you’re going to have a faith-filled, expectant attitude.

Yesterday, you may have let your mind focus on the negative— what you can’t do, how badly you’ve messed up, all the things that could go wrong—but today you can submit your mind to the Word of God. You can actually choose the thoughts you are going to dwell on.

With the help of the Holy Spirit, you can change your thoughts today. You can choose a better, more positive, more fulfilling life.

Prayer Starter: Thank You, Father, for helping me think positive thoughts. I am grateful that I am not a prisoner to negative thinking and that I can choose happy, and joy-filled thoughts, which will lead to a more fulfilling life, amen.

**********

Isaiah 40:28 ‘The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary.’

- We can feel weak and weary, but we serve a God Who is always strong.
- He remembers us in our weakness and weariness.
- His faithful love endures forever.
- Nothing is too difficult for Him and He will see you through.

PRAYER: Lord, thank You that I can rely on Your everlasting strength each and every day. You are the strength of my life. You remain the strength of my heart and You are mine forever. Amen

Kind Regards
Pastor Andrew W Roebert

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. —James 1:22

*****

Hebrews 13:5-6 5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” 6 So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”

Prayers

Humility

In the name of Jesus, I submit myself to You, my God. Thank You giving me more grace.

I use God’s mighty weapons, not those made by men, to knock down the devil’s strongholds of pride and arrogance that would hinder my walk in the Spirit. Pride goes before a fall. With the help of the Holy Spirit, I will remain humble before You. Then You will lift me up and make my life significant. Amen

*****

Dear Lord, help me to walk closely with You daily, taking time to read Your Word, so that I will come to know You, and recognize Your Spirit's leading, so that I will not be deceived or coerced into following "another Jesus."* ... Give me the courage and wisdom to "pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness." Help me to "fight the good fight of faith,"** that I may be Your true witness.

In Jesus' name I pray.

Amen.

Great God, may I begin this day bearing in mind that the things which I think and do are my life. I pray that thou wilt keep me from making great efforts for that which is valueless, and thus waste my life. May I watch my pride and indolence that they may not cause me to lose the best. Amen.

*****

God our Father, we thank you that in the vastness of your creation there is something special about the beauty of this earth. Into our world which you love so much you sent Jesus, your Son - your Word who became a human being - and he made his home among us. Open our eyes that we may have a sense of wonder and awe that leads us to treasure all that you have made. Show us how to value all who are a part of our lives this day. Amen.

Dear heavenly Father, I am grateful for all the guidelines You have given us in this wonderful book of Proverbs. Help me to heed the warnings and apply the wisdom that I find in these pages. Lord, I pray that I will walk as a godly woman so that I will be a blessing to all of those around me. Forgive me when I fail to be gracious or impatient with people. May I apply Your love, wisdom and goodness to all of my daily affairs. Lord, draw the lost in our neighborhood to Your saving grace. Use me to be a witness to them. I am claiming their souls for Your kingdom. I ask these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
