Heart for the Lord Day 16 by SGLY Ministry

MEEK HEART
“But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.” 1 Peter 3:4 (KJV)

Today’s Thought:
A Meek Heart is a heart that is patient and mild.
It is submissive to God.
It does not seek it’s own will but only God’s will.
Let’s seek a Meek Heart today.

Prayer of the Heart to the Lord:
Dear Lord, today I ask that You create in me a Meek Heart. I want a Meek Heart that is treasured by You, for Your word says a meek and quiet spirit, is very precious in Your sight. So, dear Lord, today I seek the inward beauty of a Meek Heart, one that is submissive to Your will, gentle, patient and mild.
For “the meek shall inherit the earth, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.” Psalm 37:11

Today’s Scripture: “I will listen to what God the Lord says; he promises peace to his people...” (Psalm 85:8, NIV)

He Promises Peace

No matter what is going on in your life right now, the Lord promises that you can have peace. Notice that in this verse, the psalmist is making the decision to listen to what God says. When you make the decision to listen to God and follow His direction, you will have peace. You may be thinking to yourself, “God doesn’t speak to me.” But the Bible says you are His sheep and you can hear His voice, and the voice of a stranger you will not follow.

The Lord speaks in many ways—sometimes through a friend, or a song or in the beauty of nature. Sometimes it’s a simple “knowing” deep down on the inside of you. If you aren’t sure how God speaks to you, ask Him to teach you. All you have to do is open your heart and be willing to hear His voice. As you open your heart to Him, He will speak, and you will live in His peace all the days of your life.

A Prayer for Today: “Heavenly Father, thank You for Your promise of peace. I open my heart to You and ask that You teach me to hear Your voice clearly. I give You all that I am today in Jesus’ name. Amen.”

He is Mighty to Save!

"The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing." Zephaniah: 3:17

Today's reminder for us is "He is Mighty to Save". Whatever is your care and concern for the day, whatever you are worrying about, whatever was going through your mind all night long keeping you wide awake, however bad the situation is, please remember "He is Mighty to Save". Indeed He is.

How powerful these words are! What an assurance we as believers have! Let me repeat the verse once again: "The LORD your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."

Now let us all say it together: "The LORD my God is with me, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in me, He will quiet me with His love, He will rejoice over me with singing."

Let us say it all through the day - loud and clear: "He is Mighty to Save!" Amen!

Have a blessed day! God be with you!

Face The Day by Seek Ye First the Kingdom

In Paul’s letter to the Church in Corinth, 1 Corinthians, he gives them a variety of guidance and instructions. One passage in particular we should all keep in mind as we face the day is:

1 Corinthians 16:13-14 where he writes, “Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything with love.”

Great guidance for us all.

Dear Lord, be with us as we face each day so that we can follow Paul’s guidance having confidence in you and love for others. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Cast your burden on the LORD, and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken. – Psalm 55:22 (HCSB)

Sometimes in the really difficult situations in life, it’s hard to want to keep going. It can be tempting to want to give up, quit or check out. How do you keep going when life gets hard?

This verse gives us some ideas of what we can do when we get discouraged. It tells us to cast our burden on the Lord. When we carry our burdens, we get tired and weary, but if we instead go to God with our burdens, we find strength.

When we take our burdens to God, we find strength – @studentdevos

Today, regardless of what you’re going through, know that you can make it. God will sustain you and help you through it. Go to God with your worries, fears, and troubles and see God come through for you

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
I thank thee.
Amen.

Oh Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your apostles, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you”; I pray that I and your whole church, the body of all faithful people, will know your peace, and live in harmony and unity, one with another, in accordance with your wishes. This I pray to you, who lives and reigns forever. Amen.

In the name of Jesus, I am blessed. My Lord, I delight in your law, and on your law I meditate day and night. I am like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever I do prospers. Jesus, you have been made unto me wisdom, righteousness and sanctification, and I enjoy living in the Way of Truth. Thank you, Lord, for watching over the way of the righteous. Amen

Many of us, O Father, overlook the fragrance of the rose while we are being pierced by its thorn. Increase my faith in life and in thee, that I may not be dismayed over mysteries, but sincerely wait for deliverance. Amen.

Dear heavenly Father, I am thankful for Your love and friendship. Truly, You are that friend that sticks closer than a brother. You are always there for us. Father, help me to be a good friend to those whom You have joined me with in friendship. I always want to be a loving, kind and faithful friend. I need Your kind of love to do this. Fill me with Your Spirit today so that I will be a blessing to all that I meet. Lord, may I not answer people in a rough manner. Help me to always be kind and patient in my dealings with people everywhere as a witness of Your love. Also, Lord, thank you for all the wonderful friends You have given me. Bless each of them today. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Lord God, we thank you that you have upheld us and brought us to the Savior. Help us to remember this truth through your Holy Spirit, and constantly remind us while still on earth to live in heaven with all your angels. We are helpless without you. Your Spirit alone can overcome our sinful nature so that we never forget to be in heaven with the Savior now and in eternity. Amen.
