Just For Today Day 11 Putting Off by SGLY Ministry

Just for Today I will put off all…LAZINESS
So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12 (NKJV)

Today’s Thought:
Just for Today let’s think about the brevity of life.

” For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.? James 4:14 (NKJV)

When we think upon how quickly the days pass and how short our lives might be, we see that laziness should not have a place in our life.
Each day we have breath we should put off all laziness and ask the Lord to give us wisdom and strength to do the work He has prepared for us to do for Him while we are here. We should be bearing fruit for Him daily.

Let’s pray then that we can learn how to put off laziness so that we “…may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;” Colossians 1:10 (NKJV)

Today’s Prayer:
Dear God, Just for Today, with Your help, I will do my best to use the time You have given me wisely. I will try very hard not to be lazy and waste time.
Teach me what it means “to number my days so that I may gain wisdom” so then I will not be idle, but use my time and energy wisely for You.

Lord, I know You are always at work somewhere, and I want to be working right with You.
So fill me with Your strength, wisdom, and power as I read Your word and put it into practice today. Show me how to walk on Your paths.
Teach me how to live according to Your ways so that I may not waste any of my days being lazy or chasing after anything that is not of You.
Thank You God. Amen.

Enjoy Whatever You Are Doing

And there you shall eat before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice in all to which you put your hand, you and your households, in which the Lord your God has blessed you. —Deuteronomy 12:7

I used to hate waiting in the airport, but Dave always wanted to arrive early. I finally changed my mind. It is amazing what happens when you decide to enjoy God every day. It is easy to get so caught up in all your responsibilities that you forget to enjoy what you are doing.

You can get so busy raising your children that you forget to enjoy them. You can get so caught up in cleaning your house, trying to pay for it, and remodeling it, that you forget to enjoy it. But you can learn to enjoy God so much that no matter what you do today, you can truly say, “I enjoyed it.”

From the book Starting Your Day Right by Joyce Meyer.

LIVING THE SOLUTION WITH DAILY INSPIRATION
Listen to this carefully. There's nothing done or said that can't be forgiven. Mark 3:28 — The Message)

Did you get that? There is nothing said or done that cannot be forgiven. So why do so many of us go through life feeling like we’re not forgiven? Maybe we have not confessed our sins. Remember if we confess our sins He, God the Father, is just and faithful to forgive our sins. Maybe we have not forgiven ourselves. Yes, we must also forgive ourselves. I cannot tell you how many people I have encountered who have asked for forgiveness from God yet not asked and granted forgiveness from themselves for themselves. As a result they continue to walk around carrying all this guilt and shame about their sin when there is no need to. What we need to do is move beyond our feelings of guilt and move into embracing the truth of God’s word. First, there is nothing done or said that cannot be forgiven. Nothing means nothing, so there is no point in making a list of questions about this sin or that sin. Nothing is nothing. Second, we are told if we confess our sins God is just and faithful and will forgive our sins. Confess your sin and then let it go. Third, we are to love ourselves. Is it showing love to ourselves if we refuse to forgive ourselves? Fourth, we are told that when we confess our sins that God separates them as far as the east is from the west and drops them into the sea of forgetfulness and remembers them no more. It is as if it never took place.

So confess it, forget it and move on. Any remembrance that may come is an attack from the enemy trying to discourage you and hold you down, keep you from living the life for which God created you to live, and to make you ineffective in the fight for the hearts and minds of those who need God. So dismiss those thoughts and move on.

You are loved and bought with a high price because you are so loved and valued. Embrace the truth of God’s word, there's nothing done or said that can't be forgiven and move on.

Live intentionally, purposely, free and with passion,

Pete Reinbold

Psalm 121:7 'The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul.'

- We can have the best protection in the world, but that does not guarantee safety.
- But when we know that the Lord is protecting us, we can rest secure.
- He is your Protector and your Keeper.
- Don't give in to fear but trust Him to keep and protect you.

PRAYER: Lord, thank You that You are my Protector. I will trust and I will not be afraid, because You are with me and You will keep my soul. Amen.

Kind Regards
Pastor Andrew Roebert

Prayers

Prayer to Dedicate This Day to God

Holy God, as I face another day, I know I am going to face many challenges: to my faith, to my patience, to my love for others. I am going to have constant temptations to lapse into sin. Come to me now, Lord, and stay with me all day. Let your Spirit encompass my mind. Let me know your presence. Steer my hand, direct my words, guide my thoughts in everything I think and say and do. I resolve to live this day as a beacon of your glory, the best I can, with your help. I commit myself to give this day to you. In the name of Christ, be with me and help me. Amen.

*****

May it please you, my good Lord, that there may come a day when I can repay a little of my great debt to you. O Jesus, strengthen my soul, you who are good above all good; and since you have inclined my soul in this way, show me how I may act for you, whatever it may cost, O Lord. Here is my life, my honor and my will; I have given them all to you and they are yours: use me to do whatever you want. Amen.

*****

Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank You for sending the Counselor, the Holy Spirit to teach me all things. Holy Spirit, I trust You to bring all things to my remembrance that Jesus has said. You are the Spirit of truth, guiding me into all truth. You speak only what You hear, and You will tell me what is yet to come. I come to fellowship with You this morning, and receive You as my Companion. Amen

*****

Dear Lord, remind me that discipline is a requirement of discipleship. For how else can I discover the truth of Your declaration to Your disciple Paul: "My strength is made perfect in [your] weakness."* I must prove this in my own life if I am to share it with others. ... Help me, Lord, as I struggle with difficult problems in circumstances that test my faith. Help me to see that I do need You, and remind me to wait for Your leading. In the midst of it all, let me feel Your peace, and then discover that You are indeed adequate for all of my needs.

In Jesus' name I pray.

Amen.

My Lord, may I remember that to protect the character of others is to add virtue to my own. Grant that I may see the good and not be looking for the evil. Cause me to know that peace will not abide in deceit or revenge, but may be found in a happy and charitable spirit. Help me to earn thy peace. Amen.

*****

Dear heavenly Father, I come to You today and I do thank you for all of the wonderful advice You have recorded in the Bible. Help me to heed it and live by it, for I know that when I do, I will experience blessings in this life. Lord, help me not to get caught up in anything that is deceptive or that plays on the fleshly desires in my life. Give me discernment and wisdom in my monetary affairs. Help me to put You first in my finances by giving tithes and offerings. I know then You will protect me from the snares of the devil who comes to rob, steal and kill. Thank you, Lord for Your provision today and help me to be sensitive as to how I can help others and the work of the gospel. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

“A Prayer For Being Lightbearers”

Father, You make our light shine brightest when we’re surrounded by darkness. We don’t seek to blend into the darkness but want to shine Your light so that those walking in darkness can see the way to repentance. Even as we’re able to see God in the face of Christ, may the world see Christ in the face of Christian believers all over this dark planet. In Your name, Jesus, we pray. Amen.

*****

Lord our God, grant us true unity with your Son Jesus Christ, so that his power can be revealed in us and we may find new life in which we can truly serve you. Protect us from all error. Be among us with your Spirit to make us people who are genuine. Let your will be carried out more and more in this age. Let your will again intervene so that a new creation may come, a new heaven and a new earth, as we have been promised. May your name be great among us, may your kingdom come and everything in heaven and on earth be done according to your will. Amen.

Lord Jesus, we love You. We thank You for the gift of life and love, as well as friends and faith. Help us to share these blessings with all whom we encounter and meet today. In Your holy name, we cheerfully pray. Amen.
