Heavenly Father I offer up praise to You today. I praise You for my salvation, for how You created me, and for the purpose You made me for. I am grateful for how You meet my needs and always listen to me. I praise You for Your word which gives me direction and hope while living in this chaotic and sinful world. Help me to take command of my morning and shake all evil out of it.
Holy Spirit You inspired King Solomon to say, “Blessed be the Lord who has given rest to His people Israel according to all that He promised. Not one word of promises which He gave by the hand of Moses His servant has failed.” Paul was inspired by You to write to the Galatians and say, “And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel in advance to Abraham, saying, ‘In you shall all the nations be blessed.’ So then those who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.” [1 Kings 8:56; Galatians 3:8-9] So I, through faith and Your word have the authority to remind and request those blessings throughout Your word as long as I have full faith in You and follow all Your will for me in my life. I will live as a living temple that is also a living sacrifice to bring Your kingdom down to earth. I will renew my mind daily and focus on learning and doing Your will to fulfill my purpose so that I can hold the truth You inspired to be written of what is to come: “God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.” [Revelations 21:4-5] So, because of this hope I will “Trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my understanding; in all my ways I will acknowledge Him, and He will make my paths straight.” [Proverbs 3:5&6]
I will remember the words that were previously spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. They said, “In the last days there will be scoffers who will walk after their ungodly desires.” These are the men who cause divisions, sensual, devoid of the Spirit. But we, especially me, need to build ourselves up in our most holy faith. So I will pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep in the love of God while I am waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, which leads to eternal life. On some I will have compassion, using discernment. And others I will attempt to save with fear while pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment stained by the flesh. Now to Him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you blameless before the presence of His glory with rejoicing, to the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. Jude 17-24 (MEV)
