Jesus' Example

 Scripture John 13:15 For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.  John 13:17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. Jeremiah 9:24 But let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth. for in these I delight,” says the Lord.

Observation Jesus left us an example to follow.

Application Do as Jesus did, love as Jesus loved.

Prayer Dear Jesus, thank You for Your Word and Your Words, Your example, and Your love. Through the power of Your Holy Spirit, living and abiding in me, I would follow Your example, be a doer of Your Word, and love others like You love me.

God's Gracious Gift

 

 Scripture Titus 3:4-7 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared,  not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,  whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,  that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Observation/Application  Through God’s loving kindness and mercy I have salvation. He poured out His Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ my Savior. By His grace I have the gift of eternal life.

Prayer Thank You, Father, for the gracious gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ my Savior.

Safety and Security

 

Scripture Proverbs 29:25-26 The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe. Many seek the ruler’s favor, but justice for man comes from the Lord.

Observation Safety and security come from God but reverence for man is a snare.

Application I would trust the Lord and His justice.

Prayer Father, my faith, and trust are in You. Thank You for being my place of safety and security.
