Honor God with actions

Dear Father,

As I come before you today, I thank you for this wonderful morning so I can come to you in prayer and devotions. Teach me to love you in actions not by words just like we do with our loved ones. Guide my path as you did for me in the past as Psalm 119:105 "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path," and for what you've done for me I am forever grateful. You are the God that once saved me and gave me a new life.

Change your world - Darlene Zschech

Though I'm many miles away
How could I forget the day
I held You close
And my heart was changed forever

Though I'm many miles away
I'll forever hear You say
I am Your child
Please will You love me
Won't you stay
My little one

I live to change Your world
I live to change Your world
Oh how You've changd my world
Know the kindness of God
Will make a way

There's not a day that passes by
When I don't hear your hungry cry
I won't forget You
Oh how I love You
Just be strong
My little one

I live to change Your world
I live to change Your world
Oh how You've changd my world
Know the kindness of God
Will make a way

He rejoices over you with singing
He will quiet you with His loveI know you'll be dancing
When your heart is heavy
Heaven will make a way
Just hold on

I live to change Your world
I live to change Your world
Oh how You've changd my world
Know the kindness of God
Will make a way
And when the night is long
And hunger is your song
Breathe again and know
To hope is never wrong

Change your world

Oceans of mercy calling
Heaven will rain again

"These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. v. 7 they worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.

Be a Bounce-Back Person

Today's Scripture

"So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold…" (I Peter 1:6-7, NLT).

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

We all face disappointments and setbacks. Life is full of things that try to push us down. Maybe you got bad news concerning your health. A relationship didn't work out. Maybe you lost your job. It was a setback. When we face setbacks, it's easy to get discouraged or lose our enthusiasm. Too often we are tempted to just settle where we are. But if we're going to see God's best, we have to have a bounce-back mentality. That means when you get knocked down, you don't stay down. You get back up again. It means when disappointments come, you shake them off knowing that what the enemy meant for your harm God is going to turn around and use for your good.

When you're a bounce-back person, you know that adversity is not permanent. Weeping may endure for a night, but you know joy is coming in the morning. There is wonderful joy ahead on the other side of this trial. Keep standing, keep believing, and choose to be a bounce-back person because you are coming out better off than you were before! You are rising higher, and you will fulfill the destiny God has in store for you!A Prayer for TodayFather in heaven, I choose to set my focus on You. I know that You are turning things around in my favor. I choose to stand and believe Your promises.

Thank You for Your faithfulness in my life.

In Jesus' Name.
Amen.
