March 1

Today’s Scripture: John 16:33 (NLT): I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

Today’s Thought: What an amazing comfort. That we have peace in Jesus no matter what the trial or tribulation. He has overcome the world and nothing can take away that peace if we fully rely on God. Jesus life and death and resurrection conquered all that we would and will face. His words that He spoke we can read everyday and find peace in that. It says that He has overcome the world. What relief to know we don’t have to and that we don’t have to rely on ourselves for that peace that Jesus gives it to us.

Today’s Prayer: Lord, I thank you that we have such an amazing comfort through you and that you have overcome the world so that we don’t have to do it on our own. We pray that we will feel your peace in a new way today and that you will meet us where we are. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen!

2 Corinthians 9:6-11
Generosity Encouraged

Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written:

“They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor;
their righteousness endures forever.”

Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

Today’s Scripture: Psalm 139:23-24 (NLT): Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

Today’s Thought: Are you willing to have God search you completely; to test you and know your every thought? What would happen if you did; what would He find? Sometimes it can be scary or even embarrassing if God knew what we thought or the offensive behaviors we try to hide from Him, but He already knows everything. He knows how we think our anxious thoughts and our offensive ways. However, God will not lead us away from there or in an everlasting way towards holiness. Today, allow God to examine your heart and test you and know your thoughts and to find and get rid of any offensive behaviors in your life.

Today’s Prayer: Lord, I pray today that You will examine my heart and thoughts to reveal anything in my life that I need to get rid of. Father, I pray that You will lead me to an everlasting holiness and purity. Test me and make me receptive to Your correction and guidance. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen!
