Just For Today Day 20 Putting Off by SGLY Ministry

Just for Today I will put off all…UNBELIEF
See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. Hebrews 3:12 (NIV)

Today’s Thought:
“…if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ.” Hebrews 3:14 (NLT)

Scripture tells us we must put off all unbelief. We must not waver. We must be stand firm on God’s word and hold fast to it at all times.
God tells us to do this for our own good, so that in believing we will live in His riches and abundant blessings.
He knows how hard it can be at times to stand firm in the faith that is why He has given us His precious promises to hold onto for hope and strength.

Belief is our anchor, it is an absolute necessity to our daily life as a Christian. Therefore, everyday we need to put off any unbelief that may rise up in us.

Just for Today let’s be like Abraham, who believed God’s promise to him even though at the time it seemed impossible. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, Romans 4:20 (NKJV)

Lets pray, Just for Today, to put off unbelief so we can believe and receive all that God has promised us in Christ.

Today’s Prayer:
“Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” Mark 9:24 (NKJV)
Dear Lord,

Just for Today, help me in my unbelief.
Just for Today may I not falter when I need to share my faith.
Just for Today may I remember Your truth and truly believe.
Just for Today may I stand on Your promises and not doubt.
Just for Today, let me believe, hold fast, and be a true witness of the faith, all for Your glory Lord. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Today’s Scripture: "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things."
(Colossians 3:2, NIV)

Set Your Mind Higher

Sometimes when people look toward the future, they don't see how they will ever rise higher or fulfill their destiny. That's because they are looking at things in the earthly, natural realm. But if we'll set our minds higher, if we'll set our minds on things above, we will have a different perspective.

We walk by faith and not by sight. In other words, we have to believe it before we're ever going to see it. If we walk only by what we see in the natural realm, we can easily allow circumstances and fear to keep us from moving forward. But when we set our minds higher, we are walking by faith, and we can see things God's way.

Make the decision to set your mind on things above. Focus on the good things God has in store. Be determined to close the door on fear and doubt and choose to listen to that inner prompting of the Holy Spirit. Walk and live by faith and set your mind on higher things!

A Prayer for Today: "Father, thank You for Your Word which lights the path You have for me. I choose to keep my heart and mind focused on You. I choose to meditate on Your Word knowing that it feeds my faith and sets me in a position to receive every blessing You have in store for me in Jesus' name. Amen."

Joel Osteen

The Lord Remains Faithful Forever

Psalm 146:6 'He (the Lord) remains faithful forever!'

- We serve an eternally faithful God.
- There is no beginning and end to His faithfulness.
- He remains faithful in perpetuity.
- The Lord keeps every promise and He remains forever faithful.

PRAYER: Lord, thank You that regardless of the situations and issues that confront me, You remain a faithful God to me. You carry me and underneath are the everlasting arms on which I can depend. Amen.

Kind Regards

Not Growing Weary

Thought for the Day

"At times, we all face very difficult days. It is sometimes hard to not let these days drag you down until you tire and become full of despair. During these times, know that Jesus faced days like this too. He knows how you feel and wants you to take His hand as He walks with you towards the light of a new day."

Today's Prayer

Father, though my body grows tired and my mind becomes weary as I face the daily struggles of my life, I remember how Your Son faced much hardship and many trials during His days on earth. It is in this knowing that I find the courage and strength to move forward every day and work to overcome any obstacles that try to keep me from reaching the fullness You have in store for my future. Amen.

2 Chronicles 6:40 'O my God, may Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to all the prayers made to You in this place.'

- Right now the Lord is with you and He is closer than you could believe.
- He has promised never to leave you nor forsake you.
- We are all trusting the Lord for answers in some or other area.
- Take this moment and pray, and believe that He hears your prayers right now.

PRAYER: Lord, I lift my heart to You in this special moment. You are the God whose eyes are open and whose ears are attentive. I bring my petitions and requests and I place them at Your feet. I look forward with faith for Your answer and reply. Amen.

And my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness, Your praise all day long – Psalm 35:28 (HCSB)

How often do we talk about what is going wrong in our lives? We talk about how things didn’t turn out like we thought, how we have too much stress in our lives, or how we are just disappointed about something. We often let the hurts, disappointments, and stress in our lives become the majority of what we say.

What do you think would happen if we decided instead of talking about all that’s going wrong rather to talk about how good God is? What if we spent some time every day thanking God for all the blessings in our lives and for all the awesome things He has done for us?

A change like that would affect our whole outlook and attitude on life. Instead of walking around without heads down, and being sad, we would have something to be happy about.

We would instantly feel some of the stress of life just leave all because we took some time to speak life-giving words and remind ourselves of all the things we have to thank God for.

Choose to change your outlook on life! Be thankful for all God has done. – @studentdevos

Challenge yourself today to take some time to praise God for all He has done in your life.

We have a God in Whom we can trust by Alive to God

There is a blessing waiting for those who will place their trust in God. Just listen to this promise that God offers to all those who will place their trust in Him.

Jeremiah 17:7-8 But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and has made the Lord his hope and confidence. He is like a tree planted along a riverbank, with its roots reaching deep into the water—a tree not bothered by the heat nor worried by long months of drought. Its leaves stay green, and it goes right on producing all its luscious fruit.

If we are trusting God we will be able to face anything that comes our way. We have a God in Whom we can trust. Our God is a rock. A rock in the storms of life. We must grab hold of this rock and hold onto it as we face what life may bring our way.

2 Samuel 22:47 The Lord lives. Blessed be my Rock. Praise to Him—The Rock of my salvation.

Psalm 28:1 I plead with You to help me, Lord, for You are my Rock of safety.

Psalm 61:2 When my heart is faint and overwhelmed, lead me to the mighty, towering Rock of safety.

Make God your rock of safety today!

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…. — Proverbs 23:7 (AMPC)

The Importance of Right Thinking by Joyce Meyer

The mind is the leader or forerunner of all actions. The steps we take each day are a direct result of the thoughts we allow ourselves to think.

If we have a negative mind, we will have a negative life. On the other hand, if we renew our mind according to God’s Word, we will experience the good and acceptable and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2 AMPC) for our lives.

So many people’s struggles are rooted in wrong thinking patterns. Negative thinking can actually cause them to create the problems they experience in their lives; thankfully, though, we don’t have to live captive to those thoughts. We can choose to line our thoughts up with the Word of God.

The mind is a battlefield. Decide to resist destructive, negative thinking and dwell on godly thoughts for your life instead. The more you change your mind for the better, the more your life will also change for the better.

Prayer Starter: Father, I’m thankful that I don’t have to live as a captive to my thoughts. With Your help, I can change those negative thoughts that are affecting my life. I can win the battle of the mind by spending time in Your Word, meditating on Your promises, and making a conscious effort to think God-honoring thoughts over my life.

Prayers

For the Spirit of Prayer

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, oh Lord. Let your Holy Spirit guide me in my prayer and in thought, and grant me the grace to listen and hear your Word. Soften my heart, that I may be directed by your truth, and not the devices of my body and mind. In the name of Christ I ask this, Amen.

*****

Now all glory to you, mighty God, who is able to keep me from falling away and will bring me with great joy into your glorious presence without a single fault. All glory to you who alone are God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are yours before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time, Amen.

*****

Lord, our God and King, your greatness is seen throughout the earth. When I gaze at the heavens which your fingers have formed, and look at the moon and the stars which you have set there, I realise how small we are in the majesty of your creation. Yet you treasure us above all that you have made, and you give us control over all the works of your hand - animals both wild and tame, birds in the air, and the creatures of the sea. Lord, our God and King, your greatness is seen throughout the earth.

Dear Father in heaven, thank you for giving us Your guidelines for every area of our lives. We know that when we follow Your ways and keep Your commandments we will enjoy blessings in this life. Lord, help us to be honest in all of our dealings with money so that we will be blessed. Forgive us when we have put money into the wrong things. Lord, forgive those who have stolen from us and taken advantage of us. We look to You to restore what was lost. Help us to be wise and not be tricked into using our money in the wrong ways. May we use our money and resources to not only take care of our responsibilities, but to also give, to help others and to help get the gospel out to others. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Care for Absent Loved Ones

1 Thessalonians 3:1-13

Dear Father, our partner in caring,

How hard it is to be far away from those we want to encourage to walk in your ways. We leave them in your hands, Lord, and ask you to send your angels to guard their ways. Keep those that we love from the power of the tempter. Grant us good news from them. We long to hear that they are learning more and more of your will and growing in your grace. Let us know that they are standing firm in truth.

What thanksgiving we send before your throne, what joy we feel for them before you, our God. What a torrent of prayer we pour out before you that whatever is lacking in their faith may be supplied!

Make us the agents who will supply their spiritual needs. Let there be many times for us and our loved ones to be together for times of refreshment in your word and in prayer.

In the name of Jesus I ask. Amen.

*****

Lord our God, you want to be our God and you want us to be your people. Give us the inner integrity and the power to discern and reject what does not come from the heart, so that everything may be genuine among us. Then no lies and deception will creep in, and honesty and goodness will flow from our hearts to the glory of truth, to the glory of the gospel and the great hope you give men through the gospel. Guard our hearts. Protect the good that is planted in them, that it may grow and thrive and bear fruit. Amen.

Prayer of Repentance Thomas Cranmer

Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Maker of all things, Judge of all; we acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we, from time to time most grievously have committed by thought, word and deed against Thy Divine Majesty, provoking most justly they wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; the remembrance of them is grievous upon us; the burden of them is intolerable. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us most merciful Father; for Thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ's sake. Forgive us all that is past; and grant that we may ever serve and please Thee in newness of life, to the honour and glory of Thy name; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
