Just For Today Day 19 Putting Off by SGLY Ministry

Just for Today I will put off all…THOUGHTS
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways.” says the Lord. “For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8,9 (NKJV)

Today’s Thought:
Stop and think about your thoughts. What is on your mind?

As believers we are to have the mind of Christ (1 Cor.2:16)

Paul wrote in his letter to the Philippians “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 2:5 (NKJV)

Just for Today lets try to put off our thoughts and think as Jesus would. Commit your works to the LORD, And your thoughts will be established. Prov.16:3 (NKJV)

Today’s Prayer:
Just for Today, Dear Lord,

I will put aside all of my thoughts and seek Your mind.
I will stop thinking and start praying.
I will stop having thoughts of what to do and start reading Your word to know Your way to go.
I will put off my mind and put on the mind of Christ.

Why are you downcast, O my soul?

* Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. Psalm 43:5
* A man's spirit sustains him in sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear? Proverbs 18:14

What these verses tell us is that mighty kings too felt downcast and crushed at times like the rest of us. Knowingly or unknowingly we get pulled into a broken spirit from time to time; which is hard to avoid.

When things don't work out, when the bills are mounting but resources have dried up, when a loved one's health gets affected, it is only natural to get low.

But what we do about it is what makes us different. Let's see how King David handled it:

* He puts his hope in God.
* He keeps praising the Lord.
* He acknowledges the Lord as his Savior.
* He sings praises for His Holy name

Let us learn from his example. Let us put our hope in our Lord. He will fill us all over again with His joy of salvation in no time. Amen!

BIBLE MEDITATION:
“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:8

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
The devil wants you to live your life from an empty cup. He wants you to think that God’s cup of grace has dried up for you. He wants you to be disenchanted with God. Most especially, he wants you to feel that God is a cosmic killjoy — that God is always thinking of ways to rob you of joy and peace. Satan knows that if you start to feel negatively about God, then he can have his way with you in other areas. Take courage. Be strong. Jesus has won the victory for you! Send those lies back to the pit where they came from and claim the promises of God.

ACTION POINT:
Wish someone the peace and joy of the Lord today.

Daniel 6:22 'My God sent His angel and shut the lions' mouths and they have not harmed me.'

- The Lord can deal with anything that man can bring against us.
- Daniel was placed in a lions' den and even there God undertook.
- Perhaps you are facing some 'lions' of your own?
- Remember, He can shut the mouths of the lions.

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for the wonderful way in which You intervene in the lives of Your children. I trust You for a miracle in my situation. Amen.

Kind Regards
Pastor Andrew & Vanessa Roebert

Psalm 147:3 ‘He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds.’

- There is no condition or situation that God cannot restore.
- It may seem dark and impossible to us, but God is far greater.
- Healing broken hearts and binding up wounds, is His specialty.
- Give Him all those areas of your life and ask Him to heal and restore you.

PRAYER: Lord, thank You that You are the great Healer and the great Restorer. There is nothing that is too difficult for You to touch and change. So I ask You to come and touch my life. Heal and restore every part of me, I pray. Amen.

Kind Regards
Pastor Andrew W Roebert

Quick to Forgive

Be gentle and forbearing with one another and, if one has a difference (a grievance or complaint) against another, readily pardoning each other; even as the Lord has [freely] forgiven you, so must you also [forgive]. - 1 Colossians 3:13

The world is filled with pain and hurting people; and my experience has been that hurting people hurt others. The devil works overtime among God’s people to bring offense, strife, and disharmony, but we can be thankful that God gives us a tool to disappoint and defeat the devil: We can be quick to forgive.

Forgiveness closes the door to Satan’s attack so that he cannot gain a foothold that might eventually become a stronghold. It can prevent or end strife in our relationships with others. No wonder Scripture tells us over and over that we are to forgive those who hurt or offend us. Jesus made forgiveness a lifestyle, and He taught us to do the same. This is essential to living a joy-filled life.

Prayer of Thanks Father, I am so thankful for the forgiveness You have given me through Jesus and for the grace to be able to forgive others. Regardless of what others have done to hurt or offend me, today I choose to forgive those who have caused me pain. Thank You for helping me to live out that forgiveness each new day.

From the book The Power of Being Thankful by Joyce Meyer.

The night is far gone and the day is almost here. Let us then drop (fling away) the works and deeds of darkness and put on the [full] armor of light.
— Romans 13:12 (AMPC)

Put on Righteousness First Thing Every Morning by Joyce Meyer

Before your feet touch the floor in the morning, put on the full armor of God with which you can quench all the fiery darts of the enemy (see Ephesians 6:13–17). Put on the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, and the readiness of the gospel of peace.

Don't let the devil steal your peace in the morning. Start talking to God before you even get out of bed. Tell Him, "I love You, Lord, and I need Your help today. Please strengthen me to walk in the fruit of the Spirit. Help me walk in love all day long. Help me to keep my thoughts on You, Lord."

Prayer Starter: Thank you, Father, for loving me. Help me stay focused on you and walk in love today and every day, amen.

Prayers

Oh God, hold me in the palm of your hand. I pray that you will mold me into what you want me to be. May I joyfully fill the role you have given to me and feel your peace deep in my soul, today and always, Amen.

*****

Dear Lord, help me to learn that You have a purpose for me right where I am -- whether happy or depressed, secure or frightened, well or ill, going forward or marking time -- there is something that I can do for You, Lord. ... You can use me every day of my life! Show me how, Lord. ... Help me to take time to listen, and to chip away at my self-centeredness, that I may "know" within me Your Holy Spirit's leading. ... Help me to want to make Your will my will, in both big and little things -- such as to encourage another, to show love and kindness, or to lend a helping hand. ... No matter my present circumstances, it is up to me to enlarge the vistas of my life, isn't it? Open my eyes to see the opportunities that You provide for me to reflect You each day.

This I ask in Jesus' name.

Amen.

In times of difficulty, Lord, may we support others with the same care and concern as we would like to experience ourselves. Amen.

Dear heavenly Father, I am thankful that You have always supplied all of my needs. Help me to always trust You and not to worry about having a supply of food and clothes and the other things that I need in this world, but to just seek You and Your will daily in my life. Lord, I want to be more concerned about having a pure heart in Your sight than any material thing. Lord, I humble myself in Your sight and ask You to remove all pride and critical attitudes from my heart. Give me a heart of mercy and love for others and most of all, I want to always love You and follow You in all things. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
