Righteousness by SGLY Ministry

He shall pray unto God, and he will be favorable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness. Job 33:26 KJV

When we wear the Breastplate of Righteousness we are putting on the Righteousness of Christ, so when God looks upon us He sees His Son who died to cover our sins, past, present and future.

The Breastplate protects us from the accusations of the enemy, for when he starts bringing up our past sins, we can stand firm in the righteousness of Christ and say “I have been forgiven. I am covered with the righteousness of Christ. You have no legal right to accuse me of my past. God has forgiven me because Christ paid for my sins on the cross where he defeated sin and death.”

As we stand firm in the Armor and declare the truth, the enemy must flee. Therefore, wear the Armor to protect yourself and to stand firm against the wiles of the devil and the wicked ones.

Prayer: Thank You God for sending Your Son to set me free from sin and death, so that I can be righteous in Your sight and be able to stand firm against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12 KJV.) I pray that You will remind me daily to wear the Armor. Amen.

Today: Thank God for each piece of Armor that He has provided and look for ways you can serve Him today.

Blessings to you as you walk and stand in the Righteousness of Christ today.

Answer my prayers, O Lord, for your unfailing love is wonderful. Take care of me, for your mercy is so plentiful. (NLT) Psalm 69:16

Does the Lord answer your prayers? Yes. Although, it may not always be "yes". The answer could be "no". Or it could be a simple "not now". Be encouraged to know God's love for you is so deep He will always be there to take care of you. If times get tough and too hard to bear, get down on your knees and share with Him. He will meet you there as you are.

Ephesians 2:14 'For HE Himself is our peace...'

- We live in a world that is troubled and stressed.
- In all of this we have the Lord and He is our Prince of Peace.
- He makes His peace available to us and says: 'My peace I give to you!'
- The Lord is your source of peace, keep your eyes on Him.

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for the peace that You make available to me. You are my source of peace and You are my peace. I choose to lift my eyes above the troubles and seek Your peace. Amen.

You Are Loved - by Joyce Meyer

It is very important to begin each day knowing that you are loved! God loves you unconditionally, and His love is more valuable and important than anyone else’s. He doesn’t love us because we deserve it, but simply because He wants to.

As you receive God’s love freely, it will give you confidence and enable you to live life without fear. God’s perfect love casts out all fear and dread (see 1 John 4:18).

Perhaps you have known the pain of not being chosen. You were not picked for class president or asked to attend the party that everyone was going to. When we are left out, it hurts, but the good news for you today is that God has chosen you! You are special to Him and His love for you will never end.

Prayer: Thank You, Father, for loving me. I receive Your love by faith today and ask that it will strengthen me.

New Version Of Footprints Author Unknown

Imagine you and the Lord Jesus are walking down the road together. For
much of the way, the Lord's footprints go along steadily,
consistently, rarely varying the pace. But your footprints are a
disorganized stream of zigzags, starts, stops, turnarounds, circles,
departures, and returns.

For much of the way, it seems to go like this, but gradually your
footprints come more in line with the Lord's, soon paralleling His
consistently. You and Jesus are walking as true friends! This seems
perfect, but then an interesting thing happens: Your footprints that
once
etched the sand next to Jesus' are now walking precisely in His steps.
Inside His larger footprints are your smaller ones, you and Jesus are
becoming one.

This goes on for many miles, but gradually you notice another change.The
footprints inside the large footprints seem to grow larger.Eventually
they disappear altogether. There is only one set of footprints they have
become one.

This goes on for a long time, but suddenly the second set of footprints

is back. This time it seems even worse! Zigzags all over the place.

Stops. Starts. Gashes in the sand. A variable mess of prints. You are
amazed and shocked. Your dream ends.

Now you pray: "Lord, I understand the first scene with zigzags and
fits. I was a new Christian; I was just learning. But you walked on
through the storm and helped me learn to walk with you." "That is
correct." "..And when the smaller footprints were inside of Yours, I
was actually learning to walk in Your steps; followed you very
closely." "Very good. You have understood everything so far."

"...When the smaller footprints grew and filled in Yours, I suppose
that I was becoming like you in every way." "Precisely." "So, Lord,
was there a regression or something? The footprints separated, and this
time it was worse than at first."

There is a pause as the Lord answers with a smile in his voice. "You
didn't know? That was when we danced. " To Everything there is a season,
a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to weep, a time
to laugh, A time to mourn, and a time to dance. Ecclesiastes 3:1,4.

Prayer for Renewal

Lord, I am one of your people, the sheep of your flock. I pray for you to heal those who are wounded; touch those who are in pain; clean those who are soiled; warm those who are cold; help me to know the Father's love through Jesus the shepherd, and through the Spirit.

Help me to lift up that love, and show it all over this land. Help me to build love on justice and justice on love. Help me to believe mightily, hope joyfully, and love divinely. Renew me that I may help renew the face of the earth. Amen.
