Heart for the Lord Day 30 by SGLY Ministry

WISE HEART
“So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
Psalm 90:12 (NKJV)

Today’s Thought:
A Wise Heart shows good judgement. It is informed and learned in the ways of God. It is full of His wisdom. It makes good use of it’s time so it can honor God by being available to Him every minute of it’s day.

Prayer of the Heart to the Lord:
Dear Lord, today I ask that You create in me a Wise Heart, so I can use my time for You.
I want a heart that is informed of Your ways and word, a heart that is full of Your wisdom, one that shows forth good judgement when dealing with people and a Wise Heart that uses its time for You.
Then, ”My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.” Psalm 49:3

All God’s Creatures

God bless all creatures large and small.

I pray every day for my friends and family, but today I include an important and diverse group of God’s creatures.

Animals are a special blessing whether as beloved companions or majestic wild creatures. I give thanks for the divine wisdom that created them and for the wonder of their diversity.

I’m grateful for my pets. They greet me each day with unconditional love and bless me with their joy. As extended members of my family, they bring love into my life, and I give thanks for the opportunity to be their steward on earth.

Large or small, domestic or wild, I bless all God’s creatures in my prayers.
God made the wild animals of the earth of every kind, and the cattle of every kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground of every kind. And God saw that it was good.—Genesis 1:25

The Night Light

1 Peter 2:9 - But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light. (NIV)

Matthew 5:14-16 - You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. (NIV)

A few weeks ago, the night light in our bathroom needed a new bulb. When I went to buy one, there were several kinds of night lights to choose from. In the end, I decided on one that required no bulb and used very little electricity. When I put it into the outlet, I didn't see much light, and even when I closed the door, it was quite dim. However, that night when all was dark around us, the night light shone brightly enough to light up the whole room.

One night when I was up, I looked at this little night light and how it lit up our bathroom, and I wondered about us as Christians. How well does our light shine in this dark world? Does our love for Jesus shine through our words and deeds and bring glory to our Father in heaven? It may not seem, at times, as if our light can be seen, but we never really know how much we may affect those around us.

John 8:12 - When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (NIV)

Jesus is the light shining in us. He is always with us to help us find our way, even in the darkest night. If we let Him live in us and shine through us, we can bring light to a dark world and fill this world with the Father's glory.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your Son, Jesus Christ, the light of the world. May He shine in us and through us so that others may see Your glory. Set our hearts on fire, we pray, and fill us with Your Holy Spirit, so that all that we say and do will honor You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Psalm 120:1 ‘I took my troubles to the LORD; I cried out to Him, and He answered my prayer.’

- How wonderful it is to know that we can take our troubles to the Lord.
- Prayer is a wonderful tool we have to deal with the challenges of life.
- Turn your worries and cares into prayer.
- He will hear, He will answer, and He will deliver you.

PRAYER: Lord, thank You that I can call out to You and bring my requests, concerns and troubles to You. You are the One Who makes crooked places straight, and You make rivers flow in the desert. Amen.

Kind Regards

Prayers

Let me go forth in thanks for the victory I have been given through our Lord Jesus Christ. May I be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, and always remembering that in the Lord our labor is not in vain. Amen.

*****

Lord Jesus, you are the resurrection and the life. Your resurrection power is in me, and I am appointed and anointed by you to abound in eternal work for your Kingdom. My victory is assured as I walk uprightly before you. No good thing will you withhold from me! I am accomplishing great exploits for your kingdom, and the best is yet to come, in Jesus’ name! Amen.

*****

Dear Lord, could it be that You want me to make the first move in restoring a broken relationship because You know that for one, like me, to withdraw and leave another harboring resentments will cause each of us to suffer. Not only will I feel withdrawal from those in opposition to my words, but I will also feel estranged from You! ... Remind me that You desire Your Holy Spirit to flow through me to others! ... You want me to be Your Christian representative every day, not just on Sundays! You want me to live Your message by my example! With Your help, I know that I can.

In Jesus' name I pray.

Amen.

My Father, help me to see that in my portion of work thou hast entrusted me to help further thy kingdom. Correct me if I am wrong in interpreting thy way. May I concentrate my mind and make my heart and hands do the work which thou hast given for me to do. Amen.

*****

Lord, may I become more aware of your presence in my life. May I discover that you do walk with me each day of my life, accompanying me in darkness as well as in light, in sadness as well as in joy. May your Spirit lead me to trust and come to know that you keep your word and are always faithful and loving. I place myself and my future into your hands. Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for all you have done for me. You do so much and yet I still ask for more. Please forgive me and guide me to be appreciative for what I have and what is truly important.
