Psalm 95:6-7

OBSERVATION:
Oftentimes despite daily wonder that is our life, we fail to see the miracles that happen day to day. We attribute it to chance but not to God. The psalm from which this verse is taken speaks of the God's wonderful work that is us and the eartg we live in. The verse speaks of the need to worship God and his greatness.

APPLICATION:
Thank God daily for the life, day and deeds we gives us daily.

PRAYER:
Lord, thank you for the gift of life that ypu have given me through Your Son. Thank you for the earth in which your might is displayed from the atoms to the stars. Thank you for the Great Love you have shown me despite my frailties. AMEN

Ephesian 2:19

OBSERVATION:

The verse is in the context of factions arising in the Church due to certain practices. It points out that God's people is identified with Christ and Him alone.

APPLICATION:

To be aware of prejudices that arise when considering certain practices in other churches and prevent comparison other than to edify the body of Christ and proclaim His name throughout.

PRAYER:

Lord, may I be mindful of my words and thoughts in considering other congregations. I pray that everyone do their work all for the glory of Your name. Amen. 

Galatians 3:28

OBSERVATION:
The verse speaks of being one in Christ. As long as Christ is at the center of our being, we become united as a follower regardless of race, gender or nationality. Christ becomes the standard of our personality, action, thought and deed. God's people are identified as followers of Christ.

APPLICATION:
To ask in each action and reaction, "What would Jesus do?"

PRAYER:
Dear God, it is my prayer that Your people be united in Christ. Any differences are but nothing in the light of Your grace. Amen.

John 6:29

OBSERVATION:
The verse speaks of the work of God in the context of a question from Jesus' audience. He speaks that the God wants us to believe in His Son so that we may not be dependent on the works of our hands or to that we can enjoy bodily. Our faith in God is centered on His Son and through Him we gain the seal of God on us.

APPLICATION:
The work we do here in earth is epehemeral and have no eternal meaning. Our work is incomparable to God's work which is centered on Jesus Christ. Put Jesus Christ first and foremost in everything and through Him do we do God's work.

PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, grant us to be the instruments of your work here on earth as we continue to look to your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Psalms 116:1-2

OBSERVATION:
The Lord is always a prayer away. As we call on him, He answers in His time and His ways. I must be grateful for His reponses to the cries of my heart. I must offer that same heart to Him.

APPLICATION:
Pray, pray, pray.
Pray for the nation, our leaders, my family, Dgroup.

PRAYER:
Lord, allow me to continue to delight in your will for I know that you will grant me the desires of my heart. Continue to listen to my prayers, O Lord, for I am desperate and in need. I know Your answers are always sufficient and just. Grant me, O Lord, the peace found in You. Amen.
