Jesus Will Reign

“He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David” Luke 1:32

No other name can rightly reign our whole world, but that of Jesus and that day is coming soon. The name of our Lord divides with conviction of sin in light of His majestic character and causes men to either humble themselves or hunchback in fierce anger. Men have tried and will yet try to rule the world, but Jesus is coming soon and He will reign.

The Kingdom of God is with us today through the Holy Spirit in the heart of the righteous, but the day is also approaching when King Jesus will reign on all the earth. On that day, sin will be no more and the earth will be made new.

Let’s pray today that we would not falter in our faith but fix our hope beyond men to Jesus.

Our Gospel Light

“He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” Mark 16:15

The Lord commands His followers to take the gospel wherever we go because the gospel is who we are. We are called to be light in every corner of society. There is no such thing as a secular activity if the light of the gospel shines upon it. Our own testimony of the gospel is who we always are because we are always on mission. The entire creation is to witness the light of the gospel through us.

The transforming power of the gospel of Christ cannot be hidden when the Spirit of God is our companion. A follower of the Lord Jesus is a witnessing light in darkness and in daily activities through their demeanor and interaction with others.

Let’s pray today to always remember that the message of Christ is our very life.

Pray in Belief

“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Mark 11:24

Prayer is not about us and what we need, it’s about God and His abundant grace for us. When we pray, let our focus be on God Himself, His righteousness, and His character. Prayer is not a mirror that looks back at us but a telescope that looks far into the very throne room of God. That’s why we can pray with belief. We believe in God, not ourselves, we believe in His promises, not our own wishes.

Our belief in God’s ability to answer should drive us to invest ourselves in prayer throughout our day. Like communing with a friend, we can communion with the Lord by expressing thanksgiving, praise, and our need for His help.

Let’s pray today to commit our focus and practice of daily prayer believing in God.

Eternal Treasure

“Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Mark 10:21

Whatever treasure we cling to today has no comparison to the treasure we will possess in heaven. Things that we cherish now are only temporary, subject to deterioration, and kindling for when the earth is made new by fire at the end of the age. However, your treasure in heaven is what matters most, like everlasting life, and that includes peace, joy, and God Himself.

When we follow the Lord in becoming more like Him our attitude toward possessions will change. With our eyes on Jesus we can learn to hold things of this earth loosely, to not let material things own us, and we will set up treasure in Heaven.

Let’s pray today that we would stay focused on our future treasures in Heaven.

Child-Like Faith

“Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” Mark 10:15

Jesus asks of us a child-like faith, just as a toddler trusts in a parent’s love for a secure future. Children know they have limitations and recognize an adult’s physical and mental superiority. Likewise we are but children of the Creator God and unable to obtain eternal life without Jesus. With a child-like faith we acknowledge our inability to help ourselves and we willingly seek His help.

The life of a child is generally more simplistic than that of an adult with responsibilities and stressors continually beckoning for attention. When we give those cares over to the Lord we can experience a child-like faith that saves.

Let’s pray today that we would trust in Jesus with a simple faith relying completely on Him.

Impossibilities

“If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.” Mark 9:23

Belief in the promises of God’s word, not in your own worth, is what makes the impossible possible. Jesus Christ bids us to have faith in Him and in so doing our belief is a trust, sometimes unseen but always backed by the very power of the Creator God. We believe because we have faith in the words of our God and it is God’s Word that gives us reason to have faith.

Without belief in the Lord Jesus Christ we are left to live by fear, rather than faith in Him to do what His word has promised. Belief is fully resting in the Lord, much like the same way we fully rest in a chair to support our full body weight.

Let’s pray today that we may not doubt but have faith in God’s word as we face impossibilities.

Dying Without Fear

“For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.” Mark 8:35

When the selfless Spirit of God dwells in us we do not fear loss of our earthly life because eternity awaits. We may grieve the thought of leaving loved ones, but God will remain with them. We may think to resist threats to our life on behalf of the Kingdom of God, but by His strength we will gladly lay down our life rather than dishonoring the God we serve.

Life is precious and none of us should want death, but we ought not to fear it either. The enemy of Christ delights in death but we know that it is not the end. Our Lord gained victory over death and because of Him we have that same victory.

Let’s pray today that we may be in such close worship of Christ that we do not fear dying.
