Framework

Only fools would trust what they alone think, but if you live by wisdom, you will do all right. Proverbs 28:26

There is wisdom from the Word, also from wise counsel and good fellowship. As we live together in community, there is much learnt. If you can align your life to the promises of God and not just your thinking, like a plane that takes off the land, your life is set up in a positive framework for your day.

Jesus, thanks for your Word and community. Help me glean from you today.

Praise and worship

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him! Bless his name! Psalm 100:4

There is a way to enter the presence of God, praise and worship. Praise Jesus for time in his presence. Each day as you give thanks and bless the Lord what your doing is preparing a way forward in the presence of God. That’s a good plan of closeness to Jesus. As you begin to praise Jesus, such great characteristics of his greatness you can declare. The atmosphere can change as you praise the Lord.

Thanks Jesus, I love to delight in you. Help me remember what a privilege to praise and worship you every day.

Father in heaven

And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Luke 11:2

We have a Father in heaven. What a blessing to know the creator of the universe cares for us all and each one unique and personally. Today as we celebrate Father’s Day and remember all the great father figures in our lives, they are like living epistles, and lead us to our ultimate Father in heaven. Praise Jesus that because of all He has done, we are made righteous and holy and blessed to know our Father in heaven.

Heavenly Father, thanks for Jesus, that our lives can be in friendship of the Father, ever faithful and true.

Hope in Jesus

We put our hope in the Lord. He is our help and our shield. In Him our hearts rejoice for we trust in His holy name. Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone. Psalm 33:20-22

When you intentionally put your hope in Jesus, there is less space for negatives. Counting on the Lord is a good place to be. God our help and shield. He protects us. You can rejoice that in God is your trust. The prayer here is that Jesus’ unfailing love would surround us, amen. God is the only place hope belongs.

Everywhere you go today, know that unfailing love of God is your portion. What is the greatest hope we can have, hope of the Lord.

Jesus, today I put my hope in you alone. I am secure because you are my portion, I find identity in your love and life Jesus.

Remembering Jesus

For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. 1 Corinthians 11:26

When you take part in communion what a blessing. We are remembering Jesus Christ and what He did that we can all be saved. As we have communion, we are proclaiming Jesus death until He comes back. This is a powerful declaration of our belief in Jesus. Great purpose is there in remembering Jesus.

Jesus thanks for your sacrifice for all of us.

Love of Jesus

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38,39.

Jesus has a love that is complete. There is nothing that can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Praise God. How much He loves us. Whatever your day was like, be encouraged that Jesus’ love is the constant in your life. As you praise Jesus, the overflow of that is the presence of God in Christ Jesus. When our lives enter in to the presence of God, worries are eased, our brokenness healed and close together in Jesus’ love are we.

Jesus thanks for your love, the constant in life.

Declare

I love you, Lord; you are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress; and my saviour; my God is my rock, in who I find protection. Psalm 18:1

What is it you declare of the Lord? Jesus is the strength of our life, a place of protection, as a rock. For all your life, a solid rock you can know such peace and salvation in Jesus. In life there’s much that can be a challenge, when you go to Jesus, that’s a place you will grow.

Thanks Jesus you are my rock, deliverer and salvation is in your name.

Positive Thinking

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.

Gratefulness can help you not focus on worries. When our lives celebrate the small, that creates good pathways for more of the same positives. Like practicing for a game you do warm ups and our life can be like that. When you practice thankfulness, what could translate would be a better day. Thinking positive really is something the Lord made, praise Jesus.

If just one minute, what are some good happenings in life today?

Lord Jesus, thanks for each positive I get to remember and muse on all good happenings today.

Prayer and thanks

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phillipians 4:6,7

Paul was talking to a people that had worry. Have you ever had worry? That’s something each of us can have at times. Instead we can put our energy toward prayer and thanks.

Prayer and thanks, the greatest way to make opportunity for God happenings in everyday life. Doesn’t just go from feelings. You can praise and pray when you feel fine and when you more than usual need God.

Thanks Jesus for you, that you take our worry and bring peace instead.

Hope in the Lord

I am counting on the Lord; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word. Psalm 130:5

If our lives can lean towards, hope and trust in Jesus, that is a secure place. Believing is the hope that Scripture is a solid backing, that God can enable and is your source, portion and help. I love the way the psalter declared their hope was in God’s word. The word is the secure place you can put your hope.

Jesus, thanks for encouragement of your word, I lean towards you today.

Belief

And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go; let it be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed at that very moment. Matthew 8:13

Step forward knowing God has gone already. The more prepared we can be, the more the Lord will be able to bless. What Jesus was able to do when people had believed was of praise to God. We might feel humbled to be a part and that’s what that centurion was like.

Jesus, I believe you do miracles just like back at bible times.

Kept in Jesus

When you pass through the waters,
    I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
    they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
    you will not be burned;
    the flames will not set you ablaze.

Isaiah 43:2

Because of the Lord when you go through waters then you will not drown. You could go through fire and you will not get burnt. Praise Jesus that we are kept in him.

Dear Jesus, thanks for your love and keeping power that saves.

Prepared

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10

Have you ever seen a program where the chef tells you there’s something they had prepared earlier. God has already prepared good works for us to walk in our everyday life. God has already prepared for us. Praise Jesus.

Thanks Jesus for the good works you have prepared, help me walk in them each day, amen.

Steadfast love

He does not retain his anger forever, because He delights in steadfast love. Micah 7:18

Gratefulness for the Lord’s steadfast love. Love that keeps you on track is unfailing love.

God is the great balancer, He graces us, causing us to live well because of Jesus’ forgiveness. We can grace others as well, in that way of unfailing love.

Jesus, thanks for your unfailing love and faithfulness. Help me to be more like you.

Remain in Jesus

Remain in my love. John 15:9

God’s love for us is constant and it is us that needs to stay close to God’s love. That good news is for everyone. Being needy of Jesus is a blessing. That is the place of new beginnings, forgiveness and fruitfulness in Jesus.

Thanks Jesus for your love. I pray that your love be present as the day begins and as the sun sets on the day, amen.

Much help

Commit yourself to instruction. Listen carefully to words of knowledge. Proverbs 23:12

To have gratefulness for wisdom and good instruction is a key to success. Could there be some positive feedback and encouragement to help in your specific life. There is much in scripture that can give wise solution and help.

Jesus thanks for your Word that has encouragement and wisdom. Help me live in gratefulness.

Life application

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom Proverbs 9:10

Understanding what is important to the Lord and following Jesus as your plan everyday makes a good start for learning wisdom. When you practically have space for life application, that can help.

Lord help me love your Word and have the grace to apply scripture to my life today.

Everyday Discipleship

Whoever wants to save their life will lose it whoever loses their life for my sake will save it. Luke 9:24

To give your life to Jesus is discipleship everyday. A willingness to live for Jesus is everything. To deny yourself and take up your cross will be different from others. What could that be for you today? Each step you take in faith is a good step forward.

Jesus, thanks for your Holy Spirit and the blessings of living for you. Help me follow you wholehearted each day.

Praise continually

I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be continually on my lips. Psalm 34:1

What’s a great statement that makes an impact on your day? Praising Jesus makes a statement! If you have the will to praise Jesus, you have something that’s good and healthy for your day.

Lord today I will praise you and bless you and that would be what I go towards.

Jesus friendship

The Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need. Psalm 23:1

God has the capability of fulfilling your life and causing you to have contentment from the living Word, your friendship to Jesus. What an incredible blessing, that every one of us, has the Lord as our shepherd.

Jesus, thanks for you every day fulfilled and content in you.
