In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the prophets. —Matthew 7:12

Thoughts on Today's Verse...
This verse is called "The Golden Rule"! It's golden because it's genuine, lasting, doable, understandable, and valuable. It's golden because it clearly and beautifully summarizes what God's Law teaches about how we should treat others. Imagine how different our world would be if we all practiced this principle — not just in our "church life" but in our daily life? If we practiced this Gold Rule with our family, our coworkers and employer, and with the people we manage, the folks on the freeway, in the neighborhoods where we drive, and toward the waiters and waitresses and others who serve us... Wow! What a wonderfully different world we would have! So, let's each start changing our world and making it a bit more golden today!

God has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. —2 Corinthians 5:19-20

Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus has paid the price. God provided the ransom. The Lord's holy judgment was averted, not because of anything we did to appease Him, but by the sacrifice of Jesus for our sins. If God has gone to such great lengths to reconcile us to Himself and adopt us into His family, how can we refuse? We must not!
Father God, we offer you our hearts, and we pledge to share the message of reconciliation as ambassadors on Christ's behalf! We will share your message of Jesus and invite, urge, and implore those around us to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior to be reconciled to you through your Son!

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped... —Philippians 2:5-6

Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus did not cling to His heavenly glory but surrendered it to save us. He was born in a stable, made His first bed in a manger, and was welcomed to this world by lowly shepherds. His adoptive dad, Joseph, had to flee to Egypt with Mary to protect young Jesus. The Lord made His boyhood home in despised Nazareth, apprenticing in Joseph's carpenter's shop. Paul uses Jesus' surrender of His heavenly glory as an example for us. Paul, God's apostle to the nations, expended his human energy so Jesus would come alive in those who followed Jesus as Lord (Colossians 1:28-29). He reminded all disciples to focus on Jesus, to obey His teaching, and to follow his example. As we do, the Holy Spirit transforms us, with increasing likeness, into our Savior's sacrificial character. Now, we must serve each other as Jesus served. We must think of others' needs before our own comfort, preferences, and rights. Jesus' incarnation, ministry, crucifixion, burial, and resurrection were revolutionary. Now it is our turn to join the revolution and turn our fallen world upside down — a revolution we give our lives to help come to pass!

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" — which means, "God with us." —Matthew 1:22-23

Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God had repeatedly promised His people His presence. During the Wilderness wanderings, He was with them with the cloud during the day, the pillar of fire at night, and in the Holy of Holies above the Ark of the Covenant in the Tabernacle. Men, women, and angels (1 Peter 1:10-12) had long anticipated our receiving God's presence close to them personally. Now, in Jesus, it has happened. God has come to us in His Son. Jesus is Immanuel — Immanu-El, God with us! We live on the visited planet, touched by the very presence of God among us, as one of us, who lived, died, and was raised from the dead for us (see John 1:1-18; Hebrews 1:1-3; and Colossians 1:15-23 for the declaration of these truths). And it was just as the prophets of old had said.

The Lord is my light and my salvation — whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life — of whom shall I be afraid? —Psalm 27:1

Thoughts on Today's Verse...
In the storm — with lightning ripping through the sky, winds howling, and surf crashing — stands the light of a lighthouse that guides the way, strong against the elements and a beacon of direction and hope. Yes, the Lord, Yahweh the God of Israel, the Almighty Creator of all things, is my light and my salvation. My life, the eternal part of me, is entrusted with Him. I choose not to fear. I place my trust in Him because "The Lord is my light and my salvation...!"

So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" —Hebrews 13:6

Thoughts on Today's Verse...
How can we be confident in what happens today?
What is our assurance for tomorrow?
Where do we muster excitement about eternity?

The Lord is our helper! Fear will not be our master because our future, our destiny, our eternity rest in the hands of the eternal Lord. The worst that man can do is to send us home to my Lord, who will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5-6). Nothing the evil one can do can separate us from our Father's love (Romans 8:32-39). We say with confidence, "The Lord is our helper; we will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to us?"

For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit. —Romans 8:3-4

Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus did what we could not do; He lived perfectly before God. He showed that sin isn't a necessity in our lives and that it does not have to hold us captive. He not only obeyed the Law, but He fulfilled it in every way (Matthew 5:17-21). Then, after He was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead, He poured out His Spirit on us so that we could not only share in His forgiveness and cleansing grace, but also have His power to live in ways that please God and have His power over the grave when we die. Jesus is our sin offering and our Savior, He poured out the spirit to transform us to be even more like Him. So, let's seek to live "according to the Spirit" (Romans 8:1-39).

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. —2 Corinthians 10:3-5

Thoughts on Today's Verse...
In our battle against evil, we utilize the spiritual weapons of God, which enable us to discern the truth, protect ourselves, and deliver us into the freedom that victory brings (Ephesians 6:10-19). The devil's frequent tools are deception, distortion, and death. God's grace enables us to see through these deceptions and break their deceptive grip on the minds of men and women, freeing them from fear and temptation. God's power broke the barrier of death and gave us victory in Jesus Christ. And what is our task in this victory march? To obey our Lord and help others to do the same, finding His grace and power sufficient to help us overcome all that we face that could defeat us.

Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. —Psalm 34:14

Thoughts on Today's Verse...
It is not enough to turn from evil. We can clean the putrid things out of our lives and hearts, but if we do not actively pursue what is good, then a worse evil can rush into the void, and our second condition becomes worse than the first (Matthew 12:43-45). So, let's be people who turn from evil, become eager to do what is good, and with a passion choose to "wage peace."

The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. —Psalm 34:7

Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God is present with us through the Holy Spirit and through His protecting angels. We don't always see Him, but we can know He is with us! He has promised never to leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5-6). He knows us inside and out and chooses to be with us in every situation (Psalm 139:1-23). Not only is our heavenly Father present with us, the angel of the Lord, who destroyed many enemies of God's people in ancient times is now fighting to win the spiritual battles raging around you and me. God's angels are servants sent to bless us (Hebrews 1:13-14). Along with the Holy Spirit, they help us overcome the evil one, empowering us through our struggles and past those struggles (Ephesians 3:14-21). Through their help, our Lord will bring us His deliverance! We know that the " angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and He delivers them."

I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. —Psalm 34:1

Thoughts on Today's Verse...
One way to keep our life on track and our hearts surrendered to the will and work of God is to joyously praise ("extol") our glorious Lord continually. Let's put our praise for the Lord on our lips with songs and memorized scriptures. Let's tell His remarkable and glorious deeds to our children, grandchildren, and friends. Let's give Him thanks for all that He has done for us. Just as surely as the Lord is with us always (Psalm 139:1-24), let's praise Him always (Colossians 3:17)

Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." —Luke 9:23

Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Offering ourselves to God isn't a one-time event. We learned that yesterday — we offer ourselves, we offer our bodies to God as a living sacrifices (Romans 12:1). We are committing to die to our selfish wills and follow Jesus daily, obeying Him as we live to honor Him. As the Lord Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane with the Father, we must face our daily challenge to "take up [my] cross daily," putting our selfish wills on the cross, and crying out, "Not my will, but yours be done," Abba Father (Luke 22:42).
