Verse of Today
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
-- Ephesians 5:21

Inspiration
‘Fear of God’ is not perhaps your typical fear, in the sense of what one may feel in a horror movie for example, or for a bully. Rather, fear of God within the context of the Bible in different translations may often times come out with synonyms such as ‘awe’, ‘wonder’ or ‘reverence’. Whatever version of the Bible one may be reading, the basic notion remains the same, a deep sense of veneration brought on by a display of God’s power. Time and time again, God and Jesus had to prove themselves in the face of disbelief, mockery and skepticism. This is the ‘fear’ God may instill in us; not that brought on by coercion, terror or violence, but rather in his works, his miracles beyond our own abilities. It is upon witnessing or believing these mighty works that we submit to our Lord.

Prayer
Lord Almighty, all powerful, all knowing and seeing, I kneel before you at the throne within your Heavenly Kingdom. Instill in those who criticize and ridicule the awe, the wonder and the reverence you deserve. Silence all those skeptics and the ignorant who still doubt your name, so they may see you miracles and power Lord, and upon doing so, become one of your children. Amen.

Verse of Today
Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.- Proverbs 10:2

Inspiration
Sometimes we are very possessive or protective of things that tread on the lines of wickedness. We sometimes entertain ourselves with evil. We listen to music, watch movies, read books, and watch TV that glorifies wickedness. Those things will not profit us. We will not gain from them. On the other hand, righteousness will deliver us from death. Think about what in your life is wicked and what is righteous. Focus on the things that you will profit from.

Prayer
LORD, You love the righteous and You despise wickedness. Thank You for being a righteous God, and not a God who loves war, murder, and death. You are truly good, and only You can truly satisfy our hearts. Make me righteous like You are righteous. Help me to love righteousness and hate wickedness like You do. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Verse of Today
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.- Philippians 4:9

Inspiration
When we walk in obedience to God, there is a special peace of God that accompanies us. No believer can be undisturbed while walking in disobedience to God. Only when we "trust and obey" can we be truly happy in Jesus Christ.

Prayer
O Giver of true peace, the world seeks peace in their false religions, in the pleasures of this life, in the gratifying of their every desure, however sinful. We know the source of real peace. It comes from you. Help us to walk in your paths, and show us that they are indeed paths of peace. Amen.

Verse of Today

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end.-- Ephesians 3:20-21

Inspiration
God is able to do far greater things than we can even imagine. And this very power is that which is "working in us" every day, if we are children of God. He will build his Church, not only by expanding its numbers but also by deepening its faith and working in and through us to do great things that never even so much as entered our minds.

Prayer
O Lord, let us "expect great things from you and attempt great things for you." Let us not suppose we are privy to all of your thoughts and plans, but acknowledge that your thoughts and your ways are infinitely higher than ours. Let us ask boldly in faith for you to work mightily and expect you to do even more than what we ask. Amen

Verse of Today
A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.-- Psalms 37:16-17

Inspiration
It is better to be a Christian who does not have much in this world, in comparison to being a wicked person who abounds in wealth. There will come a day where all of these earthly things will pass away and we will be faced with what matters the most – our eternity. The wicked will have to account for their actions and face their consequences and their wealth will not be able to get them out of it.

Prayer
Dear God, I pray that I will never lose sight of what truly matters in this life. May my mind always be concerned with your Kingdom, Lord, and not in amassing wealth on this earth. I know that everything I attain on earth is temporary. May mind never lose sight of what truly matters – spending eternity with you. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
