'Preparing the Way' β Matthew 3:3-4
Key Thought
Preparation is hard work. To be the one who prepares the way for someone else's travel but doesn't get to go down that road, well, that is even tougher. To live all your life so someone else can find the spotlight is toughest of all. But to lose your life in this cause goes beyond words. John spent his life for one purpose: to prepare people to know Jesus as God's Son, the Christ. Can our purpose in life be any less? What would happen if we decided to begin each day with the commitment that we would live, talk, act, and care for people with the express purpose that their hearts become prepared to acknowledge Jesus as Lord? So let's find out, beginning today!
Today's Prayer
Loving and patient Father, I'm a little slow sometimes to catch on to what you want me to do. But, I know you want me to live my life with the same purpose John lived his: to help prepare people to know Jesus as Lord. Give me eyes to see those searching for Jesus and a life that beckons them to follow him. In Jesus' name. Amen.

2) You meet God before meeting the circumstances of life.
3) You talk to God before talking to men.
4) Communicate with God before your fellowship with others.
5) You hear news from Heaven before receiving news from the earth.
6) You sit before God before sitting in front of men.
7) You kneel before God so that you donβt have to bow before men.
π You honor God before honoring men.
9) You enter the presence of God, before entering the presence of men.
10) You nourish your Spirit before feeding your body.
11) You call upon the Almighty God before calling all the other little names in the world.
12) You first look at the only true God before looking at yourself in the mirror.

Making Good Choices
When you make a choice against one thing, you make a choice for something else. When you make up your mind to abhor evil, you make the choice to cling to what is good. When you choose to ignore the prompting of the Lord in an area, you are making the choice to do something that opposes His best plan for your life. Choosing to do right isnβt always easy, but itβs worth it. And Godβs grace is always sufficient. To make good choices, recognize that everyone faces temptations. That includes you! At some point, you WILL be tempted to make a bad choice. James 1:14 says that we are tempted when we become enticed by our own natural desires. Temptation is a given. Donβt be surprised by it. Rather, expect to be tempted and be prepared for it. Prepare NOW to make good choices in the future. Praying, fasting and reading the Bible will fill you with wisdom and power so that you are prepared to make the right choice when you are faced with a difficult situation. If you wait to prepare until you are already facing the temptation, it is easier to make a bad choice. Prepare ahead of time. Start now!
Develop relationships with other people who or are striving to make Godly choices. If many of the people you relate with or gather together do not share your values, you need to change them lest you will be influenced by them. Attending church, volunteering to serve, and participating in godly groups put you in contact with others who face the same struggles you face, but are overcoming. Making the right choice is easier together.
Prayer:
Father, I receive grace to prepare in advance for the temptations that are ahead. Help me to make the right decisions for the right consequences in Jesusβ Name.
Text: _βToday I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!β_ (Deuteronomy 30:19 NLT)

Child of God,
Exceeding and precious promises have been given to you by Christ. The God-life is open to you by these words, hold fast to your profession of faith, who is Christ.
His promises are your hope and an anchor for your soul; as you meditate on them daily and keep them on your mind and lips, you are established in the finished and perfect work of Christ in you.
Your future is not a mystery to God. There are people and things set for your advantage and God leads you into the paths prepared ahead for you that you should walk in them.
You were made for that altar, business, relationship, and ministry; you come in the power of the One that called and sent you.
I decree and declare that you have the wisdom to translate what you have been promised in the scriptures into possession.
Do not be afraid or be discouraged. Every great oak tree was once a seed. The Lord rejoices to see the work begin.
Take that step of faith. Hallelujah!

I thank You Lord for enabling us wake up again this morning in good shape.
Thank You for keeping my enemies at bay, away from me.
Thank You Jehovah for being my God, for accepting me even in my sinful nature.
Help me to stay focused on You. May I not stray from my journey of faith. May my faith in You never dwindle into doubt. May it never waver and be swayed by the challenges I face.
In times when it is fading, may I stand firm in Your mighty rock of grace.

'The Famine Is Over!' β Matthew 3:5-6
Key Thought
There is something self-revealing in God's word when presented in all of its liberating and uncomfortable truth. God had warned his people many years earlier through Amos that there would be a famine for God's word, a time when the voice of God through the prophets would go silent. John was the re-awakening of God's voice through a prophet. There was a clarity and ring of truth in his convicting message. He called people to a life-change through the confession of sins and baptism. People flocked to hear him, and then changed their lives based on his message from God. John was not in a convenient location. He didn't have money or power to gain an audience. What was John's attraction? It was that God's voice was recognizable in his preaching. The famine was over! People flocked to feed on the truth of God!
Today's Prayer
Holy and righteous Father, give me a love for your truth and a passion for your word. Through your Spirit, please enable me to understand and apply your truth in my daily life. In the name of my Lord Jesus, I pray. Amen.
