'Only One to Worship' — Matthew 4:8-10

[Continuing the temptations,] the devil took [Jesus] to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. "I will give it all to you," he said, "if you will kneel down and worship me."
"Get out of here, Satan," Jesus told him. "For the Scriptures say,

'You must worship the Lord your God
and serve only him.'"— Matthew 4:8-10 NLT

Key Thought

What's our breaking point? At what point would we quit honoring God and begin to choose Satan's path? Not a very comfortable question, is it? What if we knew someone had power over the world and would give it to us if we would just acknowledge him as king? What if we knew we would suffer and be offered as a sacrifice because we would not acknowledge him as king? Jesus is Lord, not because he took Satan's phony bargain, but because he refused it. "Get out of here!" Jesus ordered and Satan obeyed — as the next verse describes (Matthew 4:11). But the cost of this victory for Jesus meant a far more gruesome battle to come. Nevertheless, Jesus refused to compromise his devotion to the Father even at the cost of his own comfort, acceptance, and life. Jesus won these battles over Satan and repeatedly chose to walk the path of total devotion to God, at incredible cost, to redeem us!

Today's Prayer

O Lord my God, my heart is filled with admiration, wonder, thanks, and praise. Your plan to redeem me from my sins and adopt me into your family comes at such a high cost to you and Jesus. Thank you for saving me. Thank you for redeeming me from the debt of sin. Jesus, Lord and Christ, thank you for dying to prevent death's power controlling me. Thank you. In your name, I thank you!

Thank You for all that You have blessed me with, including life, provision of basic needs and good health.

When my human wisdom tells me to worry, fill me with calming guidance and remind me to pray.

I ask the Holy Spirit to guide me gently, prompting me to reach toward You in prayer in every situation.

Remove the power that the world claims to hold over me, give it to You, its rightful owner. 
May Your gentleness be made known to all and the fact that You are in control.

Even when I don’t understand the “why” or “how,” I believe You are working behind the scenes for my good. Fill my heart with peace where there is anxiety, and give me strength where I feel weak. Help me to walk in faith, not fear —to speak with love, and to live with purpose. Thank You for the promise in Ephesians 3:20, that You are able to do exceedingly more than I could ever ask or imagine. Your strength and ability are unmatched, and I am in awe of Your power and grace. Thank You for walking with me through every challenge I face. Knowing You are by my side gives me confidence and peace, no matter what comes my way. Help me to trust in Your limitless power and to lean on You in every moment. In Jesus’ name, Amen!*

Your Story Is Part of a Greater Story

Text: _The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: “Go to that great city of Nineveh and reach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.”_ (Jonah 1:1, 2)

Jonah was not the ideal missionary. He was disobedient, quite defiant, selfish and prejudiced. It took a storm and a big fish to get him where he was supposed to go. And it took a leafy plant and a scorching wind to get his heart in the right place. Jonah was the opposite of what we think a missionary should be. And yet, despite all that, his mission in Nineveh was effective. The people who heard his message repented. The Old Testament is silent about what happened to Jonah after Nineveh. But centuries later, Jesus mentions his name and talks about ‘the sign of Jonah’. And now, almost three thousand years later, we read his story in the Bible from a book with his name as its title. We only know Jonah from the four chapters written in his book. But God knew everything about him — his past, his thoughts, his heart, his struggles, his whole life. Jonah had no idea that his story would continue to be told hundreds of centuries after his death. He didn’t know that God would still use him — his story — to be a source of revelation and lessons for many generations and nations.

Our stories have different versions depending on who tells it. But God knows our real story — complete with background story — from beginning to the end. When we are fully devoted to Him, He takes our stories (good and bad parts included) and makes them a part of the greater story that He is weaving; a story of His plan of redemption for the nations… a story that spans generations, includes every nation and involves every person whose life is surrendered to Him. If God can use Jonah who was disobedient, He can use you even more as you remain obedient to Him. Why should YOU be involved in missions? Because God can use your story. It can be a beautiful part of a greater story — HIS Story among the nations. If others were to write the story of your life, what will they tell? What might be God’s version of your life story right now?

Prayer:
Lord God, thank You because You know the true and full story of my life. Thank You for saving me and changing my destiny. Jesus, I want my story to count for eternity. I humbly surrender my life to You. Use me for Your glory, in Jesus’ Name.

*_Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can't bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me._*
John 15:4

*Prayer :*

Lord I acknowledge that we are a wicked generation that is ripe for Your judgement and punishment. I plead for Your mercies, Dear Merciful Yahweh. Please forgive our sins and cleanse us with the blood of Jesus Christ.

Father, I seek Your presence. Please come and dwell amongst us.
May we abide in You like a branch filled with Your sap growing strong in the vine so that we bear spiritual fruit to Your glory.
In Jesus' Name, I pray.

Keep going, no matter what 🚶🚶‍♀️

'The Angels Attend' — Matthew 4:11!

[After the temptations,] the devil went away, and angels came and took care of Jesus.— Matthew 4:11 NLT

Key Thought

Have you ever wondered if there was something, or someone, there? You know, after a major decision that placed you under ridicule and an attack for choosing what was ethical, right, moral, or true. That clear good night's sleep, that sense of peaceful wellbeing, and that sense of God's care and presence are not imagined. While some have made angels a preoccupation or even a replacement for the worship of God, Christians need to know that angels are God's servants sent to serve his faithful believers! They are the great means of heavenly comfort and support after major ordeals. They are the words of encouragement given to us by the right person at just the right time. They are even in attendance when we worship together as God's people. But the point of angels is not angels per se; the point of angels is the love of God for us, his children. Let's thank him that he has not left us alone to fight the battles of faith or to find comfort after the battle has passed. And let's join the angels that surround God's throne in heaven with praise for his grace, power, majesty, and faithfulness.

Today's Prayer

Holy and Almighty God, you are worthy to receive all glory, honor, and praise. You have sacrificed your Son to redeem me. You have blessed me with support in my weakness, comfort in my grief, healing in my illness, and hope in my despair. Thank you for caring for me through Jesus in his ministry, through the Holy Spirit in his abiding presence, and through your angels in their service to my needs. For these, and so many other blessings too numerous to name, I thank you, in Jesus' name. Amen.
