'Day of Preparation' — Mark 15:42

[Jesus' crucifixion] happened on* the day of preparation, the day before the Sabbath.

* The NLT translators added "Friday" to the text here. However, it was not in the original Greek text or found in other reputable translations. — Mark 15:42 NLT

Key Thought

We have lost almost all sense of a day of preparation for a holy day with God. Unfortunately, many Christians have lost their sense of the specialness of the first day of the week (Sunday) and let many other things crowd in and distort a day to be with God and his people. To challenge folks to spend Saturday preparing for this day is almost unthinkable to many in our busy world. Yet, no matter what else was happening, the Jews in Jesus' day took notice and made advance preparations to honor their Sabbath with God. There are two judgments rendered by this one short verse. First, ritual observance of days does not make us holy, because it is so easy to do the ritual and forget the righteous call of God — the horrible acts of the people directed at Jesus are proof of this truth. Second, in our day, we have lost the sense of holy because we have allowed all days to become the same — busy days to get done what we want to do and then squeeze our "God-time" in where it fits. How sad on both accounts.

Today's Prayer

O Father, please give me a proper sense of what is holy. I do not want to be a legalistic ritual keeper; yet, at the same time, I do not want to drain all of life of its spiritual meaning by secularizing all time. Teach me to know your will, your time, and your holy ways. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

'God Has Always Marked His People'

All must be circumcised. Your bodies will bear the mark of my everlasting covenant.

In [Christ] you were circumcised. It was not a circumcision performed by human hands. But it was a removal of the corrupt nature in the circumcision performed by Christ. This happened when you were placed in the tomb with Christ through baptism.
— Genesis 17:13 NLT & Colossians 2:11-12a GWT

Today's Prayer
Lord, I praise You and thank You for marking and protecting Your territory—Your people—throughout all the generations from Abraham forward. Thank You for allowing us to be unified under the banner of Your one and only Son, Jesus Christ, and for giving us the symbol of baptism that unites all believers. In His Name, Amen.

OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND BEGIN TO PRAY NOW🙌🙏😩🙇‍♂️

Thank God for another day of life

*_But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you._*
1 Peter 5:10

*Prayer :*

We are grateful for the gift of another day, a new day that no one can comprehend.

Remember us all. Remember the particular needs of each one of us. May You be with those in their suffering now and strengthen them in all they endure.

May Your power work in them to comfort, help, restore, and do miracles for them until the day when everyone can see Christ who is the same yesterday, today and into all eternity.

Let grace appear to all so that all may glorify Your Holy Name,
In Jesus' name, I pray.

*_Blessed Sunday_*

'Christians Wield Great Power in Their Words'

I will give you the keys (authority) of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind [forbid, declare to be improper and unlawful] on earth will have [already] been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose [permit, declare lawful] on earth will have [already] been loosed in heaven.— Matthew 16:19 AMP

Today's Prayer
Lord, thank You for empowering Christians with authority and power. Thank You for the power in our prayers and the spoken word. Thank You for giving Christians authority here on earth. Remind us always to be bold, loving, and forgiving to those around us. Remind us in the heat of the moment that we can speak realities into our daily situations because of that authority. In Jesus’ Name, Amen

💔💔Many people avoid answering this question... Is God important in your life?
In our busy lives, we chase after money, status, and success, but often feel empty and exhausted. Even if we have everything, our hearts still cannot find true satisfaction. How many nights have we sighed alone, how many times have we tried, yet still feel lost in life?
All of this is precisely because we have strayed far from God. Without God, our lives are like a ship without a direction, drifting with the waves; like dry land, lacking moisture. True satisfaction does not come from worldly wealth and achievements, but from the knowledge and obedience of our Creator.

📖 God said, ‘For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? ’ (Matthew 16:26)
📚 God says, “When one does not have God, when one cannot see Him, when one cannot clearly recognize God’s sovereignty, every day is meaningless, worthless, miserable. Wherever one is, whatever one’s job is, one’s means of living and the pursuit of one’s goals bring one nothing but endless heartbreak and suffering without relief, such that one cannot bear to look back on one’s past. Only when one accepts the Creator’s sovereignty, submits to His orchestrations and arrangements, and seeks true human life will one gradually begin to break free from all heartbreak and suffering, and to be rid of all the emptiness of life.”
If you are willing to put God first in your life, type in ‘Amen.’ 🤗🤗
