September Positivity Scripture Challenge Day 14

Hello friends! 

The month is almost gone but we are still plugging away at scripture and I hope you are learning and meditating on these verses this month.  I have enjoyed writing and digging into them with you all! 

Positivity Scripture Challenge Day 14 

“For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.””

Romans1:17NASB

As a believer and follower of Jesus, we are made righteous through the blood of Jesus Christ.  There is not anything in me that is good.  Jesus Christ makes me good. 

God is who we must learn about in order to know who we should be and how we can through faith grow.  I use to think since God saved me from sin, I didn’t have to worry about anything else.  I could just sit back and not really do anything else.  My faith would just be there.  My knowledge was still second hand from the Pastor.  My knowledge came from the world more than the Bible and as a result my faith was weak. 

I since have learned my faith can not grow without more knowledge of God than anything else.  I can not expect to know how to walk in faith if my faith is still only what others tell me.  

The Bible is for every one of us.  God expects us to learn and become His partner in growing our faith together. Today will you open the Word with me and pray that the Holy Spirit will fill us and help us to learn more about who God is?   

Blessings-

September Positivity Scripture Day 13

Today is Day 13 of the Positivity Scripture Challenge 

“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭16:13‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬

Who else needs a pep talk?  This verse seems like a pep talk at this moment while reading it except in and of myself there is weakness.  There isn’t much courage without God in me. 

As I have grown deeper in studying who God is in the Bible, I know that even when I give my all there is still God working to make me strong. Standing firm is easier when I am reminded who Hod is.  In my weakest moments in life, God gives me strength to keep going.  He also has given me courage to step in faith without knowing what’s on the other side of the decision being made.  He gives discernment to the believer when we grow in knowledge of Him.  

Who is God to you?  

If you can’t answer this question, I urge you to find your bible and dig in!  Bible study doesn’t have to be complicated. We can read a few verses a day like this scripture challenge and search it out and His Word will reveal who God is for us. 

To bear the image of Christ is to know who He is! 

Lord Jesus thank you for giving us a courageous heart of faith.  I pray we seek you for the decisions being made in our life.  Forgive us of doubts and fears but give us a spirit of positivity and confidence in you Jesus🙌🏻  Amen 

Blessings-

September Positivity Scripture Challenge Day 12

Hello friends!

Today is Day 12 of the Positivity Scripture Challenge 

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.”

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This world fades alway as well as this body we have been given.  As much as we try to use the anti aging creams and etc, the fact is we can’t stay the same as we once were. 

Unlike this body, God is unchanging and never fades away.  God promises to renew us. He gives us a mind like Him when we follow Him. He promises a new body when die.  

No matter the discouragement we face today we can be assured God is our joy. 

So don’t lose heart today friend! Jesus is giving us a new perspective. 

Have a great day!

Today’s Positivity Scripture day 11

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3:22-23‬ ‭NIV 

Praising God is a posture of the heart.  It sometimes can be hard if where we are isn’t a good place. God is faithful and worthy of our praise even in the bad as well as the good. 

Today no matter where you are currently, stop and find praise toward God. Can you think of things maybe we take for granted each day?  

There are things like the car ride with my son I thank God for each morning. Those precious few minutes go by  fast and one day I will wish I could have them again.  Maybe it’s as simple as having just enough money for the week ahead.  God provides for us in every way and gives mercy when we don’t deserve it. 

Praise Him for His faithfulness in our life today!  Amen 

Have a great day!  Talk to you soon!
