The Two Wolves
"I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.
Now choose life." (Deu. 30:19)
Whenever someone repents and accepts Jesus as Lord of their life, the Holy Spirit comes to live within them and, from that point on, a spiritual battle exists between their sinful nature and the Holy Spirit. Gal. 5:17 describes this battle: "For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want." Our sinful nature is a powerful force which will continue to rule our lives unless we submit to the Spirit just as Gal. 5:16 tells us, "live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of...
Dear Father, I come to you today in Jesus' name and I really desire to have your wisdom and knowledge. I honestly want to walk in such a way that I can be kind to those who speak against me, and I truly want to seek their good. I know that without the Holy Spirit I cannot do this, so fill me with your Spirit today. Let me be kind and loving; and change my heart from being defensive and argumentative, to being loving and kind. Help me speak the truth in love, yet without an angry tone. Help me to remember that you will defend me. Lord, when I see faults in others, help me to also check my own heart and motives for faults. Then Lord, deliver us all from those things that are not pleasing in your eyes. I choose to be a peacemaker today, not a trouble maker. I am trusting you to change those around me, as well as change those things in me that would cause us to engage in any unkind speaking. Amen.

HE WAS BORN A SAVIOR
Luke 2:11, "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."
LUKE 2:8-20
Jesus did not grow into being Lord and Saviour. He was born that way. Jesus was God manifest in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:16). What a great mystery!
How could Almighty God limit Himself to the form of a man? And even if He did that, how could...
Lord, we also ask you to forgive our national sins of racism, abortion, strife, hatred, pornography, adultery, lust, idolatry and our many other sins. Be merciful to us. We realize we deserve judgement in our land for these sins. However, we are asking that you send a revival among us so that we might turn from our wickedness and our land be spared. Help me to do my part in changing this nation. Although my life may only represent one drop of rain, there are many other Christians who are rain drops too. Add each Christian's life and their godly witness and influence to this sound of rain until Your love and Your Word covers this dry and thirsty earth. In the precious name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

GOD DESIRES FAITH
Luke 2:7, "And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn."
LUKE 2:1-7
What an amazing account! God Almighty was born of a virgin and placed in a feeding trough in a stable. Who would ever expect the Creator of the universe to make His entrance into the world in such a humble fashion?
Men always seek to proclaim their glory as far and wide as possible. Yet here is the only one who really has any glory to proclaim, and He comes humbly. It wasn't because He didn't have the power to do things otherwise.
He could have chosen to be born in a fashion that would have brought all creation to their knees in worship. He could have announced His birth to the most powerful and famous men of the day instead of lowly shepherds. He could have had the most luxurious accommodations instead of a stable. But...
Dear Father in Heaven, Thank you for your love and concern for me and the things that concern me. Lord, I was judged wrongly this week by someone I loved and befriended. Yes, it hurt, but I also hurt for them, as I see how they believed a lie of the devil, and now they no longer want this relationship. Lord, though they were wrong, what do I need to learn from this experience? Lord, I confess I wanted to strongly justify and defend my position, not only to them, but to the other concerned parties also. However, I know that I must leave this to You, as You are the righteous judge. You know what really happened, and even if I spoke it in defense of my position, unless you revealed it to them they could not hear it anyway. So, at this point, I shall leave this all to you to repair. I will simply voice the words that you give me to share in this situation. I know those words will be gracious, as You are gracious. Thank you, that I will be able to...

JOSEPH WAS A MAN OF FAITH
Matthew 1:24, "Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife."
MATTHEW 1:18-24
Much attention is given to Mary and her piety, but Joseph was quite a man of faith, too.
Verse 18 says that Mary was "found" with child, implying that the pregnancy was observed by Joseph, not explained...

Dear Father, I am grateful that you have left us the Bible with all of its wisdom and knowledge so that we do not get lost in this life or overwhelmed by the problems that we face. I do thank you that for every problem we face, You will help me find the answer and overcome in the situation. Help me not only be able to overcome my problems, but also Lord, help me to maintain the proper heart attitude as I work on the situations in my life that need changing. I know that I must react to my problems with Your love and in a way that is pleasing to you. Give me the grace to do that, as in my own strength I am not able to approach many of my problems with a godly attitude. In Jesus name, Amen.

DESERT TRAINING
Luke 1:80, "And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel."
LUKE 1:57-80
John the Baptist had the most important job assignment ever given to any mortal in the history of the world. He was to prepare the way for the coming of the long awaited Messiah (v. 76).
How did the Lord prepare John...
