The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease.

Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning.

I say to myself, “The LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in Him!”

Lamentations 3:22-24 NLT

Lord Jesus! I quietly meditate in Your presence. Lord, I thank You, that on this last day of the year, I am grateful to have successfully overcome the many challenges that came my way. Each difficulty has been met with strength and my faith in You. You have shown me Your mercy! I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.

Ephesians 1:22-24 NLT

Lord Jesus, I thank You for this day! I give You thanks for the many blessings that I have received during the year. You have kept me from falling prey to the wiles of the enemy. I pray for continued good health, blessings and comfort. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.

Ephesians 4:26 NLT Bible

We all get angry at times, but the key is to resolve it quickly and not allow it to fester. There are many reasons why we may become angry, and sometimes it's justified, but it's how we respond to the situation that really matters. We probably know of people who've remained angry for days, not speaking to the person who supposedly upset them. This is certainly not pleasing to God and only ends up hurting everyone involved. This verse clearly tells us that we are not to let the day end without working out our differences in a loving and respectful manner. 

Anger hurts us physically, emotionally and spiritually. We can't function properly or worship God because our hearts are filled with rage and hatred. Some people lose all self control when angry and become abusive and violent and we all know of instances when this resulted in tragedy. The reasons for becoming angry are varied......stress, jealousy, 'deep rooted' problems, painful memories or sometimes just having a difficult day at work. 

We need to ask God for wisdom to deal with situations in a calm and rational manner, practice self control, think before speaking, walk away from confrontation and make amends to the ones we've hurt as quickly as possible.  Recognize that we will not always agree, but we can disagree in an agreeable and loving manner. For many, learning to control anger is ongoing, but we can be victorious as we seek help from God and make a concerted effort to not allow it to control our behaviour and treatment of others.

Thank you, Lord, for loving me just as I am, with all my flaws and shortcomings. Help me Lord to control my anger and to treat people with the respect and kindness they deserve. I can't do it without You. I surrender all to You! I love you, Jesus. Amen! 

Be Blessed!

Matthew 2:1-6 NKJV

1. Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod. About that time some wise men from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking,

2.“Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him.”

3. King Herod was deeply disturbed when he heard this, as was everyone in Jerusalem.

4. He called a meeting of the leading priests and teachers of religious law and asked, “Where is the Messiah supposed to be born?”

5. “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they said, “for this is what the prophet wrote:

6. ‘And you, O Bethlehem in the land of Judah, are not least among the ruling cities of Judah, for a ruler will come from you who will be the shepherd for my people Israel.”

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Romans 8:35 NKJV

Lord Jesus! I stand firmly rooted in the truth found in Your Word.  My conviction remains steadfast, even when friends or acquaintances attempt to influence my thoughts or beliefs. I rebuke the very appearance of evil in the name of Jesus. Thank You Lord for being my Protector. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

“So, Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David.

He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.  While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 

An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.  But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. 

This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” 

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.” 

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” 

So, they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 

When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.

Luke 2:4-18  NIV Bible

Thank you, Lord, for sending Your Son Jesus! I pray that in the midst of all the Christmas preparations and activities; I will always be mindful that the true meaning of the season is the birth of my Saviour! I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
