MONDAY 

 GOD gives the MOST

“Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.”

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬ NASB 

“Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed;”

2 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭NASB

‭‭“as it is written, “He scattered abroad, he gave to the poor, His righteousness endures forever.”

2 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭9‬ ‭NASB 

‭‭“Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. This SERVICE that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.”

2 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

‭‭When we invest what God has given us—to do His work—He provides even more. 

Ask God how He wants you To invest in His Kingdom.

PRAY

TUESDAY 

           -Prayer for Mercy –

     -No matter the Situation-

     God is always at our side 

“Blessed are those who have regard for the weak; the Lord delivers them in times of trouble. The Lord protects and preserves them— they are counted among the blessed in the land— he does not give them over to the desire of their foes. The Lord sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness. I said, “Have mercy on me, Lord; heal me, for I have sinned against you.” My enemies say of me in malice, “When will he die and his name perish?” When one of them comes to see me, he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander; then he goes out and spreads it around. All my enemies whisper together against me; they imagine the worst for me, saying, “A vile disease has afflicted him; he will never get up from the place where he lies.” Even my close friend, someone I trusted, one who shared my bread, has turned against me. But may you have mercy on me, Lord; raise me up, that I may repay them. I know that you are pleased with me, for my enemy does not triumph over me. Because of my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever. Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭41‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

WEDNESDAY 

Our hope is built on nothing less than JESUS blood and righteousness. In TIMES of discouragement have faith in GOD. 

“Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause against an unfaithful nation. Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked. You are God my stronghold. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy? Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell. Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. 

I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God. Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? 

Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.”

Psalms‬ ‭43‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV

‭‭PRAY 

THURSDAY

God’s presence is our joy, security, and salvation. God is our defender and  guide forever. (Life Application Study Bible)

“Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, his holy mountain. Beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth, like the heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the Great King. God is in her citadels; he has shown himself to be her fortress. When the kings joined forces, when they advanced together, they saw her and were astounded; they fled in terror. Trembling seized them there, pain like that of a woman in labor. You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish shattered by an east wind. As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the Lord Almighty, in the city of our God: God makes her secure forever. Within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love. Like your name, O God, your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with righteousness. Mount Zion rejoices, the villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments. Walk about Zion, go around her, count her towers, consider well her ramparts, view her citadels, that you may tell of them to the next generation. 

For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end.”

Psalms‬ ‭48‬:‭1‬-‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

‭‭Let His Word penetrate your heart as you pray. 

FRIDAY 

God will judge the evildoer. Our anger must not block our confidence in God’s ability to defeat the evil. (Life Application Study Bible)

“Why do you boast of evil, you mighty hero? Why do you boast all day long, you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God? You who practice deceit, your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor. You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking the truth. You love every harmful word, you deceitful tongue! Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin: He will snatch you up and pluck you from your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living. 

The righteous will see and fear; they will laugh at you, saying, “Here now is the man who did not make God his stronghold but trusted in his great wealth and grew strong by destroying others!” 

But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever. 

For what you have done I will always praise you in the presence of your faithful people. 

And I will hope in your name, for your name is good.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭52‬:‭1‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

PRAY 

SATURDAY 

          Prayer for Security and Assurance!

“Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. For you, God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name. Increase the days of the king’s life, his years for many generations. May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.

Then I will ever sing in praise of your name and fulfill my vows day after day.”

Psalms‬ ‭61‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

‭‭Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

SUNDAY 

      JESUS Paid It ALL

I hear the Savior say

Thy strength indeed is small

Child of weakness, watch and pray

Find in Me thine all in all

Jesus paid it all

All to Him I owe

Sin had left a crimson stain

He washed it white as snow

Lord, now indeed I find

Thy power and Thine alone

Can change the leper’s spots

And melt the heart of stone

Jesus paid it all

All to him I owe

Sin had left a crimson stain

He washed it white as snow

And when before the throne

I stand in Him complete

Jesus died, my soul to save

My lips shall still repeat

Jesus paid it all

All to Him I owe

Sin had left a crimson stain

He washed it white as snow

Jesus paid it all

All to Him I owe

Sin had left a crimson stain

He washed it white as snow

He washed it white as snow

He washed it white as snow

Oh, praise the One who paid my debt

And raised this life up from the dead

Oh, praise the One who paid my debt

And raised this life up from the dead

Oh, praise the One who paid my debt

And raised this life up from the dead

Oh, praise the One who paid my debt

And raised this life up from the dead

Oh, praise the One who paid my debt

And raised this life up from the dead

Oh, praise the One who paid my debt

And raised this life up from the dead

Oh praise Him

Oh praise Him

Oh praise Him, yeah

Oh oh You brought me, oh You saved me

Oh You brought me back to life, yeah

You rewrote my story

You changed my destiny God

Oh You changed my life, yeah

I praise You, I praise You, yes

Oh, praise the One who paid my debt

And raised this life up from the dead

Oh, praise the One who paid my debt

And raised this life up from the dead

Oh, praise the One who paid my debt

And raised this life up from the dead

Oh, praise the One who paid my debt

And raised this life up from the dead

‘Cause Jesus paid it all

All to Him I owe

Sin had left a crimson stain

He washed it white as snow (sing that again)

Jesus paid it all

All to Him I owe

Sin had left a crimson stain

He washed me white as snow

Elvina M. Hall 1865
