Others

Ask God to bring conviction into your heart when you sin and to keep your heart tender before him.

Think of a person you love who is walking far from God…in a danger zone. Today pray that God will protect them, open their eyes, and bring them back home.

Ask God to give you the humility to seek help. Don’t let your pride get in the way.

Today’s passage makes this truth clear: You cannot blame your present sin on the sin of others. You are personally held responsible for your actions.

That’s what happens when wealth is our security. We start believing in the god of money and begin the long slippery slide to the bottom of the slope.

God forgives us completely. We need to forgive others . . . and ourselves.

Most of all, we need leaders who are not in it for themselves but are willing to make needed sacrifices to help others. We must have leaders - like Nehemiah – filled with great compassion

Are your emotions bouncing off the wall? Are all the sounds distracting you? Is the hurried pace isolating you from others? Are you visually exhausted? Close your eyes. Jesus is alive. The resurrected Lord is here. Listen to His voice.
