Scripture: Mark 14:30 “I tell you the truth,” Jesus answered, “today–yes, tonight–before the rooster crows twice you yourself will disown me three times.”

Observation: I don’t have to say the words, but my actions at times says I don’t know Him. I start my day out praying, but it doesn’t take long before I say something or judge someone in a way that seems as if I don’t know my Lord. Jesus commands that I walk alongside Him and live a life honoring Him and when I don’t I deny Him as my Lord since I disobey Him. I don’t have to say I don’t know Him, but I can act in a way that says the same thing to others.

Application: I’m called to be a light in this world and act as close as I can to Jesus so others may see Him through me. I’m going to speak to a junior high class today at church and share my testimony. This will give me the opportunity to share His love with others. May I represent my Lord and honor Him.

Prayer: Dear Lord. I’m sorry and I ask your forgiveness. Help me speak out boldly of your love and grace and never to deny you again. I need you to be with me and help me through this life and show me how to shine for your glory.

Scripture: Mark 13 [36] If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping.:

Observation: If Jesus came now I would be asleep. I get up each morning and pray and I want to make a difference, but I fall in the same rot, go to work, eat dinner, watch television and go to bed. Lately I’ve been so tired that we haven’t gone to our Wednesday night Bible study and if we don’t serve at church on Saturday I don’t go. I wonder if when He comes He finds me sleeping if He would even wake me up.

Application: I need to get busy. God has given me the testimony on depression and has allowed me to write a book and guided me through a class I can give to draw others nearer to Him. I need to get more involved in the church and make an effort to go out and find ways to serve. I need to take the no doze of serving others in His precious name.

Prayer: Dear Lord my spirit is willing but my flesh is weak. Strengthen me and guide me in fulfilling the purpose you have created me for and wake me up. May I be busy when you return and then keep me busy for all eternity.

Scripture: Matthew 12: [30] Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

Observation: I know that is the most important commandment, but yet I don’t live my life that way. I put myself before anything else and not God, but if I loved Him the way I should He would be first. In all my heart, there shouldn’t be anyone I love more than God, all my mind, God should be in my thoughts at all time no matter what I’m doing and with all my strength is all that I do I should be doing it for the Lord.

Application: Make God my number one priority in all things, everyday. I should fall in love with Him each morning and continue until I fall asleep and do it all over again. Before I do or say anything I should know if it will honor God. My love needs to be so great that others see it in my life and if they were asked they will tell others of my love for my Lord.

Prayer: Dear Father I do love you, but not enough. Help me take the focus off of me and the things that I see to be problems and be totally dedicated to you.
