Deuteronomy 32; Hebrews 1; John 14; Hebrews 4; 1 Peter 1

Good morning, Heavenly Father, you are my rock; all your work is perfect. You are truth. You have bought me. You have made me, and you establish me. You found me when I was lost, and you led me out.

You instructed me, and you have made me the apple of your eye. You have made me ride on the high places of the earth. I set my heart upon all your words which you have given to me. Your word is life.

Lord Jesus, you are the Word of God. You uphold all things by the power of the Word of God. You are the way, the truth, and the life. In you and your word, Lord Jesus, is life.

The Word is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword. It pierces to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow. It discerns the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

The Word is the good news that is preached to me. I have been born again by the living and abiding Word of God; by the very word and person of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 8

God is for me; who can be against me? Will he not with Christ graciously give me all things? It is God who justifies; who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died, who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who is interceding for me.

Who can separate me from the love of Christ? Tribulation, distress, persecution, or famine, nakedness, danger, sword? No, in all these things I am more than a conqueror through Christ who loves me.

I am sure neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all of creation will be able to separate me from the love of God in Christ Jesus, my Lord.

1 Corinthians 6; John 10; Psalm 23

Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Messiah, and I worship you. I have been bought by you. I am no longer my own. I belong to you. I hear your voice, and I follow you.

You are my shepherd, and I want for nothing. Your rod and your staff they comfort me. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life, and I dwell in the house of God forever.

Matthew 11; John 15 & 16

Thank you, Lord, for your rest. I take your yoke upon me and learn from you, for you are meek and lowly, and I find rest for my soul; for your yoke is easy and your burden is light.

I abide in you, and your word abides in me. I keep your word in front of me. I watch your word like I would watch a channel marker. I live in the love you have for me, filled and anointed, guarded and guided.

Your joy is in me, and I am full of the joy of the Lord. Thank you, Lord that you chose me and appointed me that I should go and bear fruit, fruit that would last.

Thank you, father, for the gift of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, who proceeds from the father and bears witness about my Lord Jesus and guides me into all truth.

The Spirit of God declares things to come and glorifies the Lord Jesus, and fills me with righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

1 Peter 1

Today I prepare my mind for action. I’m sober-minded. I set my hope fully on the grace that is brought to me today by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Today, by God’s grace, I am holy in all my conduct, knowing that I am ransomed from the futile ways inherited from my forefathers not with perishable things, but with the precious blood of Christ. My faith and my hope are in God.

God has purified my soul through faith in Christ. I know I am loved by God and able to love others earnestly with a pure heart. I have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God.

All flesh is like grass. Grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord remains forever. And this word is the good news that has been preached to me. So, I put away all malice and self, and long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it, I may grow up into salvation.

Galatians 2 & 3

Thank you, God, my father, that you work in me, both to will and to work for your good pleasure. By the works of the law no one is justified, but by your grace, I died to the law so that I might live to you, father.

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. The life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in Jesus, your son, who loved me and gave himself for me.

What you, father, have begun in me with your Spirit, you will finish in me by your Spirit. The righteous live by faith.

Jesus, the Christ, redeemed me from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for me, so that in Christ Jesus, the blessing of Abraham might come to me, so that I would receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith.

For in Christ Jesus, I am your son, father, through faith. I was baptized into Christ. I have put on Christ. I am one with Christ.

Hebrews 7 & 8

Jesus became a priest not on the basis of legal requirements, but by the power of an indestructible life. For the father said to him, “You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.” He was made a priest with an oath from God, the father, who said, ” You are a priest forever.”

This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant. He holds the priesthood permanently; consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.

He has no need to offer sacrifices daily since he did this once for all when he offered up himself. The word of the oath, that came later than the law, appoints a son who has been made perfect forever.

I have a high priest who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven and makes intercession daily for me.

Ecclesiastes 12; Proverbs 1 & 2

The end of the matter: fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.

When I turn at the Spirit’s reproof, God pours his Spirit to me, and he makes his word known to me. I receive my father’s words, and I treasure his commandments. I make my ear attentive to wisdom, and I incline my heart to understanding.

I call out for insight and pray for understanding. I seek these things like silver and search for them like hidden treasure.

As I do, I understand the fear of the Lord and find knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He stores up wisdom for the upright, and he is a shield for those who walk with integrity.

Hebrews 12 & 13

Today, father, I give you worship with reverence and awe. I’m grateful to be in your kingdom, a kingdom that cannot be shaken. You, father, are a consuming fire.

My Lord Jesus has told me he will never leave me nor forsake me. “The Lord is my helper, I do not fear, what can man do to me? ” Jesus is the same yesterday and today and forever.

I will not be led away by diverse and strange teachings. Through Jesus, my Lord, I continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is the fruit of my lips that acknowledge his name.

I obey my leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over my soul. Let them be wise, obedient leaders, who lead with joy and not with groaning.

Father, you are the God of Peace; you brought the Lord Jesus again from the dead. You equip me today with everything good that I may do your will; working in me that which is pleasing in your sight through Jesus the Christ.

1 Corinthians 15

I believe that you, Jesus, the Christ, died for my sins in accordance with the scriptures, and that you were buried, and that you were raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that you appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

Then you appeared to more than 500 brothers at one time, most of whom were still alive when these words were written.

“If Christ had not been raised, then our preaching and our faith would be in vain.” But, in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For Christ is the first fruit.

Then at his coming those who belong to Christ. Then comes the end when he delivers the kingdom to God, my father, after destroying every rule and every authority and power.

I know that what is sown does not come to life unless it dies. So it is with the resurrection of the dead.

What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.
