"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you."
1Peter 3-4
-- We were born into a Living Hope. This hope that we have in the Lord Jesus is real and vibrant. We also know that we have an inheritance awaiting that is also real and alive, it is not myth or fantasy, but truth and reality. It is waiting for us and will be revealed.
Let us rest in this assurance, knowing that our hope is not in this present world or circumstances, but in the Lord and the glories that await. Amen.
prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus I praise You for Your Holy Word. I thank You that I can trust You in all things. I pray that You will comfort me now with a heart of expectancy for what is in store for me. I praise You Lord. Amen.

The Sacrifices of God
"For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise."
Psalms 51:16-17
-- In this Psalm David cries out in repentance to God for his sin with Bathsheba. He acknowledges that God does not take pleasure in burnt offerings or animal sacrifices, but in a contrite heart and a broken spirit. Humility and contrition before God is not a sign of weakness, it is what He desires, He is pleased with those whose hearts are soft and tender.
May we develop hearts that are yielded to the Lord.
prayer:
Dear Lord, I ask that my heart will be soft and pliable to You and Your Word. You delight in a broken heart and a contrite spirit. I pray that I will be continually yielded to You. I love You Lord. Amen.

Psalm 1:1-3
"Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither."
-- In these verses we see the keys to living a successful Christian life. The keys are: staying separate from the ways of wickedness and delighting in the Word of God. May we be strong in the Lord and keep our hearts free from pollution and may we develop a love for the Word of God. This is living a life that is blessed and prosperous.
