REFERENCE:

But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” Matthew 14:27

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to follow the command of Jesus, and take courage wherever you go.

REFERENCE:

So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to let God be God. That position is filled and we were not hired to do the work of the Lord. Instead, let us honor and reverence Him for what He has done and about to do for us.

REFERENCE:

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. Colossians 3:16

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to let the word of Christ dwell in you, so that it may benefit your soul and others.

REFERENCE:

You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:22-24

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to dispose of and shed the old self and put on the new creation in Christ. Let us be reminded that, He has redeemed us by His blood and we are no longer slaves to our own flesh.

REFERENCE:

With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? James 3:9-11

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to refrain from speaking good and evil at the same time. For this is not the will of God for our lives. By doing so, we avoid conflict, confusion and calamity.

REFERENCE:

So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. Hebrews 10:35-36

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to hold on to every promise that the Lord has made. For He is our saving grace in times of discouragement.

REFERENCE:

But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth. Exodus 9:16

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to accept the purpose that God has predestined for your life. He will continue to work in and through us to show His infinite power.

REFERENCE:

If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. Matthew 21:22

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to believe in what you pray for unto the Lord. Wavering faith produces wavering results. Our belief is based on our measure of faith and aligning what His word says.

REFERENCE:

For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory. Deuteronomy 20:4

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to watch the victory of the Lord go into action in your life. If the word says it, then it is done already. We can do nothing out of own might, unless the Lord our God is ahead of it all.

REFERENCE:

Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Psalms 51:10

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to allow the Lord our God to do a cleansing in you. Out with the old and in with the new spirit in Him.
