Finding Freedom and Hope in Jesus Christ
Daily Thought
We need eyes to see and ears to hear. If we hope to remain free and pursue the life we’ve been blessed with, we must see clearly and listen to what is being said. Even though everyone has their right to have an opinion, that doesn’t make them right or true. The Lord has given us the ability to examine things so that we can make logical and moral decisions. We also have the responsibility to guide the next generation and help them have a better future. If we do not do our part, if we allow the lies and foolishness to take over, then we will have not only failed ourselves but will have set our kids and grandkids on a terrible path that will bring them even greater problems. The choices we make today will certainly determine a lot about what they will have to live with down the road. (Psalm 112:1-2; Proverbs 20:7; Matthew 13:15; Mark 8:14-21; 1 Thessalonians 5:15-21)
Father, thank You for the people who made wise, godly, and difficult choices in the past. I’m grateful for the hard work, moral resolve, and personal sacrifice that has brought us this far. I know there have been mistakes, failures, and bad choices along the way, but overall, much good has been done and we have been blessed by our forefathers. May we do our part, may I do my part, to build up, guide, and protect what has been given to me so that the next generations are blessed as well. Please give me eyes to see and ears to hear so that I can discern right from wrong and truth from lie.
You are invited to join us for Bible study and worship every Sunday at 7pm at the Boots and Spurs Cafe in Jayton.

Needs
Trusting God with the future is so hard. I know because I personally struggle with this daily. Even though I believe that He is good, all-powerful, and faithful, it’s hard for me to let go. I want to be in control and to know the future now. In reality, most of what happens is out of my hands anyway, but I try so hard to determine the outcome of tomorrow and beyond. So, I have to constantly keep placing my faith in Him and what He has planned. I can make good choices and try to do what’s right, but the future is in His hands. (Psalm 9:10; Psalm 33:20-22; Isaiah 26:3-4; Jeremiah 29:11; Romans 8:28)

I was taught that two wrongs don’t make a right. If someone is acting in a bad way that doesn’t justify me doing something just as bad or even worse in return. The Bible tells us to overcome evil with good, not to return evil with more evil. It’s so important to take the high road, especially when we claim to be on the side of right. If we don’t, if we give into the urge to do what is clearly wrong, then we are no better than those we are fighting against. (Psalm 34:14; Proverbs 17:13; Luke 6:45; Romans 12:9, 14-21; 1 Corinthians 16:13-14; 1 Thessalonians 5:15)
Anger seldom produces positive results. There is certainly a time to be angry, and there are situations where we must react to aggression or violence immediately, but anger will cloud our vision and confuse our mind. Most often, reacting in anger creates more problems or causes us to do things we will later regret. When we can control our emotions we have a greater chance of making wise decisions and avoiding undue harm to ourselves and others. Being slow to anger can surely save us a lot of heartache and pain. (Ecclesiastes 7:9; Psalm 4:4-5; Proverbs 14:29; Ephesians 4:26-27; James 1:19-20)
Father, thank You for Your plans that do always work out just as You intend them to. I find great hope and peace in knowing that You are above all the chaos and drama of life. Please guide me towards good things and better ways so that I can live out all that You have in store for me. Help me to adapt and change as I need to when my plans contradict Yours. Just don’t let me stop or give up when life is hard, keep me moving forward to better days.

Father, thank You for being above all the noise, hate, and foolishness. Please help me to be careful and to take my time before I make up my mind about people and events. May I truly seek after truth and examine all things. Guide me to the answers and guard me from lies so that I can reach the proper conclusions and live in reality.

Father, thank You for being with us and guiding us down the path of life. You know that I’m like everyone else, often motivated by desires, emotions, and other things. Please help me to be thoughtful, wise, and prayerful when I seek after something or choose to change my life. Guide me away from foolish decisions and emotional responses so that I don’t later regret what I’ve done. Show me when I’m asking for something that You know is a bad idea, keep it from me, even if I believe it’s what I need at the time.

Father, thank You for the god people that I know, live, and work with. I’m grateful for the area where I get to spend my time and the folks I get to do life with. Please help us just keep on loving one another and striving to respect and help each other when a need arises. Please keep me from joining in the madness or falling into the lies, and don’t let me feed the flames of fear, anxiety, and discord. Instead, may I simply do my part to bless and encourage others as You right the ship and correct what’s wrong.

Father, thank You for the peace and order that is possible when I follow Your path. Please help me to do my part to create the world I want to live in. Show me what I’m doing that is hindering a better future so that I can correct my ways to create better days ahead. Please let me see when I say I want something and then act in ways that prevent that from coming to pass.

Father, thank You for the hope that is within me and how it guides me into the unknown. My hope is based on Your promises and built up by Your word. Even though I see troubles all around me I believe that good things are ahead. Be it in my time on Earth or on the streets of gold, I expect it all to be worth it, and that I will rejoice in the end. That hope is what I cling to and it gives me peace like nothing else can.

Father, thank You for the examples You have given me to help me see beyond the moment. I admire so much those who are not quickly or easily offended. I can see how that helps them to be lead less by emotion and more by logic and reason. I pray that You will help me to live this way so that I can make good choices and avoid unnecessary harm. Show me also how to be more sensitive to the ideals and positions of others without having to tip-toe around reality in fear of hurting feelings. May I not be easily offended or quick to offend. Instead, I hope to be guided by love, mercy, and truth as I do life with people with whom I don’t always agree.
Father, thank You for the faithful leaders that You have established throughout history. You know how badly we need leaders right now who will show us the way and guide us through difficulty and chaos. Lord I pray that You will inspire people whom You have empowered and equipped to stand up and break away from the pack so that they can lead us to change and maturity. May I see what You have given me to do, how to do my part, when to lead and when to follow. Help me to lead well where I’m called to do so. If I cannot see a leader use me to be a leader!
Father, thank You for the grace You give me. I know that it’s a gift of immense worth. I want to cherish it without taking it for granted. Help me to also share the grace that You have given me. May I extend it to others so that they can enjoy it as well. No matter how much I give it to others, I will never run out, for You will always provide as much as I need.

Father, thank You for the truth even when it’s painful or uncomfortable. I don’t always like what I read or hear but I know it’s for my own good. Please continue to open my eyes to areas of my life that can be better and show me ways that I can improve. Most importantly, help me to be humble and wise enough to receive what I need to hear with an open heart and mind so that the truth will do its job within me. May I then adapt and adjust as needed so that I can grow and mature more and more.
