February 26, 2012

By reading the scripture above each day you will read the Old Testament through in one year and the New Testament through twice in a year. This will change your life. Start Today!

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE   
"I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." (John 10:10).

TODAY'S WORD
   
, when you are not enjoying abundant life, you will feel as if life is full of toil. In your heart, life is meaningless and empty. You feel like someone "grasping for the wind". (Ecclesiastes 2:11)

It seems as if nothing you do adds up to much. The Bible calls this life "under the sun". (Ecclesiastes 2:11) This person finds life depressing and unfulfilled. To be honest, we've all had our moment under the sun. Life under the sun is full of despair.

But this is not so with someone who lives life above the sun with God. For life with Him is filled with joy and pleasures at His right hand. (Psalm 16:11) Life is abundantly full and good just as Jesus promised - "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly".

When you live life above the sun, your thoughts are heavenward and you become Christ-occupied. You live for Him because you know that all things were created through Him and for Him. (Colossians 1:16) When you live for His glory, your life takes on a new meaning and purpose.

God's Word says, "And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist." (Colossians 1:17) The Greek word for "consist" means "held together". In Christ, all things are held together. And that is why when Christ is the central figure in your life, you will have it all together. Your mind will be held together. Your hopes and dreams will be held together..

A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY   

Father God, today I choose to live above the sun. I set my mind on things above. By your grace help me to move out from under the thinking I've been in and to move toward your thoughts for me. In Jesus Name Amen.

, we sure love and believe in you.
