Matthew 6:19-21 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Today’s Scripture: Philippians 1:3 (NLT): Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God.

Today’s Thought: In the opening few verses in Paul’s letter to the people of Philippi Paul lets them know how grateful to God He is for them. Paul had a grateful heart. We must also have a grateful heart.

Today’s Prayer: Lord, I thank You for dying for me! I ask that You would always help me to have a grateful heart. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen!

Psalm 18:16-20

He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
he drew me out of deep waters.
He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support.
He brought me out into a spacious place;
he rescued me because he delighted in me.

The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness;
according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.

Today’s Scripture: Philippians 1:12 (NLT): And I want you to know, dear brothers and sisters, that everything that has happened to me here has helped to spread the Good News.

Today’s Thought: Everything you go through is “Father-filtered.” Your trials often turn into testimonies – if you allow them to. Put your trust in God & know that no matter what the devil throws at you – God will turn it around for your good!

Today’s Prayer: Lord, I put my trust in You – no matter what. I thank You that You work everything out for my good. Help me to fully put my trust in You. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen!

Today’s Thought: It is important to remember that we are in this together as Christians. We should be praying for our brothers & sisters.

Today’s Prayer: Lord, I ask that You would use me to encourage someone else today in their time of need. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen!
