Morning Verse Isaiah 41:10 KJV Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Evening Verse Luke 11:23 KJV He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathers not with me scatters. Insight How does this verse relate to Luke 9:50: “Anyone who is not against you is for you”? In the earlier passage, Jesus was talking about a person who was driving out demons in Jesus name. Those who fight evil, he was saying, are on the same side as one driving out demons in Jesus name. Here, by contrast, he was talking about the conflict between God and the devil. In this battle, if a person is not on Gods side, he or she is on Satans. There is no neutral ground. Because God has already won the battle, why be on the losing side? Challenge If you arent actively for Christ, you are against him. Mary Garrett MORNING VERSE: Exodus 15:11 KJV Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? EVENING VERSE: Psalm 71:9 KJV Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. INSIGHT: We live in an age where those who are older are often shoved aside. This is true in the professional world with employees. This is also true in churches which often find themselves pandering to those who are younger or more financially powerful, while forgetting the aging and powerless. Lets remember that God cares what happens to each one of us, no matter status or stature or age. PRAYER: Almighty God, I know that you will never leave me or forsake me. I believe the promise that nothing can separate me from your love for me in Christ Jesus. But Father, I see so many who are older and forgotten that I must admit that I am frightened that I, too, will face loneliness and feebleness in those last days. Please give me confidence to cast my anxieties on you and trust in your presence. Most of all, Father, I pray that you will be glorified in my body in life and death, in health and sickness, and in youth and age. In Jesus glorious name I pray. Amen
