Day 25
Day 25 – Friday May 18th
A – Today’s reading of the day is James Chapter 5 (New American Standard (NAS) for me.)
Focal verses today are James 5:7-8 “Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains. You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.”
B – RHEMA Strike Verse of the day: 2 Samuel 10:12 “Be strong, and let us show ourselves courageous for the sake of our people and for the cities of our God, and may the LORD do what is good in His sight.” (Courage/Purple)
C – Excerpt from “Wild at Heart” by John Eldridge:
“True strength does not come out of bravado. Until we are broken, our life will be self-centered, self-reliant; our strength will be our own. So long as you think you are really something in and of yourself, what will you need God for? I don’t trust a man who hasn’t suffered; I don’t let a man get close to me who hasn’t faced his wound. Think of the posers you know -- are they the kind of man you would call at 2:00 A.M., when life is collapsing around you?”
D – Today’s input: Are you in a hurry? Are you busy? What for? Are you busy for God? Maybe you need to slow down and take a look around you. What’s going on around you, with your family, your work, your church? Are you planting (spending your time and energy) fruitfulness? What will be the results, the harvest of everything you are doing?
E – Today’s prayer focus: That our focus and energies will be used for God’s fruitfulness and that we will use the gifts He has given us without getting caught up in ourselves, our distractions.
F – Encouragement and closing thoughts: Call someone today just to say hi. How about sending someone (like me) an email, just because.
