MONDAY:  For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it, but whoever loses his life for My (Christ) sake, he is the one who will save it. - Luke 9:24
The only safe place to be today is in His will!

TUESDAY:  But I know, that even now, what so ever you ask of God, God will give it to you. - John 11:22
God has the power to raise you up again. You may have been married and divorced; be struggling with habits; be living in a prison or a penthouse; be black or white, gay or straight; it doesn't matter. All you have to do is open your heart to Jesus today.

WEDNESDAY:  I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection. - John 11:24
you need to know your rights, your privileges and your authority in Christ - right now. When you do, your life will change radically.

THURSDAY:  And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. - Hebrews 10:24
All around you today are people with genuine needs, who feel unloved and unwanted. Share with them what you've got, both materially and spiritually.

FRIDAY:  Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly (fleshly) nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed which is idolatry. - Colossians 3:5
If you want to be used by God, 'the flesh' must go and you must 'die.'That's not a popular message; we'd rather focus on the benefits and the blessings of serving the Lord. But there's a price to be paid.

SATURDAY:  Any of you who does not give up everything...cannot be My (Christ's) disciple. - Luke 14:33
What a price tag! Are you truly His disciple?

SUNDAY: Everything happening to me (Apostle Paul) in this jail only serves to make Christ more accurately known, regardless of whether I live or die. They didn't shut me up; they gave me a pulpit! Alive, I'm Christ's messenger; dead, I'm His bounty. Life versus even more life! I can't lose. - Phillipians 1:20
That was Paul's attitude towards life - what's yours? Perhaps it's time to go back to the cross.
