Glenn’s Meal 10-30-13

1 103013 God Alone

Good morning everyone. What a wonderful day we have in front of us. How will you use it to give God glory? You do realize that it’s all about Him and not about us don’t you? Let’s take a few minutes and savor this meal.

TODAY’S PRAYER

Father, You never said that life would be easy, but You did say that if we would believe in You, and commit our ways to Your way, that we could trust You, and that Your will would never take us beyond where Your grace could sustain us! Help us to realize that You loved us enough to send Your Son, both as an example and as a sacrifice for our sins. Open our eyes to see that today, when we take a stand with You and find society often quick to criticize and put us down, that it is then that we discover Your strength! Just as You told Your apostle Paul, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in [your] weakness.”* Forgive us Lord, for doubting that You care. Thank You Lord, for Your Holy Spirit’s communication line, just as Your Son promised. Help us to always keep the line open, not just in times of need, but to continually praise You and thank You for Your care and Your blessings. In Jesus’ name we pray this prayer. Amen.

Let’s eat.

UNTO HIMSELF

Reconciled unto Himself

Colossians 1:19-20

For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.

By the Cross, Set apart for Himself

Psalms 3:1-4

O LORD, I have so many enemies; so many are against me. So many are saying, “God will never rescue him!” But you, O LORD, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. I cried out to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy mountain.

By the Spirit Purified unto Himself

Titus 2:11-14

For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people. And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God, while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed. He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds.

By the Truth, Subdued unto Himself

Philippians 3:17-21

Dear brothers and sisters, pattern your lives after mine, and learn from those who follow our example. For I have told you often before, and I say it again with tears in my eyes, that there are many whose conduct shows they are really enemies of the cross of Christ. They are headed for destruction. Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and they think only about this life here on earth. But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same power with which he will bring everything under his control.

By His Power, Presented to Himself

Ephesians 5:21-27

And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church. As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything. For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word. He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“Everyone wants to change, but change demands desire and discipline before it becomes delightful. There is always the agony of choice before the promise of change.”
