THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
God desires unity, but Satan wants believers fighting each other
so he can be free to deceive the world. Too often followers fall
prey to his tactics. Christians can only demonstrate the reconciliation
they have with God through Christ, if they are reconciled to each other.
(Vantage Point Devotional)
SCRIPTURE:
Have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart and a humble
mind. 1 Peter 3:8
If we're constantly pointing fingers at each other, we have no hand to offer
in fellowship to unbelievers... just where Satan wants us!

September 6
Greetings:God bless you this day!
THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
People are to respect one another. Certainly there are those who
don't earn it, but regardless, the fact that they were created by God
can be respected. (Vantage Point Devotional)
SCRIPTURE:
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Ephesians 5:21
Today's thought gives me something to think about and another thought:
I didn't earn Christ's respect either; He loved me while I was still a sinner
and continues to love me when I sin!

September 5
Greetings: God bless you this day!
THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
We need to teach our children that Cinderella's problems and
challenges didn't end with the moment she slipped on the glass
slipper. We need to teach then that true adventures of life isn't
living "happily ever-after" but loving each other on matter what
may come our way. Only then will brief moments of happiness
be replaced by lasting days of joy.
(Joseph J. Mazella-Christian Voices)
SCRIPTURE:
Teaching of the wise is the fountain of life. Proverbs 13:14
We also need to teach our children that becoming a Christian does not
eliminate problems, but gives us strength, through our Lord and the
Holy Spirit, to overcome them!

Greetings: God bless you this day!
Have a safe holiday. Be sure to fly your flag today.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
My dog wakes me up each morning, sometimes earlier than I like.
Now my dog does not have to be let out he has a doggie door. He
is not hungry or thirsty. He just wants to be with me. He wants to
be loved and petted for a few minutes until I'm fully awake and he
goes back to sleep. As I wake up, I know that the Lord wants me
up too. He's been thinking about me all night. He wants my attention
and love and He gives me so much more in return.
(Daily Disciples Devotional)
SCRIPTURE:
How precious are your thoughts to me O God! Psalm 139:17
Just as your moments spent with your children are precious to you, the
moments you spend with God are precious to Him as well!

September 2
Greetings: God bless you this Lord's Day!
THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
The Lord desires to hear the deepest desires of our hearts. He is
not interested in performance designed to impress other listeners.
As you pray today, avoid wordiness and pray with earnestness
and expectation. (Vantage Point Devotional)
SCRIPTURE:
Whatever you ask in prayer believe that you have received it, and
it will be yours. Mark 11:24
I think God loves simple, heartfelt prayers. As in the story of the two
men that went to the temple roof to pray. A Pharisee prayed a long prayer,
but the other man's prayer was short: "God have mercy on me, a sinner!"
Jesus said it was this man justified by God... so keep it simple!

September 1
Greetings God bless you this day!
Can you believe it is September already!
THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Faith is meant to be active not passive. If we do not keep exercising our
faith, we get weak and can be tossed to and fro when the enemy strikes.
Get into the Word of God on a daily basis and ask God to increase your
faith. (Daily Disciples Devotional)
SCRIPTURE:
Now faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not
see. Hebrews 11:1
One of the ways to increase your faith... step out of your comfort zone and do
something that your not entirely sure of and that you have to rely on God...
I do this every day and it does increase my faith!
Know I prayed foe you today. Blessings-Freda
