Just Like The One

Good morning, Lord

Verse of the Day:    Psalm 23:1-3

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.

Memory verse: Romans 8:32 ►He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?  

Today's reading: JOSHUA 1-3 MARK 16

Just Like The One

We must be thankful for what the Holy Spirit does around us while we keep seeking Him. We must depend on the Lord to accomplish, give Him the glory, and be thankful-even to the point of throwing ourselves at the Master's feet? Yes, throwing ourselves at the Master's feet is the place to start-but-it is where we should live with reference to our own egos. The Lord's place is always above us. There is no time when our ego should raise us above the level of being at Jesus' feet-no time-no accomplishment-nothing can be any higher than the feet of our Lord.

15 "One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him."(Luke 17)

It is hard for some to imagine such a thing-but nine of the ten lepers in Luke 17 walked away that day- what will you do right this minute?

We have all been made clean by the will of our almighty God through the blood of Jesus Christ. We have all been made whole-just like that one leper.

No matter where we are in our spiritual growth, we will never outgrow this:

"Be joyful always, pray without ceasing, and in everything give thanks".(1 Thessalonians 5:16&17)

We will never outgrow the need to be at the feet of Jesus. Jesus does not have to ask where we are-He knows. Is He pleased with your position in relation to His feet?

...because He loves us...

Father in Heaven,

Forgive me for not being thankful-for not being where you want me to be.

Keep in my heart an attitude of thanks and humility always. Make humility my comfort zone so I may always be comfortable at Your feet.

Great God of peace and humility.

Because of Christ Jesus we pray,

Amen
