If we speak love from the heart of God, that love is not selfish, that love is not puffed up, that love does not seek its own, and that love does no evil, but is pure and true. Tongues that speak love from the lips of men are like sounding brass and tingling cymbals which have no sweet melody.

We are all called to go out into God’s vineyard and be faithful stewards. I am in the service of the Lord, and there is so much that I could do, send me Lord, use me Lord, position me Lord, to serve today in your vineyard. I am willing, make be able Lord, in Jesus’ holy name I pray. Amen!

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding, in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Free yourselves from over-anxiety about worldly things which would distract your thoughts from the service of God, to which you have been called and hinder your growth in spiritual maturity. Get into the habit of taking everything big or small to God in prayer, and God hears those secret prayers, and God who knows the heart and the desires of those who pray in secret, God will reward openly. Praise the Lord!

Lord, we serve you because you are faithful, loving, and forgiving. Help us to be like you in every way, show us how to be humble and gentle at heart, let us learn to lean on you, to come to you, when we are burdened and heavy laden, and where we could find rest. Amen!

Before I gave my life to Christ, when I was in need, God was the last person I would think of to help me, but as I have grown in my walk with him, I know now that all I need to do is to continually trust God to give me my fruits in due season, to cast all my cares on him and wait. For my God has promised to supply all of my needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus and he is a God who cannot lie. Therefore, I will trust him with my whole heart.

Sweet is the hour of prayer, when we blend our voices and lift our praises to God’s ear, sweet is the hour of prayer, when we could just be in God’s presence to listen to His voice, sweet is the hour of prayer when our devotions are more of praises that pleas. Help us Lord, to make time for you, because you always make time for us. Amen!

My brothers and sisters in Christ, we must be fully suited up, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist the devil in the evil days, and having done everything, to stand firm. Praise the Lord!

Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Jesus asked Peter the same question two more times if he loved Him and each time Peter said yes, and Jesus’ response to him was this, “If you love me, tend my lambs and shepherd my sheep.” If we are shepherds in God’s vineyard, we should not only take care of ourselves, but a shepherd should also take care of his flock. Praise the Lord!

My brothers and sisters in Christ, God’s timing is not the same as ours, he works on his own timetable, he is not pressured by our grumblings, because he knows what is best for us. Many times we pray to God to give us a house and God will give us an apartment, because he knows that is what we are able to manage. When God blesses us great or small, give him the glory and praise, and trust him to give you those things which are good for you and in his own time. God always knows best.

My brothers and sisters in Christ, God is the potter who is able to make all things new, he is able to give us a fresh start, he is able to redirect our paths and lead us His way. Therefore, will you trust God today to have his own way in your life? Are you ready to submit to Him and let Him have absolute sway? Are you ready for Him to fill you with His kind and gentle spirit, till all around can see, Christ only always, living in you? Lord, we surrender all to you this day, have your own way! Amen!
