 Chapter 6: Lamb of God Day 4

Praying the Name:

Genesis 22:6-13 - So Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together. 7 But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the Lamb for a burnt offering?” 8 And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together. 9 Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood. 10 And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. 11 But the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” So, he said, “Here I am.” 12 And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.” 13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So, Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

Father, 

    Today I want to Praise and Thank You for Your Mercy that You give to us as we do not deserve Your mercy or love, but You give both freely to those who follow You. I ask that You stand by and hold onto us with that mercy in our hearts. Help us then to give mercy to others. 

     Thank You Father for providing the sacrifice that we need to make us whole. that You sent Your Son to pay our debt to the life You have given us when we could not pay that debt ever, but You provided for us and gave us what we needed to stand in You. 

    I ask forgiveness for all the sins that I have done, I ask that if there is any way that Beth can forgive and be friends that You take care of that. I am sorry that I need a sacrifice and to be forgiven. I am sorry that I need Your mercy and forgiveness all the time, but I thank You for forgiving me and standing me up to go again. 

    I need my eyes more open to what Jesus has done. Please not through hardship but through love show me that I have received this that Jesus has done and help me to appreciate it for what You do. 

    I thank and praise You for being willing to spend that last drop of blood on the cross to save me. For the willingness of Your love towards someone that does not deserve heaven and did nothing but cause pain all her life. I am sorry Father for all that I did and the things that I have thought through. Forgive and install in me Your love for others. 

In Jesus Name, 

    Amen 

    One boy nearly gave His life, you probably remember it, its the story of Abraham and Issac, and how the father was going to sacrifice the son, do you remember the scene on mount Moria when Abraham was gathering wood for the burnt offering? Issac turned to him and asked, 'father, yes my son, Abrham replied, the fire and the wood are here but where is the lamb for the burnt offering? 

Abraham replied 'God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering my son.'  And God did, in the last second when the father was about to plunge the knife into the son the Angel of the Lord told Abraham to lay down his knife and spare the boy. Then Abraham noticed a ram caught in the thicket and offered him in place of his son. God had provided just as Abraham said that He would. 

    God's provision extends beyond that provision, beyond that father and son, according to tradition the temple of God in Israel was built on that mountain of Moria where Abraham nearly sacrificed his son, the temple was only a short walk from where Jesus, the only Son of God was sacrificed for our sins. 

    The next time you are tempted to wallow in guilt over some sin or failing, remember that the Father has paid a high cost to redeem you. Do not make the mistake of acting as it was not enough, instead, ask God's forgiveness and then turn your thoughts to the Lamb that died to save us.

Sunday July 13, 2025 - King of Kings

 Chapter 7: King of Kings Day 1 The Name:     The world has never seen a King like Christ, a ruler mightier than any earthly sovereign and more powerful than the unseen power of the universe. Though He entered the world humbly as an infant born in Bethlehem, the magi from the east still recognized Him as the new born King. Though His reign unfolds in hidden ways He has promised to come again at which time He will reveal Himself as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.      When you pray to Jesus the King of Kings call to mind His mastery not only over human beings but over nature, desease, and death itself.  Revelation 19:16 -    And   He has on   His   robe and on His thigh a name written:  KING OF KINGS AND  LORD OF LORDS. Father,      Thank You for being our King of Kings. I pray that soon You will come back to earth in Your true life as our King. We are so ready for You to rule this earth and for those o...

 Chapter 3: Child Day 4 Praying the Name: Matthew 2:13-20 -  Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.”  When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt,  and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,  “Out of Egypt I called My Son.”  Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men.  Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying:  “A   voice was heard in Ramah,  Lamenta...

Sunday, June 29, 2025 - Physician

 Chapter 5: Physician Day 1 The Name: Jesus the greatest of all Physicians preformed more healings than any other kind of miracle. Nothing stumped Him, not blindness or craziness or lameness, deafness or even death.  Every ailment yielded to His undeniable power and every healing served as evidence that His kingdom is breaking into our fallen world.  Scripture sees sickness and death as biproducts of sin, and it was to solve the sin problem that Jesus came into this world. When you pray for healing remember that Jesus is always your allies. Always wanting what is best for you and for those that you care about.  Key Scriptures: Matthew 11:5 -  The  blind sees and  the  lame walk;  the  lepers are cleansed and  the  deaf hear;  the  dead are raised up and   the  poor have the gospel preached to them. Luke 4:23 -  He said to them,  “You will surely say this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Wh...
