The 12:30 - Heart, Mind, Soul, Strength Posted on by

Take a moment and read God’s Word this morning:

Joshua 1:5-6
No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you. “Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them.

In this situation, Moses, their leader, had died and people were unsure about their future. All they had were questions.

Think: If you and I really believe God when He says, “I will not fail you or abandon you,” how would we live differently because of that promise?

Love you guys.

Let’s start the day off right by praying this together. Pause now and remember that God is close to you:

Dear God,

Thank you for the fresh start of a new school year.
As we walk the hallways today, please quiet our worries and fill us with confidence.
Guide our minds to stay focused on our current work and future goals.
Protect our hearts from the pressure to fit in or to compromise our values.
Strengthen our character so that we stick up for each other and stand strong for You.
Protect our emotions so that we aren’t easily manipulated or misguided.
We pray for continued physical healing for any of us who are hurt, injured or in pain.
Bless our friendships – help us to be strong encouragers and to have genuine respect for those we meet today.
Give us the courage to handle every challenge and school pressure with grace.
We love you Lord and thank you for each other. Amen.

GRATEFUL

Luke 8:35-39

35 People rushed out to see what had happened. A crowd soon gathered around Jesus, and they saw the man who had been freed from the demons. He was sitting at Jesus’ feet, fully clothed and perfectly sane, and they were all afraid.

36 Then those who had seen what happened told the others how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37 And all the people in the region of the Gerasenes begged Jesus to go away and leave them alone, for a great wave of fear swept over them. So Jesus returned to the boat and left, crossing back to the other side of the lake.

38 The man who had been freed from the demons begged to go with him. But Jesus sent him home, saying,

39 “No, go back to your family, and tell them everything God has done for you.” So he went all through the town proclaiming the great things Jesus had done for him.

Romans 10:9-10

9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.

John 8:31-32

31 Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings.

32 And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
