10/10/10 - Sunday Isn't it great that a once in a century happening is happening on the Lord's Day? Did you see the date? 10/10/10 Wow! Awesome! (Sorry, I get excited about little things like this!?)
Romans 8:35-39
I cannot be separated from the love of God
He does not put up any barriers between Him and us...we conjure up the barriers with our sin -- our refusal to turn from it. God is always there ready to love you.

10/11 - Monday
2 Corinthians 1:21-22
I have been established, annoited and sealed by God
Being a daughter of God should not be an afterthought. You have been sealed - bought at a very dear price...and have been given the Holy Spirit to live in you! Your inheritance -- what is to come -- is your continued walk with Christ for eternity...which began the moment you accepted Christ.

10/12 - Tuesday
Colossians 3:3
I am hidden with Christ in God
When you accepted Jesus as your Savior, you died...to your old ways of doing things. This is not something you grow into -- you need to truly understand that the old you IS dead...do not listen to the lies that say you will never change. Tap into your identity...you already died -- now enjoy your new life!

10/13 - Wednesday
Philippians 1:6
I am confident that the good work God has begun in me will be perfected
There are two truths here: 1 - God has something going on in your life. 2 - What He has started in you is destined to happen...because HE started it! Have you asked God what is the "good work" that He has for you?

10/14 - Thursday
Philippians 3:20
I am a citizen of heaven
Where is your focus? If the things of this world freak you out, you are living as though you are a citizen of this world. Christians are eternal, heavenly people. The things of this world become less intimidating when you truly understand that you are a citizen of heaven.

10/15 - Friday
2 Timothy 1:7
I have not been given a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind
The only thing we should fear is God...in an attitude of reverence and awe. Nothing else is worthy of us fearing. God gives us love, power to handle things and a sound mind to work through them.

10/16 - Saturday
Hebrews 4:16
I can find grace and mercy in time of need
God gives you what you need...even when you might not think you deserve it...that's grace. It is yours because the Bible says so. It is His to decide when He will show you His grace -- but we know He is a gracious God.

10/17 - Sunday
1 John 5:18-20
I am born of God and the evil one cannot touch me
The name of Jesus is more powerful that any evil in the world. You are God's child -- and you can rebuke evil in Jesus' name. Talk about security!

10/18 - Monday
Proverbs 29:25
I find my security in the Lord -- not any man
People have agendas, and when we don't fit them, they can withdraw their love, attention, and support. They will look for people who will let them be lord over them. Jesus is all we need...by fully trusting Him, we can trust that He will keep us safe.

10/19 - Tuesday
Romans 5:3-5
I am secure enough in my trust in God that I can persevere through difficult times
"Running away from difficult situations is not where our hope lies. God's plan is that we 'hang in there' and grow up. Our hope lies in proven character, not in favorable circumstances." (Anderson)

10/20 - Wednesday
Romans 6:8-14
I am secure in knowing that I am dead to sin through the blood of Jesus.
"It is important to realize that we do not make ourselves dead to sin by considering it so; we consider it so because it is so." (Anderson)

See you tonight at GEMS!!
