Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Romans 6:1-18 ~ The absolute truth = we are slaves to that which we offer ourselves (16). Freedom = believing in Jesus and following His teachings.
This passage reminds me of Galatians 2:20 - "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

Tuesday, March 13th - John 8:31-47
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: John 8:31-47 ~ Jesus says that truth will set you free...free from sin and the strangling hold it has over you. Who's your Daddy? God or Satan?
John 8:36 - "If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."
John 8:36 - "If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."

Monday, March 12th - Psalm 119:105-112
Good Morning!
I am tired this morning. Maybe it's because of such a busy and fun weekend, but I am not looking forward to going to work. I would like to just stay home and vegg, but.....
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Psalm 119:105-112 ~ We can put ourselves on paths that don't lead to peace (107 & 109). God's absolute truth will direct us on a right path (105).
I memorized verse 105 when I was in church camp. It is a verse that I recall often and remember because I believe it and focus on it. God's Word is our guide and It does direct us through every step of life.
Verses 107 through 109 ask for renewal through God's Word, acceptance of our praise and teaching from His Word, and finally, not to forget His Word. It is our guide! Verse 111 indicates that God's Word is the joy of David's heart. May it be mine too!
May we walk the right path!
Have a great day!

Sunday, March 11th - 1 Corinthians 13
Good Morning!
Are ya tired? I don't know about y'all, but this DST is tough! I love the fact that it stays light longer in the afternoon and evening, but I don't like going to work in the dark! I wonder how many will be late for church today! :o) I hope everyone remembered to "spring" forward!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: 1 Corinthians 13 ~ Love and truth absolutely go together (6). Pray that God would increase your ability to love like Him as it's modeled in the Bible.
Have you read 1 Corinthians 13? Did you know this is called the "Love" chapter of the Bible?
Look how it starts: "And now I will show you the most excellent way." In the first three verses we read that if we do all good things, but don't have love - they are worthless and we are nothing. Love is the foundation, the base, the deciding factor. It is the most excellent way!
In verses four through eight, we find the definition of LOVE. This is a very popular passage and I want you to read it slowly and think about each word. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." (1 Corinthians 13:4-8a)
Verse 13 closes the chapter as it began, "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
Father God, help me to love like You. Help me to embrace and understand the love that You model and have described in Your Word. Let me have and show the love that is spoken of here. Help me to grow in this love! I love You with all that I am! In Jesus Name, Amen.
Have a great Lord's Day! Hope to see you at church!

Saturday, March 10th - Psalm 19
Good Evening!
I apologize for being late today with this post, but I was in Chicago with the kids last night and came back to Bloomington/Normal this afternoon. We had a great time while away and, as always, we were glad to get back home. :o) Don't forget to change your clocks tonight and "spring" forward! Yeah, we lose an hour sleep!! Ugh!
Lisa's Tweet: LMRMinistries: Psalm 19 ~God absolutely shows majesty in His creation (1-6). He gives us guidelines for right living (7-10). He has the answers for life (11-13).
I absolutely love the imagery in this passage of Scripture. It is so "alive" and brilliant. Can you see? It is as if the picture jumps from the page into my mind and I can see the whole thing! Wow! It is awesome.
Look at the descriptive words used to describe the laws and commands of God: perfect, reviving, trustworthy, right, radiant, pure, enduring, sure, righteous, more precious than gold and sweeter than honey.
I love verse 14 and make that my prayer: "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer."
Amen!

Friday, March 9th - Psalm 119:145-152
Good Morning!
What a beautiful sunrise! God is good ALL the time - All the time God IS good! It is going to be a beautiful day and the start to a wonderful weekend! Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Psalm 119:145-152 ~ To absolutely live with hope and know God will preserve your life (147, 149), meditate on His Truth found in the Bible.
Seek His Face each and every day and He will guide you throughout every minute! That is a promise we have from God and He always delivers and keeps His promises. The psalmist here in this passage is crying out to God and asking for God's help. Verse 147 says he rises up before dawn and cries for help; he has put his hope in God's Word - The Truth.
The psalmist meditates on God's Word. He studies it! Verse 151 - all Your commands are true.
We need to have that daily time with the Lord, our God! It is essential to our lives! We need to meditate, study and understand His Word so that we live a life that honors and glorifies Him!
I have to admit, it is hard for me to understand how people make it in today's world without Jesus - without God - without a strong faith and hope in eternal life.
Let's live for Him today!
Have a great Friday!

Thursday, March 8th - Psalm 119:137-144
Good Morning!
I am loving this weather. The smell of the rain this morning was awesome! The warmer temperatures are great. This has been one of my favorite winters. :o)
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Psalm 119:137-144 ~ God is absolutely trustworthy - He never changes. As you follow Biblical principles, you understand how to live with power.
The psalmist cries to the Lord and explains his dependence on Him. He is righteous and His laws are right. He is trustworthy! His righteousness is everlasting and never changes! His law is true! The psalmist in verse 144 asks for understanding that he might live. We should have that same request today!
Father God, I come to You this morning and ask for understanding of Your Word - The Truth - that I might live. Father, may others see You living in me as I walk through my day and my life! Help me not to miss opportunities to share Your Good News and to spread Your joy through my words and actions! I love You Lord!
Have a blessed day!
