Thursday - 11/18
Ecclesiastes 5:2,3 (James 1:19-20)
Recall that great song by Phillips, Craig and Dean - "Let My Words Be Few". Keep this idea fresh in your soul as you approach your job, your kids, your family, your friends, your relationships.
Friday - 11/19
Proverbs 10:19, 13:3, 15:2 (James 1:19-20)
Quick verses to read - so pick one and memorize it. Use it in place of angry words that you are tempted to speak. It's like an "open book test"...you are tested in a situation, and you speak a verse instead of a curse! A+ :o)
Saturday - 11/20
(James 1:19-20)
Below are a number of verses showing us that God says to hold our anger.
Proverbs 14:17, 19
Proverbs 15:18
Proverbs 16:32
Proverbs 25:28
Ecclesiastes 7:9
Sunday - 11/21
2 Timothy 2:22-24 (James 1:21)
These are really powerfully instructing verses. Don't read ahead - just think about these verses today. How do you measure up? Do you like to argue and get angry? Do you want to do what God's Word says: Not quarrel/be kind to everyone?
Monday - 11/22
2 Timothy 2:25-26 (James 1:20)
Here's God's take on arguments: Gently instruct those who oppose you...point them toward God...pray that the other would repent...and come to their senses. But, sister - you better be sure you've got what it says in verse 22: a pure heart yourself!
Tuesday - 11/23
Psalm 139:1-4, 23-24 (James 1:21)
Want to have a pure heart check up? When conflict comes, be strong and courageous - ask the Lord to search your heart and show you if there is something in you that is offensive and needs to be changed.
Wednesday - 11/24
Ephesians 4:22-27 (James 1:21)
We have to choose to put off the old way we did things and, instead do things according to what God's Word says so we can be like God. Thanksgiving is sometimes stressful when we are around challenging family members. Memorize verse 26 - Let God help you have a great day - if you want to get angry, instead, say that verse over and over to replace the angry words!
Thursday - 11/25
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Below are some great verses - all with the word "thanksgiving" in them!
Psalm 69:30
Psalm 95:2
Psalm 100:4
Psalm 147:7
Friday - 11/26
Matthew 7:24-27 (James 1:22-25)
Be doers of The Word. Don't come to church and just hear it, go home and live it. Otherwise, when the storms of life come, you will get tossed around. You have to build your foundation when it's not raining so that you'll stand strong when the time comes.
Saturday - 11/27
Romans 2:7,8 (James 1:22-25)
Do what God's Word says - don't miss His blessings. The bottom line is that if you are not doing what God says to do, you are rejecting the truth - and you turn to things that lead to evil. It's a slippery trap. Keep your eyes on Christ and on God's Word.
Sunday - 11/28
John 8:31-36 (James 1:22-25)
Like the Jews who believed, Jesus says to us that we need to hold to His teaching - because there is liberty in following God's Word. You never have to look over your shoulder or watch your back. Your life is a beautiful open book as you live by the greatest book - The Bible. Following Jesus = Freedom
Monday - 11/29
Psalms about controlling the tongue (James 1:26)
Psalm 141:3 - This is a great memory verse
Psalm 17:3-5
Tuesday - 11/30
Proverbs about controlling the tongue (James 1:26)
Proverbs 12:13
Proverbs 21:23
Wednesday - 12/1
Matthew 25:34-46 (James 1:27)
Pure religion - being so full of love of God that you overflow into wanting to bless others.
