SUNDAY 21 GOD IS A GOOD GOD; HE IS GOOD TO ALL—THE JUST AND THE UNJUST! “For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his
Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might
be saved.”
John 3 Vs 16-17 (KJV)

MONDAY 22 SALVATION IS NOT A REWARD FOR THE GOOD WE HAVE DONE, BUT IT’S AS A
RESULT OF GOD’S GOODNESS, HIS MERCIES AND HIS GRACE! “For it is by grace
[God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been
saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And
this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the
[undeserved, gracious] gift of God; 9 not as a result of [your] works [nor your
attempts to keep the Law], so that no one will [be able to] boast or take credit in
any way [for his salvation].”
Ephesians 2 Vs 8-9 (AMP)

TUESDAY 23 THE MERCIES OF GOD ARE GREAT AND FAR BEYOND MEASURE! “It is of the
LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 24 The LORD is my portion,
saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. 25 The LORD is good unto them that wait
for him, to the soul that seeketh him. 26 It is good that a man should both hope
and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
27 It is good for a man that he bear
the yoke in his youth. 28 He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath
borne it upon him. 29 He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be
hope. 30 He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
31 For the LORD will not cast off for ever: 32 But though he cause grief, yet will he
have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.”
Lamentations 3 Vs 22-32 (KJV)

WEDNESDAY 24 THE EARS OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER ARE INCLINED TO OUR PRAYERS—PRAY
WITH DEFINITE REQUESTS, WHEN YOU PRAY—HE HEARS! “And if we know [for a
fact, as indeed we do] that He hears and listens to us in whatever we ask, we
[also] know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted to us]
the requests which we have asked from Him. 16 If anyone sees his brother
committing a sin that does not lead to death, he will pray and ask [on the
believer’s behalf] and God will for him give life to those whose sin is not leading to
death. There is a sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for this
[kind of sin]. 17 All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death
[one can repent of it and be forgiven].” Pray on all occasions, as the spirit of God
leads you! 1 John 5 Vs 15-17 (AMP)

THURSDAY 25 TITHING AND OFFERING TO GOD ARE NOT ONLY NECESSARY BUT EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT—THEY OFFER INNUMEROUS BLESSINGS! “Bring all the tithes into
the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the
LORD of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour
out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me
to the test! 11 Your crops will be abundant, for I will guard them from insects and
disease.[a] Your grapes will not fall from the vine before they are ripe,” says the
LORD of Heaven’s Armies. 12 “Then all nations will call you blessed, for your land
will be such a delight,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.”
Malachi 3 Vs. 10-12 (NLT)

“How precious is Your loving kindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge
in the shadow of Your wings.8 They drink their fill of the [f]abundance of Your
house; and You give them to drink of the river of Your delights. 9 For with You is
the fountain of life; In Your light we see light. 10 O continue Your loving kindness to
those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.”
Psalm 36 Vs 7-10 (NASB)

SATURDAY 27 CHILDREN OF GOD ARE BLESSED AND FAVORED—NO GOOD THING THE FATHER
OF GLORY WITHHOLDS FROM THEM! “For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the
LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose
walk is blameless.”
Psalm 84 Vs 11 (NIV)
