SUNDAY 8 THE GOODNESS OF GOD IS REVEALED IN HIS SON, JESUS, WHOM HE HAS SENT
FOR THE WHOLE WORLD! “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.”

MONDAY 9
“SALVATION IS NOT A REWARD FOR THE GOOD WE HAVE DONE, BUT IT’S AS A
RESULT OF GOD’S 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].”

TUESDAY 10 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. 28He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him. 29He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be
hope. 30He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with
reproach. 31 For the LORD will not cast off for ever: 32But though he cause grief,
yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.”

Lamentations3 Vs 22-32 (KJV)
WEDNESDAY 11 THE EARS OR OUR HEAVENLY FATHER ARE INCLINED TO OUR PRAYERS— WHEN
YOU PRAY MAKE DEFINITE REQUESTS—HE HEARS OUR CRIES! “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]. 17All 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!

THURSDAY 12 TITHING AND OFFERING IS AN ABSOLUTE NECESSSITY: OUR HEAVENLY FATHER
WILL SEND BLESSINGS OUR WAY WHEN WE STAY TRUE TO HIS COMMANDS!
“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.”

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. 10O continue Your lovingkindness to
those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.”
