"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
- John 3:16
"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me."
- Revelation 3:20
"The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him."
- Nahum 1:7
The three verses featured today have something special in common: they are a few of the Scripture references that can be found inconspicuously printed on food and drink packaging at In-N-Out. While many of us have, no doubt, seen these and other references to scripture on any given day, how many of us have bothered to look-up the passages that we might not be familiar with?
Daily Scripture reading, whatever form it may take, is an important part of maintaining a close walk with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Being on the mailing list for these daily devotionals is a great start! The Word of God is rich with knowledge and wisdom, and we are constantly encouraged to ask, seek, and knock. (Matt. 7:7-8).
Prayer time with our Lord is also an integral part of a close and personal relationship with Him. I encourage you all to take time throughout your busy days and talk to Him as if he is sitting or standing right beside you, because He IS!! He wants to be a part of everything you do throughout the day. Pray when you wake up. Pray to Him before meals, even if you think people might look at you funny. Pray to Him with your Grace Harbor Family at 8:18pm EVERY DAY! Pray to Him before you go to sleep. In 1Thessalonians 5:17, we are commanded to "pray continually".
Finally, I leave you with Hebrews 10:23-25. It's a great summary of how we might live our Christianity out loud!
