If you are a Believer and Are Saved, Jesus says this about YOU!
-Signed, SEALED, Delivered!
-Bible Meditation-
"...ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise." Ephesians 1:13
-DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
The moment you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit of God seals you into Himself.
What does it mean to be "sealed"? It means the King's seal has been placed on you. The King's seal can be broken by no man. That means you are His for all time and eternity.
Second Timothy 2:19 says, "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His." You are sealed into a relationship with God by the Holy Spirit.
-ACTION POINT:
Read Daniel 6 and Matthew 27. Note the similarities in the accounts of Daniel and Jesus being sealed away for death--and how the Almighty God delivered them unto life!
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]

God's greatest gift to you is Jesus. His second greatest gift is time. Every second we have life is a gift from God.
Has it ever occurred to you that for you to cease living, God would not have to take your life? All God would have to do is stop giving you life.
Your time is in His hands. You are a steward of the time He has given you. We have 86,000 seconds in the day no more, no less. The difference is stewardship.
-ACTION POINT:
Today is check-up day. How are you redeeming your 86,000 seconds each day to the glory of God? Are you lagging behind God or running ahead of Him?

-BIBLE MEDITATION: "Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward." Job 5:7
-DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: It starts almost the day we're born. We're born crying, and from there it just goes on and on. We have burdens. If you don't have burdens, the problem is you're probably not a thinking person. But I want to tell you today what to do with your burdens.
David wrote, "Cast thy burden upon the Lord and He shall sustain thee; He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." David was a king; he was wealthy. What do we learn from this? That burdens come to the high as well as to the low. They come to saints as well as sinners. They come to the old as well as the young. What do we do with our burdens? We have to cast them upon the Lord,
-ACTION POINT: -Do you have a broken heart? Has one of your children ripped your heart out? Is there a husband who has forsaken you? A physical malady gnawing away at your body? Is there a problem perplexing you? The Bible says you are to cast your burden upon the Lord (Psalm 55:22). He will sustain you. --Adrian Rogers

-"Where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD." --(Psalm 121:1-2)--
--WHAT DETERMINES our direction in life? I once heard an answer to that question in a surprising place: a motorcycle training course. Some friends and I wanted to ride, so we took a class to learn how. Part of our training dealt with something called target fixation.
"Eventually," our instructor said, "you're going to face an unexpected obstacle. If you stare at it--if you target fixate--you'll steer right into it. But if you look above and past it to where you need to go, you can usually avoid it." Then he added, "Where you're looking is the direction you're going to go."
That simple-but-profound principle applies to our spiritual lives too. When we "target fixate"--focusing on our problems or struggles--we almost automatically orient our lives around them.
However, Scripture encourages us to look past our problems to the One who can help us with them. In Psalm 121:1, we read, "I lift up my eyes to the mountains--where does my help come from?" The Psalm then answers: "My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth...The LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore" (VV.2,8).
Sometimes our obstacles can seem insurmountable. But God invites us to look to Him to help us see beyond our troubles instead of letting them dominate our perspective.~~
--OUR HELP IS IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, THE MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH.~~ JESUS IS ALWAYS BY OUR SIDE!
