[11/26, 11:44 PM] MY TESTIMONY: If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.
2 Corinthians 11:30
INSPIRATION
Paul had much to boast about compared to other men, but he knew that he was nothing and would be foolish to boast. But when God used him in spite of his weaknesses and faults, that was a clear call to boast, not in himself, but in God who had worked so powerfully through him, and in spite of him rather than because of him.
LET'S PRAY
O God, I have nothing worth boasting about, nothing that can earn merit before You, nothing that can contribute to my own salvation. I am Your workmanship, created unto good works but not created by good works. I renounce all boasting and exalting of self. You must increase, Lord, but I must decrease, in my own estimation.
[11/26, 11:59 PM] MY TESTIMONY: Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
Gal 1:3-4
INSPIRATION
Do you live like you believe God’s promises? When you meet someone new, are they able to tell your faith is strong? In just the opening of the letter, Paul declares his belief in God the Father and his son, Jesus’ death on the cross and resurrection, our deliverance, and the will of God. What changes do you need to make in your life to live so your faith is clear as soon as people meet you?
Let's PRAY
Dear God, give me faith like Paul’s. Help me to live completely for you. May my faith be evident by all who meet me and speak with me. Send me a mentor to help me grow more mature in my faith. O Lord, give me the faith to believe all your promises are true. Thank you for giving us the apostles and your word to guide us. In Jesus’ name, amen.
[11/28, 7:45 PM] MY TESTIMONY: The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
Luke 12:23
INSPIRATION
We may worry about what we will eat, but God has given us life, and we fail to thank him for it. We may worry about what we will wear, but God has given us a healthy body, and we do not think to thank him for it. We should not overlook the good gifts God has given us for the lack of some other necessity, which the Lord will provide in his time and way.

[11/29, 11:10 PM] MY TESTIMONY: Night
When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
John 8:10-11
INSPIRATION
It is not whether or not others condemn us, but whether God condemns us that counts. He who does not believe in Jesus is "condemned already" (John 3:18), but there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). The crowd dropped their stones and withdrew, seeing they were sinners themselves. But Jesus, who was without sin, let the woman go out of pure mercy.
LET'S PRAY
Help us, O Lord, to remember that not to us but to you men must answer for their actions and attitudes. We are not the judges, but you are the Just Judge of all men. Our judgment fell on Christ, your justice being satisfied in his sacrifice. We pray for those who do not know you that they may turn to you before it is too late to escape your judgment.
[11/30, 7:38 PM] MY TESTIMONY: Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 8:30-31
INSPIRATION
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Let's PRAY
I want to be set free. I want to actively seek the truth. I want to live a life that helps others see truth through me, my merciful and loving God. This is the freedom that I choose. There is no other way for me. Thanks be to You and Your son, Jesus Christ, and it is in his name that I pray. Amen.
