LWF - Graced by His Prayers
BIBLE MEDITATION:
“Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.” Hebrews 7:25
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Do you ever feel you are all alone when a struggle hits your life?
Tell yourself, “I am graced by His prayers.”
Jesus is watching over you, and He is praying for you. The Savior. The Shepherd. The King. The Prince. He is praying for you! Do you feel encouraged? I do!
Just to know that the One who died for me “ever liveth to make intercession” for me is enough. He lives to stand in the gap for you and for me. What a mighty God we serve! What mercy we don’t deserve! You are on Jesus’ prayer list!
You.
He knows you. And He is praying you through the eye of the storm.
ACTION POINT:
Do you have a prayer list? Go through that list today and pray for someone you haven’t prayed for in awhile and trust God to answer, even today!

LWF - They're Cheering for You
BIBLE MEDITATION:
“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.” Hebrews 12:1
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
A soft-spoken woman went to a high school football game. She’d been quiet the entire game until there was a fumble on the field. The substitute quarterback, a little scrawny kid, picked up the ball and started running past the other players toward the goal.
And this little lady exploded! She jumped up and said, “Run, baby, run! Run, baby, run!” He was her son.
That’s what the saints are saying, as they watch us on the playing field of life. They are cheering us on from the heavenly grandstand to “run with patience, the race that is set before us.”
ACTION POINT:
Do you need a lift today? Imagine a grandstand the size of heaven cheering you on to victory!

LWF - All Things May be Lawful but...
BIBLE MEDITATION:
“All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.” 1 Corinthians 6:12
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
If you want to be a victor in the race God has for you, you must learn the discipline of laying aside some weights. Many times these weights are good things in our lives. But good things are bad things when they keep us from doing the best things.
Life would be simple if it were a choice between good and bad. But typically it’s a choice between good and best.
Our verse says “all things are not expedient.” When you think of the word “expedient,” think of the word “expedition.” You are going somewhere, and if something doesn’t speed you on your way, it’s excess baggage and you need to get rid of it.
ACTION POINT:
Ask God, “Are there legitimate, lawful things in my life that are keeping me from running the race You’ve given me?” If revealed, ask for discipline to lay them aside!

LWF - Rounding Third and Heading for Home
BIBLE MEDITATION:
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.”
2 Timothy 4:7
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
When Jesus came to the end of His life, He said, “I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do” (John 17:4).
He stayed on the track, and so did Paul. They accomplished what God had set out for them to do.
Every man has a race that he must run. Every woman has a race set before her. God knows the course. And everything God commands of you, He will empower you to do. Whether you’re nine or ninety, young or old, rich or poor, God has a plan for your life! God has a race He wants you to run!
ACTION POINT:
What is the race God has set before you? If you are not certain, inquire of Him. What He asks of you, He will empower you to do. Thank God for the power to finish the course.

LWF - Thanking God for Godly Mothers
BIBLE MEDITATION:
“Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.” Exodus 20:12
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
One time I had the privilege of speaking with the 41st President of the United States, George H. W. Bush, about his salvation and personal relationship with Christ and prayed with him about that. He looked me in the eyes and said, “I want to tell you, my mother was the most godly person I have ever known.” He then went on to tell me about her influence in his life.
Abraham Lincoln said, “All that I am or ever hope to be I owe to my angel mother.” This time every year we celebrate our mothers. Oh, the power of a mother’s love!
Do you know what children need? A – B – C:
Acceptance
Belonging
Confidence
ACTION POINT:
Thank God for magnificent mothers! Thank God for the impact of godly mothers in the lives of children.

LWF - Are we taking His name in vain?
BIBLE MEDITATION:
“For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy.” Isaiah 57:15
“Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain” (Exodus 20:7).
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
We all know that profanity is one way that you can take God’s name in vain, but I’ll tell you another way, and that’s in frivolous talk. That is, just taking the name of God carelessly or lightly.
Ephesians 5:4 mentions “foolish jesting.” What does that mean? God’s name is holy. We are never, ever to use His name unless we are serious. Now if you use humor to illustrate something, that’s fine, but it’s repugnant to use the Holy name of God frivolously.
ACTION POINT:
Begin the day by meditating on the holiness of God.
