God's Promise For Setting An Example


 

So if I'm your teacher and Lord and have just washed your dirty feet, then you should follow the example that I've  set for you and wash one another's dirty feet.  Now do for each other what I have just done for you.
John 13:14-15 (TPT)

Be imitators of God in everything you do, for then you will represent your father as his beloved sons and daughters.  And continue to walk surrendered to the extravagant love of Christ, for he surrendered his life as a sacrifice for us.  His great love for us was pleasing to God, like an aroma of adoration - a sweet healing fragrance.  
Ephesians 5:1-2 (TPT)

 
Heavenly Father thank you for your guidance.  Forgive me for the times that I do not follow your plans and go my own way.  Thank you for gently leading me back to the example you have given me through your son Jesus.  I need your Holy Spirit, strength, wisdom and direction.
Amen

God's Promise of Companionship

 

Don't be obsessed with money but live content with what you have, for you always have God's presence.  For hasn't he promised you, "I will never leave you alone, never!  And I will not loosen my grip on your life!"
Hebrews 13:5 (TPT)

Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed, says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
Isaiah 54:10 (NIV)

Whatever difficulties and problems you face in life be confident and sure of Him being your companion.  This results in comfort, compassion, calm and His perfect peace.  Our earthly friends may fail us or forsake us, but God will walk with us every step of the way and never leave us alone.
