A CALL TO ACTION
Stop! Wait! Be Still! Think! Meditate! Respond!
So many times, it is easy to quickly read something and move on to our next activity, never truly focusing on what the Lord is trying to tell us. I encourage you to take time now to stop and evaluate. Maybe you need to reread the lesson and pull from it the nuggets of Truth that are there. Think about how it speaks to you in your situation. Is the Holy Spirit addressing an area in your life that needs attention? Since your “heart condition INSIDE of you will show itself OUTSIDE of you and affect those BESIDE you” do you need to go before Jesus in prayer, asking Him to change you, the “inside you,” to be more like Him and have a “Jesus” affect on those around you? Don’t wait – ask the Holy Spirit to work and change you now, today. Ask Him to help you to be a person of meekness. Maybe you need to let go of a rope of unforgiveness and allow the Lord to begin a new work inside of you. Don’t wait. Address it now. Let Him work. He is able!
Possibly, today, your eyes have been opened to the state of your soul. You now see yourself as nothing, sinful, lacking, and miserable, a person in need of a Savior. You do not have to stay this way! The Lord Jesus Christ knows your condition and He is waiting for you to turn to Him with a heart that confesses its sin, wanting change, and desiring to be a “new creation”. Talk to Him today in prayer. Tell Him what you have done and ask Him to forgive you and wash you clean. Jesus Christ died on the cross so many years ago thinking of you, today, at this time. He bled and died and rose again so that you, today could be forgiven, made clean and set free! Today is the right time, today is the day of Salvation! He is waiting for you. Don’t put it off, don’t delay for you will never regret a life changing decision made for Jesus. Praise His name!

Music is a beautiful gift from God! He uses it to speak to or hearts. Sometimes the Lord will instruct and comfort us with a song. Sometimes the songs we sing to Him are prayers - words telling Him what our hearts desire in Him. Always our songs should be filled with worship and praise to the Lord for He is worthy of it!
“I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high.”
Psalm 7:17
Here is a song that is a prayer to the Lord. Today make it your prayer.
I Surrender All
Judson W. Van DeVenter
All to Jesus I surrener,
All to Him I freely give;

All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live
Refrain:
I surrender all,

All to Thee, my Blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
I surrender all,

All to Thee, my Blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken,
Take me, Jesus, take me now.
Humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken,
Take me, Jesus, take me now.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me feel the Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine.
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me feel the Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Lord, I give myself to Thee,
Fill me with Thy love and power.
Let Thy blessing fall on me.
Lord, I give myself to Thee,
Fill me with Thy love and power.
Let Thy blessing fall on me.
