The Every Day with Jesus
.
Luke 5
17 One day He (Jesus) was teaching, and there were some Pharisees and teachers of the Law (scribes) sitting there who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present for Him (Jesus) to perform healing.
"Wow, he is a great teacher" said the man with a torn shirt. “Do you think He will heal anyone?” said the women next him. A frantic man said “we are looking for a place for our friend. Is there room in the front.” Another said, “we want him at the feet of the teacher.” “Look” said a gentleman on the roof.
18 And some men were carrying a man on a stretcher who was paralyzed; and they were trying to bring him in and to set him down in front of Him. 19 But when they did not find any way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiles with his stretcher, into the middle of the crowd, in front of Jesus. ?”

What did people in the crowd want the most?
Luke 5 con't
20 And seeing their faith, He said, Friend, your sins are forgiven you.” 21 The scribes and the Pharisees began thinking of the implications, saying, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, except God alone?” 22 But Jesus, aware of their thoughts, responded and said to them, “Why are you thinking this way in your hearts? ?”
23 Which is easier, to say: Your sins are forgiven you, or to say, Get up and walk’? 24 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” He said to the man who was paralyzed, “I say to you, get up, and pick up your stretcher, and go home.” 25 And immediately he got up before them, and picked up what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God. 26 And they were all struck with astonishment and began glorifying God. They were also filled with fear, saying, “We have seen remarkable things today!”
I strive to be more like Jesus. What does that look like? It mirrors his qualities and attitudes.
Lamentations 3:22-23
22 The Lord’s acts of mercy indeed do not end,
For His compassions do not fail.
23 They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, and his mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness (Faithfulness is the quality of being steadfast, loyal, and true to one’s promises, duties, or original form).
No matter what happened yesterday, you can rest in the peace of God. His mercies never end. With Him you have an unending supply of grace waiting for you every day. His compassion is refreshing in this day and tomorrow and running into God’s arms is having life again.

Isaiah 54:5-8
For your husband is your Maker,
Whose name is the Lord of armies;
And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel,
Who is called the God of all the earth.
6 For the Lord has called you,
Like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Even like a wife of one’s youth when she is rejected,”
Says your God.
7 For a brief moment I abandoned you,
But with great compassion I will gather you.
8 In an outburst of anger
I hid My face from you for a moment,
But with everlasting favor I will have compassion on you,”
Says the Lord your Redeemer.

The Sandlot movie is one of my favorites and happens in the summertime when kids play outside. A group of boys’ love to play baseball and they find an empty lot in their neighborhood. All the boys have a talent for the game. They wear out baseballs and save their allowance to buy new baseballs. One day they were out of baseballs so one of the boys went home and took his stepdads signed baseball. A Hank Aaron signature. He didn’t know who he was, so he took it to the baseball game. What they didn’t realize was they were good at hitting the baseball over the neighbor’s yard with a mean dog. So, the baseball flew over the fence. Boy, they were in a panic to get that ball.
A fun movie. Stream on Amazon Prime.

Prayer is so important. According to the Bible, a prayer must be sincere and be like a discussion with God. Scriptures teach believers to pray directly to God. I like praying to the Father for it’s more personal to me. I also pray in the name of Jesus.
Begin with gratitude to the great I AM. I like to acknowledge God's holiness and goodness. I remind myself that I need Him everyday in my life. I trust in Him.
Psalm28:6-8
6 Praise be to the Lord,
for he has heard my cry for mercy.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people,
a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.
