Matthew 1:1-17
Lord, we’ve only just begun – to experience Your love and enjoy Your blessing.
We’ve started out on the journey of faith – but we haven’t reached our destination.
We’re still travelling.
We dare not stand still.
We must keep on going forward – with You and for You.
Sometimes, we can forget where we’re going – and we can forget how to get there.
Help us to keep our eyes on Jesus – He will lead us on to the glory of heaven.
Matthew 1:18-25
Lord, help us to stand upon the truth of Your Word – not to collapse under the lies of the devil.
When Your Word says, ‘This is what the Lord has done’, who are we to say, ‘Is this really what You have done?’
Talk like that doesn’t come from You, Lord.
It comes from our enemy, Your enemy – the devil.
When the devil attacks us – sowing seeds of unbelief, help us to take our stand against him.
Help us to triumph over him by the power of Your Word.
Matthew 2:1-6
Lord, give us wisdom.
How do we receive wisdom? – We receive Jesus.
He is ‘our wisdom’ (1 Corinthians 1:30).
What is the wisdom we receive from Jesus? – It is 'salvation' (2 Timothy 3:15).
Jesus is our Saviour.
Lord, give us more wisdom.
Give us more of Jesus.
Help us to get to know Him more-and-more each day.
Give to us the knowledge of Jesus, which is our salvation – knowing Him as our Saviour, knowing His power to save, His power to bring us out of our darkness and into His light.
Matthew 2:7-12
Lord, help us to worship You – not just to make big promises – ‘We will worship You’, and then forget all about these big promises!
Worship is about putting You first.
It’s about keeping You at the centre of our life.
It’s about more than ‘going to church’ – more than ‘an hour on a Sunday.’
It’s about giving ourselves to You.
It’s about living for You – our whole life becoming a song of praise to You.
Lord, help us to worship You.
Matthew 2:13-23
Lord, we thank You for Jesus – risen from the dead, and living in us!
We remember Jesus’ resurrection – and we give thanks with great joy.
We think of Jesus, living in us – and we’re learning to live each day in His power.
Through Your power, Jesus came from death to life.
Through His risen power, we leave behind what we once where and we become what You call us to be.
Matthew 3:1-12
Lord, You are more important than we are.
We serve You.
You save us.
We preach – but we cannot save!
It’s only You who can save.
May we never forget that, without You, we are nothing and we can do nothing – nothing of any lasting value, nothing that will really count for eternity.
If we are to achieve anything in Your service, it will only be when You are working in us and through us.
Matthew 3:13-17
Lord, we thank You for your perfect plan of salvation.
We thank You for the perfect obedience Jesus offered to You.
We thank You for the perfect sacrifice Jesus made for us.
Perfect – That’s the last word we would use to describe ourselves.
We’re anything but perfect.
We’re very far from being perfect.
We thank You, lord, that You’re so very different from us: You’re the perfect God, Your Son is the perfect Saviour and Your salvation is the perfect salvation.
Matthew 4:1-11
Lord, when we are tempted, help us to remember Jesus.
He was tempted – but He was not defeated.
He was not defeated – He was victorious.
How did Jesus win the victory?
How can we win the victory?
Jesus took His stand upon Your Word.
This is the way Jesus went.
This is the way we must go.
It’s the way of Your Word.
It’s the way of victory.
Thank You, Lord, for Jesus.
In Him, we have the victory.
Matthew 4:12-17
Lord, help us not to lower our guard.
There are times when it seems like Satan is leaving us alone.
Soon, it will change – He’ll be back again, and he’ll be more determined than ever.
When Satan seems to be such a determined enemy, help us to remind him that he’s also a defeated enemy.
When Satan comes to us, help us to be ready for him.
Help us to face him in the all-victorious name and the all-conquering power of Jesus.
Matthew 4:18-25
Lord, we thank You for Jesus, our Team Leader.
Before the call to leadership, there’s the call to be lead by the greatest Team Leader of all – Jesus.
Jesus calls us to follow Him – to walk in His footsteps.
It’s not about saying, “Jesus is our Team leader”, and then doing our own thing.
It’s about following Him.
It’s about praying, ‘Your will be done.’
Lord, help us to follow Jesus.
Help us to look at how He lived - and to become more like Him.
Matthew 5:1-2
Lord, give us Your strength.
Help us not only to be strong in ourselves.
Help us to be strong for others.
Give to us teaching from Your Word – and help us not to keep it to ourselves.
May Your Word give us strength – the strength that we need to pass Your Word on to others.
Matthew 5:3-12
Lord, help us to live for You.
Help us to become more like Jesus.
We look at Jesus – and we see that He is so far ahead of us on the pathway of holiness.
We look at Him – and we see how much He loves us.
We see how much He is committed to leading us to walk more closely with You on the pathway of holiness.
Matthew 5:13-16
Lord, help us to bring Your light into our dark world.
How are we to do this?
We begin by letting Your light shine upon ourselves.
