As I got up this morning to pray, I felt God leading me to this scripture. I have been rereading Genesis and all of my Daily H.O.P.E.'s have come from there, but God wanted to speak to someone today. There are so many today that are sick in their bodies, heartbroken, or even emotionally scarred. Jesus wants to heal you today. I begin to study every word from Isaiah 53:5 and I was so amazed at what Christ has done for each and every one of us. I came to an understanding that Jesus was correcting what sin had done to our lives. It had separated us from Him. He was righting our wrong. We don't deserve His redemption, yet He did it anyway. What a mighty savior indeed!

Today He wants to give you true peace! Peace from rejection. Peace from failure. Peace from everything that you might encounter in the here and now. He is our healer! No one else has the power to do what He did on the cross. So receive your healing today and walk with the living, eternal savior and Lord of all, Jesus Christ. Be healed in Jesus!

God is our maker! The keeper of our very souls. In today's world, this statement is not very popular. We live in a very different time. Many have turned from God and His Word. I pray for our hearts to return to God as He spoke to Israel so many times in scripture. God hasn't changed, society has. Our lifeblood is still required by Him. There is killing, abuse, and other evils all around us. Could it be that we need a revival? This can't take place without God, our Maker. We must return to Him who is the author of life. We can't make it without Him! We need not worry; He will destroy evil. Let us be found in His will!

So often we desire for our family members to make the right choices and walk with God. However, this scripture made me look at things a little different. Could it be that God is waiting on our obedience so that He can move miraculously in the lives of our family members? There may be some that may not be willing to obey or even believe in God, but God can move on hearts and deliver as we get in place, walk in relationship with Him, and seek His face on their behalf.

All too often, we see individuals that want to look like this person or have a shape like that person. We hardly ever see individuals that are content with who they are. Contrary to popular demand, we were created in God's image. This makes us beautiful just as we are! Outside of God, there is no image at all. Yes the world tries to delete God from our daily lives. This is done because the world understands that to be made in God's image means to submit the life that God gave to Him.

When we think of prayer, I don't really think we understand how truly important it is. Before we can pray, we have to first believe or the prayers are in vain. Before God brought Lot out, Abraham was in His presence interceding on behalf of those that were righteous in the city. His family member, Lot, was one of the individuals in that city. Although God still had to destroy the city after Abraham's prayer, He brought Lot and his daughters out.

Our relationship with God is so vital! God saves us and desires to save others through us. We must walk in true relationship with God and pray continuously for the souls of others that don't know Him.

When we read about Abraham, we may be thinking, "Why did God have to change his name?" Well at least I thought that. If we really stop and think about our own lives, we would love to erase some of the choices we have made or some of the horrible things that may have happened to us. When we come to Christ and allow Him to restore us, we are no longer who we used to be. Our name changes from sinner to saint. It is nothing that we have done, but God wants us to look ahead to where He is taking us in Christ. We can't hold on to our past and look to our future at the same time.

It is finished! It is already done! He is the only way to the Father! He knows our end from the beginning. He is Creator, He is Lord, and He is God! Allow Him to restore your soul today. What a Good Friday it is!

In today's focus, the word perfect is addressed again. This time God is instructing Abram to walk before Him and be perfect. God had a great purpose Abram and it couldn't be fulfilled outside of his obedience. The whole human race depended on his obedience. He had to be able to hear God's instructions, and his life had to exemplify that which God desired. Christ makes us perfect before the Father. Let us surrender to Him. By His power and might, let us walk perfect as He is perfect.

What exactly is grace? According to the Strong's Bible Dictionary, grace means acceptance and favor. We too need God's grace. God's grace is free and we are undeserving of it. The word perfect doesn't mean that Noah didn't do anything wrong. It means integrity, moral, sincerely, and whole.  So Noah received God's grace because He chose to obey Him instead of walking in His own way. I'm sure that it wasn't easy.  He didn't have the power to do this on His own. It was God's power that kept Him. He wants to do the same for us.

What are some areas in your life where you need to trust God more? As Abraham, we must trust and have faith in God. He is the true God. No matter what His instructions are, or where He leads us, He has a plan for our lives. We may not understand everything but we have to know in our hearts that He holds our tomorrow. His plan is better than ours.
