The Master Carpenter

When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. “Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.—Mark 6:2–3 NIV
Jesus skillfully constructs our lives. Our experiences sand away the rough edges and smooth out our character. He invests His time, love and tender care in completing each and every one of us.
Lord Jesus, You are the Master Carpenter shaping us into works of art.

Conquer Your Giants

Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the Lord spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the Lord will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the Lord said.—Joshua 14:12 NKJV

Do you ever feel as if you are standing at the foot of a mountain wondering if you can conquer your giants? Fear can convince you to back down and surrender before you even try. With Jesus’ help you can stand your ground and tackle anything!

Lord Jesus, no matter what I think are my limitations, with Your help I can be victorious!

Rooted in Jesus

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.—Colossians 2:6–7 NIV

Jesus wants us to grow spiritually strong and develop deep and strong roots by studying His Word and following His guidance. The more time we devote to our relationship with God, the stronger we grow.

Heavenly Father, I praise You for planting me firmly as I grow in faith.

Share Your Problems

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.—James 5:16 NIV
There is a reason that God asks us to confess our sins to one another. It’s not to shame us but rather to share our burdens. When we are honest about our trials and troubles with others, we help one another heal.
Lord, thank You for helping me see that sharing my problems helps me to trust and heal.

Are You on the Right Road?

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.—Matthew 7:13–14 NIV

Jesus spoke of two roads; the hard to find, narrow gate that leads to eternal life and the popular, wide gate that leads to destruction. Are you on the right road? The journey is not always easy on the less popular route, but the trip is filled with meaning and the view is heavenly!

Lord, I am so thankful to be on this journey with You.

The Answer to All Your Prayers

Then when you call, the Lord will answer. ‘Yes, I am here,’ he will quickly reply.—Isaiah 58:9 NLT

Lord God, You presence answers all my prayers.

This Blessed Moment

Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?” For it is not wise to ask such questions.—Ecclesiastes 7:10 NIV

God Is Well

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.—Ephesians 6:13 NIV

The Source of Courage

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.—Isaiah 40:28-29 NIV

There will be times when you need courage to keep you going when the going is hard. Tap into the Source of courage by feeling God’s presence. Hear Him say, “I am with you always.”
