The Reflection of Your Heart

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at.”—1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV)

Today, put as much attention on your thoughts and feelings as you do on your outward appearance. As you get ready for your day, check your attitude. Focus on being authentic and kind. Pray for God’s help to develop a beautiful heart that loves and gives generously.

Heavenly Father, help me reflect Your patience and kindness in my relationships. Help me bring the light of Your love to the lives of those around me.

Reframe Your Perspective

You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.—Romans 2:1 (NIV)

Take this verse to heart and make an effort to stop judging others. If you find yourself thinking unkind thoughts, reframe your perspective from a lens of compassion and understanding. Say a prayer for wisdom and help to stop being so critical of others. Instead, focus on being helpful.

Understanding Father, sometimes I judge those around me. Help me to love them instead, to make them feel accepted and comforted. May I welcome them into my heart.

The Secret Place of the Most High

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.—Psalm 91:1 (NIV)

To experience the promises in Psalm 91, you must dwell in the “secret place of the Most High”—you must spend time alone in fellowship with God. Don’t get bogged down with the lesser things in life. Instead, make time for His miraculous presence. When you do this you’ll trust and know God’s protection, provision and blessing.

Heavenly Father, I pray that You will help me set aside time to be with You and make Your presence known.

God’s Majesty

For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.—1 Timothy 4:4 (NIV)

In autumn, evidence of God’s majesty is all around us—brightly colored leaves, pumpkin patches, blue sky and the shimmering of frost in the morning sun. Today, take a moment to enjoy the beauty of God’s creation.

Lord, the world is full of beauty. May I never take the wonder of Your creation for granted.

New Blessings to Come

Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”—Luke 9:62 (NIV)

As sure as day follows night, as inevitable as a sunset, change is part of God’s world. Be open to new opportunities that come with change and make an effort to gracefully navigate life’s changes. Stay calm and ask God for help adjusting to new circumstances—ask Him for hints of blessings to come.

Heavenly Father, help me recognize a new season of blessings.

Be Free!

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.—John 8:36 (NIV)

Jesus came so that we could have life and have it more abundantly. As the above verse promises, when Christ sets you free, “you will be free indeed” and live a life of grace, free from fear. Rejoice, and let Him take away your worries and burdens!

When I am afraid, I put my trust in You. In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? (Psalm 56:3-4, NIV)

Infinite Faith

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand forever.—Isaiah 40:8 (KJV)

As the leaves turn into a magnificent display of brilliant hues, which slowly drift downward leaving behind beautiful silhouettes of bare trees, we are reminded that life is finite—and that all living things at one time or another will wither and fade. It is our faith in an infinite God who promises life without end that helps us to see the autumns of life not as endings, but as beginnings.

Heavenly Father, help me to see the autumns of life with hope, knowing that every ending is the start of something new.

Live in the Moment

I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.—John 14:18 (KJV)

Although God wants you to learn from the past and plan for the future, He wants you to live in the present. Right now, this moment is what counts. Be still and receive the gift of God’s comfort. Trust your future is in His hands.

Lord, help me to celebrate Your loving presence right here, right now.

A Happy Heart

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.—Proverbs 17:22 (KJV)

Are you burdened by worry? If you can let go of focusing on your problems and center your thinking on the riches that are yours as a child of God, you will live a happier, healthier life.

Lord, when I begin thinking of myself as Atlas holding up the world, I will put my trust in You.

Satisfy Your Spirit

For behold, the kingdom of God is within you.—Luke 17:21 (AKJV)

Do you find yourself thinking that if you only had this or that you’d be happy? Don’t confuse spiritual yearnings with material wants. Instead, build your faith, spend time in prayer in communion with God.

Father, speak to me in Your still, small voice.

Sing God’s Praises

He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.—Psalm 40:3 (NIV)

Our struggles, our successes, even our failures—these are not our song. God is our song. When you make time for Him, putting your faith first—you experience a new song, a new way of life, a symphony of His beauty.

Heavenly Father, help us to live joyously, to celebrate the song in our heart and rejoice always.
