A Steward of God’s Grace

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.—1 Peter 4:10 (ESV)
Corrie ten Boom said, “It’s not my ability, but my response to God’s ability that counts.” Your talents are based on your faith and willingness to let God’s power work in you. Answer His call, and everything else in your life will fall into place.
Lord, do Your powerful work through me. I want to be a good steward of Your grace.

New Life

“Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.”—Ezekiel 37:13–14 (NIV)
The name Ezekiel means “God’s Strength,” and in this passage of The Valley of Dry Bones, Ezekiel’s vision shows that God can perform the miraculous. He can restore life from death. He can renew you with His Spirit and uplift you with His Word.
Lord Almighty, when I am weary, breathe new life into me.

Pride Hinders Faith

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble.—Daniel 4:37 (NIV)
Take a moment and reflect on this verse. Do you recognize the power of God’s help and healing in your life? Do you let pride cloud your faith? Humble yourself before God and let Him lift you up.

The Power of Surrender

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.—Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV)
When you let go of your need to control things and turn over your weakness to God, you recognize that His limitless strength can work through you. Surrender. Know that God is beside you and all things are possible.

Sufficient Grace

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.—2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)

God’s grace is always enough. Reflect on this verse. Let its simplicity, beauty and truth speak to your heart. No matter what you are going through, the challenges you face, the pain you feel—when you call upon His name, God will give you the courage, power and strength to keep on going.

Dear God, I cast my cares on You, trusting that Your grace is sufficient.

When Life Doesn’t Make Sense

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.—Isaiah 55:8 (NIV)
Philip Yancey wrote, “Faith, I’ve concluded, means believing in advance what will only make sense in reverse.” Unfortunate events can leave you bewildered and trying to make sense of adversity. Turn to this verse when you feel confused and are deeply trying to find meaning and purpose behind what is happening. Trust God.
Heavenly Father, I trust Your plan.

Reach for the Stars

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?—Psalm 8:3–4 (NIV)
Nature itself is a testimony of God’s existence. Make time to go outside and look up at the moon and stars. Be mindful of God, the Creator, the expanse of the universe and the stunning beauty of the night sky.

Trust God’s Power Is at Work

But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded.—Genesis 8:1 (NIV)
Throughout the Bible, there are many “But God” passages that turn everything around. Often it seems that there is no way, but God makes a way. He is always around you and never stops loving and caring for you.
Dear Lord, there have been times my future looked bleak, but You showed Your mercy and showered blessings upon me.

Let Your Guard Down

And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.—2 Corinthians 3:18 (NIV)
Jesus wants you to openly come to Him with your defenses down and your face unveiled. Surrender all parts of yourself to Him. Share everything, even the thoughts or fears that you have kept hidden and walled off. He is waiting to hear from you.
Lord, today I come to You with my guard down, sharing everything.
