Faith in the Face of Injustice

You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.—Genesis 50:20 (NIV)
How do you respond when faced with injustice? Turn to God and pray. Turn away from vengeance and instead look to Him to help you see the situation as an opportunity for growth and transformation. Instead of blowing up in anger, calmly ask God for the strength to be your best in this challenging situation.
Lord, I trust that my future is in Your loving care.

First Day of Advent

And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.—Luke 1:38 (ESV)
On this first day of Advent, consider that moment when the angel appeared to Mary and asked her if she would be the mother of the Messiah. Her response, after the angel answered her question on how this would be, was one of trust. “Let it be to me according to your word.” As we prepare our hearts for Jesus’ coming, strive for that wholehearted faith of accepting God’s will with joy.
Lord, God, I trust Your goodness and wisdom in my life.

A Beautiful Makeover

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.—Romans 12:1 (NIV)
When you focus on God’s love and loving others, your entire outlook shifts. Strive to be more mindful of how your energy affects others and be more giving and optimistic. Err on the side of compassion.

Do Something That Scares You

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.—Joshua 1:9 (NIV)
Eleanor Roosevelt famously said, “Do one thing every day that scares you.” Doing one thing every day might be too daunting to begin with, but ask yourself, when was the last time you stretched beyond your comfort zone? If nothing comes to mind, you are due to seek out something a little scary. Be strong and courageous.
Lord, help me stretch beyond the safe boundaries that I have created. I know You are with me wherever I go.

Give Thanks

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord.—Psalm 92:1 (KJV)

Heavenly Father, may the light of gratitude shine in my life.

The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.—Psalm 34:10 (NIV)

Serve Humbly

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.—Philippians 2:3 (NIV)
Being of service to others helps you grow closer to God. When you give your time and energy to another in need, not for your own gain but in selfless service, you experience something greater than yourself. You allow God’s love to flow through you.
Lord, I am ready to humbly serve You. Show me where I am needed.

Sing God’s Praises

I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.—Psalm 34:1 (KJV)

Heavenly Father, how amazing is it that when I sing Your praises, You uplift my spirit.

Your Conscience Is a Gift

And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.—Isaiah 30:21 (ESV)
When your conscience bothers you, do you tune it out, or do you pay attention? Think of your conscience as a gift, your personal inner guide—helping to direct your actions and shape your behavior. God often uses your conscience to alert you when your choices may not be in your own best interest.
Lord, help me to see my conscience as a spiritual tool that helps me grow closer to You.

Embrace the New

Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.—Isaiah 43:19 (ESV)
Try something new. Instead of being a creature of habit and eating the same foods, spending time on the same hobbies, branch out. Travel a different route, read a different book genre. Be adventurous, you never know what new favorite thing God will invite into your life.  
Heavenly Father, there are so many amazing things to experience—help me to branch out and try new things each day.
