Grow in God’s Word

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.—2 Timothy 3:16 (ESV)

Lord, I am in awe of the power of Your Word.

It Is Not About You

Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”—John 6:28–29 (ESV)
This verse is a reminder that your life’s work is not about what you want to accomplish. The true goal of your life is about God and centering your thoughts, focus and actions on serving Him.

God’s Crooked Lines

The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.—Proverbs 16:9 (ESV)
There is a saying that “God writes straight with crooked lines.” His plan is not always predictable. Unexpected twists and turns can throw you off balance unless you are rooted in faith and ready to take on new experiences.
My Loving God, I am learning to appreciate Your unexpected directions, which lead me to grow in ways I never imagined.

Peace in God’s Word

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.—John 1:14 (NIV)
“In the beginning…” The Bible opens with this profound truth (Genesis 1:1): God fills the past, the present and the future. Yet, He took on flesh and came to live with us human beings. Why? Because His love is so deep and so strong, it never ends.

Forward-Focused

Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.—Philippians 3:13-14 (ESV)

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale coined the phrase “victorious forgetfulness”—the act of forgetting about whatever barriers keep you from letting go of the past so that you can have a prosperous and beautiful future. Forget your mistakes, your feelings of insecurity and fear. Focus on victory.

Our Heavenly Father, thank You for the great truth that if I believe in You, I will accept the great opportunities that await me tomorrow.
