God’s Good Will

The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.—Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)
Listen to the voice deep in your heart, and be guided by God’s wisdom. Steer away from things that are not in your best interest, even if they are tempting, and make habits and choices that align with your best life.
Heavenly Father, You are my guide. Help me to choose You and to follow Your way.

A voice of one calling: “In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.”—Isaiah 40:3 (NIV)

Jesus the Great Gardener

He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.” Jesus said to her, “Mary.”—John 20:15–16 (NIV)
When Mary Magdalene first saw Jesus, she mistook Him for the gardener. Take a moment and reflect on that. Envision Jesus as a gardener tending to your spirit. What beautiful blooms does He have planned for you in this new year?
Almighty God, I trust You to grow new life, to heal the broken parts of me and make me whole and hopeful.
