Maundy Thursday

After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.—John 13:5 (NIV)
The disciples, especially Peter, found it embarrassing to have Christ wash their feet. The Lord was so much greater than they were. How can you emulate Jesus’ loving humility? Perhaps it’s a phone call to a person you’ve lost touch with? A delivery of flowers to brighten someone’s day?
Lord, what act of kindness can I do for someone today?

Embrace His Love

Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.—John 1:12 (NIV)
God wants to remind you of His great love for you, especially when your heart is low and you are feeling down. Rest in the knowledge that on good days and bad days, in successful times and times of failure, one thing remains the same: You are a redeemed Child of God.
Gracious God, I know You love me, and I love You.

Palm Sunday: Hosanna! Blessed Is He

Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.—Zechariah 9:9 (NIV)
Today, Palm Sunday, is the first day of Holy Week. As Jesus made His triumphant entry into Jerusalem, the crowds cheered and waved palm branches to symbolize His victory. Reflect on Jesus’ passion and thank God for sending His son to walk on earth among us.
Dear Lord, may I always be mindful of the sacrifice You made for me.

Strength for the Day

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.—2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV)
God wants you to have peace even when peace seems impossibly far away. When you need courage or help with a problem, turn to Him. He will give you the strength to face the day ahead. He will comfort you with His peace.
Lord, when I need a boost of courage, fill me with Your power. Bless me with peace of mind and heart.

God Loves the Details

Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you.—Exodus 25:9 (NIV)

God’s Love Exceeds Expectations

The women said to Naomi: “Praise be to the Lord, who this day has not left you without a guardian-redeemer. May he become famous throughout Israel! He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. For your daughter-in-law, who loves you and who is better to you than seven sons, has given him birth.”—Ruth 4:14–15 (NIV)
Naomi must have been distressed and upset when her life took a series of devastating turns that she had not anticipated. And yet, the Book of Ruth ends with Naomi filled with joy. Perhaps you are going through a time when your life doesn’t live up to your expectations. Turn to God—and keep the faith.
Heavenly Father, help me feel Your peace and know that Your gift is coming.

Sing a New Song

Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.—Psalm 96:2 (NIV)
Hans Christian Andersen wrote, “Where words fail, music speaks.” Sometimes music can help us feel closer to God, whether it’s classical or praise music, or perhaps a joyful pop song that lifts your spirit when you need it most. If you are looking for a new way to pray, turn on your favorite radio station or playlist and sing along, knowing that your voice is heard by God.
Great Maker of Music, I will sing to You, Lord, a new song!

Fix Yourself First

For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.—Matthew 7:2 (NIV)
Before you judge someone, take a moment and reflect on how you respond to your own shortcomings. Do you work on improving yourself by being more accepting, less anxious and more cheerful? Pray for God to help you fix your own faults.
Lord, guide me to place my focus and efforts on improving myself.
