A White Stone with a New Name

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it.—Revelation 2:17 (NIV)
In this verse, victorious believers are promised a white stone with a new name. Many interpret this Scripture to mean that Jesus knows you and all the trials that you have endured. One day, He will give you a new name that represents your true spirit and faithfulness.
Lord, thank You for knowing and loving me.

Happy Father’s Day

“I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”—2 Corinthians 6:18 (NIV)
Today as we honor our earthly fathers, remember to honor our Heavenly Father, too. Take a moment and praise Him for the many blessings He gives: hope, strength, comfort, peace. The list is endless!
Heavenly Father, You are the greatest God, always guiding, protecting and helping me live my best life.

Finish What You Start

Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.—Philippians 1:6 (NIV)
When you feel overwhelmed by a goal and doubt you can finish a project that God has put in your heart, remember this verse. Trust that He will stay with you and help you carry it through to completion.
Lord, I am in awe that Your Word is alive and guiding me to thrive and stretch beyond even my most ambitious goals.

Expect the Extraordinary

“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”—Mark 1:17 (NIV)
In this verse, the miraculous happened; the ordinary became extraordinary. A normal day was transformed as fishermen became disciples. Jesus called these men to pick up and leave their nets and become “fishers of men.” What is Jesus calling you to do?
Lord, I am ready to serve You.

True Light

And the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub to the threshold of the house, and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the Lord. Ezekiel 10:4 (ESV)
Do you give light to others that are sitting in the darkness? When you see other people embracing dark thoughts, do you illuminate their mindset so that they see the good and get back on the right path?
Almighty God, I long to glorify You and bring Your light to those wrapped in darkness.

Filled with God

Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.—Romans 12:11–12 (NIV)
The word “enthusiasm” comes from the Greek words “en theos,” which translates to “filled with God.” Norman Vincent Peale said, “Fill the day with enthusiasm. Give the day all you’ve got and it will give you all it’s got, which will be plenty.”
Lord, I am excited about today! Fill me with Your presence.

Here and Now

I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry.—Psalm 40:1 (NIV)
Patience teaches us to live in the moment—to be completely and fully present right now. When you focus on the future and are impatient for something to happen, you lose the gift of today.
Heavenly Father, help me trust Your timing and truly live in the here and now.

Clothed and Complete

So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.—Galatians 3:26–27 (NIV)
Today, think of this verse and reflect on what Paul is saying. What does being clothed in Christ mean to you? Is it to reveal His glory to the world? To be protected by His armor? Is he referencing the full transformation that happens when you trust that God is the center of your being?
Heavenly Father, I am clothed and complete and ready to face the world because of You.

Bloom for God

Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.”—Luke 13:6 (NIV)
This time of the year, as the plants grow and thrive, recognize that if God can make the lush green earth bloom, He can help you flourish, too. What parts of your life do you want Him to nurture? Ask God to help you flourish.
Heavenly Father, I am determined to bloom where You have planted me.

Love Prospers When You Forgive

Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends.—Proverbs 17:9 (NLT)
Sometimes it is difficult to forgive. When this happens, turn to God, and ask Him to help you release the pain and anger that you are holding on to, and to increase your love. His perfect love can help you.
All-forgiving God, You love me even when I don’t deserve it. Help me to extend that perfect love to others.

The Miracle of His Love

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.—1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV)
A beautiful benefit of praying for others is that the act itself increases your own faith. When you open your heart to intercede for another’s needs, you experience God’s unlimited power. Not only do you deepen your faith, but you share His glorious riches.
Dear God, I feel so connected to You when I participate in the miracle of Your love.

Feel God’s Presence

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.—Jeremiah 29:13 (NIV)
Georges Lefebvre said, “Prayer is an end to isolation. It is living our daily life with Someone; with Him who alone can deliver us from solitude.” Although God is ever-present, it is consistent prayer that enables us to feel His presence.
Lord, You are so good to me! Because of You I never need to feel alone.
