See His Light

As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.—Acts 9:3 (NIV)

Lord, thank You for helping me to see Your truth and to follow Your guidance today, tomorrow and always.

Less Judging, More Loving

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.—Proverbs 3:3 (NIV)
It happens to the best of us—we make rush judgments about people based on wrong information or an unpleasant first impression. The next time you are about to discount someone, reflect on this verse and focus on seeing Christ in them.
Dear God, help me to be less critical and more loving. Guide me to approach others with compassion, patience and love.

The Joy of Faith

For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.—Psalm 30:5 (NIV)
What brings you joy? Is it a beautiful sunrise? The laughter of a loved one? Today, take a moment and reflect on the many gifts of grace that God has given you. Often we focus so much on our worries that we neglect to see what is certain and constant—His many blessings. Remind yourself that no matter what you are going through, as Psalm 30 promises, “joy comes in the morning.”
Heavenly Father, my joy is knowing that I can trust Your promises to always lift my spirits.

Grow in Grace

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.—Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV)
Spring is a season of growth. The budding flowers are beautiful proof of nature’s resilience. Each bloom is a reminder that life is filled with transition. If you are experiencing a challenging time, trust that it is temporary and that every moment in your life serves a purpose in God’s plan—an opportunity for growth.
Heavenly Father, help me remember that hard times help me grow in grace.

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!

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.
