A Cup of Cold Water

And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.—Matthew 10:42 (NIV)
What may seem like little or insignificant gifts to others in need become powerful blessings, holy gifts, when given to honor Jesus. What small or large act of kindness can you do today to bless others as you serve the Lord?
Heavenly Father, help me to be a healing force in someone’s life today. May my actions inspire others to know Your great love.

Maker of Miracles

Jesus also did many other things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole world could not contain the books that would be written.—John 21:25 (NLT)
Life is abundantly blessed with God’s many miracles. This verse helps us to remember that the Bible only captures a small portion of the countless positive things Jesus did. Consider amazing moments you’ve experienced, from breathtaking sunrises to the first breath of a newborn. When you open your heart to His miracles, you will witness amazing glimpses of His glory.
Maker of Miracles, Your power is unlimited. You make the impossible possible.

Celebrate Freedom

I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I have set my heart on your laws. I hold fast to your statutes, Lord; do not let me be put to shame. I run in the path of your commands, for you have broadened my understanding.—Psalm 119:30–32 (NIV)
Today, as we celebrate Independence Day, reflect on the many blessings God has given our nation. Pray for those who have sacrificed and served to protect our freedom; pray for peace among nations and all people.
Lord, make us worthy of Your gift of freedom.

Give Your Worries to God

Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothes?—Matthew 6:25 (NIV)
Is the cloak of fear affecting your faith? Do you worry about big things and little things, what-ifs and what has already happened? In the above verse, Jesus tells us not to worry. Instead, put all your trust in Him.
Dear God, I give You my worry list so that You may give me Your peace.

See His Light

As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.—Acts 9:3 (NIV)
In this verse, Saul had an incredible experience that changed him from persecuting early Christians to following Christ. How has God changed your heart? Reflect on a past experience when He revealed His light of truth to you.
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.

Perfect Weakness

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.—2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
When Paul suffered from a thorn in his flesh and asked God to help him by removing it, God responded with the above Scripture. We all experience painful and difficult times, but we must learn to push through with the help of God’s strength.
Lord, in moments of weakness, strengthen me with Your power.

Your Best Defense

For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.—Deuteronomy 20:4 (NIV)
When you are trying to overcome a bad habit and feel as if you are facing utter defeat, turn to Jesus and say, “I doubt I can do this, but I know that You can.” Identify the enemy that is causing you harm, whether it’s an unhealthy diet, too much social media or negative self-talk, and know that God can bring victory.
Lord God, please help me battle my negative thoughts and actions. I know that with Your help I can succeed.

Wherever You Go

I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.—Genesis 28:15 (NIV)
God promises to watch over you wherever you go. His presence is constant. If something has happened that causes you to worry that He has abandoned you, reflect on people in the Bible who experienced the same feeling: Jacob, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Samson to name a few. God is with you even when you doubt His presence. He offers guidance and peace. He always keeps His promises.
Lord, You are my refuge and strength. I have nothing to fear.

His Goodness Shines

So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.—Genesis 1:21 (NIV)
Everything God made reflects His goodness. When you are focused on your own flaws or feeling down about the world and your circumstances, reflect on the wonders of God’s creation and know that His goodness shines in you, too.
Creator God, change my perspective so that I see Your beauty in all my experiences.

God Is Still in Control

The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers. May he not leave us or forsake us.—1 Kings 8:57 (ESV)
When life takes an unexpected turn and you feel lost and bewildered by your circumstances, turn to God. He will never leave you. You are not lost. You are exactly where you are supposed to be—in the comfort of His presence.
Dear Lord, You are always with me, and because of this truth I am never alone or lost.

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.
