God’s Hidden Treasures

He said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will display my splendor.”—Isaiah 49:3 (NIV)
Some Christians see the sand dollar as a symbol of Jesus’ birth, death and resurrection. In addition to the outer markings, the inside holds five pieces that are shaped like tiny white doves—representing the gospel of peace. God has filled the world with many treasures for us to find. Today, look and take notice of His work.
Heavenly Father, I praise You for the many beautiful ways You convey Your message.

The Best Days Are Ahead

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.—2 Corinthians 4:17 (NIV)
No doubt about it, aging can be difficult. If you fall into the trap of feeling as if your best days are behind you, remind yourself that you are being renewed day by day. You are extraordinary, today, right now. Priceless in the eyes of God. Embrace your worth!
Lord, help me to age gracefully—to live hopefully, looking forward to the blessings ahead.

Too Much of a Good Thing

Have you found honey? Eat only as much as you need, lest you be filled with it and vomit.—Proverbs 25:16 (NKJV)
God has blessed us by creating a world with many things that give us comfort and pleasure. Yet, if we have too much of a good thing, it causes us harm by making us sick or by taking priority over our faith. Practice self-control and remember your purpose.
Great Provider, help me keep my focus on You. You are all I need.

Keep Going!

When people fall down, do they not get up?—Jeremiah 8:4 (NIV)
Have you ever been called to a goal, and yet the doors of opportunity refuse to open? Are you tempted to quit? Pray. Ask God to help you understand why He has placed this passion in your heart. If you feel that He is encouraging you to keep at it, ask Him to help you see the lessons you are learning along the way.
Heavenly Father, help me to be patient, to see the value in trying my best even when the results are slow. No matter how many times I may fall, I will always get up and keep going.

You Already Have It

I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.—Philippians 4:11 (NIV)
Some people make the mistake of believing contentment and inner peace are dependent upon things out of reach. Instead of falling into this trap, reflect on the blessings you have right now. Begin with the simple and obvious: You are breathing, you have a relationship with God, the sky is gorgeous. Smile. Contentment and inner peace are right here, within you, right now.
Lord, when I feel restless, remind me that You have given me the freedom to be content and live righteously, right here and now.

Face Your Fear

Then David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous and do it. Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed, for the Lord God, even my God, is with you.”—1 Chronicles 28:20 (ESV)
Have you been in a situation where you made a decision based on fear? When you live your life letting worry or panic control you, you aren’t free. Instead, focus on God’s goodness. His love can help you stand up to whatever is causing you anxiety. With Him by your side, there is nothing to fear.
Lord, because of You I can live my life confidently, boldly making the right choices.

Brighten the Day

Don’t hold back good from those who are worthy of it. Don’t hold it back when you can help.—Proverbs 3:27 (NIRV)
Never underestimate the power that a small gesture of kindness can bring to the world. When you feel the nudge to reach out to someone, pray on their behalf or encourage them with a compliment, don’t hold back. You may never know what your light does for someone who desperately needs it. But God knows.
Light of the World, guide me to be a beacon of Your love, brightening another’s day.

Patience in Hard Times

“You have done a foolish thing,” Samuel said. “You have not kept the command the Lord your God gave you; if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time.”—1 Samuel 13:13 (NIV)
Trusting God when things aren’t going your way can be very challenging. In the above passage, Saul felt that he was running out of time. Impatient and worried, he acted against God’s will and suffered the consequences. The next time you are experiencing a waiting period, don’t let your impatience overpower your desire to please God.
Heavenly Father, help me keep the faith and follow Your instructions no matter how difficult it might be.

Your Most Precious Friendship

You are my friends if you do what I command.—John 15:14 (NIV)
One of the most fulfilling relationships you can have is a friendship with Jesus. Reach out to Him when you are feeling weak and alone. Find encouragement, guidance and wisdom by checking in with Him every day and sharing the details of your life with Him. He wants to hear from you.
Lord, You are my faithful friend, loving me unconditionally. You know my potential and are helping me reach it.

The One Who Serves

But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves.—Luke 22:26 (NIV)
Jesus teaches that the most effective leaders are not the most bold or courageous. The best leaders are motivated by serving others; they see people in need and look for ways to help them. How can you be a compassionate leader among your loved ones?
Dear God, may we all lead by serving others and working for the greater good of all.
