Everything You Need

But godliness with contentment is great gain.—1 Timothy 6:6 (NIV)
The Apostle Paul shared the pitfalls of seeking wealth. God has given you all that you need and more! When you crave something material, instead look to God. Only He can satisfy. Ask Him to help you live with gratitude with what you have.
Lord, in You I am content. I have everything I need.

Take Every Thought Captive

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.—2 Corinthians 10: 4–5 (NIV)
God wants you to live in peace—making choices and actions aligned with His Word. To follow His instructions, you must “take every thought captive” and discern when your thinking goes against His will. Ask God to help you uncover dark or destructive thoughts so that you can live a peaceful and examined life that follows His guidance.
Lord, help me to align my thoughts with Your heart.

You Are an Overcomer

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.—1 John 4:4 (NIV)
Are you living victoriously? No matter what situation you are going through, you can live a life of victory. When you feel defeated, remind yourself of God’s power—and that His Spirit dwells within you. Because of this fact, you are greater than any threat or circumstance. You are an overcomer!
Lord, help me to remember that You are greater than the power of the enemy.

Let Your Leaves Fall

Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.—Ephesians 4:31 (ESV)
Look to nature and the falling leaves, and be inspired to let go of the emotional weight you are carrying. Release feelings of jealousy or worry, bitterness or guilt, or any feelings that are getting in the way of you living fully and joyfully. Ask Him to fill your mind and spirit with encouragement, hope and love.
Heavenly Father, I don’t know why I insist on holding onto things that block me from fully experiencing Your love. Today I vow to let go of fear and embrace Your grace.

Your Refuge & Shield

You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word.—Psalm 119:114 (NIV)
Do you run to God when you feel alone or overwhelmed? You have a safe place always available to you. God is both your hiding place and your shield. He will protect you. He will shelter you from harm.
Lord, Your Word is my hope. Only You are my true shelter, refuge and God. Your everlasting love comforts me and brings me peace.

Extend His Mercy

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.—Colossians 1:13 (KJV)
God in His grace has raised you above the darkness to the heavenly places with Christ. Because He has shown you great mercy, He invites you to extend this mercy to others. Today, make an effort to offer kindness and compassion to those battling darkness in their own lives. Reach out to someone in need.
Dear Lord, thank You for Your mercy; guide me to extend it to others who need Your love and light.

New Adventures Ahead

And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.—Mark 4:35 (KJV)
In the above verse, Jesus knew He needed a change and moved to the other side. Perhaps God is nudging you to make a change in your life—to leave behind the familiar and trust Him with the unknowns of the future. Know that He will be with you as you forge ahead.
Lord, even good change can be scary, walking away from something I know to something I don’t. But I can be courageous because You are my strength, my unchanging Savior.

Patient, Wise and Forgiving

A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.—Proverbs 19:11 (NIV)
How do you react when someone hurts your feelings? Rather than responding in the heat of the moment, be patient. Consider the intention of the offender—and the best course of action. Approach the situation with wisdom and compassion.
Lord, help me to be a wise person in my relationships, forgiving others as You have forgiven me.

Uniquely Made

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”—Genesis 1:26 (NIV)
You are created in God’s image, and He has entrusted you to act on His behalf and to reflect His likeness here on earth. He has given you the strength to fight against the bad forces in the world with righteousness, compassion and love.
Heavenly Father, sometimes I need reminding that I am uniquely made in Your image!

Be True to Yourself

He also told them this parable: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit? The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.”—Luke 6:39–40 (NIV)
Jesus reminds you to examine and reexamine what is truly important in your life and to see if your answer aligns with His teachings. Is your heart right with God? By His grace you will live your life so that it truly pleases Him.
Heavenly Father, help me to grow and know You more each day. Help me to recognize my own “blind spots” so that I can clearly follow Your guidance.

A Grateful Heart

In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. He prayed to the Lord, who answered him and gave him a miraculous sign.—2 Chronicles 32:24 (NIV)
King Hezekiah forgot to acknowledge God and suffered the consequences. Pride can blind you from acknowledging His hand in your blessings. Everything you have is a gift from God. Take a moment and thank Him for your many successes. God wants you to practice gratitude and humility.
Lord, I need You! I appreciate all You have done for me. Help me to have a humble and grateful heart.
