Live with Constant Hope

And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you.—Psalm 39:7 (NLT)
Norman Vincent Peale said, “The key to surviving any challenge or crisis is hope. Hope that Jesus loves you. Hope that He is, right now, working out a solution for you. Hope that the future you place in His hands will be better than the present you hold in your own.”
Lord, as we close one year and begin anew, I turn to You and have faith that Your promises will come true.

Your Pathway to Miracles

He who forms the mountains, who creates the wind, and who reveals his thoughts to mankind, who turns dawn to darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth—the Lord God Almighty is his name.—Amos 4:13 (NIV)
Augustine of Hippo is quoted as saying, “Miracles are not contrary to nature but only contrary to what we know about nature.” Do you limit your prayers to earthly thinking? The same Almighty God who created the oceans and wind, hears your prayers. Tell Him your concerns; believe in His infinite power and wondrous abilities to miraculously answer your needs.
Great Creator, I believe that nothing is impossible because of You.

Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.—Psalm 90:12 (NIV)

Everything You Need

The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.—John 6:63 (NLT)
British missionary James Hudson Taylor wrote, “God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supplies.” His power through the Holy Spirit empowers you to accomplish every task He assigns, and gives you everything you need to succeed for His glory.

Decide in Your Heart

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.—2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV)
Everyone has probably heard the phrase, “It’s the thought that counts.” This time of year, be mindful of its sentiment and intentionally approach others with joyful attitudes—and actions. Something as simple as letting someone get in line in front of you at the store or phoning a friend can spread holiday cheer.
Dear God, help me to be thoughtful and encouraging so that I bring joy to others. The more I give, the more blessed I feel.

No Need to Worry

Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?—Matthew 6:27 (NIV)
