The Power of Little Things

His master said to him, “Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.”—Matthew 25:21 (ESV)
The parable of the good and faithful servant in Matthew emphasizes the value of everyday good deeds. Sometimes we overlook small and powerful gestures by limiting our focus to grandiose expressions of faith, but in this parable, as well as in the life of Jesus, it is the little things that allow us to “enter into the joy of your master.”
Heavenly Father, guide me to the little things I can do right now that will have a big impact.

Battling the Winter Blues

Do you know how God controls the storm and causes the lightning to flash from his clouds?—Job 37:15 (NLT)
God’s goodness can be seen in both the sunshine of life as well as the gray days of January. All serve a purpose, and all meet our needs. So if you are facing the malaise of winter days, have faith, and know God’s plan is at work.
Dear Lord, I am receptive to Your ways, whether they are filled with glorious weather or rainy days.

Your Go-To Scripture

Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”—Mark 9:23 (NKJV)
Norman Vincent Peale referred to this verse as “one of the greatest gems of truth in the greatest book of wisdom in the world.” Anything is possible if you believe. Release your doubts and focus on the amazing, miraculous and incredible truth that all things are possible.
Heavenly Father, guide me to cast out doubt and believe in Your infinite power.

A New Way in the Wilderness

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.—Isaiah 43:19 (NIV)
God has a plan for your life. Do you resist and fear change, even when it’s a great move forward that leads to something better? Instead of being fixed and stagnant, decide to reach toward opportunity and place God’s plan before yours.
Dear Lord, I know that You are always in control of my life and that Your ways are better than mine.

The Word Endures

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.—Isaiah 40:8 (NIV)
In the stillness of winter, when the world can transform overnight to a stretching canvas of white, we are reminded that life is finite—and that all living things at one time or another will wither and fade. It is our faith in an infinite God that promises life without end.
Heavenly Father, my hope is knowing that every ending is the start of something new.

Respond with Love

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.—Colossians 3:12–13 (NIV)
Does it seem that people are more critical than they used to be? If you are the target of someone’s criticism, reflect on Scripture and align with God’s Word to use compassion, kindness and gentleness, and to “bear with each other and forgive one another.”
Lord, when I am holding onto a harsh word or having trouble forgiving, wrap me in Your loving arms and comfort me. Give me the courage and strength to rise above my hurt feelings.

Help for the Helpless

[Elijah] looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again.—1 Kings 19:6 (NIV)
God cares deeply for those in need. When Elijah asked Him to take his life, God gave him bread and water and a chance to rest and recharge. If you or someone you love is going through a dark period, ask God to help them have faith that things will get better.
Lord, shine Your divine tenderness on all those who need it.

Say Yes to Grace

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.—Micah 6:8 (NIV)
The Bible is filled with unlikely heroes—flawed people who are transformed by their faith. The more you say, “Yes!” to God and open your heart to doing His work on earth, the more your life will be transformed by His grace.
Lord, I am here, and I say yes to receiving Your love and spreading Your light here on earth.

Wrestling with God

Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”—Genesis 32:28 (NIV)
Jacob needed to escape the wrongdoings of his past. He began the night upset and fearful of tomorrow—yet after wrestling with God he was blessed with a new  destiny. When you are struggling with God, know that He will bless you. He will bring you peace.
Dear Lord, in the words of Jacob, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever.—John 14:16 (NIV)
Do you fall into the trap of wondering if things will ever get any better? Perhaps your finances or health are causing you distress. Jesus’ promise in the above verse assures you that you are not alone. He will resolve your nagging worries.
