Wait for It

For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come.—Habakkuk 2:3 (NIV)
Some of God’s greatest blessings may feel like an impossibly long time in coming. Though they linger, be patient. Keep faithful and keep looking to Him! He prepares every gift with perfect wisdom in His perfect timing.
Lord, I surrender my desires to Your will and Your ways.

Because the Sovereign Lord helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame.—Isaiah 50:7 (NIV)

The Beautiful Bright Side

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.—Romans 8:28 (ESV)

The Beauty of His Ways

Can you discover the depths of God? Can you discover the limits of the Almighty?—Job 11:7 (NASB)
Although you can genuinely and personally know God, fully understanding Him is impossible. No matter how hard you try, you cannot fully comprehend His ways. Rather than exhaustively trying to solve life’s mysteries—trust Him! Trust that He knows the beginning and the end. He is leading you to a better life. Rejoice.
Omnipotent God, You are the Alpha and the Omega. I trust You know what is best for me.

Seek His Kingdom

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.—Mathew 6:33 (NIV)
On this first day of Lent, search your heart for anything distracting you from feeling the comfort of Jesus’ presence. Vow to use this time to enhance your relationship with God and cultivate a deep and abiding prayer life.
Heavenly Father, today, on Ash Wednesday, guide me to live by Your will. Protect me from temptation.

Build Up One Another

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.—Proverbs 17:17 (NIV)
Norman Vincent Peale said, “Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. Be too big for worry and too noble for anger.” When you encounter a person who gets on your nerves, instead of focusing on the negative, look for the good in them. Give them a smile. Be patient and understanding. Extend God’s love.
Heavenly Father, help me build up another with friendship.

The Abundance of the Heart

For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.—Matthew 12:34 (NIV)
Jesus said you can tell what is in a person’s heart by what they speak about. Reflect on your own words and what they reveal about your character. Do you spend time complaining, gossiping, boasting? Turn to better alternatives and instead choose encouraging, compassionate and kind words.
Heavenly Father, help me use words that reflect my heart.

Do the Right Thing

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”—Matthe w 7:13–14 (NIV)
You are faced with thousands of decisions every day. If you struggle to know what the right thing is, or to do the right thing when you might not want to, ask Jesus to guide your actions. He will help you keep on the less-traveled—but more rewarding—road that leads to glory and everlasting life.
Lord, You are my compass and companion, guiding me to become the best I can be.

Blessed by Winter’s Wait

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.—2 Peter 3:18 (NIV)
On these wintry days, despite the frozen surface of the ground, new growth is beginning to form. Just as nature often grows unnoticed, your spirit and faith unfold slowly, little by little and day by day. Take a moment and give thanks for winter’s pauses, which give you time to rest and reflect on your own spiritual growth.
God of Compassion, thank You for nurturing and shaping me with Your guidance and love.

When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.—Psalm 94:19 (NIV)

Overcoming Barriers to Feeling God’s Love

He said, “Go and tell this people: ‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’”—Isaiah 6:9 (NIV)
Have you ever felt like Isaiah, unworthy of God’s holiness? When Isaiah realized the error of his ways, a holy seraph placed a burning coal at Isaiah’s lips and gave him the gift of forgiveness. Take a moment and search your heart for any feelings of resentment or shame holding you back. Ask God for His forgiveness.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your compassion and for reminding me that as Your child, I am worthy of Your love and forgiveness.

God prepared Esther for her predestined moment to save His people, and God is at work in your life too. He has a particular purpose for you and has selected you to serve Him by being a loving person to those around you. He has handpicked you for the job in all the roles you fill in your life.
