Discerning the Truth

Watch out that no one deceives you.—Mark 13:5 (NIV)
Sometimes people twist the truth or bend Scripture to mean something that doesn’t feel quite right in your heart. When this happens, quiet your thoughts and feel Jesus’ presence. Draw close to Him and rely on His wisdom and guidance to lead you to the true meaning. Center your mind and your heart on Him.
Heavenly Father, I turn to You to help strengthen my discernment. Guide me on the right path.

Give Praise to Jesus

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights above.—Psalm 148:1 (NIV)
Today praise Jesus for who He is and what He has promised. Like the psalmist in the above verse, turn your attention to praising God. Praise Him because He is worthy and deserving of your love and praise. Even when you are overwhelmed and feel discouraged, praise Him.
Almighty God, I worship You in spirit and truth. I am amazed by Your grace!

A Grateful Start

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; because this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.—1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 (NIV)

Lord, my grateful heart is filled with Your light, which will comfort and guide me through the bright days ahead.

Fix Yourself First

For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.—Matthew 7:2 (NIV)
Before you judge someone, take a moment and reflect on how you respond to your own shortcomings. Do you work on improving yourself by being more accepting, less anxious and more cheerful? Pray for God to help you fix your own faults.
Lord, guide me to place my focus and efforts on improving myself.

Your experiences and everything that you are going through right now are designed to help transform you into the very best you can be.
Lord, the next time I feel that my life is not on track, remind me that I am a work in progress. I know that You have an amazing plan for me.

Peace in God’s Word

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.—John 1:14 (NIV)
“In the beginning…” The Bible opens with this profound truth (Genesis 1:1): God fills the past, the present and the future. Yet, He took on flesh and came to live with us human beings. Why? Because His love is so deep and so strong, it never ends.
Dear God, at the start of this brand-new year, guide me to make a difference in this world for Your glory.

The Secret to the Spiritual Dry Spell

That they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us.—Acts 17:27 ESV

Dry spells or moments when you doubt God’s presence are an important part of spiritual growth and developing your faith. God is always near. His work is intertwined in your life even when you don’t feel it. The secret to getting through a crisis of faith is to pray more. Reach out to God and know that He hears you.

God of Heaven, I am lost and overwhelmed. Bring peace to my heart and strengthen my spirit until I can feel the comfort of Your presence.

Nothing Is Hidden

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.—Hebrews 4:13 NIV

Nothing is hidden from God. As Charles Swindoll said, “God knows our complexities and quirks; He ‘gets’ us better than our closest friends. Best of all, He cares.” God is with you throughout the day, lighting your path and guiding you with His wisdom.

Heavenly Father, I’m overwhelmed by Your love for me. You understand me better than anyone.

Stay on the Right Road

And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness; it will be for those who walk on that Way. The unclean will not journey on it; wicked fools will not go about on it. Isaiah 35:8 (NIV)

You are progressing on the Way of Holiness. Reflect on how you feel as you move toward being more fully centered on God’s will. Take a moment and praise God for the positive changes happening in your faith and your life.

God of Truth, thank You for showing me the Highway of Holiness.

Start the New Year with God

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!—2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale wrote, “Since the new year will not be any newer than you are, make up your mind that you are going to be new.” Today is a glorious beginning. A time to focus on a future filled with prayer and praise, service to God and mankind; a future filled with God’s presence, guided by His wisdom and empowered by His strength.
