God Cannot Lie

God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged.—Hebrews 6:18 (NIV)
Let the words of this verse sink into your mind and heart. Trust the two unchangeable things: God’s promise and His oath. Though people can be dishonest and deceitful, God will never lie to you. His Word and messages are always honest and trustworthy. So when you are confused about where to turn—and whom to trust—go to God. Trust Him.
God of Truth, thank You for Your promises that I trust and can count on.

Big Thanks for Little Things

One person pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.—Proverbs 13:7 (NIV)
Thomas Secker , the former Archbishop of Canterbury, said, “He enjoys much who is thankful for little.” An easy way to experience great joy is to thank God for the little things in life. Express your gratitude for God’s gifts of small blessings.
Heavenly Father, because of You, I am rich with big and small blessings.

Arbor Day Prayer

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.—Psalm 1:3 (KJV)
Did you know that trees are mentioned in the Bible more than any living thing other than God and His people? God had a fantastic plan when He created trees—giving us oxygen, shade, fruit and beauty! Today on Arbor Day, reflect on an important tree in your life—perhaps one in your neighborhood you admire or in your childhood backyard. Thank God for His gracious provision.
Lord, planting a tree is an act of faith and hope, a way of planning for a better tomorrow.

God Chooses You

Your Holy Anchor

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.—Hebrews 6:19–20 (NIV)
Jesus is your holy Anchor. When the storms of this world ravage your security and make you feel like you’ve lost all control—hold on to Him. He will not slip or fall in life’s ups and downs. He will keep you from being swept away into a whirlwind of worry and fear.
Lord, when circumstances threaten my livelihood, secure me. Fill my soul with hope.

Swept Away Like a Cloud

“I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.”—Isaiah 44:22 (NIV)

Give from 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)
When was the last time you took a possession that had real value for you and gave it away? To experience true selfless giving, consider generously letting go of something without thinking of what you might get in return. Keep your gesture a secret between you and God.
Lord, help me give generously from the heart! Help me let go of anything I’m holding on to too tightly, understanding that life’s gifts are meant to be shared.

Choose Kindness

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.”—Matthew 7:1 (NIV)
Before you speak, ask God to help you discern if your input will be helpful or hurtful. Fight the temptation to judge others and voice opposing opinions. Ask for His help to accept others and to choose your words with kindness.
Heavenly Father, open my heart to be more understanding and compassionate. Guide me to build others up and use words that please You.
