Tune in to God’s Gifts

Ears that hear and eyes that see—the Lord has made them both.—Proverbs 20:12 (NIV)
God sends small miracles to brighten every day. Do you notice them? The next time you experience a little blessing—a parking spot that opens up, a beautiful dragonfly that lands on your window, or a meaningful song that pops up on the radio just as you tune the dial—thank Him for shining His light on your life.
Dear Lord, Your fingerprints are all around me. Give me ears that hear and eyes that see Your many wondrous blessings.

Shake the Dust Off

If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.—Matthew 10:14 (NIV)
When Jesus sent the disciples to spread the Gospel, He knew that they would not always be welcome. His advice when this happened was to move on and keep going. Is there something in your life that you are clinging to that may just be a waste of time? Reflect on what is blocking you from moving forward. Shake the dust off your feet.
Lord, help me discern what I should let go of. Guide me forward on my faith journey.

Shine His Light on Dark Thoughts

At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.—Psalm 119:62 (KJV)

Heavenly Father, I know You are with me, guiding me to embrace life’s journey, even through the loneliness of dark nights.

You Will Reap the Songs of Joy

Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.—Psalm 126:5 (NIV)

Dear Lord, when my heart is heavy with grief, fill me with Your peace and reassure me of the bright future You have planned for me.

All Is Well
