From the Mouth of God

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ”—Matthew 4:4 (NIV)
Just as you need daily bread for your body, you need God’s Word to feed your heart, mind and spirit. God offers wisdom, guidance and peace through Scripture. Reflect on this verse and the beautiful gift that we are blessed with. Every word comes from the mouth of God.
Dear Lord, thank You for filling my heart with the richness of Your Word.

Guidance for Difficult Times

The angel said to her, “Hagar, Sarai’s servant, where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I’m running away from my mistress, Sarai,” she replied.—Genesis 16:8 (NLT)
Sometimes, despite careful planning, life takes a turn and leaves you feeling out of options. Like Hagar, there will be times when you must surrender to a difficult situation. If you face an undesired outcome, take a deep breath and pray for God’s help in accepting His will.
Lord, I pray for wisdom and discernment as I seek to do Your will.

The Importance of Being There

I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.—2 John 1:12 (NIV)

The Power of Personal Experience

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.—2 Corinthians 1:3–4 (NIV)
Someone said, “The courage it takes to share your story might be the very thing someone else needs to open their heart to hope.” Reflect on your life, and ask Jesus to help you find ways to inspire others and give them hope by sharing a personal experience.

All Is Well

The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.—Song of Solomon 2:12 (KJV)
The flowers appearing in spring are a symbol of faith, a beautiful reminder that even though you may be feeling down or out of sorts, the earth is in order and on schedule. If your faith is low and hope seems futile, hold on! God will renew your spirit when the time is right.
Lord, when I struggle, give me the faith to believe. Help me bloom.

Release Your Fear of Failure

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.—2 Corinthians 4:16–17 (NIV)  
Norman Vincent Peale said, “Fear can infect us early in life until eventually it cuts a deep groove of apprehension in all our thinking. To counteract it, let faith, hope and courage enter your thinking. Fear is strong, but faith is stronger yet.” God wants you to let go of your desire to be perfect. Instead, He desires that you learn from your mistakes and work toward being better every day. Striving for perfection will not make you great, but not giving up—will!  
Lord, help me release my fear of failure and go boldly forward.

Who Do You Say He Is?

Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say I am?”—Luke 9:18 (NIV)
Preacher and author Frederick Buechner wrote, “A Christian is one who points at Christ and says, ‘I can’t prove a thing, but there’s something about His eyes and His voice. There’s something about the way He carries His head, His hands, the way He carries His cross—the way He carries me.’” Today, put your total trust in Him.
Dear Jesus, I know that You are the Christ!
