Over the Horizon

He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters for a boundary between light and darkness.—Job 26:10 (NIV)
Every day has a new horizon filled with unique opportunities and situations beyond your vision. Yet you can embrace every moment ahead, trusting that the One who created all things is lovingly guiding you forward.
When I can’t see what lies ahead, Lord, remind me that You can and are looking out for me.

Time to Forgive

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving.—Ephesians 4:31–32 (NIV)
The heavy weight of anger, resentment and regret can sap your strength and leave you feeling exhausted. Ask for God’s help to release negative feelings and let go of the past. Recognize the important life lessons you have learned from complicated relationships and challenging situations—and look to the future with courage.
Sometimes, Lord, forgiveness is hard for me. Remind me how self-destructive it is to hold grudges.

The Rainbow Connection

Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.—Genesis 9:16 (NIV)
“Why are there so many songs about rainbows?” is a question posed in a popular children’s song written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher. Rainbows make us stop and take in the pure majesty of beauty in the sky. More importantly, they remind us of God’s promise to Noah to never destroy the earth by flood again.
Lord, thank You for the many ways you connect us to the triumph of mercy and the victory of grace.

Sometimes we get caught up in everyday stresses and commitments and forget that God created each one of us for a purpose. When you feel lost and distracted, focus on God. Ask for His help to keep you centered on your purpose.

The Life You Want

Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”—Mark 9:24 (NIV)
Are you living the life you want? If not, why not? Is doubt stealing your desire to go after your dreams? Have faith and trust that your dreams come from within you and God. Release all doubt, and believe that you can achieve what your heart desires.
Father God, when doubt tempts me to settle for something I am not happy with, strengthen my faith and help me to believe.

Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?—Matthew 6:27 (NIV)

Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.—Isaiah 1:17 (NIV)
