Travel with God

The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.—Psalm 37:23 (NLT)
Everyone knows the saying, “Man plans, and God laughs.” Just when you think your life is on a straight trajectory, circumstances can change in an instant. God knows what your future holds. So when it feels as if your life has suddenly gone off-track, hold on to your faith and travel where God calls you to go.
Lord God, I’ll do my best to be faithful and flexible, to follow Your lead wherever it takes me.

Celebrate Our Freedom

I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I have set my heart on your laws. I hold fast to your statutes, Lord; do not let me be put to shame. I run in the path of your commands, for you have broadened my understanding.—Psalm 119:30–32 (NIV)
Hooray ! Today is Independence Day. As you celebrate our country’s freedom, reflect on the many blessings God has showered upon us as a nation. See beyond the country’s imperfections and shortcomings to the hope and potential of America.

Strength in Balance

A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?—Ecclesiastes 2:24–25 (NIV)
Are you looking to lead a more balanced life? Perhaps work or stress has taken over time that would be better spent enriching your spiritual life. When you feel off-center, turn to His Word. Scripture will help guide you to surrender your will for His, and in doing so, you will release your stress, have more energy and discover the perfect balance.
Dear Lord, fill me with Your Spirit—and guide me to take the time I need to focus on You.

Transformed by Grace

And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven.—Acts 9:3 (KJV)
In this passage , Saul was transformed from a persecutor of early Christians to a follower of Christ. God has the power to change people. Is there something in your life that you would like to transform—a negative way of thinking or a bad habit? Pray for Him to reveal His light of truth in your life.
Lord, help me to hear and heed Your call for me to change. Remove my impurities and use me for Your good.

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.
