True Beauty

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.—1 Peter 3:3–4 (NIV)
True beauty comes from having a heart that loves the Lord. By cultivating kindness, humility and gentleness, you please God. Ask Him to help you serve and love others and to serve them with sincerity and compassion so that His love can shine through you.
Glorious God, may I reflect Your love and glory through my inner beauty and be a light to those around me.

Blessed Moments of Rest

So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.—Hebrews 4:9–10 (ESV)

Eat! To God’s Glory

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.—1 Corinthians 10:31 (NIV)
Author Laurie Colwin wrote, “The table is a meeting place, a gathering ground, the source of sustenance and nourishment, festivity, safety and satisfaction. A person cooking is a person giving; even the simplest food is a gift.” When we approach food with gratitude and moderation, we honor God’s gift and use it to nourish our bodies and bring joy to others.
God of comfort, thank You for the delicious food You have provided. Help me be mindful of my choices and use nourishment in a way that brings honor and glory to You.

Straight to Heaven

Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.—Genesis 5:24 (NIV)
Enoch’s life is a testimony to the power of a faithful and intimate relationship with God.
