God, Our Ever-Present Defender
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.—Psalm 46:1 (NIV)
The seed that fell among the thorns represents others who hear God’s word, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life, the lure of wealth, and the desire for other things, so no fruit is produced.—Mark 4:18–19 (NLT)
As you prepare for Thanksgiving, thank God for giving you a fruitful life. Because of Him, you can let go of fear and worry and find true contentment. When you make Him the center of your life, you experience the true essence of living.
Heavenly Father, thank You for guiding me to see what truly matters so that I experience the blessing of bearing fruit that will last.
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.—Psalm 46:1 (NIV)
I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.—John 10:10 (NIV)
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.—Isaiah 40:29 (NIV)
