Shake the Dust Off
If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.—Matthew 10:14 (NIV)
His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.—2 Peter 1:3 (NIV)
Jesus offers us His power, so that we may live our lives to bring Him glory. Lift your eyes to Him when you are striving for a goal that feels too big or struggling with the doubt of stretching outside your comfort zone. His power is at work in your life.
Lord, when I lack the confidence to follow Your plan, guide me to believe in myself. Help me find the courage that comes from knowing You are with me.
If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.—Matthew 10:14 (NIV)
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.—Psalm 119:62 (KJV)
Worry takes a tremendous amount of energy and often robs us of sleep and joy. Pray for the strength to follow the Lord’s instruction and let go of your fears. Take His words to heart—“Fear not!”—and feel a spark of excitement grow into joy.
