Focus on Jesus
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”—Luke 10:41–42 (NIV)
Today's daily devotion
Be the Calm Voice
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.—2 Peter 3:9 (NIV)
Today, take a moment and align Your will with God’s. Ask Him to help you be more like Him—to be a peacemaker unifying others, to be compassionate and understanding. The next time you face criticism, look to the peaceful response—the one that reflects God’s grace.
Heavenly Father, I humble myself before You and am ready to be the calming voice during life’s storms.
