Today's daily devotion
God’s Will Power
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness.—2 Peter 1:5-6 (NIV)
This time of year can test your self-control, whether it’s a decadent dessert that threatens your diet or overspending on the holiday season. A large part of self-control is about will power or more specifically, “God’s will” power. By focusing on Him and asking for His help and strength you can stand firm when you feel tempted.
Lead me today, Lord, into Your Light and away from my temptation.

Rest for Your Soul
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”—Matthew 11:28–30 (NLT)
