The Fruitful Life

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 we prepare for Thanksgiving, it is the perfect time to thank God for giving us a fruitful life. Because of Him, we can weed out worry and cultivate trust and contentment. When we make Him the center of our life, we experience the true essence of living.

Heavenly Father, thank You for helping me weed unhealthy worries and thoughts from my life.

Jesus Knows

Because he himself suffered when
he was tempted, he is able to help
those who are being tempted.—Hebrews 2:18 NIV

Whatever trial, loss or temptation you are going through, Jesus knows. There is nothing too hard, painful, or devastating that He does not identify with. When you bring your suffering to Him in prayer, He feels Your pain as you feel His comfort.

Dear God, thank You for Your glorious joy that inspires
me to live generously.

The Master Carpenter

When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. “Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.—Mark 6:2–3 NIV

Jesus skillfully constructs our lives. Our experiences sand away the rough edges and smooth out our character. He invests His time, love and tender care in completing each and every one of us.

Lord Jesus, You are the Master Carpenter shaping us into works of art.

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.—James 5:16 NIV

There is a reason that God asks us to confess our sins to one another. It’s not to shame us but rather to share our burdens. When we are honest about our trials and troubles with others, we help one another heal.
