Serving God’s Kingdom

Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”—Luke 9:62 NIV

Jesus tells us that to follow His Word, you must look ahead and focus your actions on serving the Kingdom of Heaven. When someone needs your assistance, do you make an excuse as to why you can’t help? Instead, make time to be of service knowing that your actions are following Christ.

Dear Lord, guide me to nurture those around me with a listening ear and a helping hand.

Reflect His Heavenly Light

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.—2 Corinthians 4:6 NIV

Devote yourself to developing a closer relationship with God. Are you reflecting His light by showing kindness, patience and generosity with others? When God’s love shines in your heart, you spread His qualities here on earth.

Lord, thank You for shining Your light in my heart and showing me that sharing Your love is the best way to truly feel it.

Are You Ready?

And to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.—Ephesians 4:24 NIV

Jesus is calling you to let go of any emotions, wants and desires that are harming your well-being. Now is the perfect time to reflect on who you want to be. Release your old agendas, leave your old and tired ways behind and begin anew.

Heavenly Father, I am ready for a new life that is focused on serving You.

Who Am I, Lord?

But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”—Exodus 3:11 NIV

In the above verse Moses’ response to God’s call is directly opposite to Isaiah’s, “Here I am! Send me” (Isaiah 6:8). Yet it’s understandable that when called to do something outside of our comfort zone, we doubt our own ability. God has given each of us unique skills and gifts to fulfill our purpose here on earth.

Dear God, because of Your power and grace I have the strength and confidence to complete the task You have called me to do. Here I am! Send me.

Love in Action

Lord, do not hold this sin against them.—Acts 7:60 NIV

Search your heart. Is there someone you need to forgive? Jesus wants you to release the burden of anger and resentment and open your heart to feeling the freedom and peace that comes only through forgiveness.

Heavenly Father, I want my life to be centered on Your love in action. Help me have the grace to forgive others who have harmed me.

Actively Seek the Lord

But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.—Deuteronomy 4:29 NIV

What a beautiful promise. Seek God and you will find Him! But just as one should enjoy the journey and not just the destination, seeking God is an important and active part of your faith. Make it a practice to actively seek God in your life. The more you search for Him and His good works, the more blessings you will discover.

Almighty God, my faith journey brings me countless blessings—among them is the truth that when I seek You, I feel Your presence.

To Glorify God

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.—Matthew 5:16 (KJV)

Striving to be your best when only you and God know is a beautiful reflection of your faith. Dwight L. Moody famously said, “Character is what you are in the dark.” Your secrets reveal what you really think of yourself and your relationship with God.

Lord, I long to glorify You with good works that only You and I know about.

God is Love

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.—1 Corinthians 13:13 NIV

The Bible teaches that God is love, and when love is our motivation—when our actions are guided by selfless love—we truly experience His divine and perfect love. By connecting to God in prayer and feeling the Source of all love, we can shine a bit of heaven onto those around us.

Dear Lord, I long to be generous with my love, extending it to everyone in my life.

Lively Hope

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.—1 Peter 1:3 KJV

With Easter behind us, it may seem as if the daily grind has taken over and your spirit is weary, but the victory of the cross isn’t behind us at all! Through the resurrection of Jesus, God has promised us “lively” hope. When our human hopes turn to dust, God’s promise abides.

Oh, Lord, open my eyes to see Your gifts. Please remind me of the triumph of Your resurrection in my daily struggles.

Peace from God’s Word

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.—Colossians 3:15 NIV

To relax your spirit fill your mind with God’s Word. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid” (John 14:27). Let these verses sink deeply into your mind and spirit.

Heavenly Father, shine Your radiance on all aspects of my life. Your Word is balm for my soul, a blessed oasis of rest and renewal.

Let His Presence Light Your Day

Let the light of your face shine on us.—Psalm 4:6 (NIV)

Make a mental list of times in your life when you experienced the grace of God’s watchful care. Recall moments when you were worried and despite your dark thoughts, things turned out fine. He took care of you.

Heavenly Father, shine Your heavenly light upon me. Guide me to peace, happiness and contentment.

Stories of Grace

Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.—Hebrews 12:15 (KJV)

In Isaiah 38:15, King Hezekiah wrote: “I will wander my whole life with a bitter spirit.” Yet when Hezekiah called out to God, his bitterness is exchanged for wholeness. When your mood needs improving, look to the Lord and become whole.

Lord, when I become consumed with bitterness, I will call out to You and trade it in, for the wholeness of Your grace.
