Rock-Solid Promises

For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.—Malachi 3:6 (KJV)
When the world seems cold and chaotic, remind yourself that God will never let you down. His promises are rock solid, and His faithfulness is forever. The best part is He loves you with all His heart.
Lord, every day of this new year is an opportunity for me to experience Your great love.

Turn the Other Cheek

“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.”—Matthew 5:38–39 (ESV)
Jesus teaches that instead of retaliating when someone wrongs you, forgiveness is a better way. The next time you find yourself wanting to get even with someone, reflect on this verse and rejoice in changing your ways and becoming a better person. When you forgive, your heart grows stronger and your spirit grows by responding to future offenses with mercy and grace.
Dear God, it’s not easy to turn the other cheek, but I am trying my best to forgive as You forgive.

What Good Is It?

What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?—Mark 8:36 (NIV)
This verse is a reminder of what happens when you focus on selfish ambitions and pursue material things over your relationship with God. What good is having all the money in the world if you are spiritually bankrupt? If you find yourself putting too much importance on the things you own, turn to this verse and pray for God to right your thinking.
Lord, help me to live generously and trust You with my finances.

The Secret Place of the Almighty

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.—Psalm 91:1 (NKJV)
Prayer is an amazing power! When you make God a conscious part of your daily life through prayer, meditating on His Word and surrendering to His will, you enter the secret place of the Almighty.
Lord, when I am tired, You restore me. You take me to Your magnificent sanctuary, Your secret place.

The Right Path

Again and again I sent all my servants the prophets to you. They said, “Each of you must turn from your wicked ways and reform your actions; do not follow other gods to serve them. Then you will live in the land I have given to you and your ancestors.” But you have not paid attention or listened to me.—Jeremiah 35:15 (NIV)
Every morning is a fresh start with a new opportunity for you to take the right path. Know that God’s love will support you through whatever challenges you face. When you need help prioritizing your day, check in with Him.
My Father in Heaven, guide me to use my time for things that will have lasting value.

God’s Good Will

The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.—Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)
Listen to the voice deep in your heart, and be guided by God’s wisdom. Steer away from things that are not in your best interest, even if they are tempting, and make habits and choices that align with your best life.
Heavenly Father, You are my guide. Help me to choose You and to follow Your way.

Travel with Joy

A voice of one calling: “In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.”—Isaiah 40:3 (NIV)
When the coming days seem like a desert, barren and vast with no clear path or direction, do not lose hope. Trust in God. Welcome His love into your heart. Feel His presence inside you, and know that because of this, you will be able to travel any journey with joy.
Lord, when I feel hopeless, guide my focus back to You. Lord Jesus, when I feel lost, You save me.

The Sweet Fragrance of Prayer

The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand.—Revelation 8:4 (NIV)
This verse gives a beautiful image of your prayers rising before God’s throne. When you pray, picture your prayers ascending to meet and please God. Your devotion to Him is treasured. Your prayers rise to meet  Him—they matter!
Lord God, in the words of Psalm 141:2 (ESV), “Let my prayer be counted as incense before You.”

A Season of Waiting

We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.—Psalm 33:20 (NIV)
January can seem like a long month, and sometimes waiting on God’s timing can be frustrating and difficult. Fight the urge to run ahead of God. Pray and wait for guidance on what to do. Be honest and let Him know that you are becoming impatient.
Eternal Lord, help me to accept that waiting is a necessary part of Your plan.

Above All Things

Who shapes a god and casts an idol, which can profit nothing?—Isaiah 44:10 (NIV)
Are there false gods in your life? Are you chasing riches or prosperity? There is nothing wrong with wanting a comfortable life, but are you placing something else above God? God—and God alone—is worthy of worship.
Lord, teach me how to worship and serve You.
