Take Your Trials in Stride

Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.—Matt hew 4:1–2 (NIV)

Going through difficult trials is part of walking with the Lord. Jesus’ experience shows us that when God brings us to the wilderness, it’s for an important purpose—and it’s up to us to be strong and courageous, to rely on faith to see us through.

Heavenly Father, every difficult experience teaches me to have endurance, to be steadfast in my faith and to trust that You will lead me to better days.

Nudges from God

But Rehoboam rejected the advice the elders gave him and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him.—1 Kings 12:8 (NIV)

God gave us His Spirit to nudge us in ways we can’t always explain—a gut feeling, a stranger who says something that directly relates to your problem. When your faith is strong, it becomes easier to notice when the Spirit is leading you.

Lord God, thank You for the creative ways You touch my life and reassure me that I am loved and cared for.

Set Your Mind on Things Above

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.—Colossians 3:1–2 (NIV)

Pleasing the Lord

On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts.—1 Thessalonians 2:4 (NIV)

The Power of Humility

All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another.—1 Peter 5:5 (NIV)

St. Augustine wrote, “If you should ask me what are the ways of God, I would tell you that the first is humility, the second is humility, and the third is humility. Not that there are no other precepts to give, but if humility does not precede all that we do, our efforts are fruitless.” A humble heart is essential to spiritual growth.

Lord, help me to walk humbly with You. Replace any feelings of pride or arrogance with love of service for Your glory.
