Fix Your Mind on God

I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.—Psalm 16:8 (NIV)

The Love of God

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.—John 1:5 (NIV)

Lord, Your light shines in the darkness and the darkness can never extinguish it.

Focus on Eternity

Don’t be so concerned about perishable things like food. Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that the Son of Man can give you. For God the Father has given me the seal of his approval.—John 6:27 (NLT)

When you are upset, ask yourself if your problem is rooted in a temporary situation. Shift your thinking to the eternal and focus on God. Rather than be consumed with the things of this world, allow the peace of heaven to fill your life.

Lord, help me to let go of temporary worries and hold on to You.

A New Thing

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”—Isaiah 43:18–19 (NIV)

God’s work in your life is greater than you can imagine. Reflect on the amazing things He has already done for you: surprises, blessings, miraculous outcomes when your situation improved against all odds. What is yet to come will be even greater!

Dear God, what new things do You have in store for me? I cannot wait to see.

He Weeps with You

When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. “Where have you laid him?” he asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they replied. Jesus wept.—John 11:33–35 (NIV)

In times of loss, remind yourself that you are not alone. God knows what it feels like to grieve. After Lazarus died, when Jesus saw Martha, He was deeply upset, and He wept. When you are in the depths of sorrow, offer your pain to Jesus, know that He weeps with you.

Heavenly Father, one day You will wipe every tear from my eyes.

Plant Seeds Every Day

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.”—Matthew 9:37 (NIV)

Robert Louis Stevenson wrote, “Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.” Sometimes the simplest gesture or act of kindness can make a difference in another’s life. Ask God to help you become attentive and available to serve Him by planting seeds of love.

Lord of the harvest, I am ready to serve.

Show Unusual Kindness

The islanders showed us unusual kindness. They built a fire and welcomed us all because it was raining and cold.—Acts 28:2 (NIV)

In the above verse, the Apostle Paul experienced unusual kindness from strangers. Have you ever extended a similar kindness to someone in need? God wants you to see the full humanity and value in every person—to lend a comforting hand to those who feel lost, to be a beacon of compassion to those in the cold.

God of grace and compassion, help me to see the precious worth of every person and to be a generous stranger who extends unusual kindness.
