Content in Him

Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”—Luke 12:15 (NIV)

God wants you to be content in Him, not in possessions. When you feel envious of what others have—a bigger house or a better job—instead of focusing on what you lack, reflect on His blessings. Ask for His help to have a heart of gratitude. He is enough. He is all that you will ever need.

Lord, thank You for blessing me beyond measure.

Put On Your New Self

Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.—Colossians 3:10 (NLT)

The Still, Small Voice

“After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.”—1 Kings 19:12 (NIV)

Scripture speaks of the value of being still. When you are busy and overwhelmed with the world’s chatter, it can be tough to hear Him. Taking the time to sit quietly and be still creates the space around you and inside your heart to listen to Him.

Dear Lord, help me be still so that I may hear Your gentle whisper in my life.

Wait for It

For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come.—Habakkuk 2:3 (NIV)

Some of God’s greatest blessings may feel like an impossibly long time in coming. Though they linger, be patient. Keep faithful and keep looking to Him! He prepares every gift with perfect wisdom in His perfect timing.

Lord, I surrender my desires to Your will and Your ways.

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.—Romans 8:28 (ESV)

When you feel tired and unsure about the future, pray. Ask God to give you the courage to keep going and growing—to see the beauty of the current moment. With His help, all things are possible. Nothing is too hard. His Word is your guide, leading you forward.

The Beauty of His Ways

Can you discover the depths of God? Can you discover the limits of the Almighty?—Job 11:7 (NASB)

Although you can genuinely and personally know God, fully understanding Him is impossible. No matter how hard you try, you cannot fully comprehend His ways. Rather than exhaustively trying to solve life’s mysteries—trust Him! Trust that He knows the beginning and the end. He is leading you to a better life. Rejoice.

Omnipotent God, You are the Alpha and the Omega. I trust You know what is best for me.

Seek His Kingdom

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.—Mathew 6:33 (NIV)

Build Up One Another

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.—Proverbs 17:17 (NIV)

Norman Vincent Peale said, “Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. Be too big for worry and too noble for anger.” When you encounter a person who gets on your nerves, instead of focusing on the negative, look for the good in them. Give them a smile. Be patient and understanding. Extend God’s love.

Heavenly Father, help me build up another with friendship.

The Abundance of the Heart

For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.—Matthew 12:34 (NIV)

Jesus said you can tell what is in a person’s heart by what they speak about. Reflect on your own words and what they reveal about your character. Do you spend time complaining, gossiping, boasting? Turn to better alternatives and instead choose encouraging, compassionate and kind words.

Heavenly Father, help me use words that reflect my heart.

Do the Right Thing

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”—Matthe w 7:13–14 (NIV)

You are faced with thousands of decisions every day. If you struggle to know what the right thing is, or to do the right thing when you might not want to, ask Jesus to guide your actions. He will help you keep on the less-traveled—but more rewarding—road that leads to glory and everlasting life.

Lord, You are my compass and companion, guiding me to become the best I can be.
