Matthew 6:32, NLT  These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your Heavenly Father already knows all your needs. We all have plenty of reasons to live worried and stressed, trying to fix everything in our own strength. That’s overwhelming. Come back to a place of peace. Your Heavenly Father knows all your needs. He knows what you’re facing. He knows the dreams He’s placed in your heart...

Hebrews 13:21, NLT ...may he equip you with all you need for doing his will. May he produce in you, through the power of Jesus Christ, every good thing that is pleasing to him. By definition to equip means- "to provide someone with what they need to fulfill their purpose." But not just any purpose, a God-given purpose. A purpose that is much greater than anything you could have ever aske...

Title: uncommon commitment: brought uncommon favor Ruth 1:16, NIV But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.”   In the Scripture, Naomi’s husband died unexpectedly, then ten years later both of her married sons died. When Naomi decided to move back to Bethlehem, h...

Psalm 23:6, NKJV Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life... In today's Scripture, the word "goodness" means God's favor. David was saying, "Surely favor follows me all my life." In effect, he was saying, "Favor is keeping enemies from defeating me. Favor is bringing promotion and opportunity." He didn't just think about it. He...

Habakkuk 2:3, TLB Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day! You may have struggled in an area for a long time, but don't have a limited mindset. You have to give God permission to increase you. It starts in your thinking. I...

1 Corinthians 15:58, NKJV Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. Too many people are wishy-washy. They pursue their dreams as long as they're getting good breaks. Their commitment to friends and family or in the workplace is based on things going their way. When things get difficult...

(Hebrews 12:2, NLT) Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. The way that Christ endured the pain of the cross was that He knew it was a part of the process of redeeming us. He knew it wasn’t permanent. He wasn’t going to stay on the cross. He kept looking forward to the joy that was coming. What am I...

(Matthew 6:22, TLB) “If your eye is pure, there will be sunshine in your soul.” When we have an attitude of faith—we’re positive, hopeful, expecting good things—that pure eye is letting sunshine into our life. But when we go around stressed out, worried, or thinking the clouds over our health or finances are never going to change, that’s stopping the sun. It’s causing more clouds to roll in, more...

1 Samuel 17:26, NIV David asked the men standing near him, “Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?”  When David went out to face Goliath, his brothers made fun of him, his father didn’t think he had what it takes, and King Saul said he was too young and inexperienced. No one believed in him, but he didn’t go out to prove to them who he was. It wasn’t...

Genesis 50:20, NLT  You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people. For thirteen years it seemed as though Joseph’s life would end in a deep deficit. He was sold into slavery by brothers who should have loved him, falsely accused of a crime and put in prison by someone who should have trusted him, had a promise bro...

Proverbs 25:28, NKJV  Whoever has no rule over his own spirit is like a city broken down, without walls.  In the days of King Solomon, if the city walls were down, the opposition could come in and take the city. In the same way, if you don’t keep the walls up around your spirit, if you don’t rule your spirit, everything is going to get in. If your child is off course, instead of trusting that God...

Matthew 6:26, NIV “Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?”  We all face challenges in life that we don’t know how they’re going to work out. How am I going to get well? How am I going to meet the right person? How is this dream going to come to pass? But here’s the key: The HOW...

(Psalm 147:3, NKJV) He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. In Genesis 3 after Adam and Eve fell into sin, when God came looking for them in the garden, they hid in fear and shame. Sometimes when we sense that God is looking for us, we think, “I don’t want God to find me. I’m ashamed of my weaknesses and mistakes. I already feel condemned enough.” This is where we mistake who God rea...

Psalm 84:11, NLT For the LORD God is our sun and shield. He gives us grace and glory. The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. God not only knows everything you need in the future, but He knows when you're going to need it. He's the Source. He knows where all the good things are. He has already lined up everything you'll need. He's not going to with...

(Psalm 107:2, NKJV) Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy. In Luke 1, when an angel told Zechariah that his wife, Elizabeth, was going to have a baby, he said, “How can I be sure of this? We’re too old now.” The angel said, “It’s going to happen, but now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens.” That’s how powerful words ar...

(Romans 8:38, NLT) "And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love..."   No matter how many weaknesses you think you have, you are very special to God! You are beautifully, wonderfully, and uniquely made, and you need to celebrate His handiwork in you! Too many times, people compare their lives to others rather than looking to God's promises and celebratin...

Proverbs 4:25, MSG Keep your eyes straight ahead; ignore all sideshow distractions. Watch your step, and the road will stretch out smooth before you. When you isolate a negative experience and focus on it, it may not make sense. It's like when you have a piece to a jigsaw puzzle that doesn't look like it fits anywhere. You're sure the manufacturer made a mistake. It's an odd sh...

 Psalm 30:5, NKJV Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. You may have shed some tears of sadness over what hasn't worked out, over dreams that haven't come to pass, over disappointments, over the loss of a loved one. The Scripture says that God is going to turn your mourning into dancing and those tears of sorrow into tears of joy. It may not have happened yet, but...

Luke 22:44, NLT He prayed more fervently, and he was in such agony of spirit that his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood. When Jesus was about to be crucified, He went to an olive grove called the Garden of Gethsemane, which literally means "the place of pressing" The only way to get the valuable oil out of the olives is to press them. It was here that Jesus was under suc...

Joshua 1:9, NIV Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. In Joshua 1, Moses had died, and it was time for Joshua to step into the leadership role and take the Israelites into the Promised Land. What God had in store for him was undoubtedly scary. He had defeated opponents on the way, but the...

Psalm 121:4, NIV Indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. You've heard the phrase "The Night Shift." It refers to people who work during the night. Today's Scripture says that God never sleeps. He doesn't just work the night shift, He shifts things in the night. You may be in a night season, and you may not see how the difficulties you face can wo...

Psalm 27:1, NIV The LORD is my light and my salvation--whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life--of whom shall I be afraid? Are you worrying about your children, stressed out over your job, or discouraged because of a disappointment, thinking it's not going to work out? We need to live with the attitude of the psalmist David. He had all kinds of things come against him--people...

John 11:40, NIV Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?" Even after Lazarus had died and been in the tomb for four days, Jesus said to his grieving sisters, "Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?" They soon saw a resurrection. You may be facing a sickness, and you're worried. God is saying, &...

Psalm 73:16–17, NIV When I tried to understand all this, it troubled me deeply till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny. The writer of Psalm 73 was struggling to understand why God was allowing the people who were coming against him to prosper. He was discouraged. Yet he tells how in the sanctuary, he got a new perspective. He heard people thanking God and telling...

1 John 4:4, NIV You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. We all have times when we feel like we're surrounded by difficulties, surrounded by a sickness, or surrounded by debt. When you're in a difficult time, the enemy will do a lot of talking. He'll tell you, "I have you surrounded. You&...
