(Job 27:6, NIV) "I will maintain my innocence and never let go of it; my conscience will not reproach me as long as I live."   God speaks to us in many ways. One way is through that "small voice" we call our conscience. In many cases, that's the voice of the Holy Spirit prompting you to be good to someone, or it might be warning you about a situation that otherwise seems f...

(James 1:17, NKJV) "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning."   God is the provider of every good and perfect gift. Although you may have some obstacles in your path right now, thank the Lord for the strength He gives you to overcome them. Thank God continually for all of the gift...

(Matthew 19:26, NIV) "Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."   Conquerors don't give up when they lose ground. They march forward with confidence knowing that they will claim victory. It should be the same with us in our daily lives. The Bible says you don't have to worry—you are an overcomer in Christ! When worr...

(Matthew 11:28, AMP) "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation]."   Does your soul need a refreshing today? God is constantly inviting us to step away from the hectic pace of life and come to Him to find rest for our souls. Are you facing challenges in your relationships...

 (Romans 10:17, NKJV) "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Do you want more faith? Well, the good news is that your faith in God can grow and increase. Notice the Scripture doesn't say, "Faith comes by having heard the Word of God one time." It's hearing—in the present tense. Sure, God's Word can transform us in an instant, but most o...

(Psalm 127:2, NIV) "..for he grants sleep to those he loves." The Lord longs to pour out blessings on you constantly—even when you sleep! Understand that God has His hand on your life even in the midnight hour. He wants to speak to your heart and restore your dreams. He is taking care of those things that concern you. When you cast your cares on Him and trust Him to work out every detail...

(1 John 3:17–18, ESV) "But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth." You are the hands and feet of Jesus in the earth. The Lord wants to bless you today so that you can be a blessing to others. He wants to work throu...

(Isaiah 61:3, NIV) "And provide for those who grieve in Zion...a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor." Do you need a new garment today? I’m not talking about a physical garment. I’m talking about what’s covering your mind and emotions. When you feel that heaviness and discourag...

(Matthew 12:33, NASB) "Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit." God wants you to spend time doing meaningful things. But how can you tell if what you're doing is really the best way to spend your time? One way to find out is to take an inventory of your life to see where your time is going. It’s not on...

(Proverbs 16:9, NIV) "In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps." This world is a fast, busy place where people want things "my way, in my time, and for my life." Many people think that the world will give them what they are trying to get, and it's up to them to take what they want. But that's simply not true. Yes, you are called...

(Matthew 17:20, NIV) "...Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Great biblical characters didn't live lives of courageous deeds every day. They lived most of their lives the same way you do, taking care of the day-to-day things. Take the...

(2 Corinthians 5:17, NLT) "...Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun."   When you gave your heart to Christ, you were changed on the inside. That's what it means to be "born again." The Holy Spirit now lives inside you. You didn't change on the outside; the change is in your spirit. You may not feel any differe...

(Mark 11:26, NASB)  "But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your transgressions."   No one promised that life would always be fair. People are imperfect; we make mistakes and bad decisions. You may have been hurt by others in the past, but the important part is how you choose to deal with that hurt. Failing to let go of the past and holding on to gru...

(1 Peter 1:8, NIV) "Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy."   If the circumstances of life have taken away your joy, today is the day to get it back. You weren’t meant to live this life feeling drained, depressed, and down. God wants you to be excited about your future a...

(Isaiah 46:9–10, NLT) "...For I alone am God! I am God, and there is none like me. Only I can tell you the future before it even happens. Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish." Many people pray very boldly for things that never come to pass; it's only later that they realize what a blessing it was that God did not answer their prayer! It’s easy to look at ou...

(Proverbs 4:23, NIV) "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." Your eyes, ears and mouth are all gateways to your heart. What you watch and listen to goes into your heart whether you realize it or not. Similar to a computer, what you allow into your heart programs your thinking and words, which ultimately determines the direction of your life. Indeed, your...

(Jeremiah 1:5, ESV) "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you" You are approved by Almighty God! When He created you in His image, He stepped back and stamped His “Made by Almighty God” approval on you. You are the apple of His eye, and His favor surrounds you like a shield. You did not choose God, but He chose you and He is pleased with you—...

(Matthew 11:29, NIV) "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Sometimes the pressures of life can cause unnecessary stress. So many people these days lose sleep worrying about things or people in their lives, but God wants us to live a life of rest and peace. When Jesus walked on this earth, He took time away f...

(Psalm 17:8, AMP) "Keep me [in Your affectionate care, protect me] as the apple of Your eye…" God loves and values you so much today. You are the apple of His eye; you are His most prized possession! In this day and age, people are considered to be important for so many different reasons—titles, positions, possessions, where you go, and what you drive. But God’s value system is very diff...

(1 Corinthians 6:11, NLT) "But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." Something supernatural happens on the inside of you when you call on the name of the Lord. First of all, the Bible tells us that God actually makes His home in your heart by the Holy Spirit. Not only that, but wh...

(Isaiah 40:29, NIV)…  "…He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak…" Have you ever felt backed into a corner about a particular situation, and you couldn’t see a way out? We’ve all felt trapped and overwhelmed by the circumstances of life at one time or another. Be encouraged today because the Bible says in Isaiah that when you cry to God for help, as soon as He h...

(Haggai 2:23, AMP) "…I will make you [through the Messiah, your descendant] like a signet ring, for I have chosen you..."   We don’t often hear about signet rings anymore, but in Bible times they were very significant. The signet ring was used to identify the message or messenger and the authority they had. In other words, you knew something was from the king because it was marked by his...

(Revelation 21:5, AMPC) "And He who is seated on the throne said, See! I make all things new…" When God puts a dream in your heart, when He puts a promise on the inside, He deposits within you everything you need to accomplish that dream. He wouldn't give you the desire to do something without giving you the ability to fulfill it. In fact, the Scripture tells us that God gives us th...

(Mark 4:39, NKJV) "Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, 'Peace, be still!' And the wind ceased and there was a great calm." What do you do when the storms of life seem to be raging against you? One time Jesus was with His disciples in a boat out on the water when they encountered a great storm. The disciples were very afraid, but Jesus on the other hand, was...

(Colossians 4:3, NLT) "Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about His mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains." Paul was arrested and imprisoned for preaching the gospel. Everything in his surroundings shouted “limitations,” but instead of looking at his surroundings, Paul kept his eyes on the limitless God. He kept looking for th...
