Scripture Reading
Luke 12:30
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

Inspiration
Our Creator knows our hearts; He knows all our hopes and dreams. He understands what will make us happy by bringing comfort and peace to our lives compared to what will devastate us. God is much wiser than we are, and since He recognizes the difference between what we want and what we need, He knows how to bless us. Sometimes we become upset when we do not get our way, and we must remember that God knows our hearts better than we do. He loves us and makes sure we have what we need without unnecessary distraction.

Prayer
Dear Lord, You are our Master and Creator. You know our hearts better than we do, and we thank You for providing what we need and not what will cause us harm. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Scripture Reading
Psalm 147:11
The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

Inspiration
God is loving, kind, and merciful. To say we fear Him means we serve Him with reverence and awe. We respect our Creator and choose to live our lives in a manner that pleases Him, seeking to rid our souls of the sin that separates us. God's love has no boundaries, and we praise Him for bestowing it upon us when we are undeserving. We lift praises to heaven with joy and celebration of the salvation He invites us to receive.

Prayer
Dear God, We praise You with joy and thanksgiving. You love us unconditionally, and we will continue to serve You with reverence and amazement. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Scripture Reading
Luke 10:16
He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

Inspiration
God takes it personally when we disrespect people. We treat others as we treat ourselves because we will hurt God when we hurt those around us. We become frustrated when waiting in long lines to check out at the grocery store or be seated at a restaurant table. Instead of taking our frustration out on strangers, we must take a moment to analyze the situation. We can show God's love to an employee who's had a difficult day by treating them with kindness and respect rather than impatience or anger.

Prayer
Dear God, We want to show the world how You love us unconditionally. We can achieve this by treating others with kindness and compassion. Please open our eyes and give us opportunities to share Your love with others each day. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Scripture Reading
James 4:6
But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

Inspiration
God extends unearned grace to us consistently. We hold our heads high as we attempt to live a Christian lifestyle, forsaking the sinful nature we despise. Unfortunately, we stumble daily. We covet others' belongings as we scroll through social media, and we allow bitterness a stronghold when we don't get our way. We must strip away our egos and bare our souls to the Lord with honesty and humility. He will continue to grant grace when we repent with genuine hearts.

Prayer
Dear God, We do not deserve forgiveness. We come to You and ask forgiveness with humble hearts this day. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Scripture Reading
1st Peter 5:6
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

Inspiration
No one enjoys making mistakes, or worse, having to admit it. We unintentionally think highly of ourselves, especially when attempting to walk the straight and narrow path of righteousness. We make excuses for our actions or blame someone else when we sin. Humility is essential as we come to the Lord for repentance. We must be honest and admit to our wrongdoings, and we do this by understanding we are not perfect.

Prayer
Dear God, We come before You with humble hearts. Please forgive our sins and direct us as we live our lives according to Your will. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Scripture Reading
Genesis 2:3
And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Inspiration
We can't imagine the work and planning God devoted as He created this beautiful world. On the seventh day, God rested. After putting forth a hard day's labor, we are also encouraged to rest. Our earthly bodies need time to restore themselves and rejuvenate, so we return to work physically and mentally refreshed. Rest allows us to remain alert and ready to put forth the best effort in our work, school, or home environment.

Prayer
Dear God, Please help us understand it is acceptable to rest; so our bodies remain rejuvenated and refreshed for future endeavors. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Scripture Reading
Colossians 3:22
Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;

Inspiration
Scripture addresses our work ethic, and we must pay attention! Often, we are frustrated with our employment situation due to minimal wages paid or work atmosphere. We disagree with our employer's decision-making or the tasks we are assigned. God is present in each moment. He sees our actions and hears each thought. We will put our best effort forward by showing reverence instead of working the bare minimum with disrespectful hearts.

Prayer
Dear Lord, We are thankful for our employment opportunities and will honor You by working hard and communicating with respect and dignity. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Scripture Reading
Luke 6:12
And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

Inspiration
Our prayer life is crucial regarding our relationship with God! Conversing with God helps us discover more about His heart as He bestows wisdom upon us. His knowledge directs us with decision-making and restores us through our hardships. Prayer strengthens our faith as we continue to seek a relationship with God, and He will guide us as we study His Word. We will make prayer a priority in our daily routine and studies.

Prayer
Dear Lord, We come to You in prayer to strengthen our faith. We seek renewal and guidance as we continue walking with You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Scripture Reading
Mark 2:16
And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?

Inspiration
As Christians, we must always remain humble. We are sinners just like everyone else, and Christ died for all of us. Sometimes, we look down on others and feel our morals are of a higher standard. We unintentionally think more highly of ourselves and forget that all sins are equal and we are no better than anyone else. Jesus met people where they were; He did not wait for them to come to Him. We must live according to His illustration and share the Good News of salvation with everyone. We will remain humble as we are all sinners seeking the Lord.

Prayer
Dear Lord, Please forgive us when we unintentionally think more highly of ourselves. We desire to remain humble as we share the Good News with our world. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
