Daily, we have opportunity to grow in our understanding of God as we enjoy His love and celebrate what He's given us.
In Him, there's a fullness of life that we couldn't have without Him.
And, we have the promise that this relationship will last forever.

Read: Luke 22:14-23

Everytime we gather at the Lord's Table to celebrate Communion, we remember that Christ rescued us from slavery to sin and provided us with eternal life. May the rescuing love of Jesus remind us that His cross is worth remembering --- together.

Read: Jeremiah 31:33-37

We will never finish exploring the immeasurable vastness of the heavens and depths of the earth's foundations. But we can stand in awe at the complexity of the universe and trust the maker of the moon and everything else.

John 8:31-36

Jesus longs to hear those words, "Give me freedom!" With compassion, He awaits the cries of those who are shackled by unbelief or fear or failure. Freedom is a matter of the heart. Such liberty is reserved for those who believe that Jesus is God's Son who was sent into the world to break the power of sin's hold on us through His death and resurrection.

Read: 2 Kings 6:8-23

If we strive to follow Jesus, we may find ourselves in some dicey situations. We may risk our reputation, and perhaps even our security, because we're determined to do what's right. We may lose sleep wondering how it will all turn out. Remember, we are not alone! We don't have to be stronger or smarter than the challenge before us. Jesus is with us, and His power is greater than all rivals. Ask ourselves Paul's question, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31). Really, who? No one! Run toward challenge, with God.

The apostle Paul, as he completes a summary of the ultimate purposes of God, breaks into a hymn of praise (Romans 11:33-36). His words lift our gaze to our sovereign God, whose ways are beyond our limited ability to understand or trace (v. 33). Yet the One who holds all things together in the heavens and on earth is intimately and lovingly involved with every detail of our lives (Matthew 6:25-34; Colossians 1:16).

Even when things seem confusing, God's divine plans are unfolding for our good and for God's honor and glory.

Read: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

This scripture is just as true for us spiritually as it is physically. God never intended for us to "fly" alone, vulnerably isolated. We need relationships with each other for encouragement, refreshment, and growth.
Together, we can stand firm when life's headwinds gust our way.

Living for God now, by the leading of the Holy Spirit, makes the decisions about what is next much easier. "The LORD gives wisdom; . . He holds success in store of the upright, . . He guards the course of the just and protects the way of His faithful ones" (Proverbs 2:6-8).

May God supply what we need for us to live by His guidelines now, and may He guide us into what's next for His honor.

Jesus described His reconciling work in similar terms. "The greatest way to show love for friends is to die for them" (John 15:13). As a result of this sacrificial act of friendship toward us, we can now be friends with Him. "I no longer call you servant . . . Instead, I have called you friends" (John 15:15).
It is an overwhelming thought that we are now God's friends. One worth clapping about. 👏

A feeling of being cared for and supported can help sustain us when we're facing a challenge. An awareness of God's presence and support can especially bring hope to encourage our spirit. Psalm 46, a favorite of many people going through trials, reminds us: "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble" and "Be still, and know that I am God;... I will be exalted in the earth. The LORD Almighty is with us" (vv. 1, 10-11).

Reminding ourselves of God's promises and His presence with us can be a means to help renew our hearts and give us the courage and confidence to go through hard times.

"False prophets" are still with us. "Experts" dispense advice while ignoring God altogether or twisting His words to suit their purposes. But through His Word and Spirit, God has given us what we need to begin to discern the false from the true. As we gauge everything by the truth of His Word, our own words and lives will increasingly reflect that truth to others.
