"One Minute Meditation" for Tuesday, June 23

READ
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. (Psalms 32:8)

Throughout the years I have had the pleasure of having mentors who provided me wisdom and guidance. There is no greater mentor than our Lord. He promises to help us navigate this often challenging world. He experienced everything we face in our daily lives. He knows the joys as well as the problems of relationships. He was received by some and rebuked by others. He felt the pangs of hunger and thirst. He was exhausted and tired. He celebrated at a wedding and found joy when the children came to Him. Jesus is no stranger to the ups and downs of life in a sinful world. To learn from Him we need to listen to Him. Each day He calls us into His Word that we would hear Him, watch Him, and learn from Him.

REFLECT
Do you have a mentor? Who do you mentor as a Christian friend?

RESPOND
Prayer: Thank You, O Lord, for being, not only my Savior, but also my mentor. Give me the wisdom to follow Your Word, Your will, and Your way. In Your precious and powerful name I pray. Amen.

"One Minute Meditation" for Monday, June 22

READ
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. (James 1:5)

Sometimes we think we have wisdom, so we don’t ask God for His insight. We become upset with others and lose our temper, believing they deserve a good tongue lashing. We hold a grudge because we feel that person, who offended us in such an egregious manner, doesn’t deserve our forgiveness. The truth is, we lack wisdom. Too often we become controlled by our sinful desires, which is contrary to God’s wisdom. As we pray for God’s will to be done, we seek His wisdom that we may conduct our lives in such a way that we honor Him and respect others.

REFLECT
How often do You seek the Lord’s will when making decisions?

RESPOND
Prayer: It is so easy for me to follow the selfish ways of the world, O Lord. I need your wisdom that I may live a productive life that serves You as I serve others. I pray this to Your glory. Amen.

"One Minute Meditation" for Sunday, June 21

READ
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. (Proverbs 3:5–6)

What is the “straight path” the Lord promises to those who trust in Him? It is not a life with no problems or pains. It is not a life devoid of disappointment, danger, or disaster. The “straight path” is a life that walks in the way of the Lord. It is a life that replaces our will with His will. The “straight path” of the Lord is contrary to the crooked path of the world. The world’s path is selfish and results in ruptured relationships. The Lord’s path provides a positive relationship with Him, which translates into a healthy relationship with others.

REFLECT
Is your path “straight” or “crooked”?

RESPOND
Prayer: O Lord, I humbly ask that You grace me with Your Holy Spirit that I may seek Your will and Your way. Keep me on Your straight path of obedience to Your Word. I ask this to Your glory. Amen.

"one Minute Meditation" for Saturday, June 20

READ
Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! (Luke 12:24)

Have you ever opened a closet filled with shirts and pants, dresses and sport coats, socks and shoes, and said, “I’ve got nothing to wear!” Have you ever opened a pantry or refrigerator and exclaimed, “There’s nothing in here to eat!” We’ve all been there. It’s part of a culture that can’t get enough. Perhaps our challenge is two-fold. First, we often fail to remember that our closets and our pantries are filled with gifts from God. God has given us the abilities and talents to work that we may purchase food to nourish us and clothing to protect us. Second, we fail to be thankful for the abundant blessings we receive each and every day. The next time we open a closet or refrigerator, let’s say, “Thank you, Lord!”

REFLECT
How often do you thank the Lord for all the material gifts you possess?

RESPOND
Prayer: Lord, when I pray, “Give us this day our daily bread,” remind me that I am asking You to bless me with all I need to support my body and life. Keep me thankful for Your generous heart and Your bountiful blessings. I pray this in Your name and to Your glory. Amen.

"One Minute Meditation" for Friday, June 19

READ
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. (Psalms 23:1)

As a child, I wondered why anyone would think this was a good Bible verse to memorize. Who would not want Jesus as their Good Shepherd? This is probably why the “God’s Word” translations reads, “The Lord is my shepherd. I am never in need.” The New Century Version puts it this way, “The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need.” No matter how you say it, we need to live it. Ours is a culture of constant desires. We have plenty of material goods, but we find ourselves wanting more, and bigger, and newer, and better. We need to keep in mind that if we lost every material possession, we would not be in want because we have the one thing needed for a peaceful life today and life eternal. We have Jesus, our Good Shepherd, who laid His life down for His sheep.

REFLECT
Is your greatest contentment found in the things of the world or in Jesus?

RESPOND
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I thank you for Your death that forgives my sin and for Your resurrection, which points me to life eternal. Keep me from the temptation to believe my worth is found in my wealth. Give me eyes to see You as my treasure. I pray this in Your holy and precious name. Amen.

"One Minute Meditation" for Thursday, June 18

READ
My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)

We live in a culture of great material blessings. We have solid homes with lots of room. We have modes of transportation that can easily move us from Point A to Point B. We have phones that connect us to anyone, anywhere, at any time. We have expendable income allowing us to fulfill our needs and our dreams. Our American prosperity is what made my trip to India so eye opening. I was given a tour of a local school where I met many of the students. The children were excited to sing songs and the administrators were excited to explain their ministry to an impoverished community. Later in the day I had some free time so I walked through a community referred to as “The Slums.” The streets were mud. The homes were constructed with discarded materials of brick, cardboard, corrugated steel, and other scavenged items. While I walked the muddy paths that cut through the community, a young girl grabbed my hand. She recognized me from the school. She escorted me to her home that she was proud to show me. It was no bigger that a small bedroom of an American suburban home. There were no walls, no kitchen, no furniture, and no beds. There were blankets for sleeping and two bowls. One bowl for the rice and one for the warm milk delivered by the government. There was one other item in that home—a picture of Jesus. It was their prized possession, illustrating the riches of God in the person of Jesus, which was theirs through faith.

REFLECT
Do you care for your God-given faith as much as you do your home?

RESPOND
Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your blessings showered on me. Help me recognize my true riches are found in You. I pray this in Your holy and precious name. Amen.

"One Minute Meditation" for Wednesday, June 17

READ
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you (Matthew 6:33).

God has done everything for our eternal salvation. He also gives us everything we need to have joy and peace in this world. This is what He promises in today’s Bible verse. What the Lord warns against in this section of Matthew’s Gospel, is becoming so connected to this world and so consumed by the things of this world, that we forget the heavenly blessings the Lord so richly provides. When we put the things of the world above the blessings of faith, forgiveness, and salvation, we rob ourselves of the peace and purpose that come in a relationship with our loving Lord. When we put the Lord and His blessings at the center of our lives, everything else falls into place.

REFLECT
Do the things of the world or the things of the Lord stand as the center and foundation of your life?

RESPOND
Prayer: Protect me, O Lord, from making the things of the world the center and foundation of my life. By the work of Your Holy Spirit in my heart and mind, keep Your blessings as my prized possessions. I ask this in Your name. Amen.
