A psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.

Psalm 23:1-6

Happy Mother's Day.

This Mother’s Day, whether or not you have an earthly mother to celebrate, and whether or not you have kids of your own, I hope we all will take a moment to celebrate the unconditional, unstoppable, eternal love of God. And when we’re tempted to prove ourselves, may we instead choose to remember that God has already proven His love for us, and there is nothing left to prove.

Be content with what you have; for he has said, “I will never leave you or forsake you.” So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?”
– Hebrews 13:5-6

Those living in this world see the tangled, senseless mess of war. But there will be a day when God’s people get to the other side, when we are saved, and when we realize that in Jesus we are and always have been blessed.
Matthew 24:13
"Jesus said: But he who endures to the end shall be saved."

I pray that You would help me to look towards Jesus who suffered for my sake. Draw me closer to him through this. Lord, I pray that you might help me, by the Holy Spirit, to trust in the promise of Scripture that all things work together for the good of those who love You. Heavenly Father, I know there is no greater good than knowing You. Help me, Lord, in my suffering to grow in relationship with You. Amen.

Jesus,

I grieve that the torture and sorrow You endured on the cross were necessary to save humanity.

Because You didn’t want me enslaved to fear, anxiety, or sin—You sacrificed Yourself so that Love could win.

It’s Love that hung upon the cross and gave up everything to rescue me. “It is finished” was a cry of victory, because You defeated everything that held me in captivity.

Because of Your sacrifice, I can experience intimacy with You forever. Thank You! Help me to know You more, and to reach people with the hope found in You.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Now as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside and said to them, "We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will turn him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!" — Matthew 20:17-19

Thoughts on Today's Verse...
One thing the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) make clear: Jesus' death on the cross was no accident — it was no tragedy outside the will of God. Jesus knew the challenge that awaited him in Jerusalem, and he walked into his horrific challenge to deliver us from the same fate he suffered. His trust in the Father's "third day solution" opened the doorway for God to secure victory for Jesus and all of us who build our futures through our faith in him (Colossians 2:12-15, 3:1-4).
The question for us is straightforward: Will we face our challenges with a faith that the Father's "third day solution" assures us of our triumph in the face of our mortality?

My Prayer...
Holy God and Loving Father, thank you for Your plan to cover my sin with Your grace by the death of Your Son. Thank you, Jesus, for assuring me of my victory over sin, death, hell, and the evil one through Your "third day" solution! May I live today aware of Jesus' sacrifice and confident of His "third day" victory for me. May my life reflect that coming victory in the way I live each day. In the name of Jesus, my sacrificial and conquering Savior, I pray. Amen Amen.🙏
