better and happier. Be the living expression of
God’s kindness:
kindness in your face,
kindness in your eyes,
kindness in your smile.”

Does not become tired or grow weary;
There is no searching of His understanding.
And to him who has no might He increases power.
And vigorous young men stumble badly,
Will gain new strength and renew their power;
They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun];
They will run and not become weary,
They will walk and not grow tired.”

Hebrews 6:18-20 (ERV)
“These two things cannot change:
God cannot lie when
he says something, and he cannot lie
when he makes an oath.
So these two things are a great help
to us who have come to
God for safety. They encourage us
to hold on to the hope that
What a firm foundation we have in Jesus Christ. He is total truth and nothing but the truth! It is wonderful to know that all the words that proceed from God are truth and when He says He will do something, He will always keep His Word. Today let us meditate upon the fact that our hope in Jesus is the anchor of our soul.
Where do you look to when you want answers? When you are feeling like you are standing on shaky ground, how do you make your feet sure again? It is only the Word of God and our hope in Him that can establish our foot steps and make them sure and solid. We must always look to where we know the truth is, for His truth is what we can build upon. Our foundation will be strong and immovable when we build and anchor our hearts upon the Word of God. Today I encourage you to look to the Lord of all hope and the One that has promised to anchor our souls.

them to, and day and night are always meditating
on his laws and thinking about ways to follow

“Many plans are in a man’s mind,
Today I want to encourage your heart to establish your plans to fit hand in hand with His purposes. May we be useful in the Master’s hands to perform His desires and not our own. I must share something I overheard once while I was shopping that goes along with the truth of being in a position of being useful. It made me giggle to myself for my Mother used to say this to me a lot. I was in a store and a mother was struggling trying to carry something and she looked at her child and said, “Don’t just stand there, make yourself useful and help carry something!” How true this is for us as spiritual children! Let us make a conscious effort to have our “hands full” of doing the will of God and accomplishing His purposes for He has a great work He desires to accomplish through us. As we stay aware of how He desires to use us, we will not stand empty handed, we will allow Him to make us useful as we live to do His will only and give Him glory!
This is a good way of teaching the kids to forgive each other(Matt. 5:7). I like the power of this gentle scripture and lesson… Thanks!!
thank you Lisa for sharing. I am blessed that this was a blessing to you!
Ralph &I are really enjoying your devotional together.
So glad this is blessing you both!
Oh, what a wonderful reminder! I want to break the magnifing glass of worry and trust God for each step I take.
It is interesting Selena how the more we worry the bigger and more magnified things get in our minds. Oh how important it is to trust our God for the smallest of things! Thank you for sharing!
