Think about a word written for your eternal benefit. Be easily transformed by the renewing of your mind. God gave us a remarkable blueprint for love.  1 Corin 13:7 Tells us of a love that bears, believes, hopes, and endures through all things. This description isn’t just poetic; it’s a radical call to action for every follower of Christ. It challenges us to love in a way that goes beyond our human tendencies, to love as God loves us. This love is more than just enduring difficulties; it’s actively bearing the burdens of others, choosing to believe the best in people, maintaining hope in the face of adversity, and persevering through challenges with grace and resilience.

It’s a love that doesn’t give up when things get tough but grows stronger in the face of obstacles. Consider how Christ exemplified this love perfectly. Even in His darkest hour, He bore the weight of our sins, believed in our redemption, hoped for our future, and endured the cross for us. His example shows us that this kind of love is not only possible but also transformative. As we navigate our day, let’s reflect on how we can embody this love in our own lives. How can we bear with one another in kindness, believe in the good despite our doubts, maintain hope when things seem bleak, and endure trials with unwavering faith? By doing so, we don’t just follow a command; we live out the very essence of our faith.

“The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.” Our steps are ordered by divine guidance into a flood of blessings. David’s written word, is prophetic. So too, we speak with humble reliance and belief in our Shepherd. May our voice align to speak what God wrote about us in the Book of Life. Our heavenly Father is watching and He is pleased. May our focus seek to see God at work in all things. We are truly magnets for His favor because we move with reverence of the One who sent us. Walking in step with the Holy Spirit, we are assured that we are making a positive, eternal impact. With ease, He builds us up in our holy faith and we move in greater grace to honor God. Our personal assignment is sacred and we submit to the Spirit of God. We reflect order, and our daily discipline creates a pattern of obedience. Praiseworthy is God’s faithfulness as He orders our every action. Our new life is a result of divine intention. Our posture is ever confident as we represent the Master’s intention. We walk as one sent, we work as one assigned, and we finish as one chosen. We trust the One who leads us by His amazing grace and His lavish goodness. AMEN

Live every day knowing that God is ever watching you. Set the Lord before you

Choose to set the Lord before thee and delight in knowing — that such daily communion is pleasing to our Father. “God is with us.” Immanuel never departs, His eye is ever upon us at all times. He sees us when we forget that His ears even hear our unspoken thoughts.  To perceive this truth, we gladly submit to His constant, pervasive presence. ❤️ Psalm 16 “Lord, You alone are my portion and my cup; You make my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night, my heart instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore, my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices; You make known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.”
