Thoughts on Today's Verse...
I guess for those who find themselves in places they shouldn't be, the abiding presence of God might be a bit terrifying. But I find great comfort in knowing that no matter where I go, from the moment of my conception to the day of my death, God is always there. He is there to guide me and sustain me. Even when I'm in places I am not supposed to be, doing things I am not supposed to do, he is still there. I can turn to him in repentance and receive his grace. I can turn to him in need and receive his strength. I can turn to him and know I am not alone.My Prayer...
Thank you, Father for loving me and personally knowing me. Thank you for the assurance that I won't have to face a day without you. Thank you for the comfort of knowing that I will never face my sorrows alone. Thank you for being the strength that sustains me when I don't have the strength to go on. Thank you that when tomorrow dawns, I will be with you no matter what happens during the night. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

[Jesus said] "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."
— John 13:34 (NIV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Wow, that's a tall order to fill, isn't it? Jesus has just washed the feet of his disciples. Over the next few hours, Judas will betray him with a kiss, Peter will deny him three times, and the other 10 disciples will forsake and leave him when he faces his death. Yet he still washed their feet knowing they would do this. He still goes to the cross for them while knowing they will abandon him. I'm not sure that I can love like that ... yet. However, with the Holy Spirit's help, I will make a renewed commitment to love others who have hurt and disappointed me. I will also seek to mend relationships where I have hurt and disappointed others.My Prayer...
Faithful Father, thank you for your never-ending love. Please fill me with your Holy Spirit and pour love into my heart so I can love others as Jesus has loved me. I need your help to love those who have disappointed and hurt me. O God, I don't want my bitterness or resentment to keep someone from serving you and knowing Jesus' grace. In the name of my loving Savior I pray. Amen.Today's Verse Illustrated

Today's Verse
For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.
— 2 Corinthians 4:5 (NIV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Our message is not ourselves. Jesus is Lord. One day all of creation will acknowledge and praise him. But for the people around us to praise Jesus today, they need to see him alive in us. We serve others in Jesus' name. We are his body -- his hands of compassion, his heart of mercy, and his voice of tenderness. So let's lift up Jesus -- not just by telling others about him, but serving others as his presence in the world.My Prayer...
God of grace, thank you for the privilege of sharing your love with others. Thank you for saving me FROM my sin. Thank you for saving me FOR service to bless others for Jesus' sake. In the name of Jesus, my Savior, I pray. Amen.Today's Verse Illustrated

Today's Verse
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
— Hebrews 13:5 (NIV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We have two choices for our lives. We can either live by faith or by sight. We can trust in God's abiding presence and power or we can depend upon our own resources. But wealth -- like health, status, and reputation -- is subject to decay and disappearance. Only one Source is always there for us and we know we can depend upon him, because he has been there for so many who have come before us. Never is forever and this one "never" I cherish: "Never will I forsake you!"Today's Verse Illustrated

Today's Verse
[Jesus said,] "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
— John 16:33 (NIV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
This world is a place of struggle. Yes, we can live above the struggle for awhile. We can find a way to simply ignore or re-label the struggle for a time. But in the end, the struggle will find us. But in the midst of struggle, we can remind ourselves that our victory is secure. Jesus has won! We will share in his great triumph. In case you didn't know, the final outcome is already determined and Christians "win big" through Jesus. And this victory is a forever win!
