One Verse Devotional

What if we could ask God what He wanted for us in 2020? What if we could ask Him how to be successful in the new year? I believe He has already given us the answers. Today, Matthew 6:33 gives us the key to having a successful new year.

Life can get so busy that even when we watch or read something, we can completely forget it just a few minutes later. Our minds are going, going, going. It can be especially true when we engage with God. But David reminds us to hide God’s Word in our hearts. Stay focused. Allow Him to speak into your life. Life does get crazy, but if we allow God’s Word to be hidden in our hearts, those verses will come back to us right when we need them the most.

One of the greatest attitudes you can have is to have a teachable spirit. It will help you in every area of your life!

Who are you letting speak into your life? Who do you seek for influence? What kind of media are you engaging with? The Book of Proverbs tells us to surround ourselves with wise influence or else we will suffer harm.

The Bible makes us an amazing promise: If we acknowledge that Jesus is God, God will live with us and spend time with us.

God will strengthen your heart. He will provide the energy, power, and even rest you need to live a life that pleases Him.

Today is #GivingTuesday and God loves a cheerful giver!

This is a season of doing good for family and others. It is a time of giving. Unfortunately, we can also become burned out when trying to do too much without taking care of ourselves. The Apostle Paul understood this. He encourages us, in Galatians 6:9, that we do not become weary, tired, or worn out when doing good. Maybe you need to pause and take care of yourself.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Today, I’m thankful for you. I appreciate your support and allowing me to speak into your life. I couldn’t do this without you. Thank you!

Being thankful is God’s will for your life

[Week of Thanksgiving] When we ask God for things, we have to be careful not to treat Him like a genie in the lamp. There is one, simple way to avoid this: Pray out of a heart of thanksgiving. Giving thanks is an act of worship and shows respect and honor for our God.

[Week of Thanksgiving] What is the foundation of thanksgiving? Jesus gave Himself as our sacrifice, and His grace is reaching more and more people. It is this Grace that allows Thanksgiving to overflow in our lives as worship to God.

"As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him." -Psalm 18:30

Jesus lived a perfect life, but he was also tempted. He understands our weaknesses and can even empathize with us. He isn’t upset with us. He understands, and He is here to help.

Sometimes, we simply don’t know how to pray. Have you been there? When you look to heaven, throw up your hands, and say, “Lord, I don’t know what to pray. I just need you.” Romans 8:26 tells us that the Holy Spirit steps in, and literally, prays for us.

The message of the Bible is simple: Do good to others both inside and outside of the Church!

We serve a LIVING God! He is the great Conqueror and the great Overcomer. He holds the keys to death and hell!

"The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing." Psalm 23:1

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God" Ephesians 2:8
