Word for Today:

3 John 1:2 NKJV

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

Reflection

God cares about you—all of you: spirit, soul and body, from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet.

Matthew 10:30 (NKJV) tells us that “the very hairs of your head are all numbered.”

If God cares enough to know and number every strand of hair on your head, you can be confident that He cares about the health and wellbeing of your entire body.

Word for Today:

Matthew 15:26 NKJV

But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.”

Reflection

Jesus calls healing “the children’s bread.” So, come to the table with faith and confidence, and feast on what your Heavenly Father has freely provided for you.

Word for Today:

Exodus 15:26 (NLT)

He said, ‘If you will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all his decrees, then I will not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the Lord who heals you.’

Reflection Point

Do you know God only as the One who can heal or as The LORD who heals you?

Word for Today:

Genesis 1:31 NKJV

Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good..

Word for Today:

Nehemiah‬ ‭13‬:‭31‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

..Remember me, O my God, for good!

Reflection

As you journey through life, you’ll face opportunities to compromise God’s standards in order to fit in, gain approval, or avoid criticism. Like Nehemiah, choose faithfulness over compromise. Remember, people’s approval is temporary, but God’s approval is eternal.

Word for Today:

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭23‬:‭26‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Shouldn’t the one who cleans the outside also be concerned with cleaning the inside? You need to have more than clean dishes; you need clean hearts!

Reflection

Nehemiah understood that rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls without restoring the people’s hearts would have left the work incomplete. Like Nehemiah, don’t focus only on rebuilding the outward areas of your life, allow the Holy Spirit to restore and transform your heart also.

Word for Today:

‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

Reflection

Nehemiah didn’t only build the walls of Jerusalem, he built people who could handle responsibility. Ask yourself: Who am I intentionally building and investing in to the glory of God?

Word for Today:

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭8‬:‭11‬ ‭ERV‬‬

So now finish the work you started. Then your “doing” will be equal to your “wanting to do.”

Reflection

Is there something God has called you to do that you’ve become discouraged about or tempted to abandon? Remember, God is glorified not only when you begin, but when you faithfully complete the work He has entrusted to you.

Word for Today:

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭41‬:‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Even my close friend, someone I trusted, one who shared my bread, has turned against me.

Reflection

Even though betrayal hurts, we must never allow it to break us or make us bitter. When people disappoint you, be comforted by the fact that you can trust God because He remains faithful no matter what.

Word for Today:

Matthew‬ ‭20‬:‭26‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant..

Reflection

Although He is the King of kings, Jesus washed His disciples’ feet. He healed the sick, fed the hungry, welcomed the outcasts, and ultimately gave His life for us on the cross. If Jesus is your Lord, are you following his leadership example?
