In the Bible, God clearly calls us to be critical thinkers, yet not to be critical people. In this devotional, let's look at the difference between the two.

There are many worthy causes and goals we could give ourselves to. It's excellent for each one of us to prayerfully seek out some plans and intentions we will commit to. In Psalm 37:5, we read some sound, straight forward instructions that are ever helpful as we live each day.

The Lord is so very kind to us! As we deeply reflect on His kindness, may it then stir us to follow His lead and graciously offer kindness to others with our words and actions.

The Lord’s love is unimaginably deep and wide enough to nourish us if we just sink our roots into His love.

God has so clearly commanded us to be full of and to choose gratitude toward Him. The fact that He has called us to this truly matters. Let's ponder the deep significance of giving thanks to God!

As Christians we absolutely need reminders of what we must keep doing if we are to stay healthy and strong in our walk with God. One clear reminder we're given is to continue loving one another. Let's reflect on this important command in Hebrews 13:1.

In Psalm 119:126, we read of the Psalmist being overcome with emotion to the point of tears. What caused him to cry? Let's look at this passage, reflecting on what breaks God's heart, and on what should break our hearts too.

Thankfully God's Word answers that question and others that get to the heart of where that question comes from.

There is so much power in, "A word spoken at the right time..." It's very important that we be reminded regularly that God chooses to work through us to share a good word with another! Let's reflect on this truth from Proverbs 25:11.

Every one of us needs to listen to others and especially to "rub shoulders" with godly brothers and sisters in Christ so we can hear from them and they can hear from us. Proverbs 12:15 speaks of the critical wisdom from God on listening to and learning from others.
