From the first time Mary is mentioned in the Bible, her life is not the way she planned. Through everything, she praised God.

Sometimes storms hit us out of nowhere! We have no control of how big they are or the circumstances surrounding them. We find out we are not prepared! We can rest knowing that with God as our “King over the flood” He’s got it covered! So, “be still and know” that He is GOD.

Rahab was about as far from God as you could get in OT times, but her faith in the one, true God saved her and her family. Have you ever felt like you’ve wandered so far from God that you can never return? God will always welcome you back!

Marina brings us some motivation from 1 Peter. Suffering on Earth is going to happen. Steadfast faith helps to get us through these times and look on to the eternal reward.

Abigail was a woman who showed great wisdom and decision making skills. We make decisions every day of our lives, so having wisdom to apply to situations is extremely important. Proverbs 4:7 “in all your getting, get wisdom, get understanding”

Taking your thoughts captive against unhealthy thoughts can take work. Your thoughts affect your attitude and outlook. When you think on Godly things, your attitude will be significantly better!

This woman we read about in Matthew 9, Mark 5, and Luke 8 showed great faith when she came to Jesus for healing. Jesus cared enough to call her out for this instead of letting her sneak away after she touched His garment. How do we get such great faith? What can halt our faith?

Today’s #MondayMotivation comes from 1 Chronicles 16:12. Remember the wondrous works He has done. It is easy to get distracted. So many times we have a million things to do and we forget to do them. But one thing we should never forget is how much God has done. He created the world, he made you, He loves you, He protects you, and works in ways we cannot even understand.

How do you want to be remembered? One verse defined how we remember Tabitha: “full of good works and charitable deeds”. Living a righteousness life is an important part of Christianity, but part of that is looking for opportunities to serve and give.

Marina brings us our #MondayMotivation from Romans. God’s love is everlasting! We sometimes see those qualities as negatives, but remind yourself that God loves everything about you! If you struggle with feeling unloved or alone, remember that God loves you and is ready to take you under His wings of comfort and He will lift us up no matter what we have done. What an AMAZING God we serve!!
