Our Lord is our ultimate example of love and humilty, of obedience and sacrifice. We have other examples like Paul in the Bible of Godly character. There are people in our lives who follow and love God well. Today may we choose any of these examples to follow and pattern our lives after. Let's live lives pleasing to God.

When we meditate on the greatness and bigness of God, we are strengthened and encouraged. We see our problems and challenges as small compared to Him. We understand that God will work all things out for His glory.

All God wants is for us to abide in HIm. We don't have to fight to earn His love. His love has been freely given to us. God wants us to just open ourselves up to receive all the love that He has already been given. Today may we just be ourselves with God and know that we are fully loved.

When the Lord calls- what is your answer? May we be able to be willing and available to go and be where and who the Lord calls us to. We are not perfect but we can be used for His glory. Yes will always be the blessed answer.

When we trust God and commit our thoughts and plans to Him, he sets our thoughts in a secure place. God helps us to stay established in Him. No matter wht challenges come, we can think right and with faith when we have given everything over to the Lord.

Longing for God brings Him close. When our God is close, we have strength. We can trust Him to lift us up and carry us We can trust Him to hear our cry. We can trust Him to lead us to victory. He gives us His grace and is our salvation.

The Lord is the only one whose steps are fit to follow. We want to walk close. We want to follow His leading. Obeying God will always lead to victory and blessing no matter what it looks like and no matter the storm. He is our safety.

When remain in God and His Words in us, we are promised that we are granted what we ask for. May we learn and experience what this means. May our prayers align with what God wants for us so that our desires are granted. God keeps ahis promises.

The Spirit lives in us to give us life. The Spirit also leads us. Are we following? Let us pray to not only be Christians but live like Christians who allow the Spirit in us to truly give us real and power filled lives.

Even when things feel like or are really dying, God is with us. In each valley of the shadow of death, His presence brings life. He will comfort and strengthen.
