Jesus Reached Out

Sometimes life gets busy - work is exhausting, the bathroom needs to be cleaned and a coffee date is on the day's schedule. It gets to the point where I force myself to read the Bible for a few minutes a day and tell myself I'll spend more time with God next week. But it doesn't take long before I'm distracted, drowning in the day's tasks and forget to ask God for help of any kind.

When Peter was walking on water toward Jesus, he quickly became distracted by the wind and waves. Like me, he began to sink. But as soon as Peter cried out, immediately Jesus reached out His hand and caught him.

I often feel as if I have to make it up to God after being so busy and distracted that I lose sight of Him. But that's not how God works. As soon as we turn to Him for help, Jesus reaches out without hesitation.

When we're unsettled by the chaos of life, it's easy to forget that God is standing in the middle of the storm with us. Jesus asked Peter - Why did you doubt? No matter what we're going through, He is there. He is here. Next to us at that moment, in this moment, ready to reach out and rescue us.

Lord, help me to turn to you in the midst of my busyness and life's distractions. Thank You for always being here, ready to catch me.

The Gift Of Time

A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

My wait seemed shorter because God interrupted my hurry.

Heavenly father, all of the time I have is in Your hands, a gift from You. Please show me how to use it to bring glory and honor to You.

Sometimes our to - do list needs to wait.

Riding The Rapids

God won't abandon us in rough waters. We can trust Him to guide us through the rapids - our deepest fears and most painful troubles - because He also loves us and promises to be with us.

Thank You Lord, for being my guide through troubled waters. Help me to trust You even when the journey is wild and scary.

God steers us through difficult times.

An Enduring Happiness

Happiness is doing things God's way; a fact that can be verified every day. Those who look to him are radiant!

He will give you Himself - the only source of goodness - and with it, enduring happiness.

Help From Heaven

If you are in the midst of a challenging situation, you can send out an SOS to God. Although help will look different than the assistance Joshua received, perhaps help comes through an unexpected job, an understanding doctor, or peace in the midst of grief. Be encouraged that these are ways He is responding to your call for help and fighting for you.

Thank You Father for walking with me on this difficult journey and hearing me when I cry out to You.

That Smiling Man

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.

Lord, help me to tackle everything on my plate today with Grace, Enthusiasm and Joy.

Generous Givers

God - the Creator, Sustainer & Owner of everything.

When we recognize God owns it all, we can commit to grateful, generous and faithful giving for the benefit of others. And we can trust the Lord - will provide - and may even use the generosity of others to help us when we're in need.

Lord, please help me remember You own it all.

God Gives First!

You Love Me?

How have You loved us?

We all go through difficult seasons in life. We may be tempted to question God's love for us during those times. Let's recall the many ways He's shown us His unfailing love. When we stop to consider His goodness, we find that He is indeed a loving Father.

Lord, You have shown tender care for me over the course of my life. You've been present with me in difficult seasons. Help me to always remember Your love.

Our heavenly Father corrects us and comforts us.

Learning To Trust

Every Good & Perfect Gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

Loving Lord, please help me to trust You to take care of me Today, Tomorrow & Forever!

Don't worry about tomorrow - God is already there!

Love Without Limits

The Lord is good to all; He has compassion on all He has made. The Lord is trustworthy in all His promises and faithful in all He does. The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down. The Lord watches over all who love Him.

God's love for us always endures and it never fails!

Your love for us that never changes, never fails and never ends!

Sinners Like Us

God pursues us in our restlessness, receives us in our sinfulness, holds us in our brokenness.
