May we give our Heavenly Father quality offerings of love and obedience. May we always pour out on Him our very best.

“If I perish, I perish.” –Esther 4:16 There comes a time in all our lives when we are faced with a choice to love something or someone more than we love ourselves. May Esther’s commitment be mirrored in us.

The term “merit” literally means excellence, worth, or a claim to respect and praise. How infinitely valuable Jesus is! His merit, His worth is beyond compare.

Paul encourages us to “grow up” in all aspects into Jesus. May we be willing to grow up, and bear His real likeness in all things.

Our Heavenly Father is the most generous Person in the universe! May we reflect His generosity by walking in an attitude of abundance.

Are we stable? Are we consistent? The Lord will cause us to be rock solid in our lives as we surrender to His Will.

Psalm 136 repeats, “For His mercy endures forever” twenty-six times. How we need the mercy of God! How we need to share the mercy we have received!

People have a totally different concept of status than God does. May we always think in terms of His Kingdom and His concepts, rather than our longing to have status in the eyes of the world.

As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. (Proverbs 23:7) Aligning our thoughts with God’s Word will transform our hearts into His likeness. May we be intentional in our thought patterns today, and surrender them to Jesus.

In our busy world, we are rarely quiet. We rush through practically everything, including our Bible study times. Take time to meditate, ponder, and absorb the Word into your heart today.

How big is your issue? How big is your hope? How big is your God? Let’s walk in big hopes and aspirations today. Nothing is impossible with our God!

Secrets are shared when we trust, and when we are trustworthy. The Lord will share His secrets with us if we are willing to receive them.

Our Father is still able to make iron float and transform impossibilities into reality. What piece of iron needs to float in your life today?

In a world of violence, we sometimes lose the importance of tenderness. Jesus was extremely strong, but extremely tender. May His grace find a welcome place in our hearts.

A friend of mine used to say, “The hand that feeds, leads!” The Lord feeds our hearts, our souls with His Word and His Truth. He provides for us physically, spiritually, and emotionally. He is our faithful Leader!

What a relief to know that our Heavenly Father will never play mind games with us, manipulate us, or lead us down some path to our destruction. He is absolutely faithful and true.

The devil walks about “as” a roaring lion, but Jesus IS the Lion of the tribe of Judah. It’s no surprise that the devil is always a cheap imitation of reality, pretending to have power, authority, and dominion. But every knee will bow to the Name of Jesus alone!

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus! Look full in His wonderful face. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the Light of His Glory and Grace.”

Are you observing your life or living it? Are you truly ALIVE, walking in the Spirit? The Lord is calling you to share the reality of His resurrection power in every aspect of your life.

There are times we are absent, even when we are physically present. May our hearts learn to be totally present in the Presence of God as we spend time with Him.

The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are contrite in spirit. (Psalm 34:18) Absolutely nothing in our lives is broken beyond His repair—even our hearts.

Technology is a tool—but do we own the tool, or does the tool own us?

No one likes to lose! But loss is the currency of the Kingdom of God. If we lose our lives, we find them; if we humble ourselves, we are exalted. If we die to ourselves, we are resurrected. “Loss” is the key to life!

Don’t forget how to dream—and dream big! Those dreams, just like Joseph’s, may be the seeds of hope for your promise-filled future.

It has been said that perception is reality. The truth is, perception frames each person’s concept of reality. May the Lord lead us into relinquishing our perceptions for the truth of His Word. In so doing, our reality will align with His.
