Give Faithfully

And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.—Hebrews 13:16 (NIV)

Giving doesn’t have to be a burden or an obligation; instead, it should be an expression of our love, humanity and purpose. The best gift we can give ourselves is the joy we receive when helping and giving to others.

Dear God, help me to give generously to the causes I believe in and remind me that everything I give in charity, no matter how small, makes a difference.

Why the Wilderness?

Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.—Matthew 4:1-2 (NIV)

The above verse boldly states that Jesus was led to the devil by the Spirit. Ever wonder why after being baptized Jesus needed to be tested in the wilderness? It’s because these difficult trials are a part of walking with the Lord. Jesus’ experience shows us that when God brings us to the wilderness, it’s for an important and eternal purpose.

Heavenly Father, I am a Christian, a child of God and no matter what trials I face, I will obey Your Word.

Wipe Out Self-Doubt

Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”—Mark 5:36 (NIV)

Thorn in the Flesh

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.—2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)

When the Apostle Paul asked God to take away a “thorn in the flesh,” God said no. Why? Because Paul’s pain was being used by God for a purpose. When you serve God despite your weaknesses and struggles, you show others the grace of His glory.

God of All Goodness, Your power is made perfect in my weakness. Your grace is sufficient for me.
