Bring Joy to Others
In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”—Acts 20:35 (NIV)
My heart is not proud, Lord, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me.—Psalm 131:1 (NIV)
Charles Spurgeon said that Psalm 131 was “one of the shortest psalms to read, but one of the longest to learn.” In the psalm, David tells us that pride causes stress. When we surrender and let go of things outside of man’s understanding or control, we turn to God with humble hearts and trust Him with the faith of a child.
Dear Lord, may I walk and grow with You every day of my life.

My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees.—Psalm 119:71 (NLT)
