Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Matthew 5:4 (NASB)

Reflection

In the final moments of life, nobody ever asks for things. What do they ask for? They ask for people, because eventually everybody learns that life is all about relationships, not things. We could reduce a lot of stress in life, if we could learn that sooner. Life is not about achievements or accomplishments. Life is about relationships. Develop a relationship this week.

Reflection

In our lives, the Holy Spirit should guide us. How does the Holy Spirit guide us? By reminding us of what you’ve read in the Bible. When we memorize Scripture, God’s Word is stored in our minds, and the Holy Spirit helps us remember. If you aren’t memorizing Scripture, start this week.

Reflection

When you make mistakes as a believer, God doesn’t get mad at you. God doesn’t want to get even with you. God doesn’t start planning to mess up your life. When you know Jesus Christ as Savior, God always acts in mercy toward you. What person in your life needs to hear about the grace and mercy of God?

1 Corinthians 3:16 (NASB)

The eyes of the Lord are in every place, Watching the evil and the good.

Scripture Memory

These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.
1 John 5:13 (NASB)

A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.
Proverbs 15:1

Reflection

Often people quit their faith journey early because everything they’re carrying wears them out.
That’s what happens to us when we try to do too much. We need to learn to say “no” to some things
that are good because they keep us from doing our best. Think about everything you are carrying and consider saying “no” to something good so that you can say “yes” to something better.

Scripture Memory

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name.
John 1:12 (NASB)

There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.
Lamentations 3:22-23

Reflection

God doesn’t want you to make foolish mistakes. He doesn’t want you to hit dead ends or go through
failure after failure in life. God wants you to succeed. He wants you to make wise decisions with your
time and your money and your relationships. It’s not like you’re waiting on him for his help. He’s
waiting for you! How can you surrender to Him this week and choose to do things His way instead of your way?

Scripture Memory

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9 (NASB)

The Lord’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23

Reflection

Do you want to be at peace? Do you want to be like Jesus? It’s got to be an “inside” job. It has to be the
fruit of God’s Spirit inside you. Jesus is gentle and humble. When you let him share your burden, you
will walk with him in a close relationship. You will learn how to be gentler and humbler, and he will
give you rest and peace, not stress and pressure.

Scripture Memory

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8 (NASB)

He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.
Proverbs 13.20

Reflection

Sometimes a setback is rooted in your own actions or choices. You did something that hurt another person. You disobeyed God. And now you’re facing a storm because of it. In other cases, the storms we face in life aren’t because of something we did. Instead, we suffer because of other people’s poor decisions. When someone else’s decision turns your life upside down, God uses it for his glory. When someone else’s mistake puts you in a difficult situation, God works through it anyway. Reflect on your situation. If you have made a wrong choice or decision, confess your sin and repent. If not, trust that God will work things out for good.

Scripture Memory

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6.23

Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who deal faithfully are His delight.
Proverbs 12.22

Reflection

Everything God does for you, through you, to you, and in you, he does because he is a good God. God’s goodness in your life isn’t based on how good you are. It’s based on God’s character, not yours. Everybody needs God’s goodness. Everybody wants God’s goodness. But we must understand and believe it to experience it. In his goodness, he blesses us with sustenance and balance, resilience and guidance, confidence and assurance, influence and abundance, benevolence, and inheritance. He makes it all available to his children because of his grace and his good character.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 3.23

Hatred stirs up strife,
But love covers all transgressions.
Proverbs 10.12

Reflection

Thanking God in advance is a big step of faith. When we have the faith to thank God ahead of time, miracles happen. The more thankful we are, the more God works in our lives. The Bible says that God inhabits the praise of his people. He uses our thanksgiving as an instrument of power in our lives. So, what are you grateful for?
