God’s Daily Provisions
Our Heavenly Father, the Creator and Sustainer of life, cares about
us. He longs to give us the very best gifts from His eternal supply.
Our worry for the very things He promises to provide clouds our hearts
with doubt and blocks His deepest blessings for our lives. Take time
today to notice every good gift from God. Thank Him for food, water,
shelter, safety, and the love of family and friends. Thank Him for the
gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
If
that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and
tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you
of little faith? Matthew 6:30 NIV

Love one Another
We are to love others as Christ loves us. How much is that? Well,
He loves us so much that He was totally obedient to God, even unto
death. While He didn’t always condone the behavior of others, He loved
them unconditionally. We all know people who have habits we don't particularly
like; but with God’s help, we can love them anyway.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. John 13:34 NKJV

Guard your Heart
Nobody wants to experience heart failure. But spiritually we all
have a genetic weakness of the heart toward a self cantered independent
nature. Our natural heart bias is not toward pleasing God, but pleasing
ourselves. Only by the transforming grace of God in Christ can our
hearts be renewed. We should give God’s words our full attention. We are
to keep them in the midst of our hearts. Guarding our hearts means
continually aligning our thinking with God’s thinking. We do this by the
study of His Word and taking it to heart so that His truth becomes our
basic outlook.
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23 KJV

Born Again
Jesus made it clear that we all experience physical birth , “that
which is born of the flesh is flesh,” He also made it clear that we must
choose to receive Christ as our Savior to experience the new birth, or
to “be born again” and enter ”the kingdom of God.” Have you received
Christ as your Savior by giving your life to Him and becoming a new
person with motives and goals? If not, let Jesus speak to you even as He
did to Nicodemus in John 3. God’s arms are always open regardless of a
persons age or spiritual condition.
5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. John 3:5-6

Attitude of Humility
Some people focus only on themselves and what they do, even to the
point of exaggeration, and miss the grandeur that is all around them,
especially that found in other people. Conceit is not conductive to
unity. Humility, on the other hand, looks for the best in others, not
with envy but with delight. God can take people with an attitude of
humility and weave a beautiful tapestry of what it’s like to be the
people of God.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, Philippians 2:3 NIV

A Mind To Work
The Christian is never a soloist. This does not mean that soloists
are not Christians. Rather it means you cannot work for Christ without
working with other Christians under the leadership of Christ. Christ is
head over all His work and His workers. Even God works. Jesus said [John
5:17]. Work is divine. If Jesus is not present in our workday affairs
He is rarely present at all. Beware of the sacred and the secular. A
sermon can be secular and a shoeshine rag sacred. Both can be sacred if
Christ is present.
So we built the wall and the whole wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work .Nehemiah 4:6 NASB

Respect Life
It happens so frequently that we’ve almost become numb to the news.
We hear about another murder. We can’t believe the brutality of those
who commit such crimes. We may wonder how the accused person became so
callous to human life. But while it’s easy to focus on the failure of
others. We must consider our own respect for life. Respect for human
life includes civility toward others even those who are opposed to us.
God wants us to respect human life. He will reward those whose lives
display the right attitudes and actions toward others who are also
created in God’s image.
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Romans 8:6 KJV
