This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Joshua 1:8
I will meditate on Your precepts, And contemplate Your ways. Psalm 119:15
Thought for Today
When we approach the scripture with meditation, contemplation, and observation, it leads to actions that bring positive results.
In this path, we will have good success.

Psalm 1:2, But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night.
Thought For Today
Choices, decisions, and change require extra thought. We think, we ponder, and we even obsess over big decisions. Shopping for a car, looking for a new job, pursuing new friendships, and looking for new clothes can temporarily fill our mind so full, it’s as if we are obsessed with the process of deciding.
What is happening to us? We are merely experiencing the impact of “meditating.” God gave us a powerful mind, and He knows the transforming effect meditation has on us.
He told us to “meditate on the word” day and night. What if we did? But, here’s the problem and I think a key reason we don’t do well meditating on the word. We over-complicate it. Why not take a key verse or a few key verses on a topic you are interested in and meditate on those verses each morning and night for a week? Write them on a note card, save them on your phone, or find some way to review them morning and night. Ponder their meaning, pray for God to reveal their deeper truths and pass along to a friend what you are learning.
Experience the power of Psalm 1:2 by meditating on His word day and night.

This Week’s Theme – When You Need Comfort
November 5, 2018
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Thought For Today
God isn’t just a God who can comfort; He is THE God of all comfort. He comforts us in every way possible and any situation. After we experience the comfort God provides, we get to pay it forward and comfort others with the comfort we’ve received.
Prayerfully consider who you might be able to offer encouragement to this week.

This Week’s Theme – Answered Prayers
November 2, 2018
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Hebrews 11:6
Thought For Today
Does your faith look like this? Your day involves an awareness of God in all things.You see His fingerprints on your life. Difficult circumstances eventually lead you to an understanding that even in trials, God is still there and He is powerfully working to grow you and enlarge your ministry to others.
Today’s verse reminds us that it is with “this kind of faith” we find ourselves in a place to see God’s hand in our life, receive answers to prayer and experience His blessings.
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6

This Week’s Theme – Answered Prayers
November 1, 2018
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
Thought For Today
Worry can overcome you in times of need if you allow it. Try this instead. Don’t worry but pray and ask God to meet your needs. Begin focusing each day on things to thank Him for that He has done for you and ways He has already provided. Be bold in bringing your needs to Him in prayer but continue to focus more on HIs power and provision and less on the problems of life.

This Week’s Theme – Answered Prayers
October 31, 2018
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
John 15:7
Thought For Today
Do you walk with God throughout your day? Abiding in Christ is the result of abiding in His word. So, the more you are in the Word, the Bible, the more you are living in Christ.
Wouldn’t it be great if all your prayers ended with a heart full of peace?
If you abide in Christ (by immersing yourself more in the Word), your hearts desires will align with God’s desires for you, and you will experience more answers to your prayers.
