Most of us won’t be asked to die for someone. But we all face everyday moments where choosing to love like Jesus could cost us something. Showing up for someone when you’re already stretched. Covering someone’s need when it hits your budget. Sharing Jesus when it could cost you.
He was crucified for our sins. God gave His Son so we could have eternal life with Him. Thank Him and remember this. Give yourself totally to Him. Amen.
So, as you think about the trouble in your life—whether it’s your health, relationships, finances, or other difficulties—remember: You can still have peace, you can still take heart, and you can still be comforted because Jesus Christ has already overcome the world!
Jesus’ example allows us to run the race of life with endurance and focus. So if you find yourself tired and wanting to give up, take some time to pray and think about Jesus who gave everything for you. Ask God for endurance to continue to grow in your faith, and finish well.
As you think about what it meant for Jesus to die in your place and erase your sins and mistakes, what does it trigger inside of you? Worship? Gratefulness? Are you compelled to go and tell others? Today, ask God to show you how you can serve others like He has served you.
Think of one small step you can take to share this good news with someone who doesn’t yet know Jesus. This free gift is great news for every single person, and we are given the privilege of sharing it with everyone.

If you’re in a season where you feel like you've lost hope, or you’re simply discouraged and tired, spend some time praying. Ask God to be your Shield in this difficult time. Pray for Him to restore your joy and hope, and to lift your head, as you continue to follow Him.

Leads come in, but nothing consistent happens with them
Sales reps “do their own thing”
You’ve hired people who looked good—but don’t perform

God can be sought and found when we seek him wholeheartedly. Neither strange lands, sorrows, frustration, nor physical problems can break our communion with God.
When we draw near to God, He will draw near to us. And when He draws near, He transforms the way we think, renews our minds, restores our souls, and leads us down paths that are for our good and His glory.
Spending time with God is a basic spiritual need of ours, but it is a powerful time that can change the course of our life and the center of who we are. Take time to be with Him now, but also come up with a plan that helps you continue to seek God every day.
When we mess up, our first response should be to go to God and remind ourselves of the truth of the cross. While earthly sorrow pushes us down, godly sorrow brings us to Jesus—where we can know we are forgiven and made new.
When we shift our minds from our overwhelming fear to God’s overwhelming faithfulness, everything changes. So, today, if you’re scared, anxious, terrified, overwhelmed, or uncertain, speak this out loud: When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.
As you contemplate Hebrews 4:9, consider: What it would look like for you to fully enter God's rest in your daily life. How can you practice releasing your burdens and anxieties to Him?
Take some time today to consider God as your Shepherd, who cares for you and protects you. Thank Him that His goodness and love will never end but will follow you every day of your life.
There’s a battle happening all around you—a battle for your heart, for your mind, for your soul. But greater is the One living inside of you than the one who is living in this world.
Take some time today to pray about the direction your life is headed. If there are situations you’re unsure about, ask God to give you wisdom. Allow Him to direct your paths. And as you talk to Him, get in the habit of reading His Word every day, grow in His knowledge and wisdom.
