Prayer – Lord - every day is a new day—but there are some days that are more challenging than others. I’m standing firm in my faith and courageously put my trust in You.
Lord, as Your child, I never forget the things You have
taught me. I store Your commands in my heart. I know that if I do this, I
will live many years, and my life will be satisfying. I will never let loyalty
and kindness leave me! I’ve got them tied around my neck as a reminder. You
have written them deep within my heart. I am trusting that I will find favor
with both God and people, and that I will earn a good reputation. I trust in You,
LORD, with all my heart; do not depend on my own understanding. I seek Your
will in all I do, and know that You will show me which path to take. From Proverbs
3:1-6.
My child, never forget the things I have taught you.
Store my commands in your heart. If you do this, you will live many years, and
your life will be satisfying. Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie
them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. Then
you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good
reputation. Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own
understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to
take. Proverbs 3:1-6
Meditate. Consider God’s guidance in scripture. Read God’s word and listen to what He is saying.

| Which key opens the door to your heart? Are any of these keys the key to Joy in your life? |
I love this passage today about trusting in the LORD with all your heart…. Trust. That is the confidence and hope that we have that the Lord has the power that is characteristically His. Power. He is above all other beings and creatures. He is to be exalted! As one of Job’s friends reminded him…
Look, God is
all-powerful. Who is a teacher like him? Job 36:22
God wants the best for us. We just have to follow His will
and His ways. We can begin, as Solomon wrote in Proverbs:
Store my commands in
your heart.
Jesus spoke to His disciples about keeping His commandments.
When you obey my commandments,
you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father's commandments and remain in
his love. I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy.
Yes, your joy will overflow! This is my commandment: Love each other in the
same way I have loved you. John 15:10-12
Do you want to have joy in your life? As we listen to His words—letting
Him communicate with us we find that Jesus is providing the keys to joy—obedience
and love. Love Him and love others.
Verse of Salvation ~ Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you. Psalm 51:12
Memory Verse of the Week ~ Be on guard. Stand firm in
the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. 1 Corinthians 16:13
