Over thirty years ago, a preacher told a story that changed the way this author sees the world. It was about two men standing on the same frozen lake—one full of confidence, the other full of fear. The lesson? Not what you might think. It's a reminder that what matters most isn’t always what’s on the surface.

Acts of kindness and love can set in motion a chain of blessings. Through verses like Galatians 5:14 and Malachi 3:10, Scripture reveals the promise of reaping what you sow, not only in terms of finances but in all aspects of life. We can be confident that God's faithful hand of provision will always be more than enough. Let us sow generously today, not to receive, but out of our love for Jesus!

When you ponder the works of the Lord as is mentioned in Psalm 111, you find patterns exposing His great character and love for mankind. These carefully selected Scriptures point to Him as our provider, defender, protector, and healer. His faithfulness and love to us cannot be understated. He is the same today as He was yesterday; and will be the same tomorrow.

This devotional will challenge you to reflect on your understanding of God's unconditional love and inspire you to pray for a deeper comprehension of it. As you read about the wayward son and his big brother in Luke 15, you will see a beautiful picture of how our heavenly Father feels about us.

Have you ever wondered if a past mistake means God can no longer use you? Have you ever been totally convinced this is true? If so, you have fallen prey to one of Satan's favorite lies ... that your sin is too great to overcome. Learn the truth from this example in the Bible.

Exodus 20:8 says we are to remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. So, what does it mean to keep the day holy, and how does it connect to the 10 Commandments? Even God rested, which means even in the middle of our busiest schedules, we need it more than we think.
