Are You Content in Jesus?
“…be content with such things as you have: for He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you, nor forsake you. So, we may boldly say: ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?’”
Hebrews 13:5-6

Ponder This
As you face the new year, find your contentment, companionship, and confidence in Jesus. Then, you’ll find your comfort and your courage in Jesus. When you are contented in Jesus and He is closer to you than anyone on earth could possibly be, and when you are confident in the midst of trials and testing that He will provide…then, and only then, will you know the courage that comes from His comforting presence.
Practice This
Pray, “Lord, with all my heart, with all I am, I want to know you. I want our relationship to be close and my faith to grow. Cleanse me and make me new, that I may be all that You want me to be this year.”

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
