Do You Feel Like You're Missing Out?
“Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart.”
Psalm 119:2

Ponder This
Have you ever thought that if you lived according to God’s laws, you were going to miss out? The truth is, if you don’t live according to God’s laws you’re going to miss out! God’s laws are for your welfare.
God is not a tyrant in Heaven making a bunch of laws to make you squirm like a worm in hot ashes as you try to keep those laws. God loves you. Every time God says “Thou shalt not,” God is simply saying, “Don’t hurt yourself.” And every time God says, “Thou shalt,” God is saying, “Help yourself to happiness.” God has something so wonderful for you.
Practice This
Write the following down on some sticky notes and post them everywhere.
“God loves me.”
“God knows better than I do.”
“God is in control.”
“God is good.”
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
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.’”
