BIBLE MEDITATION:
Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord. Psalm 31:24
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Who knows you better than the One who created you? Who cares more for you than the One Who died for you? Who leads you more carefully than the One Who knows the end from the beginning? There is no greater picture of courage than the picture of Jesus Christ—the Savior Who lays down His life.
You can know security because the One Who loves you is compassionate, caring, and courageous. That's what caused him to leave Heaven and come and die for us. Jesus knows you. He cares for you. He wants to lead you into the abundant life.
ACTION POINT:
Are you willing to lay down your life for the sake of the Lord?
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.’”
