Today's prayer
PRAYER God, thank You for sending people to build me up when I've been discouraged. I know how impactful a word of encouragement can be. Help me to be that person for someone else -to speak life and truth over someone who's struggling, and point them to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Encouragement that builds
Encouragement That Builds Have you ever regretted not taking the time to speak life or truth over someone? Maybe they were going through a hard time and you weren't sure what to say, but you felt like you could have—and should have—said something. When Paul, the author of 1 Thessalonians, is writing to the church in Thessalonika, he gives them some practical advice... Paul tells the church to continue to encourage one another and keep building each other up. This was something they were already doing, but Paul felt it necessary to remind them to keep doing this. Encouragement can change someone’s attitude. It can lift someone out of a dark place. It can remind them of what's true when the truth feels foggy. Speaking life and truth over someone can give them the hope and determination they need to push through a hard season. Maybe you can remember a time when someone encouraged you during a challenging season of life, and the difference it made for you. Paul is encouraging us to do that for others. The Church is meant to be a place of encouragement. We should never leave any encouragement unspoken, but should generously lift each other up. Spend some time today thinking about someone in your life who you can encourage. It might be someone who's going through a hard time, or someone who simply needs to be reminded that others care about them. Never let encouragement go unspoken. Take a moment to speak life.

1 Thessalonians 5:11
1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 MSG [9-11] God didn’t set us up for an angry rejection but for salvation by our Master, Jesus Christ. He died for us, a death that triggered life. Whether we’re awake with the living or asleep with the dead, we’re alive with him! So speak encouraging words to one another. Build up hope so you’ll all be together in this, no one left out, no one left behind. I know you’re already doing this; just keep on doing it. https://bible.com/bible/97/1th.5.9-11.MSG

PRAYER God, thank You for showing me what real love looks like. Thank You for giving me Your Word--so that I can know the difference between right and wrong; between good and evil. I want to know the love that rejoices in the truth. Help me to love others the way that You have loved me. In Jesus name, Amen.

What does absolute love looks like?
What Does Love Look Like? If you were to ask ten random people to define what love is, you would most likely receive ten different definitions. We often define love by what we value or enjoy the most. But with so many different definitions of love that are often contradictory, Jesus’ followers should desire the truth. A true definition of love doesn’t come from culture, our own values, or from within ourselves—it comes from God, because “God is love” (1 John 4:8). So, any right understanding of love must come from God. 1 Corinthians 13 is entirely devoted to defining what love is. 1 Corinthians 13:6 says love "does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth." Evil is anything opposed to God or His ways. When we disobey God’s law, choose to do the wrong thing, or cause harm to someone else—that is evil. Essentially, evil is when we fail to love God and love others. For instance, if someone difficult does not know the love of Jesus, we shouldn’t delight in that. Love should lead us toward sharing the truth about Jesus with them. Or, if someone who hurts you is suffering, we shouldn’t rejoice over their pain. Instead we should forgive them, just as God forgave us. Love rejoices in God’s truth being told, lived, and shared. So take some time today to consider how your own definition of love is different from God’s definition. What misunderstandings do you have? Also, what actions or thoughts can you change to be more loving? Most importantly, who can you share the truth of God’s love with? Make a list of two or three people you can pray for and talk to about God and His love.

Today's scripture
1 Corinthians 13:6
1 Corinthians 13:3-7 MSG [3-7] If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love. Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have. Love doesn’t strut, Doesn’t have a swelled head, Doesn’t force itself on others, Isn’t always “me first,” Doesn’t fly off the handle, Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others, Doesn’t revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end. https://bible.com/bible/97/1co.13.3-7.MSG

A way in the wilderness
A Way in the Wilderness Have you noticed that sometimes life feels like a desert? In moments of pain and anxiety, it may seem like there’s no way out. All we see is an endless wasteland. The people of Israel faced their worst “desert” when Babylon destroyed Jerusalem and took its inhabitants captive. Far from home, they lived for decades under oppression. In moments of anguish and despair, they remembered the prophet’s words: “A voice of one calling: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God” (NIV). In the ancient Near East, a king’s subjects would “prepare a way” by going ahead of him when he returned to his city. His return implied abundance and protection. The author uses this image to announce a way out of the desert; make a path for the King of Kings, trusting that he will arrive to lead everyone home. The prophet’s confidence finds a basis in God’s history. God freed Israel from brutal slavery—with provision and love, he guided them through the desert. Like a father, God protected the people as they crossed the wilderness toward the promised land. The New Testament repeats the prophet’s words to announce the coming of the Messiah, the true King of Israel. Just as God freed his people from Egypt and restored them after Babylon’s violence, now he comes to lead all humanity back home, with the promise of transforming every desert into a new creation—a new Heaven and Earth! We can trust that he accompanies us in our deserts; we are not alone and never have been. Though the path is difficult, the King of Kings is with us, and when we no longer have strength, he carries us. With him, there will always be a way back home.

Be honest with God
Praying Honestly Are you honest with God when you pray? Lots of people struggle with being completely honest with Him. Instead, they pick and choose the things they pray about. They hide certain sins and confess others that aren’t as embarrassing. But Scripture says that we don’t need to clean up our life before we come to God. God is the one who created us, and He already knows everything about us—so there's nothing we can hide from Him. He already knows the innermost parts of our thoughts and desires. The writer of Psalm 139 prays for God to search his heart and mind, and to bring up anything that he might be unaware of that is hiding beneath the surface. This is a prayer that we’re all invited to pray. We cannot be healed from the things we try to hide. In order to experience the grace and mercy of God, we must bring everything to Him. When He searches us and brings things to mind, He’s inviting us to humbly confess them to Him. This prayer in Psalm 139 is an open and honest plea for God to continue to purify and sanctify our hearts. God can handle the heaviest parts of us, and He is not surprised by what happens in our thoughts. Honesty before God is the only way we can grow into the people He wants us to be. We cannot grow in our spiritual life by hiding secrets or guarding our thoughts from God. So take a moment today to make Psalm 139 your prayer. Ask God to search your heart and see if there is anything hiding that you’re unaware of. When He brings something up, take it to Him and ask for forgiveness. Ask for the power of His Spirit to lead and guide you through this time. God is faithful and merciful to continue to love us in spite of our shortcomings. He will continue to walk with you and lead you into eternal life with Him.

Healed by His wounds
Healed by His Wounds Brokenness. We see it all around us. We experience it ourselves—in our relationships, in our dreams, in our bodies. And yet, something happened over two thousand years ago that still has the power to heal that brokenness.     1 Peter 2:24 says, "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed."  Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, took the weight of our sins upon Himself. He carried them to the cross, giving up His life not because of His own wrongdoing, but because of ours. This is the essence of the Gospel. Through His sacrifice, He offered us a path out of darkness and into His light—a life transformed by His grace.  Because of Christ’s sacrifice, we’ve been given a profound healing of our spirits; new life taking the place of sins and darkness that separate us from God. Through His wounds, we are offered forgiveness and a new relationship with God, healed and whole.   Understanding His sacrifice transforms us. We can’t live in darkness anymore. Brokenness may surround us, but it is no longer within us. His righteousness washes over us. His healing wells up within us. Our entire life shifts as a response to the profound love and sacrifice Jesus showed us, and the healing that He alone can provide.

1 Peter 2:24
1 Peter 2:21-25 MSG [21-25] This is the kind of life you’ve been invited into, the kind of life Christ lived. He suffered everything that came his way so you would know that it could be done, and also know how to do it, step-by-step. He never did one thing wrong, Not once said anything amiss. They called him every name in the book and he said nothing back. He suffered in silence, content to let God set things right. He used his servant body to carry our sins to the Cross so we could be rid of sin, free to live the right way. His wounds became your healing. You were lost sheep with no idea who you were or where you were going. Now you’re named and kept for good by the Shepherd of your souls. https://bible.com/bible/97/1pe.2.21-25.MSG

He is thr ultimate God
The Ultimate Guide Have you ever faced something unexpected? Maybe it was a good surprise that brought you joy, or a heartbreaking tragedy that deeply affected your life. All of us experience moments in life that we don’t anticipate. Even though unexpected things will happen, we still make plans and dreams for our lives. We make plans for our future—education, family, community, career, or specific relationships. But we can never fully plan for the unexpected, since we cannot know the future. We don’t even know what might happen in the next few minutes. We learn in Scripture that God is all-knowing, which means He knows everything that will happen everywhere in the world. He has complete knowledge of every event and action that happens. More than that, He is also sovereign, which means He has ultimate authority and control in this world. That means that even though we make our own plans, God is ultimately the one who directs our steps. He has the power to change the direction of our lives, to orchestrate details we can't even fathom, and to guide us into what is best for us. Take some time to think about the dreams and plans that you have for your life. Have you ever submitted those plans to God in prayer? This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t make plans for your life, but rather, whatever you plan should not come before God’s plans for your life. Take a moment to ask God to direct your steps. Ask Him to reveal any desires or plans that aren't from Him. Submit your plans to God so that you’ll be open to following Him wherever He leads.

We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand—out in the wide open spaces of God’s grace and glory, standing tall and shouting our praise. https://bible.com/bible/97/rom.5.1-2.MSG

Just think about it
Think About It Do you ever think about what you think about? Or recognize that your thoughts have power? Or consider how, over time, you’ll become what you think?  Writing from a Roman prison to the believers in the Greek city of Philippi, the apostle Paul knew firsthand the importance of battling hard things with true thoughts. He regularly dealt with opposition, weakness, hardship, and persecution.  But Paul also knew that Jesus-followers were called to a different way of thinking… “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Even in a broken world, God has created good things, and He’s empowered us to notice and to praise Him for it.  The apostle James also reminds us that every good and perfect gift is from God. And Jesus tells us that He is the way, the truth, and the life. So when we focus on what's good and truth-filled, our thoughts shift toward God—the giver of good things and the author of all that is true. Focusing on what is good might look like reflecting on Jesus’ sacrifice for you. It could mean remembering a time when you felt God protect, provide, or prepare you. Or it could look like thanking God for the promises He’s kept, and the love He’s shown you.  Following Paul’s advice isn’t just about practicing positive thinking—it’s about fixing our thoughts on God in order to cultivate the mind of Christ in our everyday lives. So today, think about what you think about. Search for a rhythm of gratefulness and worship. Thank God for opportunities to shine light into a dark world. And wherever you go, look for what is good, pure, and true.

Get Ready
Get Ready Would a doctor begin an operation without surgical gear? Would a firefighter run into a burning building without a protective suit? Would a soldier head into a battle without armor? With the exclusion of extreme situations, of course they wouldn’t. In fact, not only do they spend years preparing for such moments, but they also learn to protect themselves from harm. If they aren’t prepared, they cannot do their job.  Writing to the believers in Ephesus from a Roman prison, the apostle Paul said: “Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:11‬ ‭NLT‬‬‬‬‬‬ Every day, we face battles that we can’t fully see. And if we’re not prepared, we cannot do our job of loving God and people well.  God’s armor is readily available, but we must make the intentional decision to dress ourselves for battle.  When we intentionally dress ourselves in the armor of God, we can be ready for the attacks that will inevitably come our way.
