March 25: HUMBLE VOICES ALWAYS CARRY THE FARTHEST

Ponder: Our habit of memorizing begins with reading the verse over aloud about 5 times as we contemplate the message of this words.

HUMBLE VOICES ALWAYS CARRY THE FARTHEST.

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. 
JAMES 4:10 

 

Some of my sweetest memories include friends playing music on the dock at our lodge in Canada. It's still light at 10:00 p.m. during the late summer evenings. With the sun and the moon hanging together, we huddle around when our friends begin to sing. They'll close their eyes and sing from their hearts as tears stream down all our faces. 


What makes these times even more magical is the way the soft voices carry for miles, bouncing off the mountains and echoing into the night. Who knew nature had its own surround-sound system? 
Those intimate moments always remind me that humble voices carry the farthest in the world. It's never the person making a statement on a soapbox that sticks with us. They might get our attention in the moment or capture the news cycle for a day, but their moments are brief and their influence quickly fades to silence. 


Humble people speak love whenever they see an open heart, whether it's on a stage or by a hospital bed. They speak their words quietly, whether they are in the limelight or in a dark night. They don't need a megaphone because their actions amplify their words and people are drawn to their message, which can be heard from afar even when it's whispered. Because they're faithful in small ways, their influence reaches farther than a viral video ever could. 


God has a way of making humble voices travel far. No matter where we are, God amplifies true and kind voices who confidently speak the language of love into the world. Don't be loud; be humble. Why? If you want to reach the whole world with your message, humble voices always carry the farthest. 


In what ways is God inviting you to step more fully into humility today?

July 20: MOST OF OUR DECISIONS ARE DRIVEN BY EITHER LOVE OR FEAR.

Affirmation: I am compassionate. I care about myself and others. (Repeat 10x) “When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they replied.” (Matthew 9:27-31) Our compassion seems to be tied to belief in the Lord. Do you believe He is able to do this? Even more importantly, do you believe the Lord has compassion for YOU? ~~~~~~~ Ponder: Memorize Psalm 25:4-6. Make this your prayer today. This is a prayer for everyone to personalize and practice at any and every moment as you seek to live your best life. Pray this prayer at least 10 times today. “Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. Remember Lord, your great mercy and love, for they are from days of old.  Psalm  25 :4-6 ~~~~~~~ Reading for Today Walk in Grace. Live in Love. by Bob Goff                ...

August 22 Sailboat without a Sail…

Affirmation: I am grateful for this body, mind & soul. God made me. I have had times in my life that I questioned God’s existence, His goodness, His love.

January 28: Keep Showing Up; You’re The Only You There Is

Affirmation: I am imperfect and I am enough. ~~~~~~~ Ponder and Personalize :  The book of Joshua was written after Moses died and Joshua is left to lead the Israelites into the promised land. God has freed them from slavery in Egypt.  “Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, …” What significance does the Book of Law have? Why was it important to meditate on it day and night? Talk to God about this directive and how it might impact you. Joshua 1:8-9 “ Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night , so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” ~~~~~~~ Catching Whimsy: 365 Days of Possibility.  By Bob Goff                        Jan ...
