Devotion Timothy 1:10-17 Faith is an individual choice, it is powerfully nurtured by the godly examples and prayers of our family. They provide a great legacy of faith. The devotion today shows how a mother and grandmother can be greatly used by God and leave an eternal impact by raising children well. Thought for The Day: A legacy of faith is one of the greatest gifts I can give and receive.

Devotion Matthew 11:28 We do not have to carry the weight of life on our own. God will always carry us and our burdens when we come to Him with them. God never gets tired or arms get weary. Thought for The Day: No matter what I face, God is there to hold me.

Devotion Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 With our faith we are prepared to follow God no matter where He takes us. In life we go through new and different seasons. Each time, we need to take a hold of God’s hand, and walk where He is leading, trusting that He will guide our steps. Thought for The Day: Life may change, but I am anchored by an unchanging God.

Devotion Psalm 23:1-6 The devotion today is the fear of dying. Each of us have fears of one type or another. Though the thought of death has not been a fear of mine, there have been other fears that have plagued me off and on. Like our Scripture says, we don’t need to fear any evil, for the Lord is with us. Thought for The Day: God is with me in every uncertain moment.
