Recipe for a Great Day!



1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.



2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Talk to God about what is going on in your life. Buy a lock if you have to.



3. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My…

Daily Bible Verse & Prayer

Today's Verse - Romans 12:4-5

Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

—Romans 12:4-5

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Three key realities of our discipleship are belonging, usefulness, and connectedness. Each of us belongs! We belong to God. We belong to Jesus. We belong to Jesus' body, the Church. We belong to each other as members of Jesus' body. The Holy Spirit not only cleansed us when we were given new birth in Jesus' family (John 3:6-7; 1 Corinthians 6:11), but the Spirit also gifted us (Ephesians 4:7; 1 Peter 4:10) and connected us with everyone else in Jesus' body! We each have a place and a purpose for the Church to function as Jesus' bodily presence in our world today. We each have something to bring to the other believers who make us Jesus' body, the Church. Each of us belongs! Each of us is needed! Each of us has an important role to play with significant things to do! Each of us is connected to each other. If one part suffers, we all suffer. If one person is blessed, we all rejoice (1 Corinthians 12:26). So, dear friend of Jesus, rather than envying someone else's gift or belittling someone we feel has a lesser gift, or rejecting someone who does not have a specific gift, let's rejoice in each other, support each other, and do our part in helping the world see Jesus!

My Prayer...

Help me, please, dear Father. I want to find the place you made me to fill in Jesus' body, the Church. As I discover my place to serve and use my gifts, I pledge to work so that your Spirit, and not just my own preferences, will guide me into your place for me to serve. Thank you for giving me a place not only to belong, but also to serve and be a part of Jesus' bodily presence in the world. In Jesus' name, and for his glory, I pray. Amen.

Today's Verse - Psalm 119:165

Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble.

—Psalm 119:165

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

My doctor likes to tease me when I come in for a checkup: "What is your problem with gravity?" You see, from an early age, my nickname was "Trip"! I am someone who has had several very clumsy stages of life and taken some pretty nasty stumbles. So, I hope you will join me in hearing this most beautiful promise from today's Scripture. For me, this promise is almost beyond believing.
"Nothing can make them stumble."
When it comes to life, God gives us this promise: as we know, love, and do his will, nothing can make us stumble. There is great peace knowing that the Father loves us and doesn't want us to stumble. Even when we do begin to stumble, if we go back to God and confess those stumbles and sins, he forgives them and makes us clean. It's as if they hadn't happened (1 John 1:9). God no longer sees it as a stumble because he has forgiven it and has empowered us beyond it! Now it is our turn to love God, his truth, and his guidance, obeying with all of our hearts, knowing that we have a power over spiritual gravity: nothing can make us stumble!

My Prayer...

Thank you, God, for this day. Thank you for all that lies ahead. Thank you that we don't have to face today or tomorrow with doubts about our basic values and without a sense of your will for our lives. Stir us to live your will and obey your Scriptures so that nothing can make us stumble. Empower us with your Spirit and guide us with your truth so that we may more perfectly reflect your character. In Jesus' name, we thank you for hearing our prayers. Amen.

Today's Verse - Psalm 116:1-2

I love the LORD. He heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.

—Psalm 116:1-2

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Understanding the LORD's love, presence, and nearness should lead us to serve him and to deepen our relationship with him. While we love God for many reasons, we especially want to express our love to him today for his personal concern for us - individually for each of us! In a world where important people refuse to spend time with those they consider "beneath them," we are truly blessed with an incomparable God who listens to our every cry, recognizes our distinct voice, and tunes his ear to hear every one of our whispers. Yes! I will call on the LORD! I will praise him, thank him, confess to him, and speak of him and his grace as long as I live!

My Prayer...

Father, you know each hair on my head and every thought in my heart. Thank you for hearing my prayers. Thank you for answering so many of them with the answer I sought from you. Please give me patience when I cannot see your hand in the other answers - those that do not come as soon or do not bear the result I had requested. I believe and trust that you are always near, working for my good even when I can't see it or understand what is happening. I believe you always answer my prayers to your glory and for my best eternal interests. So please, dear Father, strengthen my faith so that I will never outlive my trust and faith in you. In the name of Jesus, I ask for this grace. Amen.
