But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. (NLT) -Isaiah 40:31 Exhaustion is apart of what it is to be human. We have limits and often feel the end of ourselves. God offers us a constant source of strength, when we run out of ability. As you go through your day, revisit these words. Allow them to comfort and alleviate the stress and suffering you may be experiencing. Take a deep breath and rely on His strength, not your own.

A Jewish man was traveling on a trip from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road. By chance a priest came along. But when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by. (NLT) -Luke 10:30-31 When you see someone in need, do you secretly pout and groan inside? Being a Christian we are responsible to help others. However, sometimes we turn the other way and cross to the other side of the road. A lot of times we just don't want to get involved, lose time, or hear a sob story. Be generous with your mercy.

But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day. The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. (NLT) -2 Peter 3:8-9 God’s approach to time is filled with mystery. He works outside the constraints of our human daily existence. This reality can feel frustrating but really it’s an amazing gift.

For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. (NLT) -Galatians 3:26 It's easy to get carried away thinking good works and acts of kindness will make us right with God. Sometimes we put so much faith in our our own abilities that we lose the need for God. However, the Bible is very clear we cannot do enough good deeds to enter heaven. Be comforted in knowing our faith in Jesus will cover us. Yet, even if we believe, it is still easy to slip into performance based thinking where we must accomplish X,Y, and Z in order for God to love us.

But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. (NLT) -1 Timothy 6:9 Ask around and everyone will tell you they wish they had more money. But yet, more than likely, there is food on the table and clothes on their backs.

Spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish. (NLT) -Proverbs 18:13 Have you ever accused someone based upon limited knowledge? It's always embarrassing being set straight with the facts after you just revealed yourself to be a fool. Let's not forget that shameful feeling. Instead, let's use it as fuel to probe out the truth with an open heart instead of spouting off on half-based truth.

I said to myself, “I will watch what I do and not sin in what I say. I will hold my tongue when the ungodly are around me.” (NLT) -Psalm 39:1 Righteous living is a choice. We don’t stop sinning without taking action. Watch what you do and think about the choices you are making. Do they honor God? Are they showing love towards others? Are you being salt and light to those who may be ungodly around you? If your answers don’t point to Jesus, it’s time to take action so you do not sin in what you say and do.

If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. (NLT) -Psalm 66:18 Have you confessed to God lately? Maybe it's important you confessed about your attitude and less important about your actions. Sin can sometimes be an action based on a false belief or attitude. Example: "I don't believe God will fulfill my need, therefore I must steal it from my sister." When we sin it creates a distance between us and God. Do you have any recurring sins that are because of a false belief? Download this app to get your daily devotions: http://www.jctrois.com/dailybibledevotion/
"If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. But even if he doesn't, we want to make it clear to you, You Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up." (NLT) -Daniel 3:17-18 A lot of times we have our faith backwards. If God does XYZ, then I will believe. But these men had a powerful faith. Even if God didn't save them from death, they still stood their ground. Why must we have conditions met before we will stick our neck out for God? It comes down to trust.

So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. (NLT) -1 Corinthians 9:26 Do you have a purpose in life? It's important to have a purpose you are working toward otherwise the busyness of life will overcome you. Does your vision honor God first, others second, and then yourself?

You must warn each other every day, while it is still "today," so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. (NLT) -Hebrews 3:13 Have you ever seen anyone deceived by sin? It's easy to recognize from a distance, but it demonstrates just how vulnerable everyone is to deception. We talk ourselves into believing lies. Our hearts become hardened when we no longer care about respected opinions and shut out Godly influences. This is how a highly respected person can soon live a disgraceful life. Let's warn each other. And be wise enough to receive such warnings with openness. Download this app to get your daily devotions: http://www.jctrois.com/dailybibledevotion/
