Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (NLT) -Matthew 28:20 We are not alone. Everyday, we have access to the power of God’s Holy Spirit to help us through all the challenges of life. So why not take a risk and step out in faith and attempt to “make disciples” as Jesus commands? He is with you always and His power gives us the strength and words we need to be a light in this world. Download this app to get your daily devotions: http://www.jctrois.com/dailybibledevotion/

Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God's glory. (NLT) -Romans 5:2 It's hard to comprehend, but we stand in the middle of undeserved privilege when we put our faith in Christ. The word privilege is defined as a right or immunity granted as a benefit. We are granted immunity from our sins which had separated us from God. Now we can joyfully be in His presence and await the day we can share His glory. How do you gracefully share undeserved privilege without pridefully looking down on others?

"You're going to wear yourself out--and the people, too. This job is too heavy a burden for you to handle all by yourself." (NLT) -Exodus 18:18 Moses' father-in-law had just given him some wise advice to delegate. Moses was tasked with being the sole judge for thousands of Israelites, but it was burdensome. Often, we cling onto these burdens because we take pride in the control and recognition we receive from doing them. Yet, delegating gives others the opportunity to prove their worth if you give them the chance. Also, we can be much more effective with our time because it is multiplied by the effort of many. Are there areas you could relinquish control and delegate to willing and capable people? Download this app to get your daily devotions: http://www.jctrois.com/dailybibledevotion/

Then Jesus said, "Let's go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile." He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn't even have time to eat. (NLT) -Mark 6:31 This is always a busy time of year with graduations, visiting family, and working hard. We get focused, hustling and bustling about with little time for eating that we exhaust ourselves. It's important to go off to a quiet place to recharge yourself and rest awhile.

“Rabbi,” his disciples asked him, “why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parents’ sins?” “It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins,” Jesus answered. “This happened so the power of God could be seen in him." (NLT) -John 9:2-3 It's a common belief that people suffer as a way of punishment for their sins. Yet, Jesus used the blind man's disability to glorify God, not to punish him because of his own or his parents' sins. Could the same apply to our suffering?

Dear friends, I warn you as “temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls. (NLT) -1 Peter 2:11 Do you ever feel as though truly living at Christ-like life is impossible? The struggle to commit our lives to Jesus and faithfully serve Him is real! All the worldly voices we hear from the culture go against or work to distract us from what the Bible teaches. Be reminded, we are not citizens of this world. We have to fight to keep our eyes on Jesus and to live as though we are citizens of Heaven. Download this app to get your daily devotions: http://www.jctrois.com/dailybibledevotion/

In everything we do, we show that we are true ministers of God. We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind. (NLT) -2 Corinthians 6:4 We know hard times come. The light we can shine to others reveals our faith in God. Our faith can persist even in the face of hardship. It is a demonstration of our trust that the Lord is good. When calamity happens the last thing we want to be is patient. We want to hurry up and move beyond the troubles. This is the time God has been preparing us for and we have the opportunity to grow closer to God. If you are in the middle of calamity, muster your patience one day at a time.

Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. (NLT) -Philippians 2:3 Be honest, how often do you actually think others can do it better than you? Most of us trust ourselves too much. It’s a struggle to consider the opinions, ideas or needs of those around us. What would it look like to truly consider your spouse, boss, friend or child better than yourself? When we take this posture of humility, we are able to show the love of Christ to those around us. Find one way to first serve another before serving yourself today, in order to show those around you the love of Jesus.

"I have singled him [Abraham] out so that he will direct his sons and their families to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just. Then I will do for Abraham all that I have promised." -Genesis 18:19 This verse is a good reminder of the importance of raising children according to the Lord's ways. As parents we are convicted to lead lives of integrity as examples for our children. As children we get to learn of the rich Bible stories to help us learn the right way to treat others. Everyone comes together, in their own unique way, to share in the goodness of the Lord. If you find your family has moved off track, it's never too late to reorient the family through watching a family movie featuring Biblical principles, attending church, or playing a Bible knowledge game together.

Don't be selfish; don't try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. (NLT) -Philippians 2:3 How can we not be selfish? That's difficult when the overwhelming majority of our thoughts are about ourselves. The second half of this verse has the answer. When we think of others more often than ourselves we battle with our selfishness. It's not asking us to think badly of ourselves, but instead to think higher of others. This can mean we give others the benefit of the doubt, release our grudges, and pay attention to the thoughtfulness others extend to us. Work today towards thinking of others more.
