Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land that the LORD promised on oath to your forefathers. Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.
Deuteronomy 8:1-3 NIV
Deuteronomy 8:1-3 NIV
Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."
— James 4:14 (NIV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
"If the Lord wills!" Do you do short term and long range planning? I do. But my planning always has an invisible asterisk: "If Lord, this is your will and your timing." I don't know about you, but God has shown me time and again that if I will be open to him, his timing is always better than my planning. Does that mean I quit planning? Nope. I just plan with prayer, asking for wisdom and the Holy Spirit to help me find God's timing to know and do his will (James 1:5-6 & Ephesians 5:15-18). Life is too short to not plan with prayer and to not walk led by the Spirit!
My Prayer...
Not my will, Father, but yours be done this day, and all the days of my life. In Jesus' holy name I ask it. Amen.
— James 4:14 (NIV)

Patient people have great understanding.
Proverbs 14:29
I've heard it said that women make better fishermen than men because they have such great patience. I don't know about that, but I do know my wife, Chris, is the best bass fisherman I have ever fished with. We've been married now for over forty years, so I must be a really patient man myself! ( Not exactly.) All my life I've enjoyed being impatient. I've never prayed for patience in fear that God would give it to me, but supernaturally, after all these years, God has granted me the patience I need even though I didn't request it. At the same time, He has increased my understanding. This enhances my relationship with others and, more importantly, my relationship with Him.
Tip: Dingy water allows you to fish closer to the fish.

But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!
— Amos 5:24 (NIV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
While many attribute this quote to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., it was originally uttered by Amos, God's spokesman over 2600 years earlier than Dr. King quoted it. God wanted his people to know that their religious pilgrimages, their sacrificial offerings, and their songs meant nothing to him if they were not backed up by a life of compassion, character, and concern. Northern Israel did not believe Amos and did not repent. Not too many years later, they were utterly destroyed because God found their hypocrisy, injustice, and abuse of the weak reprehensible. But we live now, and these words are just as powerful and clear as they were then! What will our response be?
My Prayer...
Almighty God, many of your children are ashamed today at the unrighteousness in our world and in our nations. Please use us to lead a rebirth of character. And Father, as we seek to live holy lives, please keep our eyes not only on your character, but also on your compassion, mercy, tenderness, and grace so we may share those same qualities with those who need to know your love and receive your salvation. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."
