JOB 10:12 (CEV)
You, the source of my life,
showered me with kindness
and watched over me.
JAMES 5:11 (CEV)
In fact, we praise the ones who endured the most. You remember how patient Job was and how the Lord finally helped him. The Lord did this because he is so merciful and kind.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God operates out of his kindness.
PRAYER
You, God, shower us with kindness. Help me to keep your gifts forefront in my mind. I so easily forget when I'm swamped with challenging circumstances. I'm going to make a point of counting my blessings today. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name; your Kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.

LISTENING
1 SAMUEL 3:19 (MSG)
Samuel grew up. God was with him, and Samuel’s prophetic record was flawless.
LUKE 10:16 (NLT)
Then he said to the disciples, “Anyone who accepts your message is also accepting me. And anyone who rejects you is rejecting me. And anyone who rejects me is rejecting God, who sent me.”
SUMMARY SENTENCE
You can't accept God without accepting his message.
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for sending messengers and for your Word as it comes to us through scripture. I confess that I'm a pick and choose kind of person who accepts your message when it is convenient and fits with my agenda. I understand that needs to change and I'm looking for you to implement that change in my life. I'm going to pour more of myself into listening to what you have to say. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name; your Kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.

NEW THINKING AND LIVING
PSALM 11:7 (CEV)
The LORD always does right
and wants justice done.
EPHESIANS 4:23-24 (ABP)
On the inside, let the Spirit give you a new way of thinking. On the outside of your new person, live in a way that reflects the true justice and unique purity of God's own being.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Live according to the justice of God.
PRAYER
True and just God, thank you for the new life that you are creating in me through Christ Jesus. I acknowledge that my thoughts are less than pure and that I don't always treat people right. Since I don't seem able to change that on my own, I'm looking to you to change me. My goal is to live both an internal life and an external life that mirrors your life. Amen.
