Reflection
Points:
What in your life is competing with God right now for your attention? Is it something God placed in your life (for example, your children) or something you have taken on (for example, a volunteer position)? Remember that Satan sometimes uses good stuff to keep us from God's best. Keep your priorities in place and God will honor you for it. "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you." (Matthew 6:33, NIV)
Power
Verses:
Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
Isaiah 40:11, "He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart; He gently leads those that have young."
Jeremiah 30:21b-22, "I will bring him near and he will come close to me, for who is he who will devote himself to be close to me? Declares the Lord. So you will be my people, and I will be your God."
