daily devotionals onlineWhen I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.” Psalm 8:3-5 (NIV)

Someone finally noticed!

Sarah wondered what it was that made the difference.

You see, Sarah was a member of the church’s housekeeping staff.
Yet when she walked down the halls, the secretarial staff would seemingly avoid contact.
Sarah felt like a worthless, second-class citizen.

When Linda, a fellow staff member noticed, she brought it up in a staff prayer meeting.
She made it a point to show the beautiful painting Sarah had just completed.
As a result, the secretarial staff hugged Sarah and apologized.
Through Linda’s words, Sarah began to see herself as valuable to God.

Friend, your value comes directly from the heart of God.
Remember, Christ died for the tax collector, the prostitute, as well as the influential Centurion.

Daily Christian DevotionalYou’ve got to admit—anger shows up, and we let him in. Revenge needs a place to stay, so we have him pull up a chair. Pity wants a party, we show him the kitchen.

Don’t we know how to say no?  For most of us, thought management is, well, un-thought of.  Shouldn’t we be as concerned about managing our thoughts as we are managing anything else?

Jesus stubbornly guarded the gateway of his heart. On one occasion the people determined to make Jesus their king. Most of us would delight in the notion. Not Jesus.  When He saw they were about to grab Him and make Him king,  John 6:15 tells us, Jesus slipped off and went back up the mountain to be by Himself.

Proverbs says,” be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life!”  (Proverbs 4:23).  Jesus did, shouldn’t we do the same?  Most certainly!
