Today's Word

People to help you

Life is a wonderful gift from God to each of us, and that’s why we must make the most of every second. There are moments when life becomes very difficult, but God never abandons you. He chose specific people to walk with you and help you, and it’s important that you learn to value them.

I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy
- Philippians 1:3–4

Do you remember a moment of pain or sadness in your life? Was there someone by your side encouraging and caring for you? Take a moment to thank God for that person and to pray for them. Perhaps right now that person is the one in need of encouragement and your prayers. Intercede before God on their behalf.

Sometimes other people don’t realize how much they’ve impacted our lives. If possible, express your gratitude to someone who was special to you during a time of anguish or sadness. Let them know how their attitude, word, or smile helped you in difficult moments. Today, be an encouragement and a blessing to the one who helped you in specific moments.

Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people.
- Philemon 1:7

Day Before Yesterday's Word

In the storms, trust in Jesus!

Once, Jesus was with His disciples in a boat when they were caught in a great storm. Even the experienced sailors among them were afraid! But with a command from Jesus, the storm became calm.

Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
- Matthew 8:23–26

Sometimes life’s problems seem like storms that could drown us. But never forget this: Jesus is in control. Believe in Jesus and He will calm the storm. He has all the power to do so, loves you more than anyone else, and cares for you at all times. Trust in the Lord’s love and power! Cry out to Him, because He will act and calm the storm that now seems so great and unbearable.

Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
and he brought them out of their distress.
He stilled the storm to a whisper;
the waves of the sea were hushed.
They were glad when it grew calm,
and he guided them to their desired haven.
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for mankind.
- Psalm 107:28–31
