When preparing for today, think about the following: God's Redemptive Love Brings Joy.

Food For Thought

When times seem bleak, and life appears to be full of grief, today’s scripture provides hope and assurance. It is a reminder that the Lord faithfully protects us with His righteousness, and those who wait on Him will find peace. In times of distress, we can take comfort in the fact that our hope is firmly rooted in God's promises.

Today’s scripture speaks of waiting for the Lord and having faith that He will deliver us from our afflictions. We are reminded to have courage and strength, even when all else fails. As hard and difficult times may be, we can depend on God to sustain us. This assurance gives us the power to keep pressing forward despite life's struggles.

God's redemptive love brings joy in the midst of sorrow, replacing fear with faithfulness and pain with peace. The heartache of grief may remain, but our hope remains strong because we look towards God for comfort, knowing that His goodness never fails us. Our faith will be rewarded if we wait patiently upon Him until every promise is fulfilled in its time.

Gratitude

In today’s scripture, the message of this passage is clear – gratitude towards God for His mercy and grace should always be a part of our spiritual journey. When we recognize how much we are blessed by the Lord and show our appreciation, it will lead us on a path filled with growth, assurance and hope. By being fully aware of the blessings poured out upon us by God, our hearts become filled with joy and peace while we are able to stay stronger through moments of grief. Ultimately, this gratefulness strengthens us to grow closer to Him.

How can you thank the Lord for His mercy and grace in your life?

Lord, It is Your righteousness that preserves me. Help me to stay close to Your heart so that I may wait for You and hear Your voice. Amen
