Thoughts on Today's Verse...

When we tune our hearts to God's will and we long to honor our Lord, our Father delights in blessing us in mighty ways. (See yesterday's devotional thoughts.) So, let's first set our hearts on doing his will. Then, let's not be afraid to ask God to pour his blessings on others and share with the Lord the desires of our hearts. Finally, let's not be surprised at how many ways he blesses us in response to our prayers!

My Prayer...

O God, please show yourself to be glorious in the ways you bless me, especially the ways you bless those I love. Help all people know that these blessings do not come from our wisdom, skill, or strength but from your grace. In Jesus' name, I ask it. Amen.
