“Let the wise listen and add to their
learning,
and let the discerning get guidance.”
(Proverbs 1:5 NIV)
I will step into God’s classroom today. I will open my eyes and ears to learn what He wants to teach me. It will be a one-on-one experience that only He can give. He taps me on the shoulder and whispers in my ear. Such lessons occur daily, even hourly, moment-by-moment. I only need to recognize my Teacher, stop what I am doing, and absorb what He is teaching me. I hope you will, too!
“Satisfy us in the morning with your
unfailing love,
that we may sing for joy and be glad
all our days.”
(Psalm 90:14 NIV)
I rise in the morning with a song in my heart and on my mind. I reach for the blinds and open them to let in the beauty of the day. Nothing can pull me away from His presence. I train my mind to thank my heavenly Father for revealing Himself to me in so many amazing ways. He is my complete Satisfaction. I will rejoice and praise Him today. I hope you will, too!

“While they were listening to this,
He went on to tell them a parable,
because He was near Jerusalem
and the people thought that
the kingdom of God was going to appear
at once.”
(Luke 19:11 NIV)
The Parable
of the Ten Minas (Luke 19:11-27) is the last of Christ’s teachings in Luke
before His Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem. The mina, valued at approximately
three months’ wages, is a metaphor for the Gospel. God has given each of us the
good news of Jesus and we are responsible for how we invest it and share it
with others.
