Word of the Day: God Is Thinking of You
Right now, God has you in His thoughts. Have you ever stopped to think about that? God has a plan for your life, He is thinking about you in everything He does.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand -
when I awake, I am still with you.
Psalm 139:17-18
Every single thing that happens, whether good or bad, God knows! Yes, it shows an incomprehensible depth and abundance of God's thoughts toward us and an intimate understanding of us. Such a vast sum of thoughts, that the psalmist likens them to countless grains of sand. God's love and concern for His people have no limits. His God's thoughts toward us are constant, unwavering, and immeasurable, extending beyond our comprehension.
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Luke 12:6-7
Jesus also highlights God's intimate knowledge and care for His creation, when he mentions the sparrows in Luke 12. He emphasizes that not one sparrow is forgotten by God and that even the very hairs of our heads are known about. The knowledge and understanding of us is so meticulous and detailed that it could only belong to the one who created us. Not only this, but it reinforces the idea that God has a care for us that is deep, personal, and comprehensive.

Word of the Day: Receive God's blessing at work
23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
Colossians 3:23-24
The work God gives you is a blessing. Remember that many people don't even have a job. Some jobs may be very tiring or poorly paid, and God doesn't like this; He looks at injustice with sadness. The same chapter of Colossians says that those who commit injustice will receive the injustice they commit. No one will go unpunished.
However, one thing is certain: whatever your job, you should do it willingly, as for the Lord. Keeping this in mind will change your perspective. Instead of seeing your work as an unbearable burden, you will see it as a wonderful opportunity to serve God.
God wants to help you so that you can sustain yourself and do a good job. Pray to God, and talk to Him from the heart about your work. If you are unemployed, ask Him to give you a good job. If your work situation is challenging, pray for God to grant you strength and patience until you find a new job.
If your work situation is great and you are happy with your job, thank God for this great blessing and glorify Him in the way you work.
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:17
Receive God's blessing in your life this morning.

Word of the Day: Prayers of Worship
9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Matthew 6:9-10
One type of prayer we can offer to God is prayers of worship or adoration. Worshiping God involves adoring Him and dedicating ourselves to Him, choosing to do His will every day. By worshiping God, we acknowledge His greatness and lordship, we lift up His name, and open our hearts to Him. In praying in worship, our focus is on God, not on ourselves.
The Bible calls us to worship God with all our hearts, not just in words, but in spirit and truth.
23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
John 4:23-24
Praying in worship to God requires us to examine our hearts and our entire being more closely. How can I please God more? How can I draw closer to Him and His will for my life?
Pray every day, putting God first in your life, acknowledging His love and all He has done for you. Express your desire to live in obedience and inquire how you can do His will. Pray and worship the One who deserves it, the Lord God and Savior who loves you so much.
