strong faith. But grow in the grace and
knowledge of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. Glory be to him,
now and forever! Amen.”

“For God did not give us a spirit of timidity
Today may we meditate upon the fact that we serve a God of good and wonderful gifts! He is a God of mercy, peace, and grace. Every morning He meets us faithfully with His lovingkindness and tender mercies. Oh what a gracious and loving heavenly Father we serve!
Today I want to declare to you that there is something that God will NEVER give to you, and that is fear! The truth is that He is not the author of fear, but instead He has given us the spirit of power, love, and a calm well balanced mind. We can keep our mind focused, disciplined and have self control with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Let us be reminded today to stay focused on all that He has given us through His love for this very special journey on earth. It is Him that can help us to remain disciplined and self controlled for the God given work He has for us. I want to leave you with this precious quote:
“If the Lord be with us,
we have no cause to fear,
His eye is upon us,
His arm over us,
His ear open to our prayer.”

![Wisdom from above](https://www.abundantlifectr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Wisdom-from-above-300x225.jpg)
God’s wisdom will always be full of these fruits. Wisdom’s fruits are pure, peaceful, and gentle. God’s wisdom will always be respectful and merciful. It will never be touched with hypocrisy for it is pure, real, and it has been tested. God’s wisdom or ways do not change due to circumstance because it is not consistent with His character. Our God never changes, and His wisdom never changes. It will always be full of His good fruits.
When we ask God for His wisdom He desires to bless us with His pure thoughts and how He sees to do a task or speak a word to someone. He desires to bless us with His good judgments. I encourage you today to seek wisdom before every task. Get God’s mind in all you put your hand to. As you ask God for His precious wisdom, believe by faith that it is going to flow into you, and flow forth from you to help you in any situation.

those who journey through
the less anything can get

But whoever takes a drink of the water that I will give him shall never, no never, be thirsty any more. But the water that I will give him shall become a spring of water welling up (flowing, bubbling) [continually] within him unto (into, for) eternal life.”

so my feet will not slip.”
“Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.”
“You have given plenty of room for my steps under me, that my feet would
not slip.”
Psalm 18:36 Easy-to-Read Version
“You cleared a path for my feet
so that I could walk without stumbling.”

![let us not tire](https://www.abundantlifectr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/let-us-not-tire-300x169.jpg)
What you sow, you harvest. Those who sow seeds into their flesh will only
harvest destruction from their sinful nature. But those who sow seeds into
the Spirit shall harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. May we never tire
of doing what is good and right before our Lord because in His season we
shall bring in a great harvest if we can just persist.”

![rooted and grounded in the love of god](https://www.abundantlifectr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/rooted-and-grounded-in-the-love-of-god-187x300.jpg)
“And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts, living
within you as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of
God’s marvelous love; and may you be able to feel and understand, as all
God’s children should, how long, how wide, how deep, and how high his
love really is; and to experience this love for yourselves, though it is so
great that you will never see the end of it or fully know or understand it.
And so at last you will be filled up with God himself.
Now glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is able to
do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of—infinitely
beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes.”

This is a good way of teaching the kids to forgive each other(Matt. 5:7). I like the power of this gentle scripture and lesson… Thanks!!
thank you Lisa for sharing. I am blessed that this was a blessing to you!
Ralph &I are really enjoying your devotional together.
So glad this is blessing you both!
Oh, what a wonderful reminder! I want to break the magnifing glass of worry and trust God for each step I take.
It is interesting Selena how the more we worry the bigger and more magnified things get in our minds. Oh how important it is to trust our God for the smallest of things! Thank you for sharing!
