Day 17
Today's Challenge
I wonder how people are responding to your kind words of encouragement? Take some time to send someone an encouraging message (call, IM, tweet, post, text, email, etc.). Make sure it is someone different than before. Be selective. Be purposeful. Say something thoughtful and positive. Try using Scripture. Then, pray God uses your words to build them up.
Today's Bible Reading
John 16-21
Today's Bible Verse
“These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” (Deuteronomy 6:6-7)
Today's Prayer
Pray for your family as they experience God’s love together. Pray for babies.
Today's Devotional
For your devotional time today make a list of people who have encouraged you over the past year. It could be a teacher, mentor, parent, or friend. Who are they (list at least 5)? Hopefully you have sent them a word of encouragement and expressed your appreciation for them. Now, take this time to praise God for them. Spend some time in prayer praying that God will bless them as much as they have blessed you.
