ISAIAS 2:2

What is most important to you? What do you spend your time working to achieve?  This plan will help you remember that it is God’s glory that rises highest. It will be His power that strengthens you. 

Having thanksgiving in our hearts is more than a seasonal state of mind. Giving thanks in all circumstances, even those that are hard to bear, is a witness to our faith and trust in a loving and gracious Father. In this Abide plan we will focus on the assurances God gives that help us live in joyful thanksgiving all year long.

Peace. Who among us doesn’t long for the state of mind and heart that is quiet and calm? A place where our inner being is as tranquil and undisturbed as a quiet lake? We pray that as you read through the following 5 days' reflections from Our Daily Bread, you will experience Jesus' gift of peace - of mind and heart.

What would our lives look like if we recognized that gratitude is the key to understanding our relationships with one another, the world around us, and God? By exploring gratitude, we will discover that being grateful to God is our righteous duty and also the best predictor of our well-being. Gratitude is an urgent necessity that, remarkably, also makes us more faithful, joyful, generous, healthy, and content.
