God's Plans for You

Spiritual Vitamin: "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me, and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you." Jeremiah 29:11-14

Reflect: Even when God's people were in captivity in Babylon, you did not forget them! You planned to give them a new beginning and purpose. You do the same for us. Will you trust that God has good plans for you? Seek Him. 

Answer Me Quickly

Spiritual Vitamin: "Answer me quickly, LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit. Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in You. Show me the way I should go, for to You I entrust my life." Psalm 143:7-8

Reflect: David, the writer of this verse is expressing his fear and depression. He needs God's help quickly! How do you need God's help today? Make this your prayer for guidance today. 

Whom Shall I Be Afraid?

Spiritual Vitamin: "The LORD is my light and my salvation-whom shall I fear? the LORD is the stronghold of my life-of whom shall I be afraid?"Psalm 27:1

Reflect: The Psalmist has three names for his God: My light, my salvation and the stronghold of my life. When he contemplates His God, it causes him not to fear. Meditate on who God is to you. Whom shall you be afraid?

Guard Your Heart

Spiritual Vitamin: "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life." Proverbs 4:23

Reflect: How do you make it a priority to guard your heart? What does that look like? 

Trust

Spiritual Vitamin: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight." 

Reflect: When you lean on something, it has the sense of putting most of your weight on that something. You trust in that person or thing. Who can you trust? Will you trust in God? He is worthy of our trust!

Wisdom

Spiritual Vitamin: My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God." Proverbs 2:1-5

Reflect: Where do you need wisdom today? Turn your ear to God's wisdom.

Seek the LORD

Spiritual Vitamin: "I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame." Psalm 34:4-5

Reflect: When the Psalmist, David, encountered trouble, he sought the Lord. Not only did he seek the Lord, but the Lord didn't let him down. Will you seek the Lord today for all that is on your heart? He will never let you down.
