Thoughts on Today's Verse...

We're now a week and a half into the new year. How are you doing with those changes, commitments, and resolutions you made for this year? Don't give up or quit on them, even if you're having trouble staying on track. Remember that only one commitment is essential for this year: Asking the Lord where he wants us to go and what he wants us to do, then we go there and do it. Let's ask the Lord to lead us by his Holy Spirit and establish our steps!

Video Commentary...

We've included Phil's ToGather video from four years ago as an added blessing to our verse today:

My Prayer...

Holy God, almighty Lord, my Abba Father, thank you for being wondrous, holy, and mighty. Thank you for tenderly caring about me, my life, my decisions, and my struggles. Please guide me by your Holy Spirit as I seek to understand your Scriptures and discern your will for my life. I want to have you fully establish my steps. In Jesus' name, I ask for this guidance. Amen.
