DAILY READINGS: 1 Chronicles 8:1-9:44; Ezekiel 11:1-25; John 3:22-36

Offer to God thanksgiving; and pay your vows to the most High: And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. Psalm 50:14-15

Many of God’s promises come with conditions. He expects us to demonstrate our love and devotion through thankful hearts, even when times are tough. He expects faithfulness in serving Him despite circumstances. Then, He promises to hear our prayers and act accordingly. Are you expecting God’s intervention without putting him first? That will never work. God must be our priority in order to claim his promises. Make Him your all—and see Him work His timing and His way in your life. —Deborah Manera

Take my life and let it be, consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise.—Havergal
