Leviticus 26:5

Settle your heart and reduce worry as you consider the powerful truths that God knows, loves, and cares for us. He is in control and gives us the wisdom, courage, and strength to live peace-filled days. Each day’s reading is drawn from the devotional, 5 Minutes with Jesus: Peace for Today by bestselling author Sheila Walsh.

I know when someone is listening. They don’t just listen with their ears. They listen with their bodies. Their eyes are focused, and their posture is poised for listening. Friend, is that something you desire - to hear God and know His voice? Is there something you can learn to listen better? If the answer is yes, then spend some time reflecting on what it means to really listen to God’s voice.

What happens when we let fear, doubt, or lies hinder us from living the life we were made for? What would you do differently if you had no fear? Everyday we have the choice to have a faith greater than fear. It's time to walk with humble courage into all God has for us by digging into what He says about the life we were made to live.

Jesus Himself said anyone who loves Him will obey His teaching. No matter what it costs us personally, our obedience matters to God. The "Obedience" reading plan walks through what the Scriptures say about obedience: How to maintain a mindset of integrity, the role of mercy, how obeying frees us and blesses our lives, and more.
