Good morning, friends, and Happy Tuesday!
Welcome to a brand new month. September is here! 🍂
A new month brings new days, new opportunities, new responsibilities, and perhaps even some unexpected changes. But before we start thinking about everything that needs to happen this month, there is something much more important to remember.
God is already there.
We do not know everything September will bring, but God does.
So before the day gets busy, pour yourself a cup of coffee, open your Bible, find a quiet place, and spend a few moments with the Lord.
Talk to Him about your plans.
Talk to Him about your worries.
Thank Him for your blessings.
Then place this new month into His hands.
📖 Verse of the Day
“Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.”
Psalm 37:5 ESV
What a wonderful truth to carry into September.
God does not ask us to figure everything out before we trust Him.
He asks us to commit our way to Him and trust Him.
That means we can move forward even when we cannot see the entire road ahead.
🙏 Tuesday Challenge
Begin September by committing this month to God in prayer.
📖 Spend time in His Word before the distractions of the day take over.
☕ Take a few quiet moments to thank God for five specific blessings.
❤️ Encourage someone who may be beginning this month with a heavy heart.
🙏 Pray specifically for your spouse, children, grandchildren, family, friends, church, and community.
🌿 Choose one worry you have been carrying and intentionally place it in God’s hands today.
💚 A Reminder for September
You do not need to have the entire month figured out today.
Take it one day at a time.
One prayer at a time.
One decision at a time.
One act of obedience at a time.
One step of faith at a time.
Some days this month may bring wonderful news.
Some may bring challenges.
Some prayers may be answered.
Others may require more waiting.
Plans may change.
Doors may open.
Doors may close.
But through every moment, God will remain faithful.
When you do not know what to do, pray.
When you are tired, lean on Him.
When you are worried, remember His promises.
When you are blessed, give Him thanks.
When you cannot see what comes next, trust the One who can.
