One Word: Awesome

One Verse: “By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.” Psalm 65: 5

One Thought: Father, I want to dwell today on how awesome you are. When I do this, my issues seem smaller. Please keep me focused on you throughout this day. Help me to memorize this verse and make it real in my life.

Charley and I are singing as we get ready for Christmas! I’m asking God to put a new song in my heart this season, to teach me something new, something fresh.
“He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.” Psalm 40:3.

John and I recently got to speak about Gospel-centered parenting. I remember when my children were little how late afternoon was the hardest time of the day and often I would ask our oldest of five, Allison, who was about nine if she would pray for me. ⁣

There is so much confusion in today’s world on how we should “parent” our children. Multiple books and podcasts abound with a diversity of opinions. Even amongst believers. Friends disagree. And there are more and more parents who come from painful backgrounds themselves with few role models. How are we supposed to raise healthy kids? Who do we listen to? What really matters?⁣

One Word:
Immeasurable Riches

One Verse:
“...so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:7

One Thought:
Father, today I long to dwell on your riches rather than my own wants and needs. Call to mind your riches and help these thoughts of you to be in the forefront of my thinking today.

For years, we gathered with a few families to celebrate Thanksgiving. These memories date back to 1991. Some of these friends are now in heaven, but we are so thankful for these sweet memories. My friend Judy, who is in the Thanksgiving collage, made this verse, which still hangs on the wall at our farm.

Are you gathering with friends or family for Thank

Are you gathering with friends or family for Thanksgiving? Or perhaps spending time alone? Whatever your situation, I bet you wish you had something short and meaningful you could do to honor this day.⁣
You may try something I have found meaningful–a seven-minute devotional you can do alone or with your family. Find the devotional in the link in my bio or on my website: susanalexanderyates.com/blog
