Bonnie Jensen January 7 January 8 G Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. James 1:17 God wants you to have a good day. The white clouds billowing in the sky, the golden warmth of a sunset, the fragrance of a flower, the wonders of a waterfall and every awesome expression of His creative work was made for you and your enjoyment. Lord, thank you for the way you show me your love through your creative works. G Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:6 God love you in every season, yet his love is not seasonal; He loves you in every circumstance, yet His love is not circumstantial; He loves you in every condition, yet His love is not conditional.

Because we re better when we re living this one beautiful life together. A 365-DAY DEVOTIONAL JOURNAL January 1 We re All Worth a Second Look ark and I wander over to our favorite fruit stand table laden with Mdiscounted fruit labeled seconds. A wiry woman says, These are here because they have some kind of trouble. I look at her and say with a half-grin, Don t we all? We know she means there might be a bruise from a hard landing on unrelenting ground. Or there could be a tiny hole where a bug helped itself to dinner. But that doesn t deter us, so we choose our imperfect peaches and cart them home with anticipation. I set one on a small plate and split it right down the side with a silver knife. I put the piece in my mouth for an explosion of sweet and tart and summer. I look at the remaining portion and whisper, Who would have thought you had that in you? Then I think about how this rings true to life we all have parts of our hearts or stories that we think don t measure up. We call them unworthy and less than and put them to the side. But I have found that those are the places where glory and beauty are likely to show up and shout surprise! I thought seconds meant not best. Maybe it really means worth a second look. January 2 Praying for Rain ate at night while the household sleeps I straggle into the kitchen to a sink Lfull of waiting dishes. As I rinse a pan, I find myself praying desperate dreams for the future. I pray for what I want, but then feel convicted that I rarely pray for what I have. I then recalled this verse in Zechariah and suddenly my thoughts go back to a dry game farm with farmers who haven t seen rain in months. The sun-weathered men sit in their rough clothes at a long table outside for a meal. But with first bites come cold, hard drops of rain. And as the rain falls, the men carry on with their meal. Then the Lord said to me, They won t leave the rain, because they don t want it to leave them. In the season of rain, they want more rain. Now with soap suds up to my elbows, I realize that what I wanted so desperately in the past is what I have now: healed marriage, healthy children, the beginnings of meaningful work. And I don t want to lose sight of these in the chase after my next prayer request. I want to revel in what God has provided here and now. Between soap suds and dirty dishes, I decide to pray for what I have. I am sure of this, that he who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 1:6 Ask the LORD for rain in the season of spring rain. The LORD makes the rain clouds, and he will give them showers of rain and crops in the field for everyone. PHILIPPIANS 1:6 4 5

4 Sweet Tea for the Soul Down Home Devotions to Comfort the Heart Hardcover Book Ships: January 8, 2018 Page Count: 192 pages Price: $12.99 UPC: Prime: ISBN: BISAC: REL Christian Life Devotional 5" x 7" Devo Book Casebound Deboss, Spot UV on Cover This 90-day devotional is a follow up to our best-selling, Grits to Grace title. A light-hearted devotional with both truth and whimsical reflections on what matters. Charming devotions give us a fresh look at life offering calming reminders of God s grace, and a southern wink at our busy lives, reminding us why we are blessed. FELLOWSHIPPING FIREFLIES Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in heaven. MATTHEW 5:16. NKJV n the Great Smokey mountains of Tennessee, during a Itwo-week mating period in late spring, a unique species of fireflies is known to synchronize their flashing light patterns. Unlike other species of fireflies who blink their lights randomly, these bioluminescent beauties shine their individual lights with one accord. The Bible says that we are to walk as children of Light (Eph. 5:7-14) to a darkened world. The fruit of the Light is found in goodness and righteousness and truth. When we live our lives in synch with God s Word, we shine together with Him, the Light of the World (John 8:12), and we shine to His glory, piercing the darkness of this age. All I want to do is sit on the front porch and watch the fireflies. FAITH CHECK These special fireflies do not always flash in unison. Sometimes they flash in waves across the midnight hillsides. Or they flash together in harmonious short bursts that end suddenly in periods of darkness. Sometimes our lives look a lot like that too. But when we set our hearts to love God and one another, we cannot fail to shine.

EPHESIANS 1:4 NLT When you go to the grocery store, you look over the fresh produce available and carefully select the brightest, freshest fruits and vegetables you can find. Yet God s economy is so vastly different from ours! While we search for the best in life and throw out whatever is bruised or broken, God operates the other way around. Though we are battered and broken through sin, He chose us anyway. By His great grace, He has resurrected life from what was rotten. In Jesus, we are flawless in God s eyes. Father, thank You for choosing me to belong to You. GOD LOVES US BECAUSE OF WHO HE IS, NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT WE DO. 8 9

TRAIN HARD For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. 1 TIMOTHY 4:8 I m going into my junior year of high school football. I played JV last year and have a chance of starting on varsity this year. This summer I ve been hitting the weight room every morning at six before I go to work. A lot of my good friends think I am crazy. I m so tired at the end of the day that I have to hit the sack early. My friends laugh at me for not hanging out late. Even my mom thinks I am working too hard. I am beginning to wonder if I m putting too much effort into football. John, age 17 STUDY VERSES: Colossians 3:5-14 here s an old saying that says, whatever you do, Tdo to your best of your ability. It is inspired by a Bible verse that tells us: And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him (Colossians 3:18). But here s the deal. The Bible verse wasn t talking about every single activity we do. It was directed to areas of our lives where we can choose to be resentful or choose to be a positive witness. Doing absolutely everything to the best of our ability is a good thought, but probably not realistic. Not everything we do is of equal importance. Not everything we do matters as much to us. Not everything we do is a demonstration of our faith and integrity. It is no sin or lack of commitment to be casual about many of the activities in your life. But if being the best you can be on the football field and as a teammate is a big deal to you, make it a big deal in your offseason training. Don t do as little as you can; do all that you can. Put extra time in the weight room and on the track. Go the extra mile. Your determination, sacrifice, and work ethic will be a witness to your friends and teammates. And by the way, it will increase your opportunity to be a starter and make your team better. The Apostle Paul has been described as a small man. We know from his church letters that he had some physical limitations, including poor eyesight. He was probably not an athlete and if he was alive today, he wouldn t be on the football team or basketball squad. But Paul paid attention to sports and admired the commitment athletes made through their training. When he wrote a letter to Timothy, a young man that Paul coached up to be a mighty man of God, he used the athlete s training regimen 10 11

A Perfect Double Play WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON T GET TO PLAY YOUR FAVORITE POSITION? Since he started playing T-ball, Zackary played shortstop on every team he was on. He loved scooping up ground balls and making the throw to first place. And Zack was a very good shortstop. He almost never let a ball go between his legs into the outfield. In first, second, third, and fourth grades, Jack was always his team s shortstop. The summer before 5th grade, Zach moved up to a new league and a new team, the Sharks. He really liked his new coach and teammates, but was a disappointed when he learned that the Sharks already had a shortstop. His name was Jack. Zack was sent out by the coach to play second base. Zack tried not to be upset, but it didn t seem fair. He should at least get a chance to show how good he was. Zack wondered if he should talk to the coach after practice and ask if he could have a turn to try out for shortstop. But after watching Jack field hard ground balls, Zack had to admit, Jack was the best shortstop he had ever played with or against. No way could he beat Jack for the job. On the drive home after practice, Zack s mom noticed that he was very quiet. He was just staring out the window at cars driving the other direction. What s wrong, Zacky? she asked. Zack didn t like being called Zacky and was glad none of his friends or teammates were around to hear that name. He thought they might tease him. Nothing, he answered. Are you sure? his mom asked. It looks like something is bothering you. Did something bad happen at practice tonight? No. But I don t think I m going to get to play shortstop for the Blue Sharks, he said Why not? Mom asked. There s another kid. His name is Jack. And he s really really good. Well, you re very good, too, Jacky, she said. But not as good as him, Jack said glumly. Not by a long shot. So you re not going to get to play? she asked her son with concern. Yes, but I m playing second base, Jack answered. What s wrong with second base? she asked. It s not shortstop. The best infielder is always the shortstop. It sounds like Jack is the best infielder, she said softly. He is. Does that make your team better? she asked. Yes, Zack answered with a frown. Then you should be happy. Every good team has a good second baseman, too, right? Two weeks went by and the first game of the season arrived. The Blue Sharks were playing the 10 11
