Daily Inspiration, Scripture, Meditation and Prayer
January 25

Avoid saying "No one knows." because God knows and understands more perfectly than we ourselves do. Calm my fears, Lord, and lift the burdens that I cannot carry alone.

Scripture for the Day
"Once Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, and he answered, 'The kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed; nor will they say, 'Look, here it is!' or 'There it is!' For, in fact, the kingdom of God is among you.'" — Luke 17:20-21

Meditation for the Day
I believe that complete surrender of my life to God is the foundation of serenity. God has prepared for us a dwelling place. I do not look upon that promise as referring only to the after-life. I do not look upon this life as something to be struggled through in order to get the rewards of the next life. The Kingdom of God is all around us, and we can enjoy it here and now as well.

Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may try to do God's will. I pray that such understanding, insight and vision shall be mine, that I may live in God's Kingdom and work for the coming of its fullness today and every day.
