Daily Inspiration, Scripture, Meditation and Prayer
July 10

It is important to remember that different can be better. Lord, as I resist change and cling to the familiar, help me to remember that Your plan is perfect and will truly make me happy.

Scripture for the Day
"One of the scribes came near and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, he asked him, 'Which commandment is the first of all?' Jesus answered, 'The first is, 'Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.' The second is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these.' " — Mark 12:28-31

Meditation for the Day
To truly desire to do God's will, therein lies happiness for us. We can start out wanting our own way. We want our wills to be satisfied. We can take and not give. Gradually, we can find that we are not happy when we are selfish, so we begin to make allowances for other people's wills. But this again does not give us full happiness, and we begin to see that the only way to be truly happy is to try to do God's will. In these times of meditation, we can seek to get guidance so that we can find God's will for us.

Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may subordinate my will to the will of God. I pray that I may be guided today to find God's will for me.
