Daily Inspiration, Scripture, Meditation and Prayer
March 31

Be a little kinder and gentler today, for this will show your real strength. Lord, may I become more patient and have the courage to live my life according to the example You set forth.

Scripture for the Day
"Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you through prophecy with the laying on of hands by the council of elders. Put these things into practice, devote yourself to them, so that all may see your progress. Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and your hearers." — 1 Timothy 4:14-16

Meditation for the Day
Each day is a day of progress, steady progress forward, if we make it so. We may not see it, but God does. God does not judge by outward appearance. God judges by the heart. We can let God see in our heart a simple desire to always do God's will. Though we may feel that our work has been spoiled or tarnished, God can see it as an offering for God. When climbing a steep hill, a person is often more conscious of the weakness of his stumbling feet than of the view, the grandeur, or even of the upward progress.

Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may persevere in all good things. I pray that I may advance each day in spite of my stumbling feet.
