TODAY’S READING
Psalm 92:12-15

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Whether at my best or most vulnerable, God is always with me.

The righteous will flourish like a palm tree . . . planted in the house of the Lord. – Psalm 92:12-13 (NIV)

One day our women’s group planted seeds in several flower boxes. I was in charge of one flower box. We agreed that once the plants were about 2 inches tall, we would replant them in a garden. But while I was carrying the flower box home, the potting soil shifted, displacing some of the seeds from their original rows. I was certain this project would fail. However, after several days of extra special care my little plants were growing. They even seemed to be growing better than some of the other boxes.

Life can sometimes jostle us about, causing disorientation and placing us in situations that make us vulnerable. But we can take heart in the words of scripture: “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness” (Col. 2:6-7, NIV). With God by our side, we can flourish and face life’s challenges.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Almighty God, thank you for the special care you give us. Keep us rooted in the soil of your love so we can grow and prosper. Amen.
