'When God Stays Away' — Matthew 2:13
Key Thought
Egypt was a long hard journey and a great unknown to this young family. Yet, it was God's place of protection. God's commands can call us to something that is unfamiliar and uncomfortable or that we consider difficult or undesirable. Yet, throughout revealed Scripture, the Father shows us his reason for these demands. He wants to protect us and bless us, just as he protected Joseph, Mary, and Jesus from King Herod at this crucial juncture in Jesus' life. When fully analyzed, God's commands are not unreasonable demands, but they are part of his protection. When we do what God commands, we are blessed and protected in ways we may never understand. In addition, our obedience ensures that we are available to be used by him, in his work, at his time.
Today's Prayer
Thank you, God, for caring not only about my holiness, but also about my physical and spiritual protection. Give me strength to stay away from those things you prohibit, courage to do what you ask of me, and excitement to enjoy the life I have in you. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

As we enter this new month, let's take a moment to reflect on our hopes and aspirations, grounding them in our faith. Here are some prayer points that might resonate with your heart:
1. Gratitude and Praise:
Let's begin by thanking God for His faithfulness in bringing us into this new month. The Psalmist reminds us, Psalm 100:5, "Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations."
2. Spiritual Growth:
May this month bring opportunities for deepening our relationship with God. Consider the words in Colossians 2:7, "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."
3. Protection and Guidance:
Ask for God's protection and guidance in all endeavors this month. Remember the promise in Proverbs 3:6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
4. Provision and Blessings:
Seek God's provision for all needs, both material and spiritual. Reflect on Philippians 4:19, "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus."
5. Strength and Courage:
Pray for strength to face any challenges that may arise. Draw comfort from Joshua 1:9, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
6. Love and Compassion:
Ask for a heart filled with love and compassion towards others. Meditate on 1 Corinthians 16:14, "Do everything in love."
7. Peace and Joy:
Seek the peace and joy that comes from God alone. Remember John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
As you pray through these points, may you feel God's presence and love surrounding you. May this new month be filled with His blessings, guidance, and grace.
Amen

A New Heart
Here, the Lord is talking about a heart transplant, though not a physical transplant, but a spiritual one. The heart is more than a bodily organ that pumps life-giving blood to the rest of the body. The heart is symbolic of all that it means to be human. There are about 3,500 heart transplants done every year around the world, and we may well be one of the first generation to understand how a new heart can replace an old one. Therefore, we can understand how a new heart can radically change and alter us forever. And having such a new heart will give us a strange and wondrous feeling that Someone greater than ourselves is living inside us, and how grateful we are to the One who has given it to us so that we may live. We can be grateful, because beating inside of us is God’s own heart. Often times when we think of the heart, we think of it in terms of love, romance, and compassion. And while the heart may be that, in the Bible the heart is the seat of wisdom; it is where all of our decisions are made. Solomon said that as a person thinks in their heart, that is who they really are (Proverbs 23:7a).
On the conflicting end, it is from our hearts that most of our problems develop. The prophet Jeremiah makes this observation; “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked” (Jeremiah 17:9 NKJV). And so the condition of our hearts is extremely important. Jesus said, “The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks” (Luke 6:45 NIV). And while this is the main reason why we need a new heart, that is, our hearts are evil because of the sin nature inside of us, we also need a new heart, a heart of flesh, because our hearts have become hardened by the trials and cruelty of life. Ask God for a new heart that will follow His will for your life. It is safer to do so.
Prayer:
Father, grant unto me a heart that will follow Your will for me in Jesus’ Name.
Text: _I will give you a new heart … I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh…_ Ezekiel 36:26 NKJV

'This One Always Obeys' — Matthew 2:14-15
Key Thought
God moves in mysterious ways and uses common people to do his work and accomplish his will. The connection between an Old Testament reference and its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus depended on Joseph's doing what God asked him to do in the middle of the night. While we know so very little about Joseph, one thing we do know: When God asked him to do the unthinkable, the crazy, and the unheard of, he didn't argue or hesitate; he obeyed — not just once, but repeatedly (Matthew 1:24, 2:19-21). I don't know about you, but I hope that I can have the courage and faith to be that bold and obedient!
Today's Prayer
Give me courage and faith, O Lord, to trust and obey as Joseph did. Humble me gently, dear Father, until my pride gives way to one truth: "No matter what God asks, this one always obeys." Father, I make this request in the name of Jesus, who lived and died to be obedient to your will and save me from my sins. Amen.
