Guideposts – Devotions for Women – The Wisdom of Trees

That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.—Psalm 1:3 (NIV)

Like a tree, you are rooted in the soil of experiences, drawing nourishment from God’s Word and His love. Even in the face of storms and harsh weather, remember that your roots in faith keep you grounded. Let the image of a strong, resilient tree serve as a reminder of your strength and potential for growth.

Lord, guide me to be like the tree, rooted in Your word, bearing fruits of love, patience, and kindness.

Remember, the path to success is challenging, but the reward is worth it.

Again the Israelites cried out to the Lord, and he gave them a deliverer—Ehud, a left-handed man, the son of Gera the Benjamite.—Judges 3:15 (NIV)

Just like Ehud, you possess unique gifts that have been granted to you by God for a special purpose. Even Ehud’s uncommon left-handedness was used by God to deliver His people.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.—Romans 3:23–24 (NIV)

It’s important to remember that everyone makes mistakes. However, it’s not the mistake that defines you, but how you respond.

Guideposts – Devotions for Women – The Righteous Stand

 

Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.—James 1:27 (NLT)

The Bible reminds us to serve others and put their needs before our own. When you ask God to bring opportunities for you to serve Him by helping others, you’re not only fulfilling His commandment but also becoming a better person in the process.

Dear God, guide me to put my faith into action and serve others selflessly.

Just as Jesus multiplied five loaves and two fish to feed many people, He can also multiply your resources to meet your needs. It’s important to remember that God is not limited by earthly constraints; His abundance is limitless. Trust in His ability to provide for you, even when it may seem impossible.

“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.”—John 15:5 (NKJV)

Believe in your potential and aim high. As Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “Have great hopes and dare to go all out for them. Have great dreams and dare to live them. Have tremendous expectations and believe in them.” With faith and effort, anything is possible, for God has planted seeds of greatness within you.

Inspire me, Lord, to dream big and to support my dreams with action.

Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths.—Psalm 25:4 (NIV)

Surrendering control to God takes patience, bravery, and faith. When you place your confidence in His wisdom rather than relying on your limited understanding, you open the way for Him to lead you on a fulfilled and faith-filled journey.

Heavenly Father, help me let go of my desire for control and place my trust in You.

Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”—John 4:10 (NIV)

Like the Samaritan woman at the well, there may be times when you feel marginalized or judged. Remember that Jesus accepts and loves you as you are. His love offers you acceptance and salvation.

Guideposts – Devotions for Women – Embrace His Grace

 

The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.”—Luke 22:61–62 (NIV)

Even when you falter and deny your faith in moments of fear, like Peter during Jesus’ trial, remember that God’s grace is abundant. His forgiveness is not based on your perfection, but on His love for you. Embrace His grace, seek His forgiveness and let it transform you.

Lord, help me to learn from my failures, seek Your forgiveness and embrace Your grace, just like Peter did.
