Jesus First For Men
When do you find time to connect with God? Even if we try to be intentional about it, everyday activities and responsibilities often find a way to take priority over our time with Jesus. Prayer can happen at any time, and of course it does, but there is value in setting aside a specific time to communicate with the Lord. The notion of getting alone with God to start the day was an example set by Jesus himself! He got up before daylight to pray in a solitary place. We don’t know what about or who for, we just know it was his way of connecting with the Father before doing anything else.
As you quiet yourself before him and meditate on these Scriptures, devotions, and prayers, experience the goodness of his presence, and be refreshed with his perfect peace. When you prioritize Jesus above everything, other concerns fade. Hope dawns with the new day. Tender mercies fall fresh. Boundless joy springs up from a well within. And you find the strength to walk through each day with grace for others and for yourself.

Feels Like Home
Izzy Abbott had a crush on Evan King when they were teenagers but hasn’t seen him in years. Out of nowhere, they have a chance encounter on the beach in Galveston. She is excited to see him, but the circumstances are less than ideal since Evan had been through a lot recently. Izzy considered getting in touch with him after that, but in the end she decides not to.
A twist of fate, an act of God, brings them together again over a year later. Izzy is convinced it is destiny this time. Thankfully, so is Evan.
Evan had recently lost his older brother and was grieving and exhausted when Izzy found him. He had no idea it was Izzy who helped him, but the events of that evening stuck with him. When they meet in passing nearly a year later Evan realizes Izzy had been there for him the evening of his brother’s death.
From that point on, they are inseparable. An ember of love suddenly bursts into flames, and the rest is history.

Lemons On Friday
When your life is suddenly full of questions, how do you move forward in faith?
After being married for less than a year, country music legend Alan Jackson’s daughter Mattie was faced with navigating a future that didn’t include her young husband and the life they dreamed of together.
Ben Selecman passed away twelve days after suffering a traumatic brain injury–and three weeks before celebrating his first anniversary with his wife. Suddenly, twenty-eight-year-old Mattie had to find a way to reconcile herself with a good God, even when He did not give her the healing miracle she prayed for.
In Lemons on Friday, Mattie Jackson Selecman invites you to walk with her during the first years of grief following Ben’s tragic death as she grapples with her loss and leans on a steadfast God.
Mattie wrestles with questions that we’ve all faced in the midst of grief and loss, including:
*How did I get here?
*Will this always hurt?
*Who am I now?
*Where can I find the strength to keep going?
Lemons on Friday will give you the encouragement you need to see life and love in a brand new light, no matter what you’re facing.
1 And 2 Peter
The epistles of 1 and 2 Peter are written to a scattered people of God who have begun to lose their sense of God’s mission in the world. These letters are an attempt to help these churches reorient and realign themselves with God. The challenges facing the churches addressed in the Petrine epistles are not unlike some of the challenges the church faces today, so studying Peter’s words can help guide us into a more faithful expression of our mission as followers of Christ. Explore in these letters themes of exile, cultural assimilation, suffering, our identity as God’s people, and the return of Christ. A faithful reading of God’s Word leads to a faithful response from God’s people. The Shaped by Scripture series teaches a simple, engaging method of studying the Bible that will lead to honest interpretation and a changed relationship with God.
Tu Hij At Puede Ser Millionari – (Spanish)
La infancia es una de las etapas en las que los padres forjan el camino de sus hijos y que mejor momento para que ensee el habito del ahorro a los mas pequeos del hogar sin que esto necesariamente se convierta en una tarea complicada.
De acuerdo con Ordaz Diaz, la transmision de conocimientos en una edad temprana permite evitar problemas a futuro, lo mismo en el caso de temas relacionados con educacion financiera. Existen tres pilares de solidez financiera que le ayudaran a forjar el camino para que sus hijos construyan su futuro financiero basado en el ahorro. El primero tiene que ver con ganar dinero; el segundo con saber administrarlo y el tercero en hacer que crezca el dinero. Se tienen las bases pero, como construir dichos pilares? En el caso del primero, que tiene que ver con ganar dinero, se necesita hablar con los nios todo lo que implica obtener recursos, como hacerlo y ensearle todo sobre dinero.
La construccion del segundo pilar (saber administrarlo) tiene que ver, en gran medida, con las acciones que se establecen en casa, por ejemplo, cuando los padres realizan compras, destinan recursos para el ahorro o un fondo de emergencias o simplemente no cuentan con el habito del ahorro, son seales con las que los nios crecen y en ocasiones replican cuando son adultos. Respecto al tercer pilar, que se relaciona con hacer crecer su dinero, el director de Educacion Financiera en Citibanamex explica que en Mexico el tema de las inversiones aun es un reto ya que “eso generalmente no se ensea”, sin embargo actualmente con herramientas como las Afores o cuentas de Cetesdirecto para nios le permitiran construir a largo plazo una inversion que servira para afrontar momentos de crisis, por ello la importancia de que los padres pongan el ejemplo y acompaen a sus hijos en la construccion de su camino financier.
Childhood is one of the stages in which parents forge the path of their children and what better time to teach the habit of saving to the youngest members of the household without necessarily becoming a complicated task.
According to Ordaz Diaz, the transmission of knowledge at an early age allows avoiding problems in the future, the same in the case of issues related to financial education. There are three pillars of financial strength that will help pave the way for your children to build their financial future based on savings. The first has to do with making money; the second with knowing how to manage it and the third with making money gro
