Today we kicked off the show with Danny Gokey’s song, ‘New Day,’ which says, “this is a new day, everything’s bursting with hope…” and I started thinking, do we really feel that way? Sometimes, don’t we have to intentionally CHOOSE hope? That’s the topic of today’s Monday Motivation from author Lisa Samra. You can find the link to Our Daily Bread by clicking here.

Today’s Monday Motivation focuses on God’s unfailing love, despite our mess, and on joy.
Todd’s devotional today is called ‘The One Who Sees,’ from author James Banks. Read it by clicking here.
Joe’s devotional focuses on joy:
And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:9-11 ESV
Not to be confused with happiness, joy is not dependent on external circumstances. It’s a Holy Spirit-inspired mystery that defies all reason. Living joyfully is not denying reality. But in the midst of our ‘parched desert’ times, our heavenly Father reaches to lift and sustain us.
PRAYER: Giver of strength, fill me with Your joy in the midst of sorrow like a desert flower, Amen.
Joe’s Monday Motivation today comes from a daily devotional book he got as a Christmas gift – and today’s topic is creation:
“When times get bad, people cry out for help. They cry for relief from being kicked around, But never give God a thought when things go well, when God puts spontaneous songs in their hearts, When God sets out the entire creation as a science classroom, using birds and beasts to teach wisdom.
Job 35:9-11
In a world where such glory exists, why do we continually allow worldly concerns to occupy so much of our attention? Let God be our glory, and indeed, when we find ourselves most down, He will lift our heads up and show us all the wonders of His magnificent creation.
Todd’s devotional is called ‘The Bell,’ written by Evan Morgan, and addresses how we handle failure. Read more by clicking here.
