Thank you GOD! You get the driver’s seat on every road trip we take! When GOD goes with us on a road trip, He gives us a feeling of peace and excitement as we start out. And we know, without a doubt, God is traveling with us all day. For when GOD goes with us on a road trip, we may be delayed, but we are not stranded. We may be interrupted, but we’re not stopped completely. We may be unnerved, but we are safe and taken care of. ~ Laura Rath ~ "'And the LORD, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”' ~ DEUTERONOMY 31:8 NKJV

O CHRIST JESUS, when all is darkness and we feel our weakness and helplessness, give us the sense of Your presence, Your love, and Your strength. Help us to have perfect trust in Your protecting love and strengthening power, so that nothing may frighten or worry us, for, living close to You, we shall see Your hand, Your purpose, Your will through all things.

Cultivating thankfulness today will allow us to cling to God’s goodness and mercy in our darkest hours. ~ Randy Alcorn ~ '“I thank You and praise You, O GOD of my fathers; You have given me wisdom and might, And have now made known to me what we asked of You, For You have made known to us the king’s demand.”' ~ DANIEL 2:23 NKJV

Let temporal things serve your use, but the eternal be the object of your desire. —Thomas A. Kempis -- "'but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."' ~ MATTHEW 6:20-21 NKJV

Only one life; will soon be past. Only what's done for Christ will last. ~ C. T. Studd ~ "'Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life."' ~ JOHN 6:47 NKJV

Words transform. Speak only with a good purpose. Say only things that serve you and others. Choose your words wisely. ~ Robert G. Allen ~ "'My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit."' ~ JOB 27:4 NKJV

The Light of GOD surrounds me; The Love of GOD enfolds me; The Power of GOD protects me; The Presence of GOD watches over me; Wherever I am, GOD is, And all is well. ~ "'For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, And He ponders all his paths."' ~ PROVERBS 5:21 NKJV
