About the Author
A Note from Elizabeth
Imagine placing God foremost in your heart each morning and striking out on His path for your day, deliberately living for Him. As you commit yourself to God each day, He will work in your heart!
I pray these devotions for busy women like you will help inspire you to draw nearer to God and live out His plans for you. How is this done? The answer: via small steps with big results-living God s way one day at a time. Practicing God s order of priorities for you one day at a time. Committing the many different areas of your life to God one day at a time.
Treat yourself to jewels of wisdom based on God s Word each day. Enjoy the scriptures and messages in this devotional created just for you, a woman who loves the Lord with all her heart. Be inspired to grow. Be willing to change. Be encouraged to take bold steps in handling your problems or facing difficulties. Most of all, become more knowledgeable of God s character and His great love for you.
May your journey to greater faith and trust in God be filled with joy and delight!
1
God s Grace

Do you know that the sustaining power of God is packaged in His grace? Life can deliver some tough blows, but God s marvelous grace enables us to go from strength to strength through all the trials. Second Corinthians 12:9 promises that God s grace is sufficient-that it is made perfect in our weakness. I know that encourages my heart. Take that trial you re experiencing and bring it to the Lord. Lay it at His feet. Look to Him. Count on His grace and power in every situation. It s there. It s given to you. And it brings the peace you so long for.
Bless you in your journey to become a woman after God s own heart.
Father, my heart overflows with the love and blessings You ve given me. Even in the midst of my trials and sorrow I can be joyful in my heart because I know You are in charge. Amen .

The Things of God

Redeeming your time is so important. What do I mean? Time is redeemed when you make the most of your life by fulfilling God s purposes. As you line up your life and seize every opportunity for useful service, your life takes on an efficient quality. That may be difficult to imagine since you re so busy, but as you focus on doing the business of God, time expands. I don t know who wrote this poem, but it s so true:
I have only just a minute.
Only sixty seconds in it
Just a tiny little minute.
But eternity is in it.
As your heart becomes more dedicated to God, you ll reclaim, recover, retrieve, rescue, and regain the minutes, hours, and days of your life for His glory.
Jesus, what a precious gift time is! Please keep me aware of my stewardship of this great award. Help me make good use of every hour, realizing that once spent, it can never be returned to me. Amen .

Guard Your Time

What stole your day from you today? Was it putting off something you knew you should do? Something important for living out God s plan for your life? It s been said, If you don t plan your day, someone else will plan it for you. Who s the best person to create your schedule? You, of course! Who has prayed through your priorities and desires to do God s will? It s you again, dear friend. Don t let someone plan your day who is clueless about your goals and your God-given desires and priorities. God has given you today to serve Him. Plan your day. Schedule your day. Protect your day.
Lord, surely You have set the hours of my day before me. Help me guard them diligently, making the most of each moment. Give me wisdom as I plan the many details of my busy life. Most of all, keep me mindful of You in the midst of everything I have to do. Amen .

A Today Resolution

You don t have to wait until New Year s Day to make a resolution about your schedule. Why not make one today? First, pray over your priorities: Lord, what is Your will for me at this time of my life? Now plan through your priorities and prepare a schedule: Lord, when should I do the things that live out these priorities today?
