Psalm 31:1-5, 15-16

31:1 In you, O LORD, I seek refuge; do not let me ever be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me.
31:2 Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily. Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me.
31:3 You are indeed my rock and my fortress; for your name's sake lead me and guide me,
31:4 take me out of the net that is hidden for me, for you are my refuge.
31:5 Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God.
31:15 My times are in your hand; deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors.
31:16 Let your face shine upon your servant; save me in your steadfast love.

ABUNDANT HEALTH

Extend Grace
Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. Romans 15:7 (NIV)

Liberate those around you by showing grace. Respond with encouragement and support when others make mistakes or hit a rut on their journey toward better health. When people know they’re loved even as they face setbacks, they feel safe and free. Who can you encourage that way today?
