After the busy holiday season is over, the beginning of a new year often prompts us to get back to a regular routine of reading the Bible, or find a new devotional to inspire us. Instant Messages from God’s Word is an inspirational calendar from DaySpring designed for those who want a short, but solid message to give them a spiritual boost or gentle reminder. The jumbo spiral flip calendar can rest on a desk, nightstand, or kitchen window sill. It is perfect for busy moms whose days are determined by the needs of their little ones.

Reading God’s Word each day draws us to a closer walk with Him. Each page of this DaySpring DayBrightener offers a Scripture verse, short devotional, and instant message (IM), to summarize the message from God’s point of view. A unique feature is that the Scripture verse coincides with the date of the year, making it easier to memorize the Scripture reference. For example, the verse for January 7  (1-7) is 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power, love and discipline (NASB).

The message for the day is as follows:

Children have fears, but so do adults. We may not fear monsters, but we may fear losing our jobs or our marriages. We fear for the well-being of our children. And maybe we fear an intimidating boss. God doesn’t want us to be fearful. Through the Holy Spirit, God gives us the power and courage we need to face our fears. Fear is from the enemy. Let’s call on God to give us a spirit of power to defeat the enemy today.

The Instant Message (IM) is: I give you My power.

Instant Messages from God’s Word is a great way to start your day, end your day, or pick you up in the middle of your day.
