Today’s quote from part 24 of the Self-Care Blog series:

Yoga does not require any expensive equipment. Other than a yoga mat that will keep you from sliding around, there’s nothing to buy because yoga relies on your own body weight for resistance. There is some optional equipment that you can choose to utilize including a yoga ball for balance and a yoga block or two. — Julia Bruce

Bible Trivia Answer:

Did you have the correct answer to our Bible Trivia Question?

Here’s today’s Bible Trivia answer:

Bible Trivia Answer graphic

You can read about Jesus commissioning the disciples to be His witnesses in Acts 1:8.

Check back tomorrow for a new Bible trivia question.

Right click and copy this graphic then paste it in your social media and help us call the people of God to pray and fast for America or email julia.bruce@wellspringchristianministries and request a copy of the graphic.

Will you pray and fast with us and lead your
church to pray for God to send a revival to America?

This week, we are preparing our hearts for a day of fasting and prayer by focusing on humbling ourselves before a Holy God.

#revival #America #Godsholiness #ourhumility #prayandfast

Did you remember to read your Bible today?

Do you have a daily Bible reading plan? If not, we invite you to join us as we read the Bible through in one year. Each day we post the selected Scripture to read with links to read it online. Join us in God’s Word today!


Need a hint to today’s Bible Trivia question? You’ll find the answer in today’s Bible reading plan.

Today’s verse to meditate on:

Nehemiah 1:6-7
let your ear be attentive and your eyes open, to hear the prayer of your servant that I now pray before you day and night for the people of Israel your servants, confessing the sins of the people of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Even I and my father’s house have sinned. We have acted very corruptly against you and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, and the rules that you commanded your servant Moses.

Have you learned this week’s memory verse?

Isaiah 57:15

For thus says the One who is high and lifted up,
    who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:
“I dwell in the high and holy place,
    and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly,
    and to revive the heart of the contrite.

Do you serve in ministry? If so, you’ll want to browse our self-care blogs.

In the series of blogs, we breakdown why people in ministry need to practice self care, explain the differences between stress, burnout, and compassion fatigue, and combine both psychology and Biblical principles to help pastors, missionaries, small group leaders, worship pastors, nursery workers, facility/maintenance staff, religious non-profit staff, and any other ministry staff understand why self-care is crucial to you continuing the work God’s called you to do.

If you can relate to this, then take some time to read our self care blogs.

You can check out our Christian t-shirts for men, women, kids and infants in our Teespring and Spreadshop stores. You can also find the designs on mugs, bags, aprons, hats, and more. We also have some Christian themed canvas art available at Teespring. Browse the stores with the links below:
