January 9 - Baptism of the Lord

After Jesus was baptized, he came up from the water and behold, the heavens were opened (for him), and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove (and) coming upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, saying, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 3: 16-17).

This is quite a compliment. Can God say the same thing about us?

Heavenly Father, you loved Jesus and encouraged us to follow him. Help me to do just that.

Impact Sports: Do I hope that every one of my teammates plays their best?

Impact Life: I will encourage a teammate who is struggling this week.
