Why veterinary costs are much higher than before

• Corporate veterinarian managers are pushing clinics to focus on profit, straining patients’ pockets.

Daily Inspiration

Today’s inspiration is drawn from Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”

God calls us to trust Him fully, surrendering our worries and knowing He directs our paths. In moments of uncertainty, it can be hard to let go of our understanding, but God’s wisdom is infinite and His plans for us are good. As we trust Him, we find peace that surpasses all understanding.

Question of the day

How can I handle fear and anxiety?

Philippians 4:6-7 advises us, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Bringing our fears to God in prayer and giving thanks can calm our hearts and invite His comforting presence, replacing anxiety with His peace.

Moment of Reflection

Pause and reflect on the beauty of creation around you. Nature reveals God’s creativity and care. Whether it’s a sunrise, a gentle breeze, or the sound of birds, let these moments remind you of His majesty and love for you.

Thought for the day

Ephesians 4:32 encourages kindness and compassion, reminding us to forgive others just as God has forgiven us. Consider the weight of grudges and harboring resentment. These serve as chains that bind us to past hurts. Forgiveness is a conscious choice to release these chains, enabling us to walk in freedom and peace. When we champion forgiveness, we mirror Christ’s love and pave the way for healing in our relationships.

Closing Blessing

May the presence of God go with you, bringing comfort and hope. May His promises uplift you, His Spirit guide you, and His peace fill you. Walk confidently in His blessings today and forever.
