Give Thanks In Everything
on June 9th, 2020
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:18) When Paul wrote the words of today’s key verse, he was writing a letter to provide encouragement to believers who were enduring persecution. He did not want the believers then, and does not want us now, to allow what we’re going through to cause us to lose hope. For it is God’s will that even w... Read More

Finding Courage
on June 8th, 2020
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6) One of the toughest realizations all Christians must come to is that we do not have to be perfect to be accepted by God. But once you realize this truth, you’ll learn to find the courage to press on and persevere when things aren’... Read More

Faults Aren’t Final
on June 7th, 2020
By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect... Read More

Facing Loss
on June 6th, 2020
At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised. (Job 1:20-21) What would you do if you lost everything you had? If we’re being honest, many of us would probably stop going to church, stop reading the... Read More

Don’t Disqualify Yourself
on June 5th, 2020
God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ “This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation.” (Exodus 3:15) In the passage preceding today’s key verse, Moses is standing before a burning bush telling God everything that’s wrong with himself. Think... Read More

Beauty In Imperfection
on June 4th, 2020
Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins. (Ecclesiastes 7:20) In 2013, Keith Jarrett of the jazz band “The Standards” released an album called Somewhere.

A New Perspective On Failure
on June 3rd, 2020
For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again. (Proverbs 24:16) We all make mistakes. We’ve missed the mark at one time or another. Scripture reminds us of this inevitable fact when it says all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Some mistakes are big, with huge consequences and implications, and others are small. But we all make mistakes, nonetheless. It doesn’t matter ... Read More

A Living Testimony
on June 2nd, 2020
In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing. (Job 1:22) When Job faced all of the intense hardship of the first part of his life, he never complained, nor did he allow his situation to affect his behavior. If only we so easily followed Job’s example. Unfortunately for many people, something goes wrong and they go to the bar and drink their life away. They end up throwing their lif... Read More

A Compassionate And Gracious God
on June 1st, 2020
But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. (Psalm 86:15) Have you ever taken the time to really think about how gracious God is towards you? Even if you tried to think about it, there’s no way you could fully grasp and fathom just how gracious, merciful, and loving the Lord is towards you and every other one of His children. This is su...

Revenge Is Not The Answer
on January 12th, 2020
“You say, ‘I choose the appointed time; it is I who judge with equity.’” (Psalm 75:2)One of the greatest comforts we have as followers of Christ is that the Lord protects us and fights our battles. We serve a strong, capable, righteous God who takes care of injustice in His own way and in His own time. Unfortunately, we don’t always rest in this comfort and instead try to take matters into our own... Read More

There Is More To Your Story

“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” (Proverbs 16:9)How many times have you had a plan in mind for how you wanted something to go, but things ended happening completely differently than you ever expected? For many of us, this has happened more times than we can count. While sometimes it can be frustrating when life doesn’t turn out the way we thought i... Read More

Wait With Great Expectation
on January 8th, 2020
“Restore our fortunes, Lord, like streams in the Negev.” – Psalm 126:4There is so much we can learn from this short verse in the middle of Psalm 126. In verse four, the psalmist is asking God to bring greater deliverance than anything the Israelites have already experienced, just like He fills the streams in Negev – the dry, parched desert in the south of the land – with massive amounts of water. ...

When Life Doesn’t Look The Way You Thought It Would
on January 6th, 2020
“’For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,’ declares the Lord. ‘As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.’” – Isaiah 55:8-9One of the hardest things you have to do in life is to adjust to finding yourself in circumstances you did not plan to be in or that you do not want to be in.

“We praise you, God, we praise you, for your Name is near; people tell of your wonderful deeds.” (Psalm 75:1)When we go through a disappointing, traumatic, or devastating circumstance, it can be hard for us to move forward if we can’t get closure on the matter.
