The Bible Recap: Days 316-322
Jesus changes everything and everyone.
How Much Longer
A lot of life is made up of waiting. Let’s learn to wait well.
Here’s Your Sign
What sign do you need to recognize Jesus as the one true God? What will it take for our eyes to be opened to the truth of who He is and surrender to His authority?
Nobodies
I am a nobody. Nothing special. Just an ordinary person. Guilty of crimes. And Jesus gave His life for me.
Water and Fire
It may be that God wants you to be satisfied with Him, the giver of great blessings, before getting the blessing. It may be that He is getting you ready to experience Him in a whole new way. A fiery sort of way.
God Wins in the End
Like Jesus did often, take time to get away and pray. Seek the Lord’s wisdom and ask for discernment in this situation. Study His Word and live it out. You know who wins in the end.
The Bible Recap: Days 309-315
May Jesus find us being faithful about His Father’s work when He returns.
Wisdom in the Chaos
Jesus is the answer for troubled hearts, broken lives, and chaotic times.
It’s Not Over
Do you know Him? He offers you eternal life, victory over death and sin, and all you have to do is accept.
Pressure
Like the pressure of the earth creating diamonds out of carbon deposits, God is creating something beautiful out of you. It doesn’t make the trial or the storm any easier. But knowing God is at work is comforting in the midst.
Isn’t It Ironic?
Today, let’s allow the Lord to shine His truth into our lives, searching our intent and refocus on what’s really important.
The Greatest Redemption Story Ever
The enemy may have power in this world, but remember, God has overcome this world. All because of what Jesus did for us on the cross.
Jesus and Avocados
Like my avocado aversion, we can live our whole lives seeing God from a distance, never truly experiencing Him. We can miss out on incredible moments of God because we’re too afraid of letting go of our life preservers and getting out of our safety boats.
I Wonder…
Have you met Jesus? How did that change you? Have you professed that to the world? We all have a story to share, will you tell yours?
The Bible Recap: Days 302-308
Doubt is the killer of our dreams. And doubt is the killer of our faith.
A New Year and Your Closest Neighbor
Let’s seek to glorify God in and through our marriage this year.
Turn to Him
Turn to Him in your despair, anger, hurt, and frustration. Allow Him to work all things out for you.
Routine
When we look at our daily routine, do we have a time set aside for getting alone with God?
It’s A Different World
It’s a different world. We use the past for examples and guidance and move towards the future looking for new opportunities to make His name known. The message remains the same – Jesus saves.
I Would Never…
When we find ourselves in that position, in the middle of never-where, we have a choice. We can follow the example of Judas or we can follow the example of Peter.
A Fiery Faith
Fearing God isn’t being afraid of Him – it’s being scared of living life without Him.
The Bible Recap: Days 295-301
He follows us when we wander, He pursues us when we rebel—He just doesn’t give up on us.
Run With Endurance
We can run with endurance because God supplies what we need along the way.
Growing Toward It
We are not yet what we will be, but we are “growing toward it.”
Attention, Please!
Today, let’s remember what God has called us to do and do it. Don’t get focused on the wrong things, the things that won’t really matter in eternity.
Putting Off Procrastination
Why do we put off doing what we want to do?
You’re Invited
Jesus has invited all of us to the table. Will you come?
Time to Celebrate
If God has saved you, you have been brought into His marvelous light, as the scripture says. You have been changed! And it’s time to celebrate!
Intentionally Still
Don’t let this New Year begin without a renewed commitment to Him…His way, His time, His glory.
The Bible Recap: Days 288-294
Though we may not look the best on the outside, if we have a heart after Him, that’s all God needs to work mightily in our lives.
Real or Fake?
The Bible tells us to examine ourselves. Ask the tough questions about your salvation. Test yourself to see if you are truly saved.
We Have a Savior
To this day, the enemy prowls around seeking to destroy you. But you and I have an advocate. We have a Savior.
Early in the Morning
Jesus beckons. He calls us to join Him. To sit at His feet. To seek His face. To feel His presence.
The Bible Recap: Days 281-287
When we realize that we have nothing to give to Jesus but our hearts and our repentance, beautiful things happen.
What a Weird Chapter
When we draw near to God, He brings us comfort.
His Word is Good
God’s Word is worthy, withstands the pressure of change, and it’s an eternal commitment. If God says it, I believe it.
Languishing
Jesus works in our bad days, sometimes even more than on our good days.
It’s Worth It
Jesus never promised the road would be easy as His follower. In fact, time and time again, He pointed out how hard it would be. But the rewards far outweigh the risk.
