How Much Longer
A lot of life is made up of waiting. Let’s learn to wait well.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Languishing
Jesus works in our bad days, sometimes even more than on our good days.
Jesus Wept; So Can You
Sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is weep.
Restore. Refresh. Renew.
It’s time to let Jesus do what needs to be done in our lives. Restore. Refresh. Renew.
Plenty of Room
Eternal death awaits unless you accept Christ as your Savior and follow Him.
Rise Up and Know
God chases us down our whole lives to remind us not only does He love us, but out of the fullness of this love, He can do the impossible. He’s a God after our own hearts.
Are You In The Fire?
Are you struggling against your sin or are you complacently accepting it?
Banana Peels
It’s time to check our walk. Are we throwing out banana peels? Are there things in our life that are causing our brother to stumble?
The Man with No Name
Are you spending your life trying to make a name for yourself? Or glorifying the One who truly matters?
Ulterior Motives
And the beautiful thing is that He still loves us. He sees the dark truth within us and yet, He chooses to love and forgive us.
Oh, the Father’s Love for Us
God invites you to dine at His table. He has a feast prepared for you, a robe of righteousness to place on you, shoes of peace that will allow you to go and share your story of His goodness.
Jump on the Bandwagon
Are you willing to do whatever it takes to follow Jesus? Will you still be there in the end, or will you be one of those that jumps off the bandwagon?
Everyone Matters. Everyone Counts.
You matter to God. Today, choose to follow Him.
Service > Status
In God’s Kingdom, service is more important than status.
Impacted by Identity
God gives believers an identity that changes everything.
Simply Trust and Obey
This is what salvation is all about. In return for this beautiful gift that we could never have earned, all we can offer to our Lord and Savior is a life fully surrendered to Him.
One Unsuspecting Moment
You can spend a lifetime praying for God to work and then one unsuspecting moment can bring His answer.
Less of Me
Less of me, more of Him. Sounds like a pretty good recipe to me.
Lessons from the Lake
Deep down we’ve all imagined the water-walking experience. But, sadly, we tend to merely dangle our toes in the shallows.
What Would You Do?
There will always be an enemy who seeks to destroy your testimony and work for the Lord. Don’t lose focus. Keep working for Him and respond accordingly.
Spiritual Amnesia
The cure for spiritual amnesia is daily doses of turning to Jesus.
Cleaning Out the Pot
Unless we are filled with something meaningful and lasting, we will never see true growth or fruit. We must be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Chasing Shade
God teaches us and works in and around us in times of ease and in times of difficulty.
Keep Seeking and Knocking
Keep going to the Lord. Keep asking, seeking and knocking. You’ll find more than you ever imagined.
Don’t Reject Jesus
We have the opportunity to cry out to our God and confess our sins, seeking His help to repent of those sins and follow Him.
Swim Hole
God offers us Living Water, but we often look to everything else for refreshment.
Know That You Know
When God tests our faith, or when He tells us to test our faith, it is for the purpose of giving us assurance and revealing the truth.
A Teachable Moment
Jesus has the power to cleanse us from all unrighteousness and shame.
All Eyes On You
All eyes are looking to you, waiting, searching for how to respond.
