Deep Dive Into Matthew
Trust Like Joseph
In this first episode of our three-part series, Jose, Fernanda, and Marlon get real about letting go of control and fully trusting God—even when the math ain't mathing.
From personal struggles with needing to know everything, to going with the flow, to straight-up overthinking, we break down what it looks like to trust God’s plan when life feels messy and uncertain.
💬 We also dive into Joseph’s story (Matthew 1–2) and why his obedience to God—despite confusion, fear, and doubt—was a game-changer for the entire world. Literally.
💭 Why Joseph’s trust mattered:

Keeping Them Safe on Their Device
Parenting in the digital age comes with unique challenges, but it also offers opportunities to build stronger connections with your kids. In this episode of Stand Firm Parents, Jake McCandless sits down with Jon Dodson, Director of Internet Broadcasting and Digital Strategy at LifeWord, to unpack practical strategies for navigating technology in your family.
Jon emphasizes that maturity, not just age, should determine when a child is ready for a device. He highlights three major loopholes kids use to sidestep parental boundaries and shares actionable tips to close those gaps while fostering trust and communication. Tools like Qustodio andBark are invaluable, but the heart of this episode is the reminder that no app or tool can replace a strong parent-child relationship.
Whether you’re preparing to give your child their first device or dealing with existing challenges, this conversation equips parents with wisdom and confidence to guide their kids responsibly through the digital world. Protecting your kids online isn’t about perfection—it’s about preparation and intentionality.

David didn’t just fight battles—he raised up men to continue the fight.
Jesus calls us to do the same.
Discipleship isn’t about gathering knowledge for yourself. It’s about pouring into others so that the next generation can stand strong in the faith. You may think that you do not know enough and that you are not able to train someone else. The reality is that you know more than someone else, who needs to know what you know! Discipleship does not mean you have graduated from the school of sanctification. It means that you know the importance of training others in what you know and how you live according to biblical truth and reliance on the Holy Spirit
3 Points of Prayer
Lord, show me who I need to invest in.
Give me wisdom in discipling others.
Continue to grow my faith so that I am more and more like Christ

David trained warriors and made sure they were equipped. Jesus does the same thing.
One of the most dangerous things a Christian can do is step into a battle unprepared. The Bible warns us that we have a real enemy who is constantly trying to destroy us. But God has not left us defenseless—He has given us armor.
The belt of truth – because deception is Satan’s favorite weapon.
The breastplate of righteousness – because holiness guards our hearts.
The shield of faith – because the enemy will try to shake our confidence.
The helmet of salvation – because our hope in Christ protects our minds.
The sword of the Spirit – because God’s Word is our greatest weapon.
Are you putting on your armor daily? Or are you stepping into battle exposed and vulnerable?
Points of Prayer
Lord, help me to recognize the spiritual battles around me.
Equip me with Your armor so that I stand firm in faith.
Teach me to wield the sword of Your Word effectively.

Lori Cline's Greatest Hits: Speak To It - Part 2
The words we speak in truth should always reflect the love and grace of Jesus.
#theloriclineshow

~~~
Is it easy for you to ‘speak to it’?
For some of you ‘high justice’ people, I know it is!
You see someone doing something that isn’t right, someone’s misbehaving or someone’s stepping out of line… you gotta speak to it!
As believers, we are called to “speak to it”, IN LOVE, when we see a brother or sister putting back on the ways of the ‘old man’ they used to be. We should be walking daily in the newness of life that Christ has put on us and in doing so, our walk and talk should imitate that of Christ. HE is our standard. So, when any one part of the body begins to break down or not live or walk in the way they should go, we’re called to speak to it and remind one another WHO WE ARE in Christ and who we SHOULD NOT be.
The Bible speaks truth to EVERYTHING in our life. Got questions? It’s FULL of answers. Don’t take my word for it, dig into it for yourself. But you must be ready to take yourself off the throne and put God back on it. When you do that, the words in these pages satisfy your soul like nothing else can and your path is made clear.
We’re focusing this week on the words of Paul in Ephesians chapter four. Paul is speaking to the way the church is acting. The believers were ‘grieving the spirit’ in how they were treating one another, how there were living and speaking. Paul loved them so much, he had to speak to it.
Ephesians 4:29-32
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Think about your words. Does the way you talk reflect the love and grace of Jesus? Do you tear others down way more than you build them up, all under the guise of sarcasm? We’re wounding our own body when we hurt those we should be loving.
Do you hold bitterness in your heart for a brother or sister? Drop all the surface things you may disagree on and let’s get back to the heart. Paul doesn’t tip toe around anything. Get RID of ALL bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. This is speaking directly to the heart of believers who should know better. You may not actually go rage out and ACT on what your feeling, because that could land you in jail, but the INTENT is just the same. Consider this the next time you become outraged on social media over differing opinions. Consider this when you feel misunderstood. Do your words do more harm than good? Build UP more than you tear down.
Paul wraps up his loving rebuke with grace. Be kind. Be compassionate. Extend forgiveness and grace because of the undeserved grace God extends to us through Christ.
Friends we forget our own desperate need for grace and stand in judgment too easily. We get angry, we hold bitterness in our heart, we focus more on things of this world and the way we talk and act looks nothing like Jesus. We grieve His spirit in us and have forgotten where we once were. God forgive us.
A preacher friend put it this way - when you remember the grace that you’ve come from, you walk and talk into who you’re CALLED to be.
That’s the truth.
May our hearts be open to hear so we live reflecting more of Jesus to the world around us. That’s our mission and we should love one another enough to speak to it, in LOVE, extending grace, as the Lord leads us all.

Jesus, The Greater King

~~~
David was a great king. But Jesus is the greater King.
The battles in 2 Samuel 21 remind us of David’s first battle—the one against Goliath in 1 Samuel 17. But this time, it isn’t just David slaying giants. His men are stepping up, proving that David has raised up warriors who will continue the fight.
In the same way, Jesus doesn’t just fight for us—He fights through us.
Where David fought against the Philistines, Jesus fights a greater battle—against sin, death, and the enemy himself.
David defeated giants with a sword; Jesus defeated Satan with the Word of God (Matthew 4:1-11).
David was a lamp to Israel; Jesus is the Light of the World (John 8:12).
David raised up warriors; Jesus raises up disciples to continue His mission (Matthew 28:19-20).
David was great, but Jesus is infinitely greater. And here’s the good news: Jesus has already won the victory. The battles we fight now are fought with the full assurance that the war has already been won.
Points of Prayer
Lord, thank You for fighting the battle I could never win.
Help me to trust in Your victory rather than trying to fight in my own strength.
Teach me to walk in the confidence of Your triumph.

The Lamp Of Israel
A life lived for Christ is a light in the darkness. Keep your lamp burning.
#daybydayvideo
Interested in learning more about becoming a devoted follower of Christ? Go to follow.lifeword.org!
~~~
David was more than just a fighter—he was a light to the people of Israel. That’s why his men said to him, “You shall no longer go out with us to battle, lest you quench the lamp of Israel.”
Think about that.
These mighty warriors recognized that David was more than just a king; he was a guiding light for the nation. His leadership, his devotion to God, and his courage shined brightly, illuminating the path forward for Israel.
And this isn’t just about David. The imagery of light runs throughout the entire Bible.
Psalm 119:105 – “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
John 8:12 – “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
Matthew 5:14 – “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.”
David’s men weren’t just protecting a king; they were protecting a lamp—a light that helped guide the people in righteousness. They knew that without his leadership, Israel would be in the dark.
Now, here’s the challenge for us: Are we shining as lamps?
Does your life bring light to your home?
Does your presence bring clarity and guidance to others?
Are you pointing people toward God, or leading them into darkness?
Perhaps the greatest tragedy isn’t when a lamp is extinguished—it’s when a lamp refuses to shine in the first place.
3 Points of Prayer
Lord, help me to shine as a light in my home, workplace, and community.
Keep me from growing dim with discouragement or sin.
Let my life point others to You.

Even though the truth can hurt sometimes, it still must be spoken in love.
#theloriclineshow

~~~
Have you ever had to speak to it? Mamas I know you have!
It’s a moment you simply can’t be silent. Truth needs to be spoken into a situation and you just can’t hold your tongue!
A child is misbehaving and a parent is no where to be found, girl I got to speak to it! What about you see someone intentionally break in line where some patient soul has been waiting? I might need to speak to it!
I know you have some moments coming to your mind when you had to ‘speak to it’. For me it’s when enough is enough and I come to the place where truth HAS to be spoken.
Families, in love, sometimes must come together and speak to it.
It is time to get a job!
This relationship is bringing you down more than it’s lifting you up!
You are headed down a dark road If you keep making these choices for your life.
Sometimes we must speak to the GIANT elephant in the room!
The TRUTH can hurt. But still… it MUST be spoken.
Did you know, if you are a believer and follower of Jesus, you are called to ‘speak to it’? You are.
Well, Lori, that’s just not my business. I don’t need to go ruffling feathers or saying something that might hurt someones feelings.
IF it’s the truth, and they are a brother or sister in Christ, it IS your business. You do need to ruffle those feathers, feelings may get hurt, they may get mad, but you are members of the SAME body! We forget that don’t we!
If I break a leg, am I going to ignore it, let it get infected or heal back crooked so I can’t walk? NO! It’s my body. We want to take care of our body and often yes it hurts to clean out a wound or reset a bone, but it MUST be done to heal so the whole body functions and moves the way it was intended.
Romans 12:5 and 1 Corinthians chapter 12 speak to this in that, IN CHRIST, we are one body, made up of many members. I love verse 26 of 1 Corinthians chapter 12 that says, “If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.”
We don’t think of it that way enough. We are called to love one another and speak the truth IN LOVE so we may be whole, working together as one for the cause of Christ.
In that spirit, I’m gonna speak to it.
Ephesians 4:25-28
Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.
Body of Christ, stop lying to yourselves and to one other! That’s NOT love. LIVE out and speak the TRUTH in love. Romans 6:4 calls us to walk in the NEWNESS of life, but spiritual DECAY has set in the hearts of many! Clean it out. Renew your mind with the truth! If you get angry, don’t sin! Believers are NOT called to violence, hate, slander or judgment. We are to be SLOW to anger and quick to listen to the pain and needs of the body.
Stop stealing! Work for what you need. God established work for your good so get to work and God will bless you so you can in turn bless those around you.
That my friends is the TRUTH in love. No getting around it. Spoken by the Apostle Paul to the church. That’s you and me. He spoke to it. He wasn’t afraid to and we shouldn’t be either. God give us ears now to hear and repentant hearts moved to change so the world sees a healthy body at work for the cause of Christ. That’s why we must ‘speak to it’ IN LOVE.
That’s the truth.
Paul speaks to it even more in the rest of Ephesians chapter 4. We’ll look at that next time. Follow along with us at Lifeword.org.

Fighting The Right Battles
Not every battle is worth fighting. Spend your strength on the ones that advance God’s kingdom, not your own pride.
#daybydaylw
Interested in learning more about becoming a devoted follower of Christ? Go to follow.lifeword.org!
~~~
One thing that stands out in 2 Samuel 21:19-21 is the sheer number of battles being fought. This isn’t just one showdown—there are four separate battles recorded, each against a Philistine warrior, each involving a different man of Israel stepping up.
This reminds us that life is filled with battles. But not all battles are the right ones. What are you fighting for?
David’s men fought for Israel, for their people, and for God’s honor. They weren’t fighting over personal grudges, political opinions, or petty squabbles. They were fighting for something that mattered.
Compare this to the battle that Saul and Israel refused to fight against Goliath in 1 Samuel 17. The whole army was paralyzed by fear, unwilling to step up, even though the cause was just. Now, under David’s leadership, we see a completely different picture: men who are willing, even eager, to stand in the fight.
We, too, are called to fight the right battles. Paul reminds us in Ephesians 6:12 that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world.” In other words, our fight is not against people—it is against sin, against the enemy, and against the darkness that tries to creep into our lives and homes.
How often do we waste our strength fighting the wrong battles?
Fighting for our own reputation instead of for God’s glory.
Fighting for comfort instead of fighting against sin.
Fighting with people instead of fighting for their salvation.
David’s men show us what it looks like to engage in the right fight. The question for us is, Are we fighting the battles that actually matter?
Points of Prayer
Lord, help me to discern which battles are worth my energy.
Give me wisdom to avoid conflicts that are distractions.
Strengthen me to fight for truth, righteousness, and Your kingdom.

Lori Cline's Greatest Hits: Ask For Help
When struggling with a decision, we should ask God for the answer and trust Him to reveal it.
#lifeperspectivespodcast

~~~
Is it difficult for you to ask for help?
For many of us I’m afraid it is! We want to be able to do whatever it is ourselves. We got it. No help needed. But is that really always the case? No! We all NEED help sometimes.
For all the busy body types watching this, how many times have you really wanted help with something, NEEDED help, but didn’t ask for it? Someone might even ask, can I do anything? You’re reply, “no, no I got it.”
But do we really? Do we really ‘got it’? No, we don’t. And then we get all bent out of shape because we did it all by ourselves. Repeat after me, I need help.
It’s true! We all need help sometimes. But why is it so hard to ask for it?
For me… I want you to think I got it ALL under control. I learned this long ago and still I am learning this. I fall into the “no one can do it like me” category, which falls under pride and control. Hey, at least I’m aware! Lord give me strength!
As soon as I think I have a good healthy awareness of it, man I can fall right back into an unhealthy pattern of not asking for help.
I’ve recently really struggled with a decision I needed to make. I kept going back and forth about it. I was praying about it, but still had no rest. One day I would be on one side and the next I would be on the other. It was driving me crazy. I needed peace and I needed to just make a decision and move forward. I needed help.
My youngest, one day before school, was reading a daily devotion and this was the verse she read…
Psalm 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.
After she read that my husband looked at me and said, that just might be your answer. I took that to heart and spent some time that morning with the Lord in Psalm 28. Do you know what that entire chapter is about? Rejoicing in answered prayer.
What God showed me that day was I once again was clinging more to fear and control than trusting the Lord with which way I needed to go in that decision. I was reminded my strength is not from me. I am not my best protector. The Lord is my strength and my shield and as I TRUST He shepherds and guides me in ALL my ways, He helps me. And once I surrender all of that fear and control, the worry and fretting is gone. What overwhelmed my heart in that moment was joy, peace, awareness of how I wasn’t trusting the Lord and as I laid that down my heart was FULL of praise.
I had asked the Lord to help me make the decision, but what I hadn’t done was to let go and actually TRUST Him with the outcome. Once I did that, he helped me. Or maybe the better way to put it is, I trusted Him to.
If you’re struggling with a decision today. Stop asking everybody else for an answer. Spend some time in prayer and ask God what His will is. As you trust Him and let go of your own fear and control, He will be there to help.
That’s the truth.
Trust the Lord with all you face today and have joy knowing He’ll guide you in the right direction.

~~~
David’s legacy as a giant-slayer was never just about his victory—it was about inspiring others to fight.
Earlier in his life, when he faced Goliath in 1 Samuel 17, no one in Israel had the courage to step forward. The entire army cowered in fear, including King Saul. David changed that narrative. Under his leadership, Israel was no longer afraid of giants.
Now, in 2 Samuel 21, we see the evidence of this shift. The men who follow David are no longer afraid to step up and fight the giants themselves. Sibbecai, Elhanan, and Jonathan all defeat formidable Philistine warriors, showing us that courage is contagious.
What kind of legacy are we leaving behind? Are we inspiring bold faith in those who come after us? The goal of every believer should be to raise up others who will stand boldly for Christ.
Points of Prayer
Lord, help me to inspire and encourage those around me.
Show me where I can invest in the spiritual growth of others.

The Weight of Leadership
Even leaders grow tired. The wise ones surround themselves with faithful warriors.
#daybydaylw
Interested in learning more about becoming a devoted follower of Christ? Go to follow.lifeword.org!
~~~
Let’s look deeper into the story we started yesterday from 2 Samuel 21:15. In ancient warfare, kings often fought on the battlefield with their soldiers. David had always been a warrior-king, leading Israel in battle from his youth. But in this passage, something significant happens—David grows weary in the fight.
No matter how strong we are, there comes a time when we need help. The Philistine warrior Ishbi-benob sees David’s fatigue as an opportunity to strike. It is a moment of vulnerability that could have cost Israel their king. But Abishai steps in and slays the giant before he can reach David.
This passage makes us aware of the weight of leadership. David was a great leader, but he was not invincible. Leaders grow weary. They need people who will stand in the gap, support them, and fight alongside them.
How often do we try to carry the weight alone? Do we allow others to help us, or do we pridefully press on until we collapse or burnout? God places people in our lives for a reason. We must learn to lean on them. As you walk with the Lord today, consider these 3 points of prayer, 2 people, and closing thought:
Points of Prayer
Lord, help me to recognize when I need to lean on others.

What race are you running?
You may say, well Lori I’m not running a race nor do I plan on entering myself into any type of race today, tomorrow or really any day in the future. I hear ya! Honestly me either, but I want to challenge that thought a bit. We may not be in a ‘literal running on pavement’ kind of race, but we ARE all running a race.
I was thinking back on the winter olympics and how there are so many different types of races and events, each designed to push athletes from around the world to the extreme! The goal is to be the BEST, the fastest, the most death defying even, in the process to reveal who will win the GOLD.
The training is clear. The athletes know how to prepare, what strategy they must follow and for sure they know what they’re trying to achieve. They know the race they are running and they know the PRIZE set before them.
Do WE know, in this often described ‘rat race of life’, what we’re running for and what’s at the end? I can tell you right now, knowing those two things can change your life and how you live it.
Let’s look deeper at the race we’re running, WHY we’re running it and what’s at the end!
Answer the following questions…
When you think of your days and how you spend your time, what’s your focus? What’s your motivation? Why do you do what you do? Do you have joy even in the midst of all the craziness of this world, or are you mostly full of stress and anxiety?
How do you love your family? Do you humbly serve them, spend quality time with them? Do you live each day on purpose, intentionally on mission throughout your day OR are you simply just getting by and not really sure why any of it matters? Are you pursuing more of YOU or more of GOD? What about your training? What are you filling your mind, heart and body with? Where do you find rest? How’s your discipline and focus? Do you face each day as a gift or as a grind?
All of these questions can help determine the race you’re running and what drives you.
In the arena of LIFE, we all fall into one of two categories.
Psalm 1:1-6
Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither — whatever they do prospers. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
There are two ways to live this life. One is lived for God, deeply rooted in truth and obedience, strong, bearing much fruit. That path leads to life. The other is lived for SELF, easily blown away by the wind, no roots, no firm foundation, concerned only for earthly gain and no concern for obedience to God. That path leads to death.
Two races. Two very different motivations which lead to two very different endings once you cross the finish line. It’s not something to deny, ignore or pretend doesn’t matter.
The apostle Paul knew very clearly what team he was on, what his race was and how to train and even how to train others for it. He saw clearly the prize before him.
2 Timothy 4:7-8
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
Paul knew what race he was in. He knew why it mattered. He lived for something other than himself. That’s the daily race worth running. His life was not his own, it was lived for Jesus, on mission and he never looked back until he crossed his finish line. When we run that race, our life isn’t without pain or sorrow, but it’s deeply rooted, bearing much fruit and leads to a crown of righteousness and eternal life.
That’s the truth.
Let’s run the race set before us. When your motivation and prize is Jesus, you’ll have purpose, peace and joy no matter where the course may take you.

The story that we see in 2 Samuel 21 takes place later in King David’s reign. The nation of Israel has faced numerous battles against the Philistines, and David, once the fearless giant-slayer of his youth, is now an aging king. He finds himself weary in battle. But David is not alone—his mighty men stand by him.
Verses 16-22 lists four Philistine warriors, all of whom were “descendants of the giants,” likely from Gath, the same city that once produced Goliath. These were not ordinary enemy soldiers; they were fearsome warriors intent on destroying Israel. However, David had built a culture of courage within his men. One by one, mighty warriors of Israel rise up to defeat the enemies, particularly the freakishly strong giants, proving that the strength of a kingdom is not in one man but in the brotherhood that fights together.
This passage reminds us of an essential truth—we were never meant to fight alone. Just as David had his mighty men, we too need community, accountability, and discipleship.
With that in mind let me give you 3 points of prayer, 2 people to pray for, and one summary thought.
3 Points of Prayer
Lord, help me to recognize my need for godly community.
Show me how to be an encourager and protector of those around me.
Keep me from the pride of self-sufficiency, and draw me into deeper fellowship with Your people.

Lifting The Curse
The empty tomb is proof that God accepted Jesus’ sacrifice as payment for our sins.

~~~
"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us."
Rizpah’s heartbreaking vigil over the bodies of her sons reminds us of the weight of covenant-breaking. Day and night, she fought off scavengers, mourning the gruesome consequences of sin. Her sorrow moved David to act, gathering the bones of Saul and his sons for a proper burial. And then, the curse was lifted—the famine ended, the rain fell, and the land was restored.
But this was just one curse, in one place, at one time. Humanity carries a greater burden—the curse of sin. Our rebellion against God has separated us from Him, leaving us spiritually dry, longing for renewal. Just as Israel’s curse was removed through burial, our ultimate curse was removed through Christ’s death and resurrection.
Jesus became the atonement for our sin, and His empty grave is the undeniable proof that God accepted His sacrifice. He alone bridges the gap between us and God. Because of Christ, the famine is over, the curse is removed, and all who trust in Him have access to the Father.
Is your life marked by spiritual famine? Come to the King who has mediated for you, who has made atonement, and who lifts the curse. Surrender to Him today.
Prayer Focus:
Thank Jesus for becoming your atonement.
Ask God to restore any dry or broken areas in your life.

Jesus, Our Atonement
Jesus stepped in as our mediator to become our atoning sacrifice and pay for our sins with His blood.
#daybydaylw

~~~
"God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith."
When famine struck Israel, David knew there was unfinished business—an offense that had not been atoned for. The Gibeonites still held resentment over Saul’s violation of a covenant made in the name of the Lord. This was more than a political issue; it was a spiritual crisis. Was God truly righteous, just, and faithful to His promises? David sought to make atonement—not just to restore the people of Israel but to uphold the name of the Lord.
The atonement price was steep: seven sons of Saul, executed to satisfy the demand for justice. The shedding of blood was the means by which forgiveness was granted, a theme that runs throughout Scripture. The burden of guilt was lifted, the famine was ended, and the integrity of God’s justice was upheld.
Does this sound familiar? It should. This event foreshadows the ultimate atonement—Jesus Christ. Like Israel, we are starving in a famine of righteousness. We are dead in sin, burdened by the guilt passed down from Adam. But Jesus, our perfect Mediator, stepped in. He became our atoning sacrifice, shedding His blood so that we could be forgiven. His death on the cross not only secures our redemption but also proves that God is perfectly righteous and just.
Prayer Focus:
Thank God for His justice and mercy through Jesus Christ.
Ask for a heart that seeks righteousness and honors God's faithfulness.

Jesus, Our Intercessor
When we don’t know what to do or pray, Jesus intercedes on our behalf.
#daybydaylw

~~~
"Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them."
When famine struck Israel for three years, David did what a good king should—he sought the face of the Lord. He didn’t rely on his own wisdom or power. He didn’t ignore the suffering of his people. Instead, he interceded on their behalf, pleading for God’s mercy.
To seek God’s face means to seek His presence, His favor, His peace. Israel was suffering because God’s blessing had been withdrawn. David knew that only by understanding the heart of God—His displeasure, His justice—could restoration come.
David’s intercession points us to the ultimate Mediator, Jesus Christ. Before going to the cross, Jesus prayed for His disciples and for all who would one day believe in Him. That includes us. Jesus stands in the presence of the Father, interceding for us even now. He prays for our sanctification, our unity, our endurance.
When we don’t know what to pray, the Holy Spirit intercedes on our behalf (Romans 8:26). When we are weak, Jesus strengthens us through His prayers. He is the perfect Mediator, the eternal King who cares deeply for His people.
Prayer Focus:
Thank Jesus for continually interceding for you.
Ask God to help you seek His face in all circumstances.

Lori Cline's Greatest Hits: Daddy To The Rescue
Whether you have a good relationship with your dad or not, God is a perfect Heavenly Father who loves you.
#lifeperspectivespodcast
Interested in learning more about becoming a devoted follower of Christ? Go to follow.lifeword.org!
~~~
Growing up, was your dad, or a father figure in your life, like a super hero to you?
Dads can be larger than life through the eyes of a child. If something needs to be fixed, something heavy needs to be picked up, a jar needs to be opened, a bug needs to be killed, a turtle in the middle of the road needs to be saved or a little girl simply needs someone to let her put bows in their hair… it’s DAD to the rescue!!
I’m no longer a little girl, but I will always be my Daddy’s little girl. That’s just the way it is and my Dad still LOVES to come to my rescue. To this day if I ever should need him, he would be there. I saw this on full display recently. A winter storm blew through our area. My husband was out of town. It was dark and freezing outside. I discovered our 82 pound Goldador, Roxy, was not in the back yard. Our little beagle mix just stood there looking confused. This was not a good thing.
We have an invisible fence around our yard which backs up to a wooded area. Both of our dogs have collars that will gently give them a good zap if they get too close to the boundary line. We also have some chicken wire fencing in the woods around the back as a backup, but it can be pushed through if a dog is determined enough.
Roxy was determined that night because she was chasing a possum. Long story short… Roxy chased that possum to my neighbors backyard and my amazing neighbor brought Roxy back to me safe and sound. I called my parents and my Dad, even though he’s over three hours away, wanted to rescue me from this problem! He googled and read up on the fence system, the collars and walked me through testing the collars, checking the batteries, checking the wiring… all the things. He wanted so bad to fix it for me. He wanted me to not have to walk our big dog on a leash in the cold. He wanted to come to my rescue.
I had to wait till the ice cleared and Roxy ended up needing a new collar unit, but thinking back to that night, my Dad came to my rescue. He loves me so much and wanted to help me as much as he could to get it figured out.
Maybe you have a broken relationship or no relationship with your earthly father and the last thing you would call him is a hero. Psalm 68:5 says, God is a father to the fatherless.
Do you believe that God loves you? Do you believe He wants to come to your rescue?
No matter the brokeness you may have come from, no matter where you are now, how cold and dark it may be as you stand alone in your circumstance, Daddy God wants to come to your rescue.
Zephaniah 3:17
The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.
Your father God delights in you, He rejoices over you with singing. Let that sink in. You are held and SO loved by God. He is a loving father waiting for you to call on Him and pour your broken and anxious heart out to Him. He is near.
He is loving - John 3:1
He is kind - Ephesians 2:7-8
He is compassionate, abounding in love - Psalm 103:8
He offers you His greatest gift of love, His son Jesus - John 3:16
He is faithful with new mercies every morning - Lamentations 3:22-23
He is merciful, strong, forgiving, righteous, caring and sovereign.
He is our good shepherd - Psalm 23
He is my strength and my shield, and He helps me as I put my trust in Him - Psalm 28:7
And He IS making all things new… Revelation 21:5
That’s the father God wants to be for you. He is good and He loves you.
That’s the truth.
Look to your Daddy God for rescue. He IS mighty to save.

Making Things Right
Unresolved wrongs don’t disappear, because all sin has consequences.
#daybydaylw

~~~
"Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year. And David sought the face of the Lord."
Israel faced a crisis—a three-year famine. People suffered, and there was no end in sight. But the famine wasn’t just a natural disaster; it was the result of an unresolved sin from Saul’s reign. The Israelites had broken a covenant with the Gibeonites, shedding innocent blood. Now, the weight of that injustice hung over the nation.
David, recognizing that this was more than bad luck, sought the Lord. When he learned of the cause, he took action to make things right. The Gibeonites didn’t ask for money or land. They asked for justice. And though it was difficult, David honored their request, ensuring that Israel upheld its promise. Only then did the famine lift.
This passage reminds us that sin has consequences. Unresolved wrongs don’t just disappear—they linger until they are dealt with. Are there areas in your life where God is calling you to make things right? Are there past hurts, broken relationships, or sins left unaddressed? Seeking God’s face means being willing to bring those things before Him and taking the necessary steps to reconcile.
Prayer Focus:
Ask God to reveal any unresolved areas in your life.
Pray for courage to take steps toward reconciliation.

~~~
"The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge."
When reading the final chapters of 2 Samuel, the stories may seem scattered, but they follow a carefully designed pattern. At the very center of this structure are two songs of David—songs that declare one unshakable truth: God is our rock and refuge.
David’s reign was filled with triumphs and failures, victories and judgments. Yet, through it all, he knew where his true strength came from. The same is true for us. We may go through seasons of hardship, times of battle, moments of uncertainty, but at the core of it all is this truth—God is faithful.
A good king, like David, seeks justice and righteousness for the good of his people and the glory of God. In the same way, we are called to trust and rest in the One who rules with perfect wisdom and love.
Are you standing on the rock, or are you trying to navigate life on your own? Let the songs of David remind you today—God is your refuge, your fortress, and He is always faithful.
Prayer Focus:
Thank God for being your rock and refuge.
Ask for strength to trust Him in uncertain times.
