There is nothing better than waking up to that robust smell of coffee brewing in the kitchen! The Lord knows without it, the day would be a long, slow struggle. Thankfully, we don’t have to just rely on caffeinated beverages to make it through the day. On the day I called, you answered me; my…
Wouldn’t it be easier if life was wrapped in frustration-free packaging?! No irritations, no worries, no situations where “invisible ceilings” block you from moving forward? Then, we could just enjoy life in peace and happiness! That is how it was intended, wasn’t it? In the Garden of Eden, life was perfect and truly was wrapped…
Our past’s baggage can weigh us down emotionally and spiritually, leaving us doubting that the Savior can truly see us as spotless. But take a look at the following from 1 John: And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame…
You know those “Wow!” moments that leave you speechless? After coming across a verse in Psalm today, I had that very thing happen. One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon…
As I always say, there’s no such thing as coincidences. On this morning’s drive, the radio station I was listening to gave a Bible verse that I haven’t really thought too much about before. Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor, but evil comes to him who searches for it. — Proverbs 11:27 He knew I needed…
Darkness can be all-consuming and is present at various stages in life, from seeing it swell in the distance to falling into its chasm. When these moments come, we should remember what the light is and does: it has dominion over darkness. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.…
Each night we read Bible stories to our children before bed and one last night, although a fairly common story, stuck with me. The story was where Jesus calls on Matthew to become a disciple for Jesus. Matthew’s response was without hesitation and he went. As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man…
We all have moments of brokenness, moments where we cannot seem to piece ourselves together when difficulty comes into our lives. There is hope through these times – that hope can be found in Christ. In Colossians, we see that “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.” That means…
Jesus is RISEN! We have a living, eternal God. Jesus defeated death through his resurrection and, in turn, has everlasting life – and we can too! As believers, we have been united through his death and resurrection. The bible tells us that God “will also raise us up by his power.” For if we have…
Listening through the self-titled album from Stars Go Dim, a song has me thinking about a Love that Won’t Let Go – what a concept! We have an eternal love through God the Father given to us through Jesus taking the cross for our sins and forever with us through the Spirit! Whoa! In the darkest times,…
Rend Collective’s album The Art of Celebration is all about pure, heart-felt worship. “Simplicity” is a song that completely dives into your soul and captivates the inner-workings of your heart. The ‘simplicity’ spoken of is stripping away everything that is meaningless in our lives, all of this ‘stuff’ we put in the way; all we…
As if Walker the Texas Ranger was doing his signature kick to my stomach, this topic of apathetic praise and devotion was revealed to me today.
