- Grace
On His Knees
Nobody stands as tall as a Christian on his knees. We are fully covered in God's grace, mercy, and love through the blood of Jesus, the best gift we will ever receive in our eternal life.
- Identity
He Knew His Name
Jesus didn't know Zacchaeus by his labels, cheat, sinner, tax collector. He knew his heart. He knows us the same way. You are uniquely made in His image, loved, and most importantly, forgiven.
- Comfort
Not One Broken
Getting our mind right leads to a right heart, then a right posture, and ultimately a right stance toward God. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted. He keeps all his bones, not one of them broken.
- Trust
Still Beside My Bed
My dad gave me a book on Psalm 23 years ago, it still sits on my nightstand. Even in dark valleys, we need not fear, because the goodness and faithfulness of God will follow us every day.
- Peace
Be Encouraged
Jesus doesn't say I encourage you, He says take heart. Encouragement is our own decision, a responsibility He places on us. We can be conquerors in any situation, because we live in Jesus and He in us.
- Peace
Who Gave You Permission?
If the situations around you steal your peace, it's not because they have greater authority in your life, but because you've given permission for that to happen. Our inner peace is our responsibility.
- Discipline
Sown and Grown
We can be our own worst enemy, undermining what we ultimately want for what we immediately want. Pleasure feels good short term, but happiness has to be sown and grown. What's undermining yours?
- Service
Poured Out
It's hard to be happy when you're selfish. When you poured yourself out, you ended up full. It's more blessed to give than to receive. Who can you serve may be the answer to what you need to be happy.
- Grace
Behind the Thorn
Paul's thorn wasn't removed, but came with a promise, grace that's sufficient, power made perfect in weakness. My own thorn, this cancer, is still here, but it's taught me a grace I never could have found without it.
- Suffering
That Thorn in Your Side
A thorn seems small but occupies all our thoughts, financial strain, sickness, conflict, unforgiveness, loneliness. Even if no one else sees it, Jesus understands the suffering it causes.
- Frustration
He Ain't Like Us
The last few weeks have been a barrage of gut shots. Even Paul experienced frustration with an unanswered thorn in the flesh. His thoughts are not our thoughts. He ain't like us, and that's okay.
- Forgiveness
Not a Victim
We've become a society of victims, nobody wants to be held responsible. But forgiveness saves us from becoming a victim. Let painful incidents go and walk away free from torment.
- Forgiveness
Drop It
Unforgiveness is like a poison or cancer inside you, slowly eating you alive. The only way to get rid of it is to simply forgive. Drop it, leave it, let it go. That's a picture of true freedom.
- Love
Not There Yet
Love that doesn't even notice an offense, is that even possible? I'm not there yet, but I think it's possible, because God's love already lives in every believer. We just have to choose to yield to it.
- Forgiveness
Water Off a Duck's Back
Forgiveness isn't just for the big, painful things, it's a lifestyle where small stuff rolls off us like water off a duck's back. Be kind, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God forgave you.
- Holy Spirit
Not by Might
I'm stubborn and bullheaded, and I forget to bring God into everything I do. With Him, all things are possible. Without Him, it's just hard work. Not by might, nor by power, but by His Spirit.
- Suffering
God Karma
Job was good and still suffered without ever knowing why, yet God was still good. Good things don't always happen to good people, but we're invited to be His hands and feet even without answers.
- Grace
I Never Knew You
Many will meet Jesus on judgment day only to hear, I never knew you. Good works can't earn Heaven. We are loved not because of what we do, but because of what Christ already did on the cross.
- Service
Why Do We Serve?
Why do you serve? Serving a cause has become pop culture, but doing good can have a dark side. It's possible to love our service more than our Savior. Above all else, guard your heart.
- Security
A Blueprint Especially Designed for You
There are no guarantees we'll get our hearts' desires, but Jesus Christ is a rock on which to stand secure. He has a perfect plan for each one of us, a blueprint especially designed for you.
- Waiting
Saturated
We're told to wait, and what we're waiting for will be revealed. To be baptized with the Holy Spirit is to be saturated. A person who is saturated knows they are wet. What prayer are you praying as you wait?
- Waiting
Just Relax and Fly
The hardest part isn't the destination, it's the Waiting Place before it. A flight instructor once told me to just relax and fly, the rest will happen. Wait for the Lord, be strong, take courage.
- Control
82 Jimmy
Three ridiculous days at the DMV taught me something about letting go of control. My truck turned out to be an '82, not an '81, and the tag I actually wanted was there the whole time. My times are in His hands.
- Childlike Faith
Go Be a Kid
Kids don't try to control anything, they're just in the moment. Pride is what gets in the way of that kind of trust. God still wants us anyway. So let's all go be a kid. He loves you.
Start with the need in front of you
Some mornings call for hope. Some call for forgiveness, prayer, trust, or the courage to take the next faithful step. The archive is built so each devotional can stand on its own while the topic pages help you keep reading in the same direction.
