The Devil Hates Your Rest

The feeling of needing rest is usually a starving spiritual need. Rest isn't a luxury, it's a requirement. The devil thrives in our busyness. When we rest well, we become more like Jesus.

Always, Always Doing Us Good

You are not defined by your mistakes. God works all things together for good, our problems, hardships, addictions, and grief. He doesn't need goodness to do us good. He makes beauty from ashes.

A Clean Heart

We all need reconnection with God and people. Without it, we numb the pain with something else. David's prayer for a clean heart shows us the way through. Ask God for help with what triggers you.

Straying Sheep

He bore our sins in His body on the tree, and by His wounds we are healed. Sheep don't run away all at once, they wander a little at a time. You're not too far gone for the Shepherd to find you.

Setback, Not Defeat

How fast do you bounce back after a loss? Low faith opens the door to fear, and fear invites shame. But a setback is not a defeat. Blessed is the one who remains steadfast under trial.

Take Every Thought Captive

Loss makes the dark thoughts show up fast. We have to take every thought captive and gauge it against God's Word. Paul told us what to think about. Ask God to help. He will.

Nothing Compares

Much of what we're grateful for are things of this world. But in light of what we have in Christ, nothing compares. Nothing this world offers comes close to a personal relationship with Jesus.

The Sixty-Fifth Time

Sixty-five rounds of Keytruda. Plenty of days I asked God to take it away. So did Paul. God said no, then said something better: my grace is sufficient, my power is perfect in weakness.

I think with the current environment we are all wonderin...
