- Hardship
For My Good and His Glory
Why would God allow extended weakness and pressure? Paul learned it taught him to rely not on himself but on God. God is bigger than our failures and the enemy's efforts. It's for our good and His glory.
- Weakness
This Is Where I Live Now
There are two types of people, those who don't know they don't know, and those who know they don't know. I've learned to embrace confusion, own my weaknesses, and stay content there. When I am weak, then I am strong.
- Pride
As Strong As We Are Honest
Pride, lust, entitlement, the Big Three. We are only as strong as we are honest about them. We become strong by admitting weakness, then starting a consistent battle to eliminate it.
- Gifts
If You Want to Keep It
You have a gift to share, whether you know it or not. Sometimes it's a skill, sometimes it's just an ear to listen. If you want to keep it, you gotta share it. Look for one small way today.
- Perseverance
Fire for Silver
Endurance refines you like fire refines silver. Perseverance builds Christ-like character. God who began a good work in you will bring it to completion. Don't give up today.
- Loss
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.
- Greed
Two Masters
The pursuit of more can quietly crowd God out of our lives. If money can suffocate human relationships, how much more might it hamper our relationship with God? You cannot serve two masters.
- Fear
Keeping Him at Bay
68 rounds in, and the fear still shows up. Knowing my life is in God's hands doesn't erase the worry. But perfect love casts out fear, one more time, every time it creeps back in.
- Scripture
Read the Instructions
God has given us an instruction manual, the Bible. Build your life on His word and it will stand strong no matter what comes. This devotional keeps me accountable to staying in it too.
- Relationship
He Wants to Stay for Dinner
Following Jesus isn't a religion or a barter. He doesn't just hand you a ticket to heaven and move on, His plan is to come in and stay for dinner. So make room.
- Courage
Not a Suggestion
God gave us a spirit not of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. Courage isn't something you work up on your own, it's your inheritance. Fear was never part of the package.
- Courage
God Is With Me, Always
After a week of letting go and trusting God's plan, Joshua 1:9 sends us into the weekend with a simple thought: God is with me, always. Nothing can stop us.
- Burdens
Bear One Another's Burdens
Kathryn Ledford, a member of our Be Nice Grace Wins family, is fighting colorectal cancer for the third time. Bear one another's burdens. Give, pray, or send encouragement.
- Prayer
Soliciting vs. Understanding
We say Lord willing, but do we actually trust His answers? Prayer and trust go hand in hand. I'm trying to spend my prayer time understanding God rather than soliciting Him.
- Waiting
A Better Script
Waiting is boring and passive, and we want things now. But waiting on God builds trust and lets us see His will unfold. When I am ready, He unfolds a script beyond anything I could write myself.
- Purity
Clean the Inside
Purity isn't about looking clean on the outside, it's an internal state that produces right action. What areas of your life need cleaning up? I know where I can start.
- Repentance
Sorry Enough to Change
There's a big difference between saying sorry and actually being sorry. Repentance means turning away from the wrong, sorry enough to change. God's love means He will always forgive us.
- Forgiveness
Give Up the Right to Get Even
Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting, it means giving up the right to get even. Stop keeping score. Will you fail at this? Every day. But every day starts a new journey. Start with forgiving yourself.
- Grace
We Got It
Paul worked harder than any of them, but knew it wasn't him, it was grace. We don't work hard to get grace, we work hard because we got it. Let your work be worship.
- Confession
Retreat or Restore
After our greatest failures, we want to hide. But hiding means nobody helps clean up the mess. Real men own up, confess, and let God cleanse. Retreat or repent and restore, what will you choose?
- Suffering
Now My Eye Sees You
Job had it worse. Everything was stripped from him, and yet he came to truly know God. We don't need to understand why we suffer, our job is to remember daily that God is sovereign.
- Witness
The Only Bible They'll Read
If someone followed you around all day, would they find Jesus? Not church, not rules, not your favorite preacher, would your life lead them to Jesus? You might be the only Bible some people read.
- Renewal
Self-Corrected
Our lives are driven by our strongest thoughts. But through faith in Christ, we don't have to stay stuck in the negative. A little prayer, and we're back on track. Where is your mind today?
- Hope
The Hope That Is In You
What are you really into? What do you talk about? I want to be known for the hope that is in me. The hope that is Jesus. Who can you tell today?
