Roots That Grow

“Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.” Ephesians 3:17

Will You Make the Exchange?

When we have worry, doubt, and fear clutched tightly in our hands and our hearts are ruled by anxiety, God wants to say something to us of this effect, “Let go of your burdens and give them to me. I will put in your hands that are now empty and open...Joy, Peace, and Freedom.”

The Living Word Inside Me Makes the Difference

One day it dawned on me: it doesn’t depend on my frantic self-efforts to live the Christian life. The Bible is not a self-help book, but a revelation of the Living Word: Jesus Christ.

Be Recharged

As Christians, we need to stay connected to our power source. Father, I thank you for the power and the strength that you provide us. I pray that we will not take lightly what you have made available to us.

We’re Adopted

Influences, people, events, even abuse from the past leave scars. But God stands ready to provide all that is necessary to transform us into “new creatures.”

Fear of Rejection

Dear one, God IS real - and He will never ever reject you.

Replenish, Without the Guilt

Jeremiah 31:25 "For I satisfy the weary ones and refresh everyone who languishes." Carve out a time today when you can find replenishment. Don't allow the guilty thoughts about the “Have To’s” overshadow the “Need To’s” of today.

Growing Pains

Know that in the midst of heartache and pain, God is molding and growing you. Be confident in the promise from God that He is perfecting you as you allow Him to do the work He desires to do in you.

Never Regretted

Friend, God can, and will, use your past. Even the brokenness of an abusive childhood. Ask Him to use you in someone's life today.

The Walk of Faith

When we walk by faith, we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses. They walked the same walk before us. Many of them did not get to see the promises of God fulfilled on this side of Heaven.

He Makes Everything New

Heavenly Father, help me to expect new things this year, and daily renew my spirit by reading the Bible and praying. Thank you for giving me a new heart and helping me to gain new understanding so that I may glorify you in all that I do! Amen.

Time

How often does our preoccupation with living make us forget that we are always in the presence of God? We try and cram more and more into each of our...

Learning to be Content

Contentment in all situations is the goal. Learning how to be content is the challenge, and that only happens when we realize that “we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.” (Philippians 4:12)

Be an Example

What do others see in us? Do we show them how to answer grumpy people with kind words? How to bear loss and suffering with patience? How to be content when turmoil swirls all around us?

God’s Competence in Clay Pots

2 Corinthians 4:7. "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us." Your Father wants you to be completely whole in belonging and worth, in identity and legitimacy.

They Matter

Two simple words "they matter” and how much difference these words would make to so many people in a world where often there is little hope?

A Circle Effect

Proverbs 4:23 “Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.” There’s a cycle that happens in our lives as we choose to bring God into focus throughout our day. Here is one of my favorite examples of this beautiful circle effect.

Life in the Furnace

What 'furnaces experiences' have you had? How did you find strength within them? How does solitude prepare you for daily life?

Why Don’t You Ask

Relying on God takes practice. Seeking Him daily through prayer and asking for what we need for the day means we must trust Him to provide. As we learn to trust in His daily provision, the anxieties of our own efforts are lessened.

Suppressing the Holy Spirit

I realized I had been okaying sin to enter into my life instead of putting it all aside. “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption” Ephesians 4:30

Eagerly Watch

“In the morning, I lay requests before You and wait in expectation” Psalm 5:3 “Katherine, when was the last time you were that anxious to see how God was going to answer your prayer?”

All the Days of My Life

Today: Read Psalm 23 afresh. What is the Lord saying to you in the midst of your life? Trust him to lead you from this day forward — all the days of your life!

Delight Yourself in the Lord

Dear one, delight in the Lord. He will give you the desires of your heart.

Increase Your Trust in God

Sometimes we can feel parked in our faith and not moving forward in trusting God. “COME unto me all you who are weary and heavy burdened and I will give you rest…for your souls.”
