Today's Devotional

I pray that as the years go on and we grow old, we will cling to one of the most sacred relationships God put into existence - the relationship of a sibling.

Jesus' final words on the cross were, "It is finished." The work of redemption, reconciliation, and healing was complete. Because of His victory over death, we can experience victory today—including healing.

Relationships are messy; unfortunately, the older we get, the more complicated they can be–but the struggle is worth it, as two are better than one (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12).

The ultimate protection promised is not necessarily found in avoidance of all the elements, events, suffering, and sorrow we fear in our uncertain future. The protection that we all need, now and in the face of the unknowns of the future, is found in the Lord’s promise to provide… absolutely all that we need.

Spring and new growth come straight from the heart of God. It was His idea because He is the maker of all new things!

His light shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome it. This tells us that light always reigns over darkness.

After realizing that becoming a general manager at a fast-food restaurant wasn't God's plan for me, I trusted in His guidance, prayed for direction, and ended up staying in the area, where I found a job and housing that became a pivotal part of my future success.

Keep investing your time, attention, and resources in him as his holy word instructs. He will honor your obedience. He will strengthen and help you. Because he repeatedly promised he would and because he is always faithful.  

Here’s the essential thing: regardless of what we find ourselves in—tests, temptations, or trials—the grace of Christ surrounds us, as does the power of the Holy Spirit. And so, no matter what, we can approach Jesus in confidence.
