The Approval of Others
The world tells us how to live our lives—how to eat, love, sleep, grieve, and celebrate. The problem is, the world’s philosophies, values, and viewpoints don’t always mesh with God’s. . .
Be Still
Our heavenly Father instructs us to be still. When we calm ourselves physically and mentally, we allow ourselves to feel the peace that comes with the presence of the Holy Spirit within us. . .
God Chose You
Have you ever been asked to fill a position for which you felt unqualified? Maybe you aren’t as experienced as the last person who had the job, but God chose you. . .
Fuel Your Fire
The Holy Spirit is often referred to as a fire. Each believer’s heart carries that flaming light of God. And in 1 Thessalonians, Paul admonishes believers not to quench the fire. . .
He Commands You Not to Fear
Fear can seep into our lives so easily. But in Isaiah 41:10, God tells us not to fear. This isn’t just an idle, “don’t worry, you’ll be ok” kind of statement. In fact, He commands you not to fear. . .
Good Morning
Mornings can excite or depress us. Do you say “Good morning, Lord!” or “Good Lord, it’s morning!”? No matter what our day holds, we can face it confidently by practicing Psalm 143:8. . .
The Right Tools
As Christians, we sometimes feel that we lack the right tools to do God’s work. But the Bible promises us that He has already given us everything we need. . .
God Is in Control
It’s easy for us to believe that we carry the world on our shoulders. We tend to believe that we alone make the world turn. But in truth, God is the One who controls all. . .
No More Tears
This world is sadly full of sorrow and disappointment. But God doesn’t allow our pain to be purposeless. It drives us to a closer, more dependent relationship with Him. . .
Walk in Wisdom
People tend to think of themselves as intelligent beings—full of insight and understanding. They like to think they can make it on their own. But this kind of thinking is anything but wise. . .
