Thank You for My Troubles
So often in life, we look for ways to avoid troubles of any kind. But what would happen if we saw troubles as an opportunity for growth, rather than a roadblock?
Walk in Your Calling
Whether you’re called to be a firefighter or a teacher or a stay-at-home mom, you are important. Your life means something. God called you to fulfill that special role. . .
Rest and Believe
Through any trial or pain, the Lord sees all, and He loves his people in a deep, unfailing way. Although a thousand may fall, our fate and lives rest in Him and Him alone. . .
He Delights in Us
Did you know that God takes delight in us? He doesn’t rebuke us. He rejoices over us with singing. Next time you sing a worship song, think about what kind of song God would sing about you. . .
How to Fix a Bad Day

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. . .
