God’s protection is not only found in the moments where disaster is avoided.

We all have a level of awareness of who we are, but we often choose a layer that does not reveal our authentic self.  Perhaps our authentic selves need a bit of work.  Today's devotion invites you to let go of worldly definitions we may identify with and embrace the eternal truth of who you are in Christ.  Be reminded that your worth is found not in what you do, but in who you belong to first and foremost.

How often have you said, "I don't want that!"  As a follower of Christ, I could lose count how often I have looked to God to say those very words.  The thing is I do not ever regret what 'that' was looking back.  It is hard to look to God and admit our wants are not His.  The key is to practice our wants are not above His.  Today's devotion is a blueprint to why and how to practice just that …

We often see trials as problems we must address or challenges we must overcome.  But what if we saw them as opportunities to learn of God's grace?  What if we knew that in the end, we would gain far more out of it than what we put in?  My hope is today's devotion will give you that very perspective ...

The recent tragedy in TX has been heart wrenching for many of us to follow.  It would be logical for many of us to ask the question of where is God in moments like this.  However, that is probably the wrong question, and perhaps, the question should not be about God.  It is about how we should respond.  Today's devotion begins to focus on that very thing ..

Juneteenth marks the celebration of slavery ending in the United States. When observing this date, one might look at the obvious link between freedom from slavery and freedom from sin through Christ. While that is indeed true, the story of Christ and the slave community goes far deeper than that …

We were all given rights. Some of us may have been greater advantages in comparison to others. I know my youngest daughter had lots of things that my oldest one did not. There are times I wonder if she truly understands just how much she got. Today’s devotion resembles that spirt in that there is something we have that we take for granted …

Rage does not sound good. It feels out of control and almost like an out of body experience. No one wants to experience that. However, what if it was not like that at all? What if this rage was controlled? Furthermore, what if it was in response to something to help us survive? Today’s devotion is about one of those instances where rage in fact is a good thing.

When growing up, we all had experiences when we did something and one of our parents looked at us and simply said, “That’s not good enough.” We often walked away frustrated mumbling to ourselves about how unrealistic an expectation they had. Of course, we always did more, and eventually, they were satisfied. How often do we hear that in our head today? Not those situations where we only have time to do so much, but when we do something and deep down know it was not enough? Here’s a story about when we are not doing enough and what to do about it …

Have you ever thought you had a clear understanding of something years ago only to have an entirely different view when you looked at it again? I once had a friend tell me the phrase ‘dually noted’ was correct until an English major corrected me to say, ‘duly noted.’ As we get older, life gets more complex not because we do not understand things. It’s because we do that challenges the way we used to think. That’s what growing is, and today’s devotion is about just that … growing …

Are there situations that always have you frustrated and upset? As a parent, it happens to me frequently. However, there is a balance I have found that keeps me calm even under the most trying of circumstances. This does not mean that I never get upset. It does mean there is something that kicks in when my buttons are pushed to help center my emotions. Today is about building that ‘something’ to keep anger from ruining things …

When we were children, we were often inquisitive about things. Why is the sky blue? Where do babies come from? When can I drive? Those are some of the common things we might ask. My father was a different kind of Dad. He almost never gave me an answer. He would simply say, “You figure it out.” It was frustrating back then. But oh, what a difference maturity makes. There are lots of things that we end up having to figure out. Today’s devotion is about one of those times, and shows how Jesus too has those father-like instincts when teaching us …

We love having days where we can just sit back and relax. Nothing that we need to do or responsibilities to take care of. It seems like all is right in the world. Maybe too right. Have you ever had that feeling that maybe something is wrong in that moment? Not that there is cause worry, but sometimes being comfortable might be a sign that something needs to change. That’s what today’s devotion is about. When comfort may not be where we want to be …

Preparing for the new year should be an exciting ritual. We can reflect on our past year looking at both challenges we’ve faced and overcome and areas where we can look to be better. No matter where you are today, believe that tomorrow always is a brighter day even amid darker times. Today’s devotion I hope will give you some insights how that might happen …

Sometimes we focus too much on what is said and not enough on what it means. For example, when someone says, do not walk across the frozen pond, that does not mean you cannot walk across the bridge above it. You minimize your options when you focus on what you cannot do and can accomplish more by focusing on what you can do. Today’s devotion is an exercise on understanding how sometimes God’s words show a restriction that gives more freedom.
