Raising The Standard
What does it mean to truly reflect Christ in our daily lives? This week's devotion invites us to go beyond reacting to others and meet a higher standard of grace and compassion. You can be a light even over the littlest of things.
In His Hands
I have to admit that it is an ongoing challenge to deal with what is in my control versus what is in God's control. Growing up, most of us are taught that we are responsible for our own progress. "You have to put in the work," my dad would tell me. But when is putting in work overstepping the boundaries of God doing His work? I cannot say today's devotion has a clear answer, but hopefully, it will give a framework for us to figure it out ...
Family Vacation

Taking The Test
When we were in school, we always had tests to ensure we were learning the subject matter that we were instructed. Some of us would even test ourselves to make sure we would be ready. However, do we actively seek God to test us to ensure we are in line with His teachings? Today's devotion touches on David's prayer of just that, and it is one I hope you along with me will reflect on daily to ensure that we are indeed being true followers of Jesus Christ ...
A Cup Of Coffee
We have often heard the saying that God loves a 'cheerful giver.' If you were like me, you often heard it around the time the church is looking for donations or giving of tithes and offerings.

Today's devotion is about looking at how giving goes beyond passing the tithe plate at church ...

We pursue a heart of God that seeks to uplift and support others as Jesus did for us. I pray today's devotion gives you a heightened sense of love, grace and self-reflection as we view ourselves as well as others ...
Never-Ending
How great is God's love for us? It is one that is never questioned and I would dare say never forgotten. However, I would often say that it is taken for granted. We rely on it through the bad times, but when things are good, how reassured are we that it is His love that is with us each step of the way? Today's devotion is dedicated to ensuring we are assured of His never-ending love for us ...
Above The Law
What does one do when the heart of God conflict with the law of God? Today’s devotion deals with how we deal with the inner conflict we face when dealing with following the law of God when it does not feel right. This is not an endorsement of disobeying God. However, when handled with care, we can have both the heart of God while following the law of God …
Humbled Representative
When you go out into the world, you see a lot of different people that represent different things. Comments might include, "Oh, they are such a role model," and, "That's a politician for you."

We may see it as we are flawed and just not able to His will, but today, you will see that sometimes, He was just waiting for you to give what you have. Not what you feel is fair or reasonable.
