Insights of Hope
Get The Balance Right
I loved a song in my youth titled ‘Get The Balance Right.’ As with most dance tunes, you never really understand the words until you get older. Then you fully understand its intent. We all struggle at finding the right balance. Whether as simple as tires on a car or a tough conversation with a loved one, finding the right balance is a challenge. Today’s devotion tackles that issue with the goal of hoping you too can strike the right balance …
Season Of Separation
I am a person who thrives in the summer. The warmth, the sunlit beach vacations, with family - these are the moments I cherish. Yet, January’s cold, dreary days feel like a stark contrast, especially as the festive cheer of the holidays fades into a quiet solitude, which can linger even when we’re not physically one. Today’s devotion offers a gentle reminder that even in our moments of solitude, we are never truly alone …
Practice, Practice, Practice
The adage "Practice makes perfect" has been a common refrain over time, but it has evolved into "Practice makes permanent," emphasizing consistency over perfection. This concept applies to all aspects of life, including our journey of faith. Mastery doesn't come without its share of missteps. Yet, by diligently practicing the correct principles, we aspire to achieve the desired outcomes. Today's devotional might not resonate with those who seek flawlessness or constancy, but for those eager for spiritual growth, it's precisely tailored.
Finding Peace
The pursuit of tranquility in the midst of life's tumult can be a formidable challenge. Attaining serenity is a complex task, even when external clamor subsides. Yet, some individuals manage to embrace calmness amidst turmoil. This state of peace is not readily accessible; it demands consistent practice and dedication to master. Today's devotion is to guide you toward discovering that elusive form of inner peace …
Love & Respect
In our youth, the prospect of parental discipline loomed large, yet it was the undercurrent of respect that truly shaped us. This respect fostered a unique acceptance for our parents' guidance, unlike any other. Coupled with the warmth of love, it begs the question: Are respect and love truly opposites, or do they intertwine? Today's devotion challenges us to explore the interplay between love, fear, and respect, and the answer might surprise you …
The Guessing Game
I loved playing the guessing game with my children when they were younger. They would get so excited trying to figure out what my wife or I were hinting toward. But as they grew up, they became less excited about guessing and always wanted to know. God has plans for us, but they are not always easy to figure out. However, there is a way to know, and that's what today's devotion is about: how to know what God wants.
Fallen, But Justified By Faith
All have fallen short of God’s glory and are guilty of our sins…But thank God that for all who have faith in Jesus, we are justified and forgiven!
Detour
As we get to springtime, we know construction season is upon us. Roads need repair and in some cases must be closed entirely. This requires some sort of detour. In those case, it may provide a mild inconvenience. Other times, it can be quite substantial. In life, there are also times when you are thrown off your route. How would you respond? What might be an inconvenience may in reality might be an opportunity. Today’s devotion is about one such story where a major detour changed history …
Lord, Just Say The Word
The one who spoke and created everything is still able to speak into your life and make it whole. Like the centurion…. You just need faith to ask Jesus to say the word!
Privileged
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
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.
