How did we lose compassion for each other?  Maybe it is lack of time.  Perhaps it is political leanings.  It could even be something we have become totally desensitized to.  No matter how it happened, today's devotion is a chance to pause and gain that part of your walk of faith back.  God's love can empower us to see, pause, and be truly present for those around us. The world needs it more now than ever ...

Why do I love God? Not just for what He gives—but for who He is.  Today's devotion reminds us our worth isn’t earned.  It is gifted.  When we anchor our “why” in His grace, our love deepens, our purpose clarifies, and our service flows.  You are His masterpiece—created to do good, not to prove good.

Is the world too loud right now?  Are you dealing with little worries that keep your mind overly occupied?  Is it even impacting your sleep?  Today's devotion is about finding rest.  Not just when things are chaotic and messy but when all seems normal.  Like many problems in life, the solution often lies before the problem even starts ...

If you ever had a child, you know how they can often question anything you ask of them.  At some point, you chime in with that age old response, "Because I said so!"  In our walk of faith, we often come to a point where we find ourselves very much like a child, but our questions are far more complex and have far greater impact in our life.  Today's devotion tells us from experience, we need to follow through on those things God requests of us whether we understand them or not ... 

Are you weary from the long, winding road of daily struggles? Discover how faith, endurance, and the wisdom of Scripture can help you persevere—even when the finish line seems out of sight. Today’s devotion reflects on lessons from Matthew, Ecclesiastes, and personal experience to encourage you to stay the course and trust in God’s strength. Let’s finish the race together!

We all know the feeling of working up an appetite.  I deliberately starved this weekend to ensure I would have room for a dinner at my favorite restaurant in Chicago. But no one wants to eat when they are full.  What if you don't know?  When it comes to God, many of us did not start out hungering for Him.  So, how do we create hunger for a world that sometimes doesn't know it is starving for the message of Christ?  Let us begin ...

When there are so many things coming at you, it is easy for you to not want to do things. Maybe the job has been mentally taxing or moving into a new place has you physically exhausted. Or perhaps some tragic event has impacted you such that you really do not want to interact with others.  What if any of those impact your relationship with God such that you do not even want to talk with Him?  Today's devotion might answer that question for you ...

Are you letting the busyness of life steal your time with God? Discover why “time” might be the greatest challenge in our walk with Him—and how the best answer is “All of the Above.” Join us as we explore what it means to truly “be still” and keep God close, no matter how hectic life gets.

Feeling called to make a difference, but unsure if your acts of service are “enough”? The story of the Good Samaritan reminds us that it’s not about how much we do, but about having a heart willing to serve when God prompts us. Even small acts of kindness can show Christ’s love to a lonely world. Let’s be the neighbor Jesus calls us to be—serving others with compassion, whenever and however we can.

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 ..

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.

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 ...

Vacations are supposed to be a break from life’s chaos, but what happens when the journey itself becomes a trial?  Today's devotion is about not only enduring our spiritual journey but also remembering where rest comes from.  From a water park to a leafy plant, God offers us rest and renewal.

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 ...

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.  However, recently I have come to appreciate that being a 'cheerful giver' is not limited to just money.  Today's devotion is about looking at how giving goes beyond passing the tithe plate at church ...

How do we react to action of others?  Do we move to judgment or grace?  Today's devotion is about embracing God's kindness to dismantle barriers and foster genuine connections.  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 ...

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 ...

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 …

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."  But do you ever wonder what others see?  What do they see when they see you and me?  Today's devotion is about learning to appreciate the honor of serving God and being a window for others to see His faithfulness.
