This Thanksgiving, gratitude is not just about the blessings we can see.  It is about trusting the ones still unfolding.  God’s plan can confuse us in the moment, but looking back shows how He’s been guiding every step.  What if the delays, surprises, and even losses of this year were part of His way of shaping your future?  Today's devotion asks us to be thankful not only for what God has done, but for what He’s doing next.

Most of us come to God hoping He will fix something in our lives, from bills and health issues to strained relationships.  But what if Jesus is inviting us to something far deeper than a quick solution?  Today's devotion explores the difference between asking Jesus to improve your situation and asking Him to transform your heart.  If you are longing for more than temporary relief and want a faith that reshapes your purpose, your priorities, and the way you love others, this reflection is for you.

Growth is faith is not about knowing more.  It is about becoming more like Christ.  As we allow God to correct, teach, and shape us, our understanding of His Word deepens and our hearts align more closely to His will.  Today's devotion is about spiritual growth, and should be a reminder that God is still growing something beautiful with in you.

We all have hard conversations that require us to deal with sometimes delicate subjects.  How can I tell truth while still protecting one's heart and dignity?  When Jesus stooped to write in the dust, He held grace and truth together protecting a sinners' dignity while pointing her toward a new way.  Today's devotion invites us to practice that same Christ-shaped empathy in every hard conversation ...

No one likes to 'conform.'  However, that tends to be because we do not want to be a certain way.  However, if our hearts our transformed, what once sounded like conformation will start to feel like willful joy.  Today's devotion will help you see God's good, pleasing, and perfect will, and how there is joy found in it.

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 ... 

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 ...

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.

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.
