Living in the Land of God’s Yes
Standing on Solid Ground A Day in the Life This morning, I found myself returning to a passage that never fails to anchor my soul: “For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us” (2 Corinthians 1:20).

When Jesus Interrupts Your Direction
A Day in the Life “But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you.” Acts 26:16 When I sit with Paul’sContinue reading “When Jesus Interrupts Your Direction”
When Peace Walks Into the Prison Cell
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” Philippians 4:6 As I sit with this passage today, I am struck by how startlingly unqualified Paul’s words sound. “Be anxious for nothing.” Not for fewer things.

When Scripture Sets the Heart Ablaze
A Day in the Life “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?” Luke 24:32 I often find myself walking the Emmaus road without realizing it.

Power That Walks With You, Not Fear That Paralyzes You
A Day in the Life “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 When I read Paul’s words to Timothy, I cannot help but imagine a quiet morning in Timothy’s life—waking with responsibility pressing heavily on his chest.

Walking With Jesus Through the Seasons of Life
A Day in the Life “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1 When I read Ecclesiastes 3, I am reminded that life with God is never static.
