Held Through the Night
Peace That Prayer Secures As the Day Ends There is a quiet honesty in the words, “It’s not all small stuff.” As the day closes, we carry more than minor concerns.

Living From the Storehouse of God
A Day in the Life One of the lessons I see repeatedly in the life of Jesus is how calmly He lived in the certainty of His Father’s provision. He never seemed anxious about what was needed next. When the crowds gathered and the disciples worried about food, Jesus simply lifted His eyes to heavenContinue reading “Living From the Storehouse of God”
In Him We Rest and Breathe
As the Day Ends “Our part is to believe God. His part is to be God and do what is ultimately and eternally best.” Those words settle over the heart like a gentle benediction. As this day comes to a close, Acts 17:24–28 calls us to remember who God is—and who we are not. Paul,Continue reading “In Him We Rest and Breathe”
Lifted Where It Hurts Most
As the Day Begins “The LORD raises those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous.” — Psalm 146:8 There is something tender in the way Psalm 146 speaks of God.

Blessings You Can Taste, Benefits You Can Trust
As the Day Begins “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!” Psalm 34:8 The invitation of Psalm 34:8 is strikingly personal.
