Thursday // Warrior :: Battle
Title: Experience the piece For the battle is not yours, but God’s – 2 Chronicles 20:15c What a fantastic place to stand in! To know that I don’t have to fret or finagle a solution to my distress. I can stand and know that HE is God, HE works ALL things out for good, and HE has […]
Wed // Grit :: Perseverance
Title: Building Character Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us – Hebrews 12:1c What is your motivation in life?

Thu // Warrior :: Battle
Title: Just Grin and Bear it! For the battle is not yours, but God’s. Chronicles 20:15 We cannot merely grin and bear it, and “things will get better.” Our battle is not with our boss, getting that promotion, our finances, bills, or being a better father. The list goes on. Our BIGGEST battle is within ourselves. The battle is turning to Jesus. I believe our strength is […]

Tue // Fuel :: Prayer
Title: Real Talk Pray continually – 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Prayer is straightforward; it is a conversation with God.

The truth is, He knows what is REALLY going on. […]
