Thursday // Warrior :: Courage
Title: His Mighty Power Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power – Ephesians 6:10 Every man knows it pays to have the right tool for the right job. Sure, you can drive a stake in the ground with a rock, but wouldn’t you rather have a hammer? Trying to stand on […]
Wednesday // Grit :: Character
Title: Bad Company Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” – 1 Corinthians 15:33 Corruption feels like something is rotting. What once had a noble purpose has turned inward, driven by personal gain at others’ expense. And it doesn’t happen quickly. It can be a slow rot. You might even have some friends who […]
Tuesday // Fueled :: Word
Title: Make Time For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. – Hebrews 4:12 High octane jet fuel. We aren’t talking about the cheap stuff. The Word of God fuels […]

Title: Wholehearted. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters- Colossians 3:23 I often relate this passage to our jobs/work…which I think is fine…but it applies to so much more than that. The word “Whatever” covers all aspects of our lives. Do we approach […]
Friday //Steel :: Strength
Title: Ask Fast. The Lord is the Strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. – Psalms 28: 8 Most men have a hard time asking for help. We see it as a form of weakness, so we don’t ask unless we absolutely have to. However, the Word says, ”My […]
Thursday // Warrior:: Defend
Title: Give Fear the Finger. “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor” Psalm 82:3 I was never a fan of the NBA center Dikembe Mutombo, but I did appreciate that he never backed down. From anyone! The memory I will always have of him is a guy who refused to […]
Wednesday // Grit :: Resolve
Title: Defeated once and for all. As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD. – Joshua 24:15 A synonym for the word ‘resolve’ is ‘settle’. What we reflect on is a plan to settle or resolve the issue of sin and death. Sin started in the Garden of Eden, and from that […]
Tuesday // Fueled :: Spirit
Title: Help from the Spirit. So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. Galatians 5:16 Temptation is a daily battle. One in which we can not fight on our own. We need help. Our greatest strategy in fighting temptation is God’s Word in our hearts, guided […]
