Thu // Warrior :: Courage
Title: His mighty Power Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power – Ephesians 6:10 Everyman 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 your own strength […]
Wed // Grit : Character
Title: Influence or Influenced Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” – 1 Corinthians 15:33 We don’t like to admit it, but the more time we spend with someone, the more we act like them. Sort of like spending a week in Canada and coming back with a new accent. Eh? God made us […]

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 Current events, what is going on in the world, people turn to FOX News, CNN, […]
Mon// Surrender:: Confess

Title: Rest is promised Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. – Matthew 11:28 A long week, unmet expectations, financial troubles, health issues…the things that make us weary and pile on the burdens of life.

Sat // Build :: Honor
Title: Nothing in return Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. – Romans 12:10 It seems the word honor is used when people do great things. I know I like being recognized and a pat on the back. But this is a different kind of honor. To honor others […]
Fri // Steel :: Strength
Title: Perceived Strength The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. – Psalm 28:8 How we perceive strength is relative. For example, have you ever watched those strong man competitions on ESPN? You know, the ones where guys are pulling semi-trucks or flipping logs in the air. […]
Thu // Warrior :: Battle
Title: Recognize the lie For the battle is not yours, but God’s, 2 Chronicles 20:15c Can you imagine what it would be like to fight without God? Maybe you can’t, or perhaps you have tried. If you have attempted to you, have probably found out that it’s challenging. It’s like trying to make a car […]
Wed // Grit :: Perseverance
Title: Call out Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us… Hebrews 12:1c Typically, I abstain from corporate motivational posters. The one exception: A majestic sunrise, underscored with, “PERSEVERANCE: Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising each time we fall.” Honestly, there are moments I am tempted to […]
Tue // Fuel :: Spirit
Title: Battle of choices So I say, walk by the Spirit and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. – Galatians 5:16 Do you ever feel like your flesh is challenging your Spirit, and your Spirit is challenging your flesh? Even as a redeemed Christian, there is an internal war for control. Whichever one […]
