Mon // Surrender :: Confess
Title: Pride Hinders Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. – James 5:16 My pride gets in the way too much. I’d rather have people think I am “doing good” than know my faults […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Acknowledge
Title: God above all things Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. – Matthew 10:32 To Acknowledge God means I know you are faithful. I recognize your authority. You are the creator of all things, the heavens, the earth, and things within. There’s not much more to say. As […]

Fri // Steel :: Strength
Title: Not a Failure The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. – Psalm 28:8 Asking for help is hard. Sometimes I avoid asking for help because I feel it is admitting failure. I think to myself; I got this or I need to push through, and […]

Tue // Fuel :: Spirit
Title: Battles Every Day So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. – Gal.5:16 Every day we battle our flesh. A battle that rages daily without ceasing will wear you down. Often, we correlate this battle with sexual sin, and rightly so. Sexual immorality steals like no other sin can. However, we can “flesh out” in many ways. Excessive eating and drinking, idleness, anger, […]
Mon // Surrender :: Idols
Title: What’s your idol? Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them. – Jonah 2:8 Every man should take a few minutes to read through the entire chapter from Isaiah 44. Here’s a sample, “All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Who shapes a god […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Exalt
Title: Valuable lesson For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. – Matthew 23:12 This verse reminds me of a little league all-star game I saw back in the ’80s. A good friend of mine was having a pretty good at-bat against a tough pitcher. The count was in […]
Sat // Encouragement :: Savior
Title: Our Savior The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.– John 1:14 Today is a beautiful day as we spend time with family and friends, oh and don’t forget about […]
