Thur // Warrior :: Courage
Title: Big God Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. – Ephesians 6:10 I think this is the right word to focus on for today. The world is frightened, not knowing what the immediate future holds. The stability of our ordinary life is gone, and that can be very scary. But courage is leadership.

Wed // Grit :: Character
Title: Bad Company Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” – 1 Corinthians 15:33 Corruption feels like something is rotting.

Tue // Fuel :: Word
Title: Worldly Opinions 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 The world is full of opinions, everyone has one, and sometimes they are over-explained to get the point across. I am as guilty as anyone. One thing I am sure about is God’s word. It is written to show us the past, present, and future. So when we see what is going […]

Honor one another above yourselves. – Romans 12:10 As a male of Latin descent, I was brought up in a culture where the men were served by the women.

Title: Strong Enough The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. – Psalm 28:8 A few summers back, I broke my ankle while camping with the family.

Title: Shield of faith For the battle is not yours, but God’s – 2 Chronicles 20:15c In ancient times, soldiers had massive shields that they carried into battle for their protection, and they could even band together and interlock them for even greater protection. The “shield of faith” is the most critical defense weapon that […]
Wed // Grit :: Perseverance
Title: Sturdy Perseverance Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us… – Hebrews 12:1c Sometimes we don’t understand our trials or struggles in the moment, and sometimes we feel like failures.
