Thu // Warrior :: Defend
Title: Defend God and Faith “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor” Psalm 82:3 Defend God he needs us…. Wrong, the Creator of all things in the Bible asked us to help Him, defend Him as it is seen, but in reality, we are not needed, but the defense of God […]
Wed // Grit :: Resolve
Title: Don’t become lazy As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD. – Joshua 24:15 One of the things good leaders do is figure out a plan and follow through on that plan. Most would call this determination or resolve. When we lack confidence, we lack drive, and we become lazy. Resolve […]
Tue // Fuel :: Spirit
Title: No Exceptions So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. – Galatians 5:16 Every day we have a choice. We can either choose to walk through the day absent-minded of the reality that surrounds us, God is WITH US and cares about our days. OR we […]
Mon // Surrender :: Idols
Title: Divide the pie “Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them. – Jonah 2:8 We traditionally look at idols as an object, but what about “time”? Picture time like an entire pie, and it is ours to divide up. We cut a piece out for our family, we cut […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Exalt
Title: Real Men exalt God Exalt the Lord our God and worship at his footstool; he is holy. – Psalm 99:5 “Exalt” is not part of my conversational vocabulary. I looked at synonyms and got “elevate” and “glorify.” Not much help. How do we “exalt the Lord our God” in a way that feels natural and […]
Sat // Build :: Encouragement
Title: Called to influence Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” – Hebrews 3:13a “The last time we talked, I was yelling at him.” That’s what she told me at 2:35a while her brother was in the operating room. One of his stints had collapsed, and the doctors were working feverishly […]
Fri // Steel :: Example
Title: Pursuing Jesus Set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. – 1 Timothy 4:12b What example are you setting? It’s a simple question that has enormous implications for the way that you live. What are the words you use? How do you live your life? […]
Thu // Warrior :: Battle
Title: Simple process For the battle is not yours, but God’s – 2 Chronicles 20:15c Have you read the story when the army had Elisha trapped and surrounded. It’s in 2nd Kings: 6. In the story, Elisha was a wanted man and there was no escape. There are two things in the story that apply […]
Wed // Grit :: Perseverance
Title: Great Things Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us… – Hebrews 12:1c How many times have you failed at something, and you stopped at that failure? What if you stuck through that failure and kept fighting? We can often learn great things through failure. Failure happens; in fact, for many people, […]
Tue // Fuel :: Listen
Title: Straining to hear Him He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; – Psalm 46:10a We probably watch too much TV at our house. As the evening winds down, my daughter begins her nighttime routine and heads for the bathroom at the top of the stairs. Sometimes she leaves the bathroom fan […]
