Monday // Surrender :: Idols
Title: Let go Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them. – Jonah 2:8 I’m a movie fanatic. One of my favorite movie series is the Indiana Jones trilogy (excluding the recent film). In the third installment, we watch as Indiana Jones and his father chase after the Holy Grail before […]
Sunday // Sacrifice :: Exalt
Title: Fear Exalt the Lord our God and worship at his footstool; he is holy. – Psalm 99:5 Fear. Not the type of emotion when facing something terrifying, but the fear that we feel toward an authoritative figure. It’s called reverence. When we exalt God, we are recognizing His position. He is our King and Lord. […]
Saturday // Sacrifice :: Kingdom
Title: The True Kingdom But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. – Matthew 6:33 When I think of the Kingdom of God, I think of a place where God reigns supreme, and Jesus Christ is King. God’s authority is recognized in the one […]
Friday // Steel :: Truth
Title: What is God wanting to free you from? Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. – John 8:32 You and I will undoubtedly navigate the seasons that upend us. They will shake loose pretense and any facade that has been constructed to “get us by.” Those moments offer the truth about who we are, what needs to […]
Thursday // Warrior :: Engage
Title: Anticipation, not Expectation For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. – Ephesians 6:12 In our lives, there are times of deep distress. As destruction piles up around us and […]
Wednesday // Grit :: Committed
Title: Iron sharpens Iron. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this… – Psalm 37:5 Committing one’s life to Jesus sounds simple. As we realize, it is no easy task, considering all the earthly distractions. A committed life to Jesus means altering how we live our daily lives. Men, we […]
Tuesday// Fuel::Listen
Title: Can you hear me? He says, “Be still, and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10a Be still and know I am God is one of my favorite verses. I was talking about this verse with my wife, and the conversation came down to a simple question. She asked if I let my mind […]
Monday // Surrender :: Pride
Title: The shield of pride Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. – Proverbs 16:18 In times of uncertainty or the unknown, fear can set in. When fear sets in, I think pride can become a shield to hide behind. This shield becomes the defense mechanism to avoid what is really in front […]
Sunday // Sacrifice :: Worship
Title: Intimacy with God Offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. – Romans 12:1b Would you rather be in the woods thinking of God, or in church thinking about the woods? A contrast between being physically present in church, mentally distracted, or being […]
Saturday // Build :: Authentic
Title: Walls Are One Thing Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up. – Ephesians 4:29 When I was 12, we remodeled our house. Before the contractor came, my dad and I moved a bunch of furniture and tore down a wall. My dad gave […]
