Thu // Warrior :: Battle
Title: Don’t Worry For the battle is not yours, but God’s.– 2 Chronicles 20:15c It’s like a scene from a movie. A giant army is advancing, and the people of Judah don’t have the manpower or weapons to defend themselves. The king gathers the people to the temple to ask the Lord what to do. […]
Wed // Grit :: Committed
Title: Trust Him Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this… – Psalm 37:5 Today’s verse means to commit yourself to Him and truly trust in Him. It means finding peace, protection, and satisfaction in a surrendering posture on God. Do you have things today or this week that you […]
Tue // Fuel :: Listen
Title: In the Stillness He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” – Psalm 46:10a The times when we need to be reminded that God is God and still in control are usually the times it is unreasonable to […]
Mon // Surrender :: Pride
Title: Don’t take the quick payoff Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. – Proverbs 16:18 I listen to a lot of sports talk radio. Probably too much. A discussion that comes up regularly starts with a question like this, “If you were a star athlete, would you take less […]

Title: Wonder Offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. – Romans 12:1b There are many ways to worship our Lord; it is more than singing and clapping on Sundays. Worship can be in the form of wonder. Looking at creation, […]

Fri // Steel :: Truth
Title: The Choice to Be Free Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. – John 8:32 A friend of mine is going through a season of discovery. He is looking for what he describes as his “inner truth.” Unfortunately, no one has their own inner truth. […]
Thu // Warrior :: Engage
Title: Preemptive strike 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 My wife is a warrior at praying and has repeatedly proven to me that […]
Wed // Grit :: Committed
Title: Headed towards… Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this… – Psalm 37:5 Where are you trying to go? Are you trying to get away from something? Are you trying to get to something? Every man is on his way to something while coming from something. […]
Tue // Fuel :: Prayer
Title: Real Talk Pray continually – 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Prayer is straightforward; it is a conversation with God. I tend to overcomplicate things and craft this elaborate prayer of all the things I think God wants to hear, with a list of needs and wants attached to it. The truth is, He knows what is REALLY going on. […]
