Tue // Fuel :: Prayer
Title: Intercede for others Pray continually… – 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Have you ever felt that someone is praying for you, and you feel lifted up? I know I have.

Mon // Surrender :: Control
Title: Follow instructions Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; Prov 3:5 How many times have you done it? You buy something, and the most dreaded words to a man are on the packaging. “Some assembly required.” These words are enough to bring some of us to […]

Wed // Grit :: Character
Title: Are You Bad Company Do not be misled: “Bad Company corrupts good character.” – 1 Corinthians 15:33 My son and I have this ongoing battle about keeping his room clean and having a place for things.

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 […]

Title: Deep Comfort Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. – Mat 11:28 The promise in Matthew 11:28 is meant to provide deep comfort. God tells us that He will give us rest. Who is this promise for? It states quite clearly that it is for […]
