Our daily devotion for people on the go to nurture their relationship with God
Provision isn’t just a paycheck — it’s alignment with God’s purpose. When we seek first His kingdom, He supplies not just enough to live, but enough to serve. Faithfulness in the waiting always bears fruit.
Reflections on specific verses and passages from the Scriptures
Sir, the man replied, leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down. ~Luke 13:8-9
Life’s path isn’t always pretty — but grace makes it purposeful. In the final part of Grace & Grit, discover how God weaves beauty through the broken, and how your scars can still sing of His faithfulness.
I find that true freedom doesn’t begin with the self — ourselves, if you will. It begins with surrender. The Word of God calls it obedience.
God didn’t eliminate the weakness — He filled it with His power. The strength of Christ didn’t bypass Paul’s limitation; it came through it. That’s the paradox of grace: it doesn’t wait for weakness to end. It meets us right there — in the ache, in the need, in the empty spaces we’d rather hide.
Nothing can compare with that great suffering on the cross which offered redemption and peace, comfort and joy for every living soul exactly because the opposite is the veritable form of human existence in this fallen world.
All who believe in God want to hear from him and have that intimate knowledge of hearing his small voice — no doubt a noble desire, even of practical value from our perspective.
The basic principles of faith, in this regard, revolve on generosity as the basic quality of our Father in heaven. “He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?” (Romans 8:32 ESV).
There comes a time in ministry or in the market place
when your journey of faith reaches its apex
and — surprise! — it isn’t all downhill
from that point on.
