1 Chronicles 16:8 (erv) Read As we ease into the month of November, I want to start preparing my heart for Thanksgiving, and getting ready to treat it differently this year. The holidays have a way of flying by, and our culture has moved to a place where we go from Halloween to Christmas, often times, skipping over Thanksgiving completely, except for the few short hours…
Luke 12:6-7 (easy) Read Here’s another post about value and worth, specially yours and mine. I’m repeating the same topic a lot recently because it’s one that I need reminded of pretty constantly. Human beings love creations. Furniture, art, photos – anything that allows us to express our personality or our interests, things that show our unique style or perspective. We get that love of creating…
1 Chronicles 16:34 (easy) Read God is good. Sometimes, however, it’s hard to believe, or remember, that. When circumstances get tough, I know I tend to question God’s goodness, almost unknowingly. But today’s devotional, taken from the reading plan “God So Good“, written by Life Church, reminds us just how good God really is. “Maybe you’ve heard this popular phrase at church or in Christian circles:…
John 3:30 (ceb) Read I used to wake up and dive into work without even thinking about it. My email and social media was open before my feet even hit the ground. It’s easy to do; we live in a constantly moving and changing world, and a lot can happen overnight. But I wasn’t prioritizing my day at all, and I was leaving my devotional/prayer time…
Proverbs 27:7 (tpt) Read Last week, I was talking with a friend about what I desired in my relationship with the Lord. My first response to that question was, “Uhm, nothing really. I think I’m good with my reading the Bible and spending time in prayer.” It wasn’t until later that I realized that’s not the type of hunger I want to have when it comes…
Jeremiah 2:35 (easy) Read I was hesitant to even post this verse, because fear of judgment is one of the things that kept me away from exploring religion for a really long time, but I felt called to share some thoughts about this one; because it’s important. This is the perfect example of what God wants from us; a relationship. He doesn’t ask us to be…
John 17:23 (icb) Read Value is a funny thing, isn’t it? It’s so subjective. I’ll spend everything in m savings to book a flight, because I find a lot of value in travel. But my husband is content to invest a little extra in his 401K because he sees value in saving for the future. Some people will buy every new iPhone without batting an eye…
Matthew 22:37 (easy) Read Are you as consistent in your prayer life as you are in your daily exercise? What about in your commitment to eating healthy? Do you check in with God as often as you check in with Facebook? I know I don’t. My husband and I were chatting this morning about why prayer and time spent with God often gets put on the…
James 1:2 (icb) Read Why is it that our dedication waivers in areas of life that we know are important? For some us, we make a plan to eat healthy but don’t stick to it. Some of us buy a gym membership and stop going after a week. For me, I am so inconsistent with my devotional and prayer time. I’m rushing through life a million…
Proverbs 3:26 (erv) Read “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” I’ve always liked that quote, which turns out it’s actually a law of physics (insert funny remark about girl who hates science). During some personal development and devotional time this weekend, God showed me something interesting about emotions and feelings. It’s okay to experience the lows, and the low-lows… because every action…
