Psalms 34:1 (NLT) “I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises.” When we’re going through a really difficult season in life, and it seems like the storm just keeps on raging, we might find it challenging to praise God the way we should. It’s especially difficult when we have…

Galatians 5:16 (NLT) “So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.” The other day, a coworker asked me what I’d be doing if I wasn’t in the career that I’m in now. Whenever someone asks me a question like this, my mind always…

Matthew 6:19-21 (NLT) “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will…

The other day, a little boy I know, Mason, came to me crying. When I asked him what was wrong, he shared that he felt left out, watching all his friends play during recess while he had to finish a class assignment. Watching tears stream down his face, his simple words cut deep into my…

Matthew 10:38 (NLT) “If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine.” In this verse, Jesus challenges us with a powerful statement that cuts right down to the meat of the matter. By its very nature, life is dynamic, ever-changing, and very tough sometimes. It can…

Do you know anyone who is working relentlessly to elevate themselves in life? Whether it’s striving for a new job, advancing their career, improving or gaining a relationship, or deepening their spiritual growth, they’ve likely found themselves stuck at a certain level for longer than they’d hoped. They’ve pushed their current situation to its limits…

Humility is a characteristic that God both loves and requires from us. It’s foundational to our relationship with Him. In fact, arrogance was the very first sin ever committed. From God’s Word, we learn that satan was once a beautiful and powerful archangel of light, but he became arrogant and wanted to be greater than…

I’ve noticed something interesting in conversations with people who haven’t accepted Jesus Christ. Many of them, like a friend I spoke to recently, claim that they don’t have faith in God because they “just don’t get it.” They say they’re confused by all the different things they’ve heard about Him, with some people saying He’s…

Take a moment to look at your life—the blessings you’ve received, your job, the car you drive, and the people around you. Are you satisfied with where you are? Whether we realize it or not, all of us have a tremendous amount to be grateful for. We should be incredibly thankful to our Heavenly Father…

We often hear a lot about the importance of sacrifice in relationships and what it means to die to ourselves for the person we love. But what about those times when God calls us to sacrifice what we want in order to receive something better? There are moments when He tells us to let go…

This past weekend, my good friend and coworker experienced an unimaginable loss—her husband was taken from her in a tragic event. The pain in her voice as she received the news was gut-wrenching. It shook all of us who were there with her. As I stood by her, I could only offer what little comfort…

We live in an “on the double” culture where everything has to happen right now. If the truth is told, for many of us waiting isn’t just inconvenient, some of us act as if it’s plain unacceptable. If the drive-thru line takes too long, we get so angry about waiting that you can almost see…

“It’s time for a breakthrough!” You say to yourself after countless nights of tears, confusion, and waking up each morning wondering, When will it finally be my turn? One day, you will reach a point where you’re determined that wondering and questioning will no longer keep you in despair. Instead, they will become a driving…

Once we make the decision to follow the Lord Jesus and give our lives to him, we are never the same. The Holy Spirit regenerates our human spirit and comes to live within us. Jesus Christ teaches us in John 16:13 that the Spirit will guide us into all truth. After we receive the salvation…

Our besties and good girlfriends want the best for us; that’s why we keep them close. So, sharing good news with them and others that we love comes naturally. When we’re excited about something—whether it’s a new job, a dream come true, or, in this case, a budding new relationship—we want to share that joy.…

They say, “If we don’t have trust, we have nothing.” How often have we heard this in the context of relationships? It resonates deeply because trust is indeed the foundation of any lasting bond, the glue that holds it together. We grasp this principle in our human connections, but we often overlook how crucial trust…

Revelation 10:9 (NLT) paints a spiritual yet unforgettable image, combining two things; something very common with something seemingly impossible: “So I went to the angel and told him to give me the small scroll. “Yes, take it and eat it,” he said. “It will be sweet as honey in your mouth, but it will turn…

Our modern times show us the extraordinary blessings that the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ have made available. Technological and other intellectual advances are nothing short of astounding. However, we must not forget that darkness has advanced as well. Dating can be an excursion of disappointment mixed with the kind of dysfunction and craziness…

In John 10:27 (NLT), Jesus says, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” This is such a powerful source of assurance for us as believers! It tells us that we can recognize the Lord’s voice, which is incredibly helpful when it comes to spotting the enemy’s tricks and schemes.…

In Romans 7:23 (NLT), the Apostle Paul said, “But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me.” Do you ever find yourself caught in this struggle that Paul is talking about, when you’re weighing the desires…

As we step into a season of elevation, it’s time for some serious pruning. This isn’t just about cutting away the dead weight; it’s about shedding our old, unhealthy patterns and making space for something greater. Ephesians 4:22-23 (NLT) reminds us to “throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which…

There’s an old saying that God answers our prayers in three ways: “Yes,” “No,” or “Wait.” While this sounds reasonable, it doesn’t fully align with the promises found in His Word. Psalm 84:11 (NLT) tells us, “For the Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will…

Jesus Christ reminds us in Matthew 5:4 (NLT), “God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” This verse speaks to a profound truth that often gets overlooked in our fast-paced world. Many of us have been so incredibly blessed in life that it’s hard to fathom what it’s like to deal with physical,…

The fear of failure can often feel like a heavy shackle, holding us back and turning our dreams into distant possibilities. We get paralyzed by doubt, standing still like a deer caught in headlights, too scared to make a move. But here’s the truth: waiting for everything to be perfect before we act can leave…
