Three Verses We Need to Remind us of God’s Protection
God is the secret place for our souls that the world cannot touch, eternally secure once we have been hidden in Christ (Colossians 3:3). The fears and trials of this world are big. But our God is bigger. No matter what we face, no matter how bad it gets, He’ll simply never let us go. …

Three Verses for When Life is Hard.
(And what they really mean.) 1. Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and hope.” For believers today, this promise is fulfilled through our current spiritual security in Christ (nothing can separate us from His love!)…

Be Real. Love Well.
“Let love be genuine” (Romans 12:9). What if we stopped hiding our flaws? What if we allowed ourselves be the somewhat awkward, imperfect, “that-did’t-come-out-quite-right” people that we are?

No One But Jesus.
Pause and Praise Week 4 “He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart” (Psalm 107:14). It is good for the soul to simply sit in the presence of our God. To praise Him. To lift our eyes to HIs goodness. To remember that He is God and…

Sheltering in His Greatness
Pause and Praise Week 3 “Behold these are but the outskirts of his ways, and how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of His power who can understand?” (Job 26:14). We don’t need a god who fits in a box, who conforms to our impression of how he should be. …

Sitting In the Vastness of God
Week 2 “Where were you when I established the earth? Tell me if you have understanding. Who fixed its dimensions? Certainly you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it?” (Job 38:4-5). Vast. Immense. Unfathomable. If our human minds struggle to comprehend the expansive nature of the universe, how much more the God who spoke…
