We Are All Believers
Listen: You will believe something today. When that temptation is offered, that relationship blows up, that meeting goes wrong, that diagnosis is grim, that pleasure is available, that problem shows up, that plan falls through, that sin is appealing, and that thing happens … you will believe something to be true.
Slow Down
The remedy for busy, frantic lives is not to speed up, but to slow down. The thing that will most help us with what we face each day is to simply spend time with Jesus getting recharged so we can be prepared for what lies ahead, and refocused so we can prioritize the things that matter most. You’re not too busy to spend time with Jesus. You’re too busy not to spend time with Jesus!
Are You Ambitious? Jesus Offers Riches.
There will always be more to discover and enjoy from the immeasurable riches of His grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus. Don’t live for this day; live for that day. Don’t be discouraged by this day; be encouraged by that day. Take hope in this every day: for those who are trusting in Jesus, the best is always yet to come.
Are You Threatened? Jesus Offers Security.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all...
Are You Known? Jesus Offers Love.
The One who matters the most, knows us most, and loves us most. Secure in His love for us, we are moved to love Him back and extend His love to others, knowing that when the all-seeing God of the universe looks upon us in Christ, though He sees everything about us, what He sees most is a beloved son or daughter.
I Only Know The Road Leads Home
He has come to join us in our suffering, indeed suffer in our place on the cross so that one day we can enter into a place where there is no suffering at all. He made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can someday witness the undoing and remaking of all that sin has tainted.
Are You Unsure? Jesus Offers Truth.
If we are meditating on and obsessing over, building our lives on and pinning our hopes to, any other truth than what He gives us, we have lost our way. We must repent of basing our lives on man’s truth, making up our own unbiblical truths, and neglecting the truth of the Scriptures.
Are You Vulnerable? Jesus Offers Care.
Today, you will hear the convincing lies of the enemy inviting you to go astray and you will hear the sweet voice of Jesus calling you to follow Him in faith. Who will you believe knows best, offers what is best and is after your best? The one who wants only to steal and kill and destroy? Or the One who loves you enough to lay down His life for you?
Are You Needy? Jesus Offers Provision.
God means for us not to worry about our future because we have the promise of His provision for us in Jesus. Take heart today, take your cares to Him in prayer, and take a look around for God at work. You need help. You will have the help you need. Because He is faithful, and He is for you.
Imperfect People Loving Imperfect People
For who better to love imperfect people than those who were at their own worst when Jesus loved them anyway? We will extend love to others when we remember how wonderfully it has been extended to us.
