It is so easy to get into the habit of comparison with others. We go on Pinterest and suddenly we want to redecorate our homes because we have seen designs that are much better. We scroll through Instagram and suddenly we feel like we never go anywhere, our kids are the worst behaved children ever, … Continue reading Intention and Desire

Opportunity for Trust
Too often lately it seems like the sky is falling. You’ve been there, right? We each have seasons that seem more trying than others. Usually when a few dominoes fall, it appears as if all the dominoes are going to collapse. This is when the anxiety gets high. This is when the depression settles upon … Continue reading Opportunity for Trust
Goodness of God
Read Psalm 86. Today’s verse says: “Lord, you are so good to me, so kind in every way and ready to forgive” (v. 5a TPT). Today, we will focus on God being “so good to me” and you! When you hear the word “good" or the word “goodness,” what comes to mind? For many, the … Continue reading Goodness of God
From the Assembly to Facedown
Everyone continues to say 2020 is unprecedented in so many ways, and yet if we look through history, we find that there is nothing new— the same struggles we face today are the same struggles that were faced years, decades, generations before. If you know history, you are able to see the similarities. As well, … Continue reading From the Assembly to Facedown
Never Lack
In yesterday’s devotion, we spoke about the gifts of grace and glory that God is so generous to bless us with in life. Today, we look deeper at what it means to never lack.

I was asked to haul my trash a far-off distance because the truck couldn’t fit down our road. For years, … Continue reading Living a Limited Life

They were able to gather for six of the seven days and it would provide for the entire week. The key was for each household to “gather as much as … Continue reading Just Enough Needed
Sunglasses
I will admit I am forgetful. As a crutch, I use my Google calendar to remind me of everything both at work and at home. I make a grocery list to remember what food to buy, and then cannot even remember the list. I kept losing my prayer lists; my prayer list is now on … Continue reading Sunglasses
A Piece of Licorice
When I went to church today, I had a dry throat. I am sure you have been in that type of situation, where your throat is so dry and you were not able to go get a drink. I asked my sister if she had any hard candy, but she did not have anything. Then … Continue reading A Piece of Licorice
There’s Always A Napkin
Today I decided to venture out to the shops with my children. Whenever one embarks on the road, there is always the possibility that one will get hungry and feel the need to stop somewhere to grab a quick bite to eat. For me, I can stop almost anywhere and find something that will take … Continue reading There’s Always A Napkin
