Amid life’s many responsibilities, women often find themselves balancing countless roles—caring for family, managing homes, pursuing careers, serving in the church, and tending to the needs of others. With so much on our minds and hearts, it is easy for our days to become filled with routines, schedules, and obligations. Yet we are reminded: prayer is not optional—it is essential. Just as our bodies depend on daily nourishment to remain strong, our spirits require spiritual nourishment to stay alive and healthy. Before the demands of the day begin to speak loudly, there is wisdom in learning to first bow our…
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” (II Corinthians 5:10) “For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether…
“For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” Psalm 91:11 Over the last week, we have been examining the various ways the Lord protects and keeps us because we trust in Him. As we study the Word of God, we realize that…

“But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed, he went home and knelt as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open toward Jerusalem. He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God.” Daniel 6:10 NLT The king during this season of Daniel’s life was King Darius. To be sure that his government was being run properly, King Darius put three other officials in charge of the governors. Daniel becomes one of these men, along with two others. He was a hard worker and eventually was promoted. You probably…
Sometimes I forget what God has done in my life. A few weeks ago in a church service we sang, “When I think about the Lord, how he saved me… it makes me want to shout hallelujah, thank you, Jesus!” I began to weep at the keyboard as I thanked the Lord for completely changing my life around. Where would I be without the Lord? Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might,while he and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts and the sound of trumpets.As the ark of the Lord was entering the City of David, Michal daughter…
The greatest obstacle preventing the Israelites from escaping Egypt and entering the Promised Land wasn’t Pharaoh and his vast army. It wasn’t the daunting Red Sea or the fortified Canaanite cities. The greatest obstacle to the fulfillment of God’s promise was the grumbling of God’s people. Grumbling gives voice to our distrust of God’s sovereignty in our lives. God said, “How long shall this wicked congregation grumble against me? I have heard the grumblings of the people of Israel, which they grumble against me” (Numbers 14:27, ESV). Like a parent who has reached the end of their patience, God had…
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” John 16:33. Oftentimes during the Christmas season, I meditate on the reason Jesus came to earth, more often than focusing on how He came. I love the birth story of Jesus; it is a powerful prophecy that was fulfilled. However, I try to reflect on Jesus’ purpose for robing Himself in flesh to dwell among us (John 1:1, 2, 14). He came to save His people from their sins,…
