Today's Devotion
“The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.” Psalm 18:2 One of the hardest things to accept as I grow older is the fact that I no longer have the same strength to do things that I once had. Simple household tasks take longer than they used to. I need to sit down and rest more often. Each morning, I find myself asking the Lord to give me the strength I need for whatever the day…
Today’s Scriptures: Joshua 1:8 – “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and…
Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:13. We live in a world where government, the workplace, and even your favorite coffee shop is constantly pushing against spiritual truths. People are not afraid to display what their beliefs are and demand it, but somehow we feel like we need to be silent with our faith. With new bills being passed in senate and the courts legalizing things that use to be against the law, it creates a quandary of what…
The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God. Psalm 92:12-13, NIV. When I was a little girl growing up in Canada, I was part of an environmental club at my elementary school. For those who know me, this will come as no surprise. One year, our school launched an initiative to plant more trees. Each student was given a small evergreen and invited to replant it wherever they chose. Excited, I brought my little tree home and carefully…
“I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye” (Psalm 32:8, KJV). “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand” (Psalm 37:23–24). Finding Direction in a Lost World In a world filled with complexity, shifting values, and uncertain choices, we all long for direction—something steady to help us navigate life’s crossroads. Sailors depend on a compass to cross uncharted seas. Pilots…
“Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God” (Job 37:14). Does it feel like you are in a perpetual rush, never finding time to “stop and smell the roses”? Our society expects everything instantly. We have microwaves, instant coffee, fast food, and fast lanes. We become impatient when things don’t move quickly. Yet the faster we pace ourselves, the less time we seem to have. As has been humorously stated, “The hurrier I go, the behinder I get.” All of us have observed this phenomenon and, if we are honest, are probably just as guilty as the next person.…
