Romans 8:18 Jesus warned that while on this earth, His followers would experience rocky times. (2 Tim. 3:12) And there’s not a single one of us who hasn’t been touched by suffering or faced trials. But the apostle Paul also tells us that nothing, absolutely nothing we go through on earth can compare to what… Continue reading November 10th – Romans 8:18

November 9th – 2 Timothy 4:7
2 Timothy 4:7 One of the greatest heroes in the Bible is Paul. He was tortured, shipwrecked, chased out of town, deserted by his friends, and jailed. And he endured it all with a heart of worship and praise for the Lord. I love how he describes his work for God as a great drink… Continue reading November 9th – 2 Timothy 4:7

Psalm 34:17-18 God wants us to come to Him with everything both good and bad. But sometimes the pain is so overwhelming, we can’t put it into words.

November 7th – Hebrews 10:37
Hebrews 10:37 With the state of the world today, I find myself crying out, “Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus!” Oh how I long to hear the sound of the trumpets!

November 6th – 2 Corinthians 4:18
2 Corinthians 4:18 No one likes to go through suffering. With their emotional and physical toll, trials can indeed be painful.

November 5th – Romans 5:3-5
Romans 5:3-5 For Christians, hope is not wishful thinking but a robust, enduring virtue born from persevering through life's trials.

November 4th – James 1:12
James 1:12 Society today puts great value in things. Always trying to, “keep up with the Joneses”, people strive for material wealth and riches. Christians too yearn for treasure. But ours is a perfect, eternal, imperishable inheritance. (1 Peter 1:4) A glorious one bestowed by God the Father to His children. All made possible through… Continue reading November 4th – James 1:12
November 2nd – Romans 15:13
Romans 15:13 I love the quote which says, “Hope, like a fleeting ember, may dim in the shadows of despair, but it can be rekindled with the spark of determination and faith." For followers of Jesus, hope is not a fleeting emotion. Instead it’s a profound, enduring quality that is rooted in faith and trust… Continue reading November 2nd – Romans 15:13
November 1st – Psalm 42:11
Psalm 42:11 The world seems upside down. Everyday it falls darker in a downward spiral of wickedness and chaos.

Because that hope in God is a source of enduring strength and a catalyst for praise, even in… Continue reading November 1st – Psalm 42:11
September 25th – 2 Peter 1:10
2 Peter 1:10 “Therefore, my brothers and sisters,[a] make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble” I remember watching an old game show with my grandma called “Chain Reaction.” Contestants had to fill in word chains to score points. All with the goal of… Continue reading September 25th – 2 Peter 1:10
