1 Timothy 1:16 Do you ever feel too sinful for God? Paul, formerly known as Saul persecutor of Christians, was as sinful as they come. Yet through the perfect patience of Jesus, he was transformed from an adversary of the faith into a leading apostle, using his life as a powerful example of divine grace.… Continue reading June 23rd – 1 Timothy 1:16

June 22nd – Proverbs 16:32
Proverbs 16:32 Controlling our impulses and the way we react, is a greater achievement than any outward display of power. Because patience reflects inner strength, allowing us to remain calm and composed in challenging situations. To respond with wisdom rather than aggression. Sure brute force can overpower, but it often leads to destruction and regret.… Continue reading June 22nd – Proverbs 16:32

Ephesians 4:30 Here in Ephesians, Paul warns us against grieving the Holy Spirit, with whom we are sealed for the day of redemption. Grieving the Holy Spirit happens when we engage in behaviors and attitudes that go against God's will. Actions like lying, harboring bitterness, unforgiveness, slander, and engaging in impurity. Such behaviors create discord… Continue reading May 20th – Ephesians 4:30

2 Peter 3:9 When we see the amount of injustice in the world and how it grows everyday, we can feel frustrated. We cry out, “Maranatha!

Song of Solomon 2:12 As winter fades to spring, it leaves behind a trail of dead branches and stems which need to be pruned away for the new growth to thrive. So it is with us.

April 15th – 1 John 1:7
1 John 1:7 I love the quote by Dodi Smith which says, “I suppose the best kind of spring morning is the best weather God has to offer.” There’s nothing better than a spring dawn overflowing with sunshine. So as the days grow longer and the light shines brighter, let us heed the call of… Continue reading April 15th – 1 John 1:7
March 27th – Matthew 26:14-16
Matthew 26:14-16 Oh how it must have broken the heart of Jesus to know that He would be betrayed by one He called His very own. Judas was part of the inner circle.

John 3:16 If we ever find ourselves doubting just how much God loves us, all we need do is look to the Cross. It is there, amidst the agony and suffering, we witness the ultimate act of divine love.

February 3rd – Zephaniah 3:17
Zephaniah 3:17 What I love most about this verse in Zephaniah is that it reveals a God not stoic, rigid, and unfeeling, but one who laughs, delights, and rejoices over us with boundless joy. Too many times we think of God in heaven looking down on us with scorn and anger. But instead when He… Continue reading February 3rd – Zephaniah 3:17
