Matthew 6:31 “So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?” Scars and traumas we’ve suffered in the past can make trust and surrender difficult. And the thought of giving up control over our lives and circumstances is a scary thought. But that’s just what… Continue reading September 21st – Matthew 6:31

July 23rd – Proverbs 16:1
Proverbs 16:1 “The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.” We’ve all heard the expression, “Man plans and God laughs.” But although a funny way to describe the unpredictability of life, it’s hardly the truth. Because nowhere in the Bible does God tells us not… Continue reading July 23rd – Proverbs 16:1
July 15th – Proverbs 2:7
Proverbs 2:7 “He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity.” When it comes to walking in obedience to God, one of my favorite quotes comes from Dr. Charles Stanley. “Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him!” When we’ve been wronged, it’s natural for… Continue reading July 15th – Proverbs 2:7
May 24th – Romans 12:1
Romans 12:1 Paul loved Jesus deeply. And that love compelled the apostle to dedicate his life to serving God. So Paul became a living sacrifice. And he calls us to do the same. But what does that involve? Becoming a living sacrifice means surrendering our entire being, body, mind, and spirit to God. And it… Continue reading May 24th – Romans 12:1
May 19th – Hebrews 4:16
Hebrews 4:16 When it comes to prayer, God isn’t looking for mealymouthed, wish washy, timid followers. He’s looking for strong, bold, prayer warriors. Those who know that because we are loved and accepted by God, we can come before Him anytime, anywhere, asking for anything, without fear or hesitation. But boldly coming before the Lord… Continue reading May 19th – Hebrews 4:16
May 6th – Isaiah 43:19
Isaiah 43:19 I love the quote by Joyce Meyer which says, “I may not be where I want to be, but thank God I’m not where I used to be.” Everyone has a past. One containing some mistakes and a regret or two. But God doesn’t keep score. For when He looks at us, He… Continue reading May 6th – Isaiah 43:19
April 4th – Ephesians 4:1
Ephesians 4:1 When we receive Jesus as our Savior we receive a calling to walk away from our old, sinful lifestyles, and walk worthy of our new calling. And what is our new calling? To live life in a manner that is consistent with the high standards and values of the Christian faith. It means… Continue reading April 4th – Ephesians 4:1
December 26th – Psalm 46:10
Psalm 46:10 The phrase “be still”, comes from the Hebrew word, “raphah.” Translated it means to relax, cause yourself to let go, or to let yourself become weak. And although it seems counterintuitive, it’s only when we deliberately surrender all to God, our fears, worries, and hurt, can we really take control of any situation.… Continue reading December 26th – Psalm 46:10
September 5th – Proverbs 8:13
Proverbs 8:13 What if I told you that fear is a sin? How? Because at the root of fear is pride, and we know what God thinks about pride. Pride submits to no one, grasping at control, and thinking we ourselves know best. And it’s the same with fear. When we let fear dictate our… Continue reading September 5th – Proverbs 8:13
September 3rd – 1 Peter 5:7
1 Peter 5:7 I didn’t grow up in a safe and loving environment. As a result, trust and surrender were very foreign to me. And the idea of handing over control of my life was petrifying. But that's just what God commands us to do. He calls us to trust in Him, and His love.… Continue reading September 3rd – 1 Peter 5:7
