Divine Help | July 6th

  “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him.”

  2 Chronicles 16:9

  Beloved, are you looking to God for help today? Is there a need in your life? Are you hoping that the merciful hand of God will intervene in your circumstances? We are often plagued by doubts and wonder whether or when God will help us, but Scripture assures us to have confidence in our Lord.

  God desires to help us more than we are willing to trust in Him. He is actively looking to support those who rely completely on Him and follow Him faithfully. We should not doubt whether God will help us or is able to help us; rather, we should remind ourselves to commit everything to the Lord.

 The Lord is looking to show Himself strong on your behalf today. Will you look to Him? Will you rely on His will and commit yourself to the care of God while casting your burden upon the Lord? Faithful and mighty is our God. He is ever present to help in times of need.

In Christ Alone.

Evening Light | July 3rd

  “From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised!”

   Psalm 113:3

  The evening air was warm, drawing out the fireflies. Hundreds of these luminous creatures filled the yard, from the ground up into the trees, resembling Christmas lights in June. High above, the stars offered their own radiant display. It was awe-inspiring to witness the smallest light within reach and the distant brilliance of the stars, far beyond our grasp. The immense distance and scale serve as reminders that we serve a mighty Creator who is worthy of all our praise.

  Beloved, as we go through our day, we encounter the wisdom, goodness, and power of our Lord. These qualities testify to His compassion toward us, reminding us that God's goodness and mercy are renewed each morning. Therefore, we need not be anxious about anything, but instead bring everything to Him in prayer.

  Let us bring our burdens to the Lord, confident that if He has established creation in order, He will also meet our needs. Let us give thanks and praise the name of the Lord, for He is good.

In Christ Alone.

Childlike | July 2nd

 “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”

  Matthew 18:3

 Beloved, the scripture does not instruct us to be childish, but rather to be childlike. One of the most admirable qualities children possess is their sense of wonder. The blessing of being a parent or grandparent is witnessing loved ones encounter the world anew.

  Children have what seems like a continual wonder as they experience things for the first time. When they experience or see something that brings them joy, they will ask, “Again, again!” We are surrounded by the goodness of God and often take it for granted. The rising and setting of the sun are gifts. The heavenly host in the night sky often does not fill us with wonder as it should. Likewise, the reality of God’s mercy made new in our lives should fill our hearts with gratitude and cause us to say, “Again, again!”

 Let the power and glory of our life in Christ fill you with wonder today. Pray that the Holy Spirit enables you to see God’s goodness all around you and the beauty of His creation. Be childlike in awe of all that the Lord has done, and simply ask for more.

In Christ Alone.
