“Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me.” (Psalm 139:7-10) No matter where we go. High. Low. Good places. Bad choices. God is there. When we draw near Him, for worship, or comfort, or with requests, He is a

"But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows." (Luke 12:7) If God cares enough to know something so insignificant as the number of hairs on our heads, then He most definitely cares about every other single detail of our lives. He knows everything about us, even more than we know about ourselves, and more importantly, He cares about us even more than our close loved ones do. We truly have nothing to fear wh

“This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast,” (Hebrews 6:19). Work, tests, traffic, sickness, other people, or life in general may make you feel unsteady today, like you’re tossed in the waves and can’t find the shore. But take a deep breath and remember that your anchor is locked in Jesus, and He will not let you go.

“For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself,” (Hebrews 6:13). Saying God is the greatest seems too elementary. But let’s list ways this is true: He is the highest authority. He cannot lie. He has perfect patience. His character is unchanging. He never breaks a promise. His love is unconditional. What would you add? How have you seen His greatness in your life?

“…but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.” —John 15:15 So many things about our Savior seem too wonderful to be true, and none more than Him calling us His friends. Think back to your first day of school, work, or even some place like a conference where you knew no one. Being alone in a crowd can feel so isolating, even overwhelming. But facing a challenge with a trusted friend by your side can make all the differe

"The heavens and earth will shake, but the Lord will be a shelter for His people," (Joel 3:16). When we fully trust in someone, we are confident they will be there, ready and willing to help us when we are in trouble, in need, or scared. The mere thought of them gives us hope. God wants to be that for us. When all of heaven and earth seem shaky and unstable, He is our shelter and our hope,

"Am I a God near at hand," says the Lord, "and not a God afar off?" (Jeremiah 23:23) I'm so thankful we don't have to go to church to find God. No matter where we go, He's always near.

“Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies,” (Romans 8:33). What a powerful statement! Once we have accepted God’s gift of salvation, no one can bring a charge against us that would make our salvation null and void. Why? Certainly not because we deserve it. Not because we are perfect and sinless. But because on the cross, Jesus took our sins upon Himself and stamped “Not Guilty” on our eternal record. Innocent in the eyes of God. There is truly n

“…giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light,” (Colossians 1:12). Without our Heavenly Father, would we qualify for heaven? On our own, would we be able to earn or buy our way in? We all know the answer is no. Without Him, we would have no hope of a peaceful eternity. But the moment we accept Jesus as our Savior, we immediately become God’s child, fully and completely qualified to enter heaven. The best inh

“And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance,” (Hebrews 9:15). Before we accept Christ, there’s a huge ravine separating us from God. At the moment of our salvation, Jesus bridges that gap, giving us direct access to our Father. Sin can clutter our bridge, but confession keeps our pathway clear. 💗

“Even to your old age, I am He, and even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you,” (Isaiah 46:4). I hope as you read this verse, you feel the way I do, as if God is cradling you in His arms, carrying you no matter what you’re going through. What tender, faithful, steady care He offers us throughout every stage of our lives. From the moment we are conceived, hidden away in our mother’s womb, until we open our eyes

"I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm," (Jonah 4:2). God not only loves us, His love is abundant. Isn't that a beautiful thought? He is overflowing with unfailing love. For us! Lovingkindness can also be translated as "steadfast, loyal love." It would be enough to say God loyally shares His steadfast love, but when you add the word "abundant?" That's powerful. What more can we ask for?
