Today’s Scripture: Moved by the Spirit, Simeon went into the temple courtyard. Mary and Joseph were bringing the child Jesus into the courtyard at the same time.

Affirmation of God: I am going where God has shown me.
Today’s Scripture: Psalm 143:8 ESV; Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. “I should go.” These words jumped off the page as I praised God for His steadfast love in the morning. If I have already experienced His love in a past and present sense, could I ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I arise and call out to the LORD.
Today’s Scripture: Jonah 1:6 ESV; So the captain came and said to him, “What do you mean, you sleeper? Arise, call out to your god!

Today’s Scripture: Matthew 10:39 ESV: Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Have we ever lost our life for Jesus’ sake? Forget lost for a second, have we ever even “inconvenienced” our life for Jesus? As we look at Jesus’ instructions here to this young group of disciples can we apply these ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I aim to please God.
Today’s Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:9 ESV; So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. I came to these verses today as I strained to see the unseen.
