Overwhelmed?
Life can feel overwhelming at times, can’t it? But God knows our emotions, our worries, our stresses, our uncertainties—and He gives us a way to get to higher ground.
Hope for the Next Generation
This is my 16th year as an elementary teacher, and it sometimes astounds me to think just how much our world has changed. Young people have so many more voices to sort through now as they grow and mature, and it can be easy to feel like it’s a losing battle. But there is hope for the next generation, and those yet to come—and you and I have the opportunity to be a part of God’s working.
A Season of Hope
The Christmas season is often a season of busyness and hurry, and in the midst of all our preparations it can be easy to lose sight of the hope of which the Christmas season is meant to remind us.
The Hope of Christmas
As Christians, we celebrate the birth of Christ, remembering that His coming set in motion the events that would lead to Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, which gave us the gift of salvation, forgiveness, and relationship with God. So why did so many at the time miss it? And what lesson does that hold for us today?
Hope and Quietly Wait
Waiting isn’t easy. But as I wait on the Lord’s guidance for a particular detail, I am learning again how to wait.
Long Patience
It can be easy to feel like our current season will never end, but God uses the simple process of planting and reaping to remind us that all the Christian’s seasons of “long patience”—and one in particular—will ultimately have a joyous end!
And His Name Shall Be Called
You are probably familiar with the names listed in Isaiah 9:6, but the Bible says that the name of the Lord is a strong tower, and this year I have been encouraged by how the names in Isaiah 9:6 can be a place of refuge throughout Christmas time and all the rest of the year, too!
Joy and Strength
“The Joy of the Lord is your strength” is one of the most quoted statements in Scripture. But it just scratches the surface of the truth being expressed in Nehemiah 8:10
A Lesson from the Grave Clothes
Grave clothes are symbols of death, instruments of burial, but the grave clothes used in Christ’s burial became something glorious and triumphant instead.
