Psalm 18:35 | God’s Help
All of this comes back to the reverse kingdom we live in. Greatness belongs to those who become like children. To those who become dependent on God for protection and strength.
Ephesians 2:14 | Our Peace
Come to the one who is our peace. Come to Jesus.
2 CORINTHIANS 3:17 | FREEDOM
Can you see that the truth of God’s word is a singular path forward and that the enemy attempts to broaden and clutter the simple gospel?
PSALM 23:1 | REST
Rest follows trust. And sometimes faith is as simple as stopping, taking a breath, and acknowledging God.
PROVERBS 3:6 | ACKNOWLEDGE HIM
I find that God is equally present on the mountainside as he is at the summit or in the valley. The more we recognize God and acknowledge his presence, the better we can understand how he works in our lives.
MATTHEW 8:7 | WILLING TO HEAL
We may ask, position ourselves rightly, and seek out his power in our lives, but ultimately, we only hope to encounter God because he wants to encounter us first. Remember, 1 John 4:19 ESV says, “We love because he first loved us.”
EXODUS 33:14 | PRESENCE & REST
When we get stuck in situations we cannot overcome, small or big, it is easy to stress out and give into chaos. Most often, this amplifies the problems and masks the path forward. The more confusion and anxiety we live in, the more it feels like there is no possible way out.
PSALM 93:5 | HOLY FOREVER
Part of abiding in Christ is living in his glorious presence. It is having a foot in heaven's door and a hand reaching out to the world around us. We only get this when we desire to be close to him, witness his glory, and obediently respond to God’s commands to love.
Psalms 40:16 | The Lord Is Great!
I want to challenge you to start claiming this promise throughout your day. Just say, “The Lord is great!” In the good times and in the bad times, train yourself to live according to this promise.
James 1:25 | Living Free
My challenge today is to make sure that you put into practice what you read and experience. Has God put a calling on your heart? Live it out. Remember that a life of freedom overflows in the life of those who intently seek after God’s truth, receive it, and live it out.
Living Worthy
Because Jesus was worthy, he makes us worthy. We can step into the intimacy of God’s presence and stand before him confidently because we know that we have been called to a life of freedom. And that makes us worthy of being called children of God.
Psalm 31:14 | My God
I want to challenge you to pause tonight and consider your relationship with God. When was that last time you said, “You are my God,” and just rested in his presence?
What Does God Know?
I want to be close enough to God to feel the weight of every temptation to sin. I want to be close enough to God that I know his thoughts about me and that I am compelled into a life of righteousness through his grace. This lifestyle is only sustained when we live close to God
God is Active
As we learn to abide, seeking God in the secret place, we begin to see him more in all areas of our lives. Think about this for a moment. Obedience is mainly dependent on our ability to hear and perceive the will of God. This takes practice, intentionality, and humility.
