The Daily Invitation

Every day we have an opportunity to discover more about God and respond to his invitation to live in love and experience freedom. The Daily Invitation outlines the many ways Scripture calls us to know and follow God. By reflecting on these promises, believers are called to receive God’s give of grace, seek him earnestly, and surrender their lives.

Living Intercession

Perhaps if we close off from the world and live in a bubble, we could hide from the evil of the world around us (although there’s no telling what iniquity might be lurking within us out of our sight). Yet John seems to show a picture of victory that is unique to the believer. Faith in Jesus brings authority over the schemes of the enemy.

Grace In Weakness

I’ve never seen more acceleration in my spiritual journey than when God leads me through hardships. I’ve never experienced more fruit and growth in my faith than when God puts me in situations of vulnerability, and the pressure pushes me to trust him more than ever before.

You Are In His Hands

There will be times in your life of great joy and fulfillment, and there will be times of deep need. There will be days when you feel like the Lord is closer than a breath, and there will be days when you can barely believe you will hear his voice again. Yet we trust in him because we put our hope in the God who holds all our times in his hands.

Make Room For The Holy Spirit

Can you believe that the path to abiding is just turning, following, and calling on the name of the Lord? I’m not trying to sound reductive in light of the glorious depths of what it means to know God. Yet I have so often found my inability to walk in the spirit just because I haven’t stopped long enough to call out to God in humility.

The fruit God desires to produce in us is so abundant that we can’t possibly keep track of it. When we live in the presence of God, saturated in his Word, true spiritual growth occurs. God’s kingdom and truth begin to swell up within us from the inside out. Instead of obsessively trying to check everything off our spiritual list, we discover freedom in Christ like never before.

You Are God’s Temple

Our spiritual reality is no less actual than our physical, mental, or emotional one. I Corinthians 3:16 reminds us that the Spirit of God is not some outer place we must go to and try to grasp. The Spirit dwells within us. Our bodies are not just infrequent hosts of God’s presence. We are temples—distinctively holy dwelling places for the divine.

Things Above

Looking upward in prayer is a powerful posture. We find ourselves looking away from the earthy and temporal into the heavenly and eternal. Looking up reminds us that our hope comes from God and not from our strength or wisdom. We are held in his hand, safe under his careful watch, and empowered by his comforting Spirit.
