Daily Blessing

Jesus misses nothing. He sees every nuance, every hurt, and every scheme fashioned against you. He remembers every tear you’ve cried, every promise He’s made, and every time you trusted Him. He’s more intimately involved and invested in your story than you are. Never doubt it. So in this place, stand and sing like you believe it, “My God is for me, who can stand against me?” Bow and pray, “I humble myself before You, Almighty God, have Your way in me.” Then rise up and keep marching. By God’s grace, you’ve more power, reinforcements and assistance than you’d ever know what to do with. Set your face like flint and keep on keeping on. Redemption is coming to your story. Have a blessed day.

Daily Blessing

Just because you’re in the not-yet doesn’t mean you’re a have-not. They’re two different things. In Christ, you’re a NEW creation. God has blessed you with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm (Ephesians 1:3). He guards and guides, protects and provides (Psalm 23). He gives you His shield of victory. His right hand sustains you. He even stoops down to make you great (Psalm 18:35). You lack no good thing. And if you haven’t apprehended the desires of your heart yet, know this: As you walk intimately with Jesus and enjoy Him for who He is, He’ll not only shape your desires, He’ll fulfill them according to His wisdom and will (Psalm 37:4). Your not-yet season cannot define you because God has already established you. Though the world rages against Him, He has set His affections upon you. Trust Him. His plans for you are good.

Daily Blessing

May you refuse to drag the heavy baggage from your past another step. May you refuse to borrow tomorrow's trouble when it's not yours to carry.

Walk in a manner worthy of His name. May holy confidence and humble dependence mark your life in every way today!

Daily Blessing

May God reset your perspective today. You’re not called to do everything, be everything, or even see everything. You are called to keep your gaze fixed on God alone. Don’t look at all of your problems all at once; instead, look at ONE of His promises all of the time until you’ve made it your own. God’s Word is living and breathing, active and powerful. God’s Word holds life, wisdom and revelation for you. Search until you find them. It’s time to reset your perspective. God has peace for you here. He has joy for you here. He has provision for you in this place. Look to Him and you’ll find life again. May you spend the rest of your life getting to know the love of God and the promises of God. May you spend every moment seeking the face of God. He deserves your trust. He’s a good God. It’s impossible for Him to fail you.

There seems to be an upsurge of spiritual attack right now. If you’ve been hit with a barrage of defeating thoughts, if you’re battling an unusual increase of thoughts of not-enough-ness, don’t put up with it for another moment. Take a stand, raise your shield and say NO to that enemy of your soul! Refuse thoughts that weaken you and embrace the truth about what Jesus says about you. In Him, you’re beloved, saved, empowered and called. Rise up, dear one, and walk in the truth of who you are. May every single one of your thoughts reflect God’s Word, His ways, and His willingness to redeem your whole story. May you abound in joy today.

May God Himself recover and restore what the enemy has stolen. May He heal family rifts, renew tired relationships, and revive weary faith. May He heal your hurts and sturdy your steps.

Daily Blessing

May you refuse to compare and despair. Here’s what’s true: Nobody’s life is as perfect as you think it is. Everyone is battling in some way. Everyone has a broken heart. Everyone has losses, hurts, and disappointments. And here’s what’s also true: God knows what He’s doing with your story. He’s uniquely positioned you to fight and win your battles. He’s put people in your life who need what He’s taught you. Comparison will distract you from your calling. You have more important things to do, like engage your faith, pray for fresh vision, and stand firmly on His promises. Jealousy doesn’t look good on you and it doesn’t belong in you. Your life story is epic. May you walk it out with holy confidence and humble dependence. Live like the heir of God you are! Blessings on your day!

Daily Blessing

You have a calling on your life. When you decide to step out, fears rise up and questions arise. What if you fail? What if someone uses your past against you? What if you take a risk and you make a mistake? Hear this now: the enemy is a liar. That’s who he is; that’s how he is. If you are in Christ, you are a new creation. The old is gone. The new has come. Now, when you look back over your shoulder, you don’t have to look at your past the same way. Goodness and mercy now follow you. His grace pursues you. And, when you look ahead, Jesus is there too. Scripture says that He both precedes and follows you; He places His hand of blessing upon your head (Ps.139:5). What love! If you’re paralyzed with fear, determine that you’ll not be deterred by an empty threat when you’re an heir to the potent promises of God. Go forward in faith, believing that your future will be far more fruitful than your past. 

Daily Blessing

You just wait. Words we so often hear from someone predicting doom; someone with an undealt-with pain filter. But for the Christ follower, those three words should inspire hope. You. Just. Wait. God will come through for you! He will keep His word to you. There IS an end-date to your suffering. A time of restoration is on its way. You just wait. Jesus will defend, validate and vindicate you because you belong to Him. He will defeat your enemy, remove your obstacles, and deal with your critics. He will answer your prayers, heal your heart, and redeem every aspect of your story. You just wait. Why? Because He works for those who wait on Him. He blesses those who wait on Him. And He lifts up to new heights those who are willing to wait on Him. In every way, He’s worth the wait. So, you just wait.

Daily Blessing

Every Christ follower goes through a season of reduction; a time when God “reduces” us, prunes us back, thins our lives, and reminds us once again that we are not what we do, we’re someone He loves. Yet, so often, grief, disappointment, and disillusionment accompany us into this season. But they don’t stay with us. Eventually the sharp pruned edges stop hurting and they actually heal. Our hearts start to beat again. Our souls start to thrive again. And we remember once again that any gift from God’s hand pales in comparison to truly knowing His heart. If you’re feeling reduced and cut back, don’t panic; don’t wonder about your worth (you’re worth everything to Him). Remind your soul that God is with you here. He’s doing a deep work in you. And soon you’ll know wholeness and fruitfulness you never imagined possible. Rest in His care for now. He’s got you.

Daily Blessing

You may be walking through a storm, but you’re going to be okay. You may feel like you’re in over your head, but you will make it to the other side. You may feel like you have to be perfect to deserve God’s intervention but you’re wrong. He guards and guides you not because you’re perfect, but because He is. You may wonder if God sees the mess around you, and He does. He’s working out every nuance, every detail, for your good and for His glory. You may wonder about a lot of things, but never wonder about His love. He’s mighty to save, powerful in love, and forever on His throne. He is committed to you, invested in your life, and fully prepared to see your story all the way through to its beautiful completion. Rest assured today.

Daily Blessing

A little self-compassion goes a long way. Today, give yourself some grace. You’re a work in progress, and you get to be, without the condemnation. Believe the best about others, because they’re in process too. Refuse to listen to gossip, toxic accusations, and diminishing assessments. They’re bad for your soul. Fill up on what is lovely, true, praiseworthy, and joy-sustaining. We follow a smiling Savior. He’s happy, joyful, and full of compassion. He’s fierce in our defense, ruthless against evil, and powerful in every way. He has no equal, no rival, and no competition. He is God. And He loves you. Trust Him with your life. He’ll lead you from strength to strength, glory to glory, shining ever brighter until the full light of day. God bless you!
