January 11 • Put on the Gospel
Shoes help us go farther and faster. If we are walking outside with no shoes, we open ourselves up to step on any kind of obstacles or even traps that are on the ground. The farther we travel, the more irritated our feet will become until we cannot go any longer. With shoes on however,…

January 10 • Take Up Your Shield of Faith
Historically, in battle, soldiers would overwhelm their opponent with a large amount of fiery arrows. The purpose of this massive attack was to shock and confuse their opponent. The purpose of the fire was to set their enemy’s shields on fire so they would put them down and open themselves up for attack. The enemy…

January 9 • Your Light Cannot Be Hidden
Though we’re positioned in this dark world to spread the light of Christ, we can be tempted to hide. But because of God’s ability, power, and love for us, we don’t need to do that. When God says, “Go, show Me off to the world that they may know Me and follow Me,” it is…

January 8 • Nothing Can Separate Us from the Love of God
Where the Gospel speaks of our victory and rising back up to the right fellowship with God, it also speaks to the enemies’ future destruction. He loses, and in a final attempt, he is now trying everything he can to get us off course. But guess what? It’s too late. The Gospel has secured our…

January 7• Love God with All Your Heart
God tells us to love Him with our whole hearts, because if there is an emptiness in our hearts, not filled with God, we will seek other means to fill it. It’s like going to the grocery store hungry and buying more than you need. If you had eaten before you got there, you would…

January 5 • When the Enemy Comes in Like a Flood
Our feelings will tell us we’re not strong enough, the enemies lies will tell us to give up, our thoughts may convince us it’s too much to overcome, but faith says, in all circumstances, God is greater! It doesn’t matter how it looks, how many times you’ve stumbled, or how many fiery darts have been…

January 4 • Fight Back with the Sword of the Spirit
The sword of the Spirit is the only offensive weapon we have, and it’s the only one that we need. Hebrews 4:12 says: “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts…

January 3 • Keep Standing and Don t Give Up
As Christians, our mission is not to be perfect. We will make some mistakes and incur some losses. Our mission is to not give up, get back up when we stumble, and to keep standing. Galatians 6:9 reminds us: “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap,…

January 2 • New Mercies Every Morning
The book of Lamentations is a lament or a book of sorrow and pain due to the consequences of sin by the Israelites, God’s chosen people. However, in the middle of all this despair, we find a verse of hope. Lamentations 3:22-23 reads: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come…
