February 24 • Hush the Rush
When we rush through life, we become easily distracted by what we need to get done. We can find ourselves numb to what’s going on in our lives by just going through the motions. Although we can ignore our souls’ need for stillness by distracting ourselves with busy work, we still need the rest and

February 23 • Spiritual Nourishment
Many of us understand that what you eat determines how you grow. In the same way, what we feed our spirit determines how we grow spiritually. If we feed our flesh, we can stunt our spiritual growth. If we feed our spirit, we can flourish. Romans 8 explains it like this: “For those who live

February 22 • Living a Surrendered Life
The Bible tells us that Jesus offers us life and life to the fullest, but we will never experience that full life if we don’t allow God to have complete control of our lives and hearts. The challenge here is that we have this battle between our sinful flesh and our new spirit that God

The challenges we have in any storm can cause us to think God is not with us, or He’s not strong enough to help us through. Storms remind us that we are not in control, which is very true, but we must not make the mistake of thinking God is like us. He is not

February 17 • Developing True Discernment
Now, more than ever, it seems like we have so many options before us: which school to go to, which job to take, which church to attend, and some decisions are even harder. Should we get married? Should I accept this job opportunity that requires my entire family to move? Should I elect to have

February 16 • Confidently Come to God
When we place our trust in Jesus, we receive His righteousness (Romans 3:22, 2 Corinthians 5:21), so when we come to God, He doesn’t see our unrighteousness; He sees the righteousness of His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus was a man and could relate to our challenges here in the world, and He was perfect and without sin.

February 15 • God Always Wins
It’s not enough to know God is powerful. You need to know that out of His love for you, He will act on that power for your good. This may seem obvious, but we are quick in battles to question if God loves us or if He is for us. He is both, and when
