July 15 • A Desire For God
David was a man of wealth and power, however his desire was not for these things. In the Psalms, David writes: “Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.” (Psalm 73:25 NIV) Our first command from God is to love Him with our whole hearts (Matthew 22:37). This…

July 14 • Attacked on All Sides
If the enemy can overwhelm you, trust me, he will. He’ll attack you from all sides and in every area of your life if he has the chance. His tactic is to run you empty with attack after attack and make you feel there is no way you can overcome. What he won’t tell you…

July 13 • You Have a Choice to Make
During the lifetime of the Prophet Elijah, the Israelites, God’s chosen people, have decided that they will serve God, but they will also serve another god called Baal.

July 12 • Draw Near with Confidence
Christian author and theologian Timothy Keller once said this: “The only person who dares wake up a king at 3:00 AM for a glass of water is a child. We have that kind of access.” As children of God, we have access to God. We can talk to Him, we can ask Him for what…

July 11 • When You Doubt God
The foundation of our relationship with God is the finished work of Christ on the cross. When we doubt what God can do, it’s a sign we don’t truly believe what He’s already done.

July 10 • A Heart God Desires
Many wonder why David would be considered a man after God’s own heart. After all, he was an adulterer (2 Samuel 11:1-5), murderer (2 Samuel 11:15), and did not always please God (2 Samuel 24). From the scriptures we learn that David accredited his success to the Lord, but he owned up to his mistakes…

July 9 • Quick to Listen
It’s important to resist the urge to say anything right when we feel like it to just get it off our chest. Wisdom tells us to be patient and wait for the best time to approach a matter with our words. If we are too hasty, we get our feeling off our chest, but at…

July 8 • The Promise of God’s Presence
God gives the same promise of His presence to all believers. Not only is He with us, but He also dwells in us by the power of His Holy Spirit. Romans 8:38-39 tells us: “For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor…

July 7 • Trust That God is in Control
Much of our worry isn’t only in the thought that something bad will happen, but even more that we won’t be able to control it. We’re left feeling helpless if we base our security on our own ability and forget that although, no, we are not in control, we do know Who is. We can’t…

July 6 • Stay Filled Up on God
When we are close to God, know Him intimately, and are filling our hearts and minds with His truth, we don’t have space to fill ourselves with the lies of this world that feed our desire to sin. We need to be partaking in the living water of Jesus and the bread of life (which…
