No Darkness

2319) We know what darkness is, literally and figuratively. We see darkness every 12 hours. We know what it means to be “in the dark” about something. Because we know what darkness is, it might be easier to relate to all things darkness-wise because we’re comfortable with the known. Maybe, too, we feel like we

Making Plans

2318) I’m a planner. I wish I could say it was solely because I’m a good steward of my time (which I hope I am). I primarily make plans because it lowers my anxiety. Yes, I’ve battled anxiety long before it became a social buzzword. My goal in making plans is often because I desperately

Delegate

2318) Sometimes you’ve got too much on your plate. You might feel you’re running from thing to thing trying desperately to keep the balls you are juggling in the air. If you’re like me, you keep running and only stop when you can do no more. I don’t do this because I think I’m the

Building Up

2317) Anytime someone comes to mind, we have an inward reaction to the memories that surround our interactions with them. One of these is that we can relive how others made us feel about ourselves. Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians 5:11 that we have the ability to encourage and build up others; to help

Body Building

2316) I have admired anyone who runs for exercise and competition. I know it’s not something I can successfully do, and yet; I understand its value. Anyone who spends time bodybuilding is doing something good. It helps our bodies to stay strong and healthy. Paul recognizes this in 1 Timothy 4:8. He tips his hat

2315) If I stopped within any hour of my day, I could notice how many things cross my mind which are related to temporal things. The food I need to prepare. The clothes I need to wash. The traffic on the road. All these things involve the temporal. Yet, Jesus said in Luke 12:15 Take

Excellence

2314) Each of us has gifts and abilities we were born with. We might have a head for numbers, organizational skills and athletic abilities. All of these things are good, and yet, there are specific gifts God gives his children, often labeled the “Gifts of the Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 12) These gifts are promised to

Examples

2313) I had someone ask me if I feel “unworthy” to write about the spiritual life we should have in these minute devotions. They weren’t trying to insult me; instead, their sincere question was, do you have to be perfect in the areas of your spiritual life which you write about? It is a relief

Bowing Down

2312) Most people in our country have heard the name of Jesus. The name can come up in casual reading; amidst swearing; in the news and more. What I wonder about the people who use his name casually is what or who they think Jesus is? Is he just someone people generally think of at

Your Word is Truth

2311) So much of our lives is wrapped up in deceit. Call them “white lies”, fibs, scams, or untruths, but they all have lies within them. Everywhere we look, we can find these labels for deceit, and if we’re wise, we need to be aware of this fact 24/7. What would our lives be like
