Fighting Evil

2309) Evil is everywhere. It’s in our public figures, school shooters, and road-raged drivers. It’s easy to identify because evil just wants to destroy. This destruction certainly includes our physical lives, but it’s more deadly when it hides in words, minds and actions. When we are faced with evil, it might feel as if there’s

Dig a Little Deeper

2268) If you ask any random person what they desire most in life, there might be answers like: good health, my mortgage paid off, a new car. Yet, if you ask them to dig deeper, giving some thought to their answer, there may be some overlapping with their first statements, but they might see they

Second-Guessing

2265) Second-guessing is a habit that may not be the best option. It involves the melding of past history, and predictability of the actions and words of others involved. Some people are good at second-guessing, but it truly isn’t foolproof. In fact, if you’re fairly successful in doing so, it makes it a harder swallow

Do Good

2263) There have been times in my life when I have spent time with difficult people. There doesn’t have to be animosity between us; they are just people who either rub me the wrong way or value different things than I do and are quick to point this out. The good news is there’s nowhere

Enough

2259) I’m a planner; a good quality to have in many circumstances. And yet, being a planner can also have negative traits, because I can sometimes be obsessive in my need to follow a plan. I step back and say to myself; I have enough of this thing for today and for the weeks to

Rely

2256) Do you know people you can rely on? These are the ones who will show up when they say they will. They will listen and support you when you need it. If they tell you something, you can rely on the validity. Psalm 56:3 tells us, when I am afraid, I put my trust

Not My Job

2255) I was moved recently while reading about a man who learned something he would never forget, and I hope I don’t. It was simply this: you don’t have to feed the 5,000. All you need to do is bring the loaves and fish. 1 Corinthians 3:6 essentially says the same thing. It says, I

Building Up

2250) Someone asked me recently if it bothers me to write of any topic in these minute devotions when it’s clear I need to incorporate the message more into my life. I smiled and said to them that I write these devotions as much for myself as I do for others. One such topic I

Fighting for You

2243) There have been a few times in my life when someone fought for me. They stood in the gap and let those on the other side know their behavior will not be tolerated. As I think of these times, my heart fills with gratitude because I knew I was in no position to fight

Self-Condemnation

2242) Most people I have met and gotten to know share how they are “their own worst enemy,” even if it’s only from time to time. For some reason, many of us are super-critical of ourselves, and if we “let ourselves off the hook,” then it’s a breach of not holding ourselves accountable. Yes, self-accountability
