Want more joy in your day? Cultivate it! Joy springs from viewing the day’s events from eternity’s perspective. With this intentional focus, you’re sure to see today differently—with more joy and conviction that God is at work in your life.
Every Christian has experienced times when trials seem overwhelming. We naturally wonder: Where is God? Is God letting us down? Does He care? If God is good, then why is He allowing evil to triumph?
Father, thank You for the accounts of Scriptures’ ordinary people who followed You faithfully. I seek Your help as, together, we write my story of faithful devotion.
Father, thank You for a model like Paul. He wasn’t perfect, but he had an enduring determination and he persevered through adversity. He pressed on, in season and out of season. Give me the tenacity to do the same.
Father, thank You that nothing can separate me from Your love. Not trouble. Not calamity. Not persecution, danger, or even death. I cling to Your promise: “Overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us” (Romans 8:37).
Father, broaden my vision of the greatness of Christ. Draw me nearer to Him so that I can see nothing else but His glory, His beauty, His grace. Help me to consider every event in my life as an opportunity to give Him praise.
After 26 years as senior pastor of Stonebriar Community Church, Pastor Chuck will step down in October 2024 at age 90. He will continue ministry through Insight for Living, focusing on mentoring, podcasts, and writing.
Father, I call to You, my great God. Speak to me through this ancient book. Talk in terms that I can understand, and begin a work of changing my thinking so that I can change my way of living. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Jabez’s heartfelt prayer moved the Lord’s hand of mercy: “God granted him his request” (4:10). By answering Jabez’s prayer, the Lord elevated him as an honourable, distinguished, and respected man in Israel.
