What risks have I taken this year?
It seems like a lot more than usual, to be honest… But still, I realize I am far too comfortable in my life, in my home, and with the people I am with day in and day out. I need to be a little more radical, take a lot more risks. Step out on a limb for Christ, not for myself. I’m not looking for a more exciting life for me, I’m looking to do whatever I can possibly do to make...

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear....

Last night, as I was driving and listening to those words being sung, it kind of just hit me. Those words felt so real. I’ve listened to that song over and over again but this time it seemed so true in my life at that moment. I don’t understand a lot of the things that God has done and is doing in my life, and I never really will because His thoughts and ways are much much...

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you...
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. For by the grace given me...
“Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land the LORD promised on oath to your ancestors. Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. He humbled you, causing...
