Where does the determination, the grit to continue on in this life when things are tough come from? How do we maintain heart felt joy in the face of suffering or adversity? Nehemiah helps us to discover the joy of the Lord is our strength.

The trap of comparison often ensnares us before we realize it; robbing us of our joy and diverting our attentions to the meager things we desire rather than the grand promise of salvation we already possess. A materialistic focus cannot replace the presence of God and will leave us wanting.

The holiday season can be taxing and difficult. Our sufferings can cloud our focus making the miracle of Jesus difficult to see past the brokenness of this world.

Oh Lord light a fire in us for your Word. That our hearts would clamor for the Book! That our souls would shout, "BRING OUT THE BOOK!" That we would purposefully, attentively, thoughtfully, prayerfully consume the Word. That our posture would reflect our desire to learn and listen to you speak Lord. Let us feel responsive to the Word, let it penetrate. Let us truly see our spiritual condition and existing weaknesses. Let us seek joy, the true joy that that bubbles up from within and is only found at the foot of the cross, rather than the sort of generic happiness the world is peddling. Let us stand tall on the rock as children of the promise, knowing your great grace will have the last word.

Father help us to grow in your Word where we see your character revealed. Every page speaks your Holy name. Thank you Lord for the undeserved grace you pour out on us in a continued stream and for the joy we find at the cross. Focus our attentions on the far reaching arm of the Gospel that defeats the enemy when he would taunt and lie. Lord give us a desire to remain in community, adopted daughters sharing in the joy of your presence. In this time of moral bankruptcy help us to be a beacon, a light shining your glory to those around us.

"Motherhood is about the adoration and enjoyment of our great God," Gloria Furman. Changing our thoughts on the goals of motherhood. Rooting ourselves firmly in Christ as we navigate the motherhood path.

Loving others with the same ferocity, compassion, and selflessness as Jesus.

All Christians suffer. Either you have, you are, or you will. It is comforting to know we are not alone in this suffering as the presence of God is with us.

Pinning our hopes on a wordly ideal this Valentine's Day can leave us wanting more. When we realize it's not about us, it's about God, we are full of the indescribable joy that comes from the glory of God.

Titus 2 outlines the mutual benefit and blessing derived from life together where we support, serve, encourage, and learn from each other bound by the mercy and grace of our Lord...

Harried, hurried this Christmas season? Refocus, realign, and re-entrench yourself in the Word.Fix your eyes on the cross and rediscover indescribable overflowing joy!
