Always Give Thanks: A Daily Devotion on Gratitude

Discover why Jesus paused to always give thanks before every meal, and let this devotion inspire a grateful heart.   Good morning, friend.

If gratitude mattered enough for the Son of God to pause and give thanks before a miracle meal, it matters for us too, especially at our own ordinary tables.

Working for the Lord: A Dolly Parton Tribute Devotion

Inner Circle of Friends: Why You Need One Today

Learn why every believer needs an inner circle of friends. Jesus modeled deep connections that strengthen our faith journey.  Some seasons of life feel too heavy to carry alone. Other seasons overflow with joy too big to keep to ourselves. In both cases, God never designed us to walk through life in isolation. Even Jesus, the Son of God, chose a small group of trusted friends to walk closely beside Him. Today’s devotion looks at why every believer needs an inner circle, and why Jesus Himself modeled this truth for us.

Other mornings call for bold words. Today is one of those mornings when we need to talk about courage — the kind of courage that speaks up when silence would be so much easier. Esther faced that exact moment. Peter and John faced it too. And if we are honest, most of us will face it before this week is over.
