Today’s devotion is an excerpt from Momma Moments with God: A 90-Day Devotional. If you are a mom, this book will encourage your soul to know that you have the most important job on earth…and God is right there with you. If you’re not a mom, I bet you know someone who needs this encouragement too! (Make sure and take a look at the interior of this beautiful gift book!)
Mary Moffat stood in silence in the doorway to her home. The baby, her namesake,* whimpered in her arms, aware of a tension she was too young to understand. Mary jiggled her gently and the child fell silent, calmed by the familiar gesture.The barren landscape shimmered under a blazing sun, heat radiating from the hard, baked ground. It hadn’t rained for a very long time—too long. Like mirages in the desert, the scrub and stunted trees seemed to wave and roll in the rising heat, but the delegatio
Chris and Lisa Cree discuss the significance of joy as a potent spiritual tool for Christians to combat negativity and adversity in their lives. They emphasize the scriptural support for joy as a means to conquer the enemy's attempts to diminish believers' spirits. Through personal stories and biblical references, they showcase how embracing joy leads to restoration, victory over challenges, and the reclaiming of lost blessings. Their discussion underlines the eternal joy and strength derived from faith in the Lord.

May our message and preaching be not with wise words or persuasive speech but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power. In this way your faith will not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power. (1 Corinthians 2:4-5) In the Kingdom of God thar be three types of faith: Inactive Faith Reactive Faith Proactive […]

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Romans 12:2). Paul spoke man…

Without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever draws near to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). It was by faith that Noah, being warned by God 120 years before the coming flood, constructed an ark to save his household. A great example of faith was a Canaanite woman, who cried out to Jesus, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.” His disciples begged Jesus to send her away.He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” But she came and knelt before Him, saying, “Lord, help me.” He answered, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table” (Matthew 15:20-27). Why did Jesus respond to the woman in this way? …“In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Chris” (1 Peter 1:6-7).
Faith overcomes fear. “32 And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets, 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised, who shut the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies.” (Hebrews 11:32-34). The writer to the Hebrews is corre
Hebrews 11:22 WHAT IS FAITH? Faith is believing that it is possible be “at home” spiritually in spite of where we might be physically. “22 By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions about his bones” (Hebrews 11:22). Of all the astonishing examples of faith that we can trace through the life of Joseph, this one seems the least important. Yet to the writer of Hebrews, this forward-looking prophecy is the greatest of all Joseph’
