There are times when God warns us without telling us exactly what is coming. We may not know what is coming, and perhaps there is wisdom in that. If we knew, we might prepare according to our own understanding instead of looking to God as our source. Whatever lies ahead, our greatest preparation is to…

Sometimes trusting God with ourselves is easier than trusting Him with the people we love. We may be able to surrender our own lives but when it comes to our children, spouses, family, or friends—especially when they are struggling—we can find ourselves reaching back for what we already placed in His hands. We worry about…

When someone we love is struggling, our natural instinct is often to help. We want to solve the problem, change their thinking, convince them to make better choices, or somehow rescue them from whatever they are facing.

The battle is real—and complacency is not neutral. We don’t have to deliberately walk away from God to drift from Him. Sometimes we simply get comfortable, distracted, and stop intentionally choosing Him. Stay awake. Guard your heart. Resist complacency. Keep choosing Jesus. ❤️ “If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall.”…
