iBelieve Truth: A Devotional for Women

As Psalm 69:29 emphasizes, our salvation – our relationships with God – will protect us. It is our source of hope when we’re in pain, now and forever.

Let’s pause each day to thank God for the wonders around us – both big and small.

If you desire to live in Jesus’ presence, His light will guide you to Him.

If you are overly stressed about providing every item on your child’s wish list, take a minute and thank God for sending the best Gift of all, Jesus.

This Christmas season, let us not only practice radical generosity but may our attitudes be cheerful and our hearts grateful as we walk in obedience to our Lord.

The Christian life is not meant to be lived alone; we are made for community and connection. A real-life, in-person meeting, not just a digital encounter, which we all know, never really fills the craving of wanting to be known and loved.

It is hard to surrender our most precious treasures and know that He will take delicate care of them.

Thankfully, our loving God restores our joy and peace as we practice rejoicing in hope, being patient in tribulation, and daily taking our cares to him.

While it’s great and very important to have people in your life who you can trust, you should never trust another imperfect human (and we are all imperfect) with something as sacred as your soul. Why? Because we are mere mortals who are all sinners saved by God’s grace (Ephesians 2:8-9).

No matter what stage of the growth process we find ourselves in, we can trust that the master farmer and original gardener is always causing good things to grow here.

What if instead of getting too caught up in what others will think or say about our homes or overwhelmed by all that goes into hosting, we focused on making each task an act of worship?

So, friend, if you find yourself not feeling merry and bright this holiday season, may I remind you that you can go to God with all your big feelings and He will hear you, comfort you, and help you.

For someone like me who’s struggled with worry most of her adult life, morning time offers a welcome fresh start.

Did you read that last line? We need to pray for all believers everywhere on this Earth. It’s not enough to only pray for ourselves.

When we feel downtrodden by the world and life circumstances, we can hold onto hope and invite God into our hearts. Only God can take the broken pieces of our lives and put them back together into something beautiful!
