What’s the difference between being “faithful” to God, or pursuing our own financial dreams? #toughquestionsforgod #dailydevotion

After aging out of the foster system, a young woman finally got adopted into a loving family. The woman spent years in the foster system and actually aged out, but she was still adopted and now has parents and a loving home. Check out this heartwarming story, and make sure to have some tissues ready.

Everyone wants to be with people and in a place where they are loved and feel safe and secure. Not only does everyone want that, but they deserve to have it and feel that way. A stable and loving environment is critical to a child's development. 

Sadly, many children, through no fault of their own, find themselves in places where there is little to no love but chaos and instability reign. Children in those situations are very often abused and neglected. To try and remedy the situation, children are then placed in the foster system, where adoption by a loving, caring family is often a possibility.

Autumn Wise was one of those children in the foster care system. A clip posted on social media mentions that Autumn spent most of her life in the system. She was placed in foster care at just 3 years old and remained in the system until she aged out at 18. 

While she may have aged out at 18, two years later, at 20 years old, Autumn finally received what she had wanted her entire life: a family. 

"Once I turned 19, my now-parents had asked me if I wanted to be adopted," she said.

Autumn's adoption was official at 20 years old. To commemorate and remember the moment Autumn officially became a part of their family, her parents created a special name for that occasion.

"My parents called it Autumn's Day," she said.

Autumn added that being adopted and finally having a mother and a father means the world to her.

"It's astronomical," she said. "I, I have been standing on my own two feet for as long as I can remember. Granted, I'm still very stubborn. However, my parents have given me a foundation where if I fall, they're there to help pick me up. I didn't have that growing up."

1 Corinthians 16:14 "Let all you do be done in love."

One school system made a heartwarming decision to name a building after its dedicated janitor. It was a unique and moving honor to recognize and celebrate an employee's efforts who means so much to the students, faculty and staff. Check out this incredible story to see how one school thanked a beloved employee.

Many people see their job simply as a way to receive a weekly or bi-weekly paycheck and provide financially for their families. Of course, people should always strive to be the best employees possible. Acting in such a manner is fulfilling and follows the Bible’s command to work as if we’re working for the Lord and not for man.

However, some people go a step further and see their job as a calling. They love their position, their coworkers and their employer. People who view their position as more than a paycheck but as a calling and a purpose will go above and beyond the call of duty. Every employer wants those supremely dedicated individuals. One elementary school in Missouri has one of those kinds of people.

According to the video posted on YouTube, Claudene Wilson is a longtime janitor at a school in Swedeborg, Missouri. She is always willing to lend a hand, fulfill whatever role and step up in any way. In addition to her janitorial duties, Claudene has driven a school bus, helped in the school cafeteria, assisted with landscaping and even performed secretarial duties. Whatever is needed to be done, she is more than willing to do it.

Claudene regularly works 13-hour days at the school. She confesses that the kids, the students, keep her motivated and willing to work those long days.

To recognize all her hard work and dedication, the school board unanimously agreed to name the elementary school “Claudene Wilson Learning Center.”

Everyone – the students, staff and the school board president – agrees that Claudene is more than deserving of such an honor.

“These kids get sick; you think they go to the nurse to start with?” Chuck Boren, school board president, said. “They go to her. If they had a bad night, they go to her. I mean, she’s there for each and every one of them.”

However, Claudene, being the humble, modest and hardworking person she is, feels otherwise.

“It touches your heart, but I don’t think my name needs to be up on a building somewhere.”

Colossians 3:23 “Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men;”

If you experience chronic pain or chronic illness, you understand how impossible it can feel, at times, to hold tight to hope. On our darkest, most painful nights, we can easily feel alone and abandoned by God. Singer/songwriter Katy Nichole understands. In fact, there was a time when she wasn't sure she wanted to hold on and contemplated taking her life. But God met her in that place with a truth meant for us all. 

Christian musician Mac Powell shared heartfelt thoughts on Christ’s loving sacrifice on the cross. His moving, thoughtful and powerful words about how Christ willingly went to, suffered and died on the cross will bring a tear or two to your eyes. Check out the video to hear Mac’s words and thoughts.

If Jesus Christ had not sacrificed Himself by willingly going to the cross, all hope would have been lost. No one would have a future, and everyone would be destined to spend eternity lost. Christ’s ultimate, loving sacrifice changed everything. His death bridged the division, the rupture sin caused between God and man.  

In a clip posted on YouTube, Mac beautifully articulates what Christ’s death on the cross means for you and me. He mentions the intense pain – physical and emotional - Christ endured because of His immense, unyielding love for a bunch of sinners who had willingly turned their backs on Him.

“Jesus didn’t just go through physical suffering on the cross,” Mac said. “His closest friends abandoned Him. Even His Father had to turn away because of the weight of our sin on His shoulders, and He endured all of that, not for Himself, but for you and me.”

Later in the clip, Mac mentions what Christ’s death on the cross means for a lost world, for people who look for answers but come up empty every time.

“The cross is for you,” he said. “It’s for the ones who are lost, for the moments when you feel like you don’t matter and when you wonder if you’ll ever be enough. The cross is God’s way of saying, ‘You are seen. You are loved. You matter, and you were worth it.’”

Near the clip’s conclusion, Mac states that Christ’s love and forgiveness are nothing we deserve or could ever earn. Yet, they are freely offered to anyone who repents of their sins and turns toward Him.

1 Corinthians 1:18 “For the word of the cross seems foolish to those who are on the way to destruction; but to us who are on the way to salvation it is the power of God.”

Sometimes, stories remind us that God places courageous people in just the right place at just the right time. A brave police officer by the name of Gloria West saves a man named Randy from a fiery truck in a daring rescue. Usually, when we see cars explode and catch on fire, it’s a scene from an adventure-packed movie–not in real life. But for Randy, one late night, his life became that scene. 

He was driving down the interstate in Ohio when he realized he couldn’t stop his truck. Fearing for his life, he drove his truck into a pillar. The crash caused his truck to catch on fire, and he found himself going from one life-threatening issue to another. He was pinned down with a broken ankle and couldn’t get out of his truck. He dialed 9-1-1, and his voice was shaking in fear. He told dispatch, “Tell my wife I love her, please!” 

But God wasn’t done writing Randy’s story. Officer Gloria West of the Columbus Division of Police arrived on the scene, her calm determination shining like an angel in uniform. With just a year on the force, Gloria didn’t hesitate. She knew Randy was going to die if she didn’t do something. Her voice was firm, and she told her fellow officers, “I am not going to leave him in there.”

Her body camera footage captured the incredible rescue. As flames threatened to overwhelm the truck, Gloria and her team worked quickly to pull Randy to safety. The heat was intense, but Gloria refused to let fear stop her. Once they pulled Randy from the flames, he was rushed to the hospital, injured but alive and well, thanks to the swift actions of Gloria and her fellow officers. Gloria herself suffered minor burns, but in the scheme of saving another man’s life, it didn’t matter to her. She was thankful she had done everything she could to pull him to safety. 

These moments remind us how God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Randy’s life was saved because someone chose courage over caution. It’s not about having superhuman strength or endless courage—it’s about being available. We’re reminded that God doesn’t always call the equipped; He equips the called, like Gloria. And when ordinary people answer that call, extraordinary things happen.

John 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."

A mother and son have been reunited after he discovered that his birth mom owns his favorite bakery. A shocking and unexpected turn of events ended with a man reuniting with the woman who gave birth to him. This is such a sweet and heartwarming reunion that all started because of delicious baked goods.

Most people have a sweet tooth. Sure, we would do better to avoid them with more regularity. However, indulging yourself occasionally with a sweet treat here and there isn’t all terrible, right? After all, when it comes to food, is there anything better than that first bite of cheesecake, a chocolate chip cookie or a cupcake?

For Vamarr Hunter, a Chicago resident, the best place to pick up a sweet treat is Give Me Some Sugah on the city’s south side. While that bakery is his favorite, trying to determine the top treat there is another story.

“The lemon bars,” he said. “That was, that was my catch, and the chocolate chip cookies and the lemon pound cake.”

According to the video posted on YouTube, Vamarr has been a faithful Give Me Some Sugah for about a decade. Vamarr has frequently enjoyed the Chicago bakery and always felt right at home.

The clip adds that Vamarr also enjoyed talking to the business owner. After discovering that he was adopted, doing some research and then getting an unexpected phone call from his favorite bakery, he found out why he might have enjoyed the bakery and talking to the bakery’s owner so much. She was his biological mother.

The video adds that Lenore, Vamarr’s biological mother, put him up for adoption when she was 17 years old.

“I left the adoption open, and I said, ‘You know, if he really wants to find me, then he’ll be able to find me. But otherwise, his life must be great. I wouldn’t want to interfere in that life,’” Lenore said.

What an unbelievable reunion. The two have since developed a close relationship. Vamarr now helps to run Give Me Some Sugah, handling most of the responsibilities.

“I love my son,” Lenore said. “And the fact that I have him now in these later years is just, like, I said, that’s just, that’s just God. God is love.”

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”

A son’s heartfelt surprise brought back the car his father sold decades ago. The man went through much hard work and effort to find the vehicle his dad sold to help provide for their family. This is such a sweet and heartwarming moment. It will bring a tear or two or three to your eyes.

In life, everyone must make decisions. We make decisions so often, possibly hundreds of times every day, that we do not even realize we’re doing it. We are constantly presented with situations where we have several options and must make decisions.

Most daily decisions don’t have life-changing, earth-shattering repercussions or consequences. Nevertheless, every decision made comes with a sacrifice. Because we chose this option, we don’t get to do this or have that. However, our choices will be predicated on and determined by our priorities in life. We will make decisions that benefit what we most value and love.

A clip posted on YouTube shows the moment a son surprised his father with a blue, mint-condition 1967 Camaro. It’s the same make and model the father sold more than four decades earlier to provide for his family. The father was presented with a choice and made a decision that would benefit his family.

The big reveal was a moment, a surprise that required years of hard work. Jared Guynes, the man who presented his father with the Camaro, started the process of searching for and restoring the vehicle in 2021.

The process was even more difficult because Jared couldn’t call his father for help while working on the vehicle.

“Honestly, my dad is the expert on this car and all, what we would call carbureted cars, like muscle cars,” he said. “So many times I had a problem with the car, and if I can only have called my dad, and asked the question, he could have helped me fix it.”

Of course, that would have ruined the surprise. Jared eventually restored the vehicle, making for a moment his father will never forget.

What a beautiful act for a father who obviously loves and cares for his family very much.

2 John 1:8 “Keep watch over yourselves, so that you do not make our work of no effect, but may get your full reward.”

Shaquille O’Neal’s incredible generosity is one couple’s answer to prayer. They were praying and looking for a solution to a problem, and the Lord gave them an answer in the form of kindness from the former basketball star. Check out this sweet and heartwarming story about God's faithfulness and the power of prayer.

Reading the Bible and studying God’s Word is necessary and vital to a Christian’s daily walk with Him. Through regular and continual reading of His Word, we will learn more. Verses, passages and ideas that previously may not have made sense will become clearer, providing a better grasp and understanding.

However, prayer is even more crucial to a Christian’s growth, learning and understanding. Prayer is direct communication with the Creator. Through prayer, we can express our hopes, worries and concerns directly to Him. Also, because of those earnest prayers, we will start to see Him work in situations and provide answers to prayers.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a couple – Wendell and Laura Garrett- in Texas was shopping when they encountered Shaquille O’Neal. He was handing out shopping sprees and gave them a $500 gift card. For the Garretts, the NBA Hall of Famer’s act of kindness answered prayer.

They work with and donate to a homeless shelter, helping the less fortunate. As the clip mentions, the Garretts give yearly, even when money is less plentiful. Shaq’s $500 gift made their giving possible this year.

“I’ve been praying, like, ‘How are we going to fund this because we’ve had kind of a hard year financially,” Laura said. “And so right then and there, we knew that’s what we’re going to use that money for.”

The video mentions that Laura said that prayer right before arriving at the mall, where they ran into Shaq and received his generous gift.

“We looked at each other and just said, ‘God is so good!’” Larry said.

Mark 11:24 “For this reason I say to you, ‘Whatever you make a request in prayer, have faith that it has been given to you, and you will have it.’”

A mother’s brief interaction with a stranger helped save her infant’s life. One woman only shared a handful of words with a stranger, lasting a few moments, but they were lifesaving. Check out this video about a moving and powerful short conversation.

Children, especially young infants, require a lot of love, attention and care. Parents know what and how much children need from their caretakers to lead healthy and happy lives. Those youngsters can sometimes be tiring and leave Mom and Dad exhausted, but children are worth it every time.

As much as mothers and fathers pay attention to their children, they are still human. Human beings are prone to mistakes and don’t always catch everything; details can and do get missed. Moms and dads can and do miss things, even concerning their children.

A clip posted on YouTube highlights how vital small, tiny details are, especially when caring for young children. The video also makes it clear that when something seems wrong or off, it’s best to speak up and make those concerns known. In this case, someone speaking up was lifesaving.

In the clip, the mother, Sarah, and her family, including her 6-week-old son, Lincoln, were at a theme park. At one point, as Sarah was holding Lincoln, a man looked at Lincoln and noticed something didn’t look right about the youngster.

Sarah said she had noticed the man and acknowledged him as she walked by. Moments later, he approached Sarah and stated that something appeared off about Lincoln. He made Sarah and her family aware of “how very jaundiced he was.” He told her that they may want to have Lincoln examined by a doctor. The man, Sarah states, was a first responder.

Soon after Sarah’s interaction with that stranger, Lincoln was placed in a hospital, and four weeks later, it was determined that the child has Alagille syndrome. This manageable, lifelong but rare genetic condition impacts both the liver and the heart.

“It was a tough thing to go through, but because of that, you know, that one small thing that he did,” Sarah said. “Look at how much of an impact he had on Lincoln, on our family. And I just want to say, ‘Thank you.’”

Proverbs 17:6 “Children’s children are the crown of old men; and they glory of children and their fathers.”

This Bible text is in honor of Thanksgiving.

The video featuring John 1:29, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" pairs powerful scripture with a focus on spiritual warfare, particularly involving the dragon and Satan. The video offers several key verses for prayer, guiding viewers through this biblical journey that confronts the reality of evil, including the dragon and Satan, while addressing the consequences of sin. Through powerful verses, it emphasizes the redemptive power of the Lamb of God, providing guidance on overcoming evil and finding spiritual victory.
