Dear Daughter,
Choose closeness over comfort every day 🕊️
When tired, still connect. When hurt, still pray together.
Real intimacy is forged in these moments.

Don't let social media, news headlines, influencers, politicians, or even pastors become your ultimate authority. Filter everything you hear and read through the lens of Scripture. God's Word is truth, and it is the standard by which every claim, opinion, and worldview should be tested.

What a gift it is to wake up knowing that Christ reigns and His promises never fail. Whatever today holds, you can face it with joy because your Savior is faithful. Lift your eyes to Him, trust His Word, and let your life point others to His glory.
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!

No matter what tomorrow brings, we have a Savior who has already overcome. ✝️

One day, every sermon you've ever heard...
Every Bible you've ever owned...
Every opportunity God has given you...
Will testify either for you...or against you.
Don't waste the light you've been given.

The Bible does not need to be redefined simply because modern people dislike what it says.
It is the unchanging, always relevant, ever-truthful Word of God.

Amazingly, because of the sufficiency of Christ’s atoning sacrifice, we not only have forgiveness for yesterday and today’s sins but for tomorrow’s sins also.
One day in Heaven...
No anxiety.
No temptation.
No funerals.
No cancer.
No broken marriages.
No sadness.
No false teachers.
No death.
Most importantly...
Jesus Christ will be there.
That alone is enough.

July 29: When It’s Really Urgent
#Devotional
2 Samuel 20:1–21:22; 2 Peter 3:14–18; Psalm 146:1–10
The urgency of God’s work is easily lost on us. But to the early church, Jesus’ return seemed imminent. We get a sense of this urgency in Peter’s second letter, where he writes that every moment between now and when Jesus returns is a moment of grace; therefore, believers must work harder than ever to bring others to Christ and grow in their relationship with Him.
Peter remarks, “Therefore, dear friends, because you are waiting for [Christ to return], make every effort to be found at peace, spotless and unblemished in him. And regard the patience of our Lord as salvation” (2 Pet 3:14–15). God wants to see more people come to Him—that is why He has not returned. When we feel like Peter’s audience does, wondering why Jesus hasn’t returned, Peter’s explanation can help us refocus and remember that it’s not really about us; it’s about others.
The Christian life is marked by a focus on God and our neighbors. The more we love Him, the more we learn to love our neighbors. And the more we love our neighbors, the more we become like Christ. We get closer to God with each act of love, and each act of love brings someone else closer to Him as well.
Peter continues, “Therefore, dear friends, because you know this beforehand, guard yourselves so that you do not lose your own safe position because you have been led away by the error of lawless persons. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Pet 3:17–18). For Peter, the major issue is whether his audience will stay focused on Jesus or be led astray by false teachers. If the false teachers are able to sway his audience’s beliefs, then perhaps they never believed at all. By disavowing the assertions of false teachers, enduring persecution, and dedicating themselves to Christ’s grace, his audience shows their true faith. The act of defying evil readies God’s people for His return.
When all of our lives are focused on God’s eternal work, the questions about priorities, how we show love, and what matters to God suddenly have answers. God’s urgency becomes our priority.
What priorities has God given you? Are you living as if the end could be around any corner?

July 29 - Faith out of Desperation
#LifeOfChrist
“And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, ‘Save us, Lord; we are perishing!’ He said to them, ‘Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?’” (Matthew 8:25–26).
Sometimes God has to bring us to a point of desperate need before He can get us to turn to Him. That’s what happened to the disciples when the storm was about to swamp their boat. They had no other human solutions for their emergency and had to come to Jesus with their need. If He could cleanse lepers and heal every other sort of disease, maybe He could control nature.
Even the greatest believers in redemptive history have wavered in their faith in their most difficult circumstances. The psalmist asked, “Why do You stand afar off, O Lord? Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?” (Ps. 10:1; cf. 44:22–23). Isaiah even wondered why God seemed not able to help His people: “Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord; awake as in the days of old, the generations of long ago” (Isa. 51:9). Much like the disciples on the lake, the prophet could not see why God was asleep when His people were dying.
God wants people to turn to Him, especially for salvation when it’s a matter of spiritual life and death. We can often get out of dire situations involving finances, health, or family relations without the Lord’s direct intervention. But when it comes to spiritual salvation, there is no other resource but God. After we are saved, the Father still wants to hear from us—in that way we show we have not forgotten Him, even in desperate circumstances.
Ask Yourself
What do we forget on ordinary days, times when we feel like we can manage well enough on our own without God’s help or provision? What would desperate faith look like on a typical, average day?

You are not saved because of your works, but works will always follow genuine salvation.
Before you ask, "What do I want?"
Ask, "What most glorifies God?"
That single question changes countless decisions.

If Christ is merely useful to you, you have not yet seen His glory. He is worthy of worship even if He never gave you another earthly blessing.
