Death Will Come
A time to be born, and a time to die… Ecclesiastes 3:1-2, ESV
Although we all know that each of us has a time to die, death often comes unexpectedly. It rarely announces itself. It almost always arrives when no one is ready. Many years ago, I remember praying earnestly for my uncle’s healing. I truly believed with all my heart that God was restoring him. I held onto scripture:
“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of Him.” (1 John 5:14–15)
So, when my uncle passed away, I was shocked and completely caught off guard. My aunt said to me, “You told me he was going to live.” I had no response, because that is what I believed. Scripture declares that by the stripes of Jesus we are healed, and I could not comprehend any other outcome. My assurance was unshaken—until the moment he died.
When my uncle passed, I was heartbroken. My faith was shaken. I could not understand why God had allowed it. I thought I had prayed according to His will. Over time, however, God began to teach me. His will is indeed for us to be healed, but healing sometimes comes in a different form. My uncle’s time on earth was complete—he had finished his assignment, and God had called him home. In truth, God had answered my prayer. My uncle was healed, just not in the way I expected.
When we begin to understand that death is a transition to another assignment, it does not remove the pain of loss, but it gives us hope. As believers, we have the confidence that we will see our loved ones again. Scripture tells us:
“The dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.” (Ecclesiastes 12:7)
Our bodies return to the earth, but our spirits—eternal—return to our heavenly Father. Even on the cross, Jesus assured the repentant thief: “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” (Luke 23:43) Each of us has a place assigned after death, but we have the choice of where we will spend eternity, based on how we live today.
The Bible teaches us how to be prepared for death:
“Now therefore fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:14–15, ESV)
The truth is, we all know that our time will one day come. The greater question is this: Are we living in such a way that when our time arrives, we can be confident that we will live eternally with Christ? Jesus declared:
“I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live; and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25–26, ESV)
For those who believe, there is a promise:
“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more. Neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4, ESV)
Key Takeaways
Death is an enemy, but it will ultimately be destroyed.
No one knows when their assignment on earth will be complete, so live now with eternity in mind.
Death has been permitted to come at its appointed time, but we can be prepared through faith in Christ.

What Is Required
It is essential to understand the authority of God and how He works in our lives. God has established specific roles of authority for each of us. In 1 Corinthians 11:3, we read:
“But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.”
As children of God, we are called to follow His Word.
Even now, as a wife of forty-two years, my responsibility remains to honor my husband and follow his leadership. In doing so, I am obeying the commandment of God. If my husband were to ask me to do something contrary to God’s Word or something I believe is morally wrong, I could bring that matter before God and trust Him to deal with it. However, if the issue is simply that I do not agree with the way he is handling something, I can even take that to the Lord but I must still submit to him as the head over me. My role is not to fix my husband—it is to trust God to do so. God will correct anything that is wrong.
For example, I am not especially fond of the way my husband manages our finances. He approaches things very differently than I would, and I believe my method might be better. Yet the reality is that our bills are always paid on time, we have savings in the bank, and our needs are abundantly met. Just because I disagree with his approach does not give me the authority to disobey God.
I am reminded of Sarah and her obedience to Abraham. Out of fear, Abraham told Sarah to say she was his sister and not his wife. Sarah obeyed her husband in each instance, and God took care of her (Genesis 12 and Genesis 20). We do not have to fight our own battles—our Creator will care for His own.
In the same way, children are to obey and honor their parents while living under their parents’ roof. It is wonderful for children to have a personal relationship with God, but as long as they live at home, they are to follow their parents’ instructions.
Scripture tells us that Isaac was forty years old and still living in his father’s household when Abraham sent his servant to find him a wife. When Isaac saw Rebekah arriving with the servant, he did not refuse her. Instead, he honored and accepted what his father had arranged, and Rebekah became his wife. The Bible shows that life went well for Isaac because he obeyed his father’s instruction.
“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.” (Exodus 20:12)
“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honor your father and mother’ (this is the first commandment with a promise), ‘that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.’” (Ephesians 6:1–3)
Even now, as a wife and mother, I continue to honor my parents. They no longer have authority over my household, but I still respect them. In our own home, my husband and I are responsible before the Lord to raise our children according to His ways.
God requires obedience in every area of life. When we live by His commands, His blessings follow:
“And if you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the Lord your God.” (Deuteronomy 28:1–2, ESV)
Key Takeaways
Submitting to God’s authority is required.
Submitting to God’s commandments is required.
Submitting to God’s control is required.

Pray About Everything
“Pray without ceasing.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17 (KJV)
In this passage, Paul writes to the church in Thessalonica, instructing them on how to live as followers of Christ. He tells them to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all circumstances—for this is God’s will for them in Christ Jesus.
So often, we take the simple, everyday things we do for granted and don’t think they’re worth praying about. But when Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He said to ask for “our daily bread.” In doing so, He reminded us that each day we need things we cannot provide for ourselves—and so we must pray daily, continually, and without interruption.
For years, I used to have a regular morning prayer time, but I didn’t pray throughout the day. Over time, I’ve learned that prayer is simply a conversation with God—and He wants to be involved in every part of our lives. I’ve found myself talking to Him about even the smallest details.
A Personal Example
On several occasions, our daughter has had to work out of town. Because of her husband’s work schedule, my husband and I have helped care for our grandson. At the time, he hated having his diaper changed. Every time someone tried, he would fight, run, scream, and cry—it felt like a battle every single time.
One particular morning, he woke up early. I had already laid out his clothes and everything I needed to change him. The moment I picked him up from his crib and he saw what was waiting, he immediately began screaming and scrambling to get away. I put him down, told him it was time to change his diaper, and he ran to hide behind his rocking chair. Instead of chasing him, I sat down by the items I had prepared, bowed my head, and prayed silently for God’s help.
When I opened my eyes, my grandson was standing right in front of me, looking at me intently. I asked, “Are you ready to get your diaper changed?” He kept looking at me quietly as I laid him down and changed him—with no fighting, no crying. It was simple and peaceful.
Why the Little Prayers Matter
When we begin talking to God about even the little things, we become better at recognizing His voice. The Holy Spirit is always guiding us, but if we haven’t developed a habit of daily conversation with Him, we can easily miss His instructions. Then, when life’s storms come, we may struggle to hear Him clearly—especially since the enemy tries to keep our focus on the trouble itself, making it harder to sense God’s direction.
That diaper change was nothing I had ever thought to pray about before, but because there was a problem, I sought God—and He answered. God wants to have conversations with us all day long. And if you don’t know what to say, just ask Him. He is ready to guide you.
He has even guided me in moments I didn’t expect—telling me where to park or giving me words to say when someone asks for advice. I no longer rely on my own thoughts; instead, I silently ask Him for wisdom as the person is speaking. And every time, they leave encouraged—not because of what I said, but because of what He gave me to say.
As Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV) reminds us:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”
When we check in with Him first, we remain aligned with His will and walk the right path.
Key Takeaways
God wants to be involved in every part of your daily life.
Jesus told us to ask for our daily bread and that means in everything.
Without daily conversation with God, you leave yourself exposed to Satan.

Every Moment Matters
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” – John 10:10
We’ve had the privilege of caring for our 18-month-old grandson for nearly two weeks. He’s a handful, but such a joy! In the midst of keeping him on schedule and managing all the “to-dos,” I didn’t realize I was allowing those tasks to steal the precious moments God had given me with him.
God used the simplest thing to open my eyes. One day, my grandson was outside with me, just staring at the ground. He pointed to the small rocks in the cement, speaking words I couldn’t quite understand. His smile was wide—he was in full discovery mode, completely absorbed in the moment.
Right then, I felt the Holy Spirit whisper to my heart: What are you learning in this moment? Your grandson is enjoying every second. He’s not worried about schedules—he’s focused on what he can discover and learn.
It struck me: When was the last time I slowed down long enough to simply enjoy where I was? I realized I’d allowed the busyness of my day to steal my most precious gift—my time. Satan is always looking for ways to do this, to rob us of the moments that matter most.
Our grandson has no concept of time. Every morning he wakes up eager to explore and play. And in that, I sensed the Holy Spirit reminding me: Jesus came so we could enjoy life to the fullest—abundantly. Every moment is an opportunity to discover more about who our Father is.
I remember when I worked an 8-to-5 job, I often heard people say, “I can’t wait for the weekend.” They were living for two days and missing out on the rest of the week. That’s one of Satan’s deceptions—convincing us that we do not have control over the bulk of our days, thereby stealing our time. In truth, our work is part of God’s calling, and He uses every assignment—every challenge, every ordinary moment—to help us grow and draw closer to Him.
We must remember: every single moment of the day is orchestrated by God. Whatever we’re facing, He is there—gently nudging our hearts back to Him.
Key Takeaways:
Your moments matter to God.
Satan seeks to steal your time.
Time is the most precious gift you have.

Aligned With Our Father
Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, the Son is not able to do anything on His own, but only what He sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son likewise does these things.” John 5:19 (CSB)
In this passage, Jesus responds to the Jews who sought to kill Him because He healed on the Sabbath and called God His Father. Even though Jesus was bringing good news and healing the sick, the synagogue leaders could not recognize the good in His actions. Their vision was clouded by their own traditions and regulations.
Many times, God calls us to move beyond our familiar paradigms. When He places a passion or desire in our hearts, it often does not align with what others—even fellow believers—may expect or approve of. We should not be surprised to face criticism, because God’s ways do not follow human traditions. Jesus Himself did not allow the destructive responses of the religious leaders to stop Him from completing the task the Father had given Him.
As we carry out our God-given assignments, we too must remain steadfast when others misunderstand or complain. Like Jesus, we can boldly say: “I am doing what God has told me to do, and He has given me the power to do it.” We are not here to please people but to please God.
This reminds me of an incident involving my husband, who plays in a small jazz band that performs throughout the greater Sacramento/Bay Area. He knows that God has opened doors for him to bring joy to others through music, and he is deeply grateful for this opportunity.
On one occasion, he was invited to play at his department’s Christmas party. He prayed beforehand, seeking God’s guidance on what songs to play. After the event, a co-worker approached him and said something along the lines of, “I thought you were a Christian. How could you play those pagan songs at the Christmas party? You didn’t play a single religious song.” My husband was shocked, especially since this person considered himself a friend. This individual was so consumed by religious thinking that he failed to see God’s presence and purpose even in the songs my husband had chosen.
We must be prepared for criticism when we choose to align ourselves with Christ. The people who most opposed Jesus were often the religious leaders of His time. He even said to them:
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which appear beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and every impurity. In the same way, on the outside you seem righteous to people, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.” (Matthew 23:27-28)
Traditions and rigid religious mindsets can easily pull us out of alignment with Jesus. We must guard against this and stay focused on Him.
Key Takeaways
Alignment with Jesus Christ often invites criticism.
Jesus never withheld the truth to spare someone’s feelings.
Alignment: a position of agreement and partnership with Christ.

Double-Minded
But he must ask [for wisdom] in faith, without doubting [God’s willingness to help], for the one who doubts is like a billowing surge of the sea that is blown about and tossed by the wind. For such a person ought not to think or expect that he will receive anything [at all] from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable and restless in all his ways [in everything he thinks, feels, or decides].
— James 1:6-8, AMP
Have you ever prayed about something and then immediately worried about whether God would answer your prayer—or wondered how it could possibly happen? Maybe you even tried to figure out ways to “help” God work it out. I’ve found myself in that very place. And I’m so grateful that God sends words of encouragement to remind me that if I doubt Him, nothing can happen. In other words, if I won’t trust Him, I can’t expect to receive an answer.
James tells us in the passage above that we cannot be double-minded—wavering between faith and doubt—when we ask God for wisdom and expect Him to respond.
Not long ago, I struggled with this very thing. I had prayed and asked God for direction, and I believed He had given me an answer. But soon, doubting thoughts began to flood my mind. I was battling to keep my faith steady. Finally, during prayer, I cried out, “God, I can’t do this anymore. These thoughts keep coming, and I don’t want to be double-minded, but I don’t know how to make them stop.”
Immediately, I began to feel His peace. Praise rose up in my spirit, and I started thanking God that He understood me and was helping me find peace through worship. As I worshiped, I felt myself release all my own plans and desires, and I was able to rest in His plan.
God is not angry with us when we struggle with doubt. He’s looking for a surrendered heart that believes His Word. I believe everything God has said is true. I believe that when I pray, He hears me and answers me. But that doesn’t mean I won’t face struggles—especially in difficult times.
James wrote this letter to encourage believers who were scattered and suffering persecution. It’s often when life is hardest that Satan launches his strongest attacks. Remember, he didn’t approach Jesus until after Jesus had fasted forty days and forty nights—hoping to catch Him at His weakest and cause Him to doubt His relationship with the Father. But Jesus showed us that we can defeat every attack with the Word of God.
And even when I can’t recall a specific scripture, I’ve learned that praise works every time. The Bible says God inhabits the praises of His people—what a powerful promise! Hallelujah!
As believers, we have blessed assurance: we don’t have to live double-minded. We can lay everything at God’s throne and receive His peace and freedom as we wait for His victory in our trials.
Think about Abraham—he asked God several times about the promise of a son. At one point, Abraham and Sarah even tried to “help” God fulfill His promise, but that wasn’t His plan. In the end, Abraham believed God’s promise, and God fulfilled it in His perfect time. And He will do the same for us.
Key Takeaways
You can release double-mindedness at the throne. Hallelujah!
God is not angry with you for struggling.
He is looking for a surrendered heart that believes His Word.

Psalm 27
Some time ago, the Holy Spirit began prompting me to study Psalm 27. The more I read it and asked questions about it, the more God started to reveal to me. It’s so like God—just when you think you understand a scripture, He invites you to look deeper, to study the meaning of words, and suddenly He brings fresh revelation.
That’s exactly what happened to me as I studied Psalm 27. It has now become part of my daily routine; I begin each morning by reading this Psalm. Since I started doing this, God led me to a powerful message by Myles Munroe titled Starting Your Morning with Psalm 27. It has truly blessed me!
I remember reading Psalm 27 often when I was younger, not realizing how much it was shaping me at the time. For some reason, I stopped. But now I’m so grateful that God has brought me back to it. I can see how He has been working change in my heart through this passage. I’ve included Psalm 27 here. My prayer is that as you read it, God will minister to your heart and give you a new revelation, just as He has for me.
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold[a] of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall. Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident. One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple.
For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock. And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the Lord.
Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answer me! You have said, “Seek[d] my face.” My heart says to you, “Your face, Lord, do I seek.” Hide not your face from me. Turn not your servant away in anger, O you who have been my help. Cast me not off; forsake me not, O God of my salvation! For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord will take me in.
Teach me your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies. Give me not up to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and they breathe out violence. I believe that I shall look[f] upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!

Show Your Love
“If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth.”
— John 14:15–17, NIV
I am so thankful that Jesus asked the Father to send us the Holy Spirit! In the passage above, Jesus was speaking with His disciples about His upcoming departure and offering them final instructions. He made it clear that the way to show love for Him is by keeping His commands.
Later, after His resurrection, Jesus met with the disciples and asked Peter three times, “Do you love me?” Each time Peter responded, “Yes,” and each time Jesus told him, “Feed my sheep.” It wasn’t enough for Peter to simply say he loved Jesus—he was being called to demonstrate that love through action. We are too. We show our love for God by obeying His commands and caring for others.
The greatest command Jesus gave is to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” He desires wholehearted devotion. The second is like it: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” When we obey God’s commands, we are expressing our love for Him.
When I was younger, I would often tell my parents I loved them, only to turn around and do exactly what they told me not to. I’d look for ways to bend the rules because I wanted to do things my own way. In the same way, when we choose to go our own way instead of following God’s commands, we’re showing that we don’t truly love Him.
Jesus commissioned us in Matthew 28:19–20:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Each of us has been uniquely gifted to help fulfill this mission. Whatever gift our heavenly Father has given us, we are to use it to be a light in the place where He has planted us. Words alone mean little without action.
Key Takeaway
The words “I love you” mean nothing without action.
Obedience to God’s commands says, “I love you.”
Love can be painful, difficult, and demanding—but Jesus Christ gave everything for us.

Thank You Jesus
"Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever!"
— Psalm 107:1, ESV
Some time ago, I attended the funeral service of my sister-in-love’s mother. One thing that was consistently repeated about this woman of God was that she always said, “Thank you, Jesus.”
As I reflected on this, the Holy Spirit began to show me why I, too, should say “Thank you, Jesus” in every situation and circumstance. He reminded me that, no matter what I face, He already has the answer worked out. The solution is in place before the problem even appears.
Around that time, our home’s air conditioning stopped working. It was over 100 degrees outside, and the repairman told us it needed to be replaced. My initial reaction was worry—I thought, Oh great, this is going to be expensive. But then, those sweet words—“Thank you, Jesus”—came flooding back into my spirit.
I immediately said, “Thank you, Jesus,” and He reminded me once again: no matter the problem, He has already worked out the solution. When I begin to worry or feel anxious, I step out of the posture of gratitude and start relying on my own understanding to fix things. But God was teaching me that He already knew this challenge was coming, and He had the answer ready. I just needed to sit with Him and wait for His direction.
I remember a dear friend sharing a tough time she was going through. During her prayer time, God told her, “I already knew about this problem and how you would respond.” That spoke deeply to me. All we have to do is keep saying, “Thank you, Jesus,” no matter what we face. In doing so, we are expressing trust in the Lord and showing gratitude that He has already taken care of the outcome.
Think about David: when he was anointed king by the prophet Samuel, it took 20 to 25 years before he actually became king of Israel. But God had already worked everything out—David did become king.
Or Peter: when he asked Yeshua to let him walk on water, Yeshua already knew the request and how it would unfold. Peter stepped out in faith, but when he took his eyes off the Lord and focused on the storm, he began to sink. Still, Yeshua had the answer and saved him.
He is the same God—yesterday, today, and forever. Whatever we face, whatever comes our way, remember to say, “Thank you, Jesus.”
Key Takeaways
When things are going well, say: “Thank you, Jesus.”
When you face trials and difficulties, say: “Thank you, Jesus.”
In all things, always say: “Thank you, Jesus.”

Sole Purpose
"For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of Him who sent me."
— John 6:38 (ESV)
I was reading a book by Andrew Murray called Humility. In one of the chapters, he lists the relationship Jesus had with His Father, quoting various scriptures where Jesus speaks about His purpose. All of them emphasize that Jesus came solely to do the will of His Father. His entire mission—His sole purpose—was to carry out whatever the Father told Him.
When Jesus calls us to deny ourselves and follow Him, this is what He means: we must recognize that “self” has no value except as an empty vessel for God to fill. The claim of self—to be or do anything apart from God—must not be entertained, even for a moment. More than anything else, humility is the essence of becoming like Jesus. We are to be and do nothing of ourselves so that God may be all in us.
(Humility, Andrew Murray)
That truth reminds me of the scripture:
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths."
— Proverbs 3:5–6
When we truly understand what Jesus meant when He said,
“If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.”
— Matthew 16:24 (ESV),
we realize that we are to become empty vessels—yielded completely to Him. We are to release everything, just as Jesus did, so our only focus becomes doing the Father’s will.
What a powerful revelation of peace and joy we can walk in when we fully surrender to His will. Imagine giving all your worries to Him and simply praying: “Father, I release my will to You.” When I think about all the disagreements my husband and I have had over how things should be done. I realize I could have saved myself so much frustration by surrendering everything to Yeshua! When we live out our sole purpose—doing the Father’s will—we find ourselves in a place of righteousness, peace and joy which is living in the Kingdom of God.
Key Takeaways:
Your will is not the priority.
Anxiety, frustration, and irritation arise when we choose our will over YHWH’s.
Yeshua’s will is our sole purpose.

Exhortation
"Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."
— Matthew 23:12, ESV
Nearly every social media account I have constantly sends me marketing tips for JCCM. They notify me of promotions, suggest strategies to gain more followers, and offer ways to increase engagement.
When I first started out, I paid for one or two of those advertisements to bring in more followers. But then I heard the Holy Spirit say, “I didn’t tell you to do that. Even if no one listens to the devotionals you post—keep posting them. I never told you to go and get followers. I told you to share My Word.”
It’s remarkable how easily we slip into thinking that Jesus needs our help—as if He doesn’t already know all things. The truth is, He doesn’t need our help—He needs our obedience.
We must be especially cautious when it comes to marketing ourselves. If we’re not careful, we may fall into the trap of pride. God knows exactly how to bring the right people to us. He doesn’t require our strategies or promotions.
Consider this: John the Baptist preached in the wilderness of Judea, and people came out to hear him. Nowhere in Scripture do we see John—or Jesus—advertising their ministry, yet the crowds were massive.
Jesus simply said, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” He never told us to follow anyone else or chase popularity.
Satan is cunning and strategic. If we’re not vigilant, we may unknowingly begin to exalt ourselves—and that is dangerous ground. Scripture tells us this is exactly why Satan was cast out of heaven:
"How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!
For you have said in your heart:
‘I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God...
I will be like the Most High.’
Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol,
To the lowest depths of the Pit."
— Isaiah 14:12–15
Satan’s fall came because he desired to exalt himself. Isn’t it interesting that so much of social media revolves around gaining more followers—yet Jesus simply said, “Follow Me”? That’s not a coincidence.
Key Takeaways
Jesus never sought to exalt Himself.
Exalting oneself leads to pride.
Pride always brings a fall.

Do Not Be Troubled
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.”
— John 14:1 (NIV)
In the passage above, Jesus is speaking with His disciples, preparing them for what is soon to come. As He shares difficult truths about His departure, the disciples become troubled and heavy-hearted. After walking with Him for over three years, the thought of Him leaving fills them with grief. Knowing their sorrow, Jesus gently encourages them: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” He doesn’t want them to be fearful, anxious, or unsettled about what lies ahead. Instead, He reminds them that their belief—in God and in Him—is enough.
I remember a time when my sister-in-love was diagnosed with breast cancer and asked me to accompany her to her doctor’s appointments. Although it was one of the greatest honors, I found myself becoming anxious and overwhelmed every time we heard a new report. I would bring a list of questions, constantly asking the doctors why they couldn’t pursue a less aggressive treatment plan.
One day, as I prayed, the Holy Spirit gently prompted me to be still. He instructed me to take communion and to anoint us with oil before each appointment. That practice brought peace to my heart. It reminded me of God’s Word and His faithfulness. When we face difficult news, our flesh naturally wants to respond with worry or fear—but Jesus reminds us that when we believe in Him, we have no reason to be afraid. He is our defense and our warrior.
Today, my sister-in-love is cancer-free and doing well. And as we continue reading in Scripture, we see that although Jesus physically left His disciples for a time, there was great rejoicing at His return. He has promised never to leave us nor forsake us. No matter what we face, He is present, guiding us through.
Recently, I was on a call with a dear friend as we shared some of the challenges we were walking through. She said something that struck me deeply: “God reminded me that He already knew everything I was going to go through—and He knew exactly how I would respond.” Nothing is a surprise to our God.
Key Takeaways:
God knows exactly what we’re going through.
Our response is never a surprise to Him.
He invites us to let go of anything that troubles our hearts.

The Rescue Mission
“The night before Herod was going to bring him out for trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, while the sentries in front of the door guarded the prison. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the cell. Striking Peter on the side, he woke him up and said, ‘Quick, get up!’ And the chains fell off his wrists. ‘Get dressed,’ the angel told him, ‘and put on your sandals.’”
— Acts 12:6–8, CSB
I was studying the Word when I was led to read a passage in Acts about James. But as I continued reading, I came across the verses above about Peter—and I was amazed by the peace he demonstrated. His close companion James had just been executed by King Herod, and Peter was scheduled to be put to death the very next morning. Yet Peter, chained between two guards, was sound asleep. He wasn't anxious or panicked. We know this because when the angel appeared in the cell and a bright light filled the room, Peter didn’t wake up! The angel had to strike him on the side to rouse him.
This passage powerfully illustrates how to walk in faith—even in the face of death. Peter’s heart was so at peace that he could rest. As I read on, I began to understand why. Later in the chapter, we’re told that the church was fervently praying to God on Peter’s behalf:
“Then Peter came to himself and said, ‘Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel and rescued me from Herod’s grasp and from all that the Jewish people expected.’ As soon as he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was called Mark, where many had assembled and were praying.”
— Acts 12:11–12, CSB
Though Peter may not have known they were praying, God responded to their intercession—and Peter experienced supernatural peace during what should have been an overwhelmingly stressful time.
God sent His angel to rescue Peter, but the prayers of the believers were part of the rescue mission. If the saints had not been praying, I doubt Peter would have had the peace that surpasses all understanding. When someone is facing a trial and asks for prayer, it is vital that we take that request seriously. Our prayers become part of their rescue. Every time we pray, we are petitioning heaven to intervene on their behalf.
Scripture reminds us:
“…pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
— James 5:16, KJV
This means that earnest, sincere, and heartfelt prayers carry great power and influence.
When we are called to intercede for others, we’ve been entrusted with a sacred assignment. It's crucial that we approach this task with sincerity, compassion, and conviction. Our prayers are not empty words—they are powerful and life-changing for those we lift up.
I remember in 2020, before the COVID-19 vaccine was available, a friend called me in distress. Her husband had contracted the virus, and his fever was dangerously high. She knew he likely needed hospital care, but we had already seen so many people not return from the hospital. She asked me to pray with her. Together, over the phone, we entered into prayer in the Spirit. While we were praying, the Holy Spirit prompted her to go check on her husband—and when she did, his fever had gone down! That’s the power of prayer in action.
There is so much power in your prayer. Use the authority God has given you to be a blessing to others!
Key Takeaways:
You are a part of the rescue mission.
Your prayers matter.

Your Will
"For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me."
—John 6:38, ESV
I remember a time when I was praying and anxiously waiting for God to respond. I was so consumed with how things were going to work out that I could hardly focus on anything else throughout the day. The situation weighed so heavily on my mind that I pleaded with God to help me stay in faith and not give in to fear and worry. I didn’t want that issue to dominate my thoughts every waking moment.
Sometimes, when we pray, God answers in ways we don’t expect. One day, during a conversation with a dear friend, she mentioned a book she was reading about humility. She shared a few passages, and I felt the Holy Spirit nudge me to buy it. So I did—and as I began reading, I was immediately convicted. The first three chapters focused on how true humility comes from surrendering our will and fully submitting to Christ. My heart grew heavy. I put the book down and went straight into prayer, seeking forgiveness. I realized I had been clinging so tightly to my own will that I had completely missed the humility of seeking God's will.
As I continued reading, I was reminded that Jesus came to earth for one purpose: to do the will of His Father. That should be the desire of every believer. I went back to prayer and repented. I confessed that I had been so focused on what I wanted that I never stopped to ask if it aligned with God's will. But when I truly surrendered, everything changed. I told God, “Whatever Your will is—that’s what I want.”
And just like that, peace came. The situation that once consumed my thoughts no longer held any power over me. I had fully released it to God, and in return, He filled me with rest and peace through His love.
Key Takeaways:
Surrendering to God’s will begins with humility.
Humility is cultivated at the feet of Jesus.
You can’t make yourself humble—transformation happens through prayer and the Word.

Promotion
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you.
— 1 Peter 5:6, ESV
I was having a conversation with my daughter, who was full of excitement. She had just been promoted and was sharing all the benefits and wonderful opportunities that came with her new position. I was so happy for her! After we hung up, I immediately began to thank God for answering prayer.
When our children were just infants, I placed them in the Lord’s hands. Honestly, I had no idea how to raise them on my own. I simply said, “God, I give these beautiful gifts back to You. Please teach me how to care for them.”
As I was thanking God for my daughter’s promotion, the Holy Spirit tugged at my heart. He said, “You can have promotion too. Do you want more income?” I was surprised and responded, “What? Yes!” He continued, “You have not because you ask not.” (James 4:2)
Let me explain why this caught me off guard. My husband and I have both retired from our state jobs. We receive pensions, Social Security, and a little extra income from side work. But truthfully, it doesn’t provide enough for all the things we desire to do that are on our hearts. The Holy Spirit continued speaking: “Many retired people declare they are on a fixed income—and so that is what they have. But you do not have to live like that. I am God. If the world knows how to offer promotions and income increases, how much more do I? Ask Me for promotion and income increase.”
And so, I did.
Satan, the ruler of this world, often drops lies into our spirits, and without even realizing it, we come into agreement with them—limiting the blessings God desires for us. When we agree with a lie, we come into covenant with it, and as a result, it becomes our reality. Just as Abraham entered into covenant with God and it had to be as God promised, covenants work the same way.
We must be very careful about what we allow ourselves to agree with. These covenants remain binding until we go before our Father, plead the blood of Jesus, and cancel the lies we've accepted. Amen.
Covenant: a formal agreement or promise, often written, between two or more parties, outlining specific obligations and commitments.
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
— Matthew 19:26, NIV
Key Takeaways
I can limit God’s blessings by what I come into agreement with.
There is no “fixed income” with God.
Promotions are always available when we walk in obedience to God.
Prayer
Heavenly Father,
You are so kind and gracious. We thank You for Your love and concern for Your children. You have so many blessings prepared for us that we cannot even imagine. We repent for coming into agreement with the lies of Satan. We ask for Your forgiveness and we say “yes” to the promotion and increase You have ordained for us. Thank You for bringing this revelation to our souls. To You be all glory and praise. Amen!

Interruptions
Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
— Proverbs 19:21, NIV
I do not like to be interrupted when I am writing because it causes me to lose my train of thought. I always try to find a quiet place where I won’t be disturbed. Usually, when my husband is headed off to one of his gigs or busy doing yard work, I can really focus.
However, one particular afternoon, I was writing in our backyard. I love sitting out there when the weather is nice, simply listening to God. It’s so beautiful that I often wonder if this is a small glimpse of what it may have been like for Adam and Eve walking with God in the Garden of Eden.
While I was sitting there writing, to my surprise, one of our neighbors came through the gate and walked into the backyard. Immediately, I sensed in my spirit that my husband had sent her to me because he was being interrupted while working in the front yard. He had left the gate open and suggested that she come see me. I could feel myself beginning to get a little annoyed, but the Holy Spirit stopped me.
What I didn’t realize was that I actually needed the break—and even more, I needed to allow His light to shine through me in that moment. She told me that my husband had mentioned I was doing Bible study in the backyard, and although she knew I was studying the Bible, she came anyway. We had a short chat about God’s word and some of the things going on in her life, and then she left.
It was a brief but meaningful visit—just enough time for her to receive what she needed. The Holy Spirit reminded me that He is the one who ordains our days and determines whom we are to encounter. We must be willing vessels, ready to stop, submit, and listen—no matter how important we think our current task may be.
What good would it have done for me to continue writing devotionals while God was purposely sending someone to me in person who needed His word right then? We must be careful to stay aligned with our Father at all times. He is purposeful in everything. Amen.
Key Takeaways
God allows interruptions, so pay attention to what He is doing.
Don’t be so holy that you miss the blessing.
Control belongs to God, not you.

Expect Resistance
The Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for I have handed them over to you. Not one of them will be able to stand against you.”
— Joshua 10:8, ESV
In the passage above, Israel was taking possession of the land that God had promised them. However, there were people already occupying the land that God had declared as theirs. As Joshua prepared for battle, God assured him not to fear, for He had already delivered the enemy into Israel’s hands. Joshua was preparing to fight five kings from different regions in Canaan. Though they outnumbered Israel, no man is a match for God.
Almost everything God promises us will come with resistance and opposition. We must understand that Satan will not easily surrender any territory. He will use every weapon in his arsenal to hinder us from advancing into victory. This is why it is so important that we know how to confront the enemy. Scripture reminds us that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this darkness, against evil, spiritual forces in the heavens (Ephesians 6:12).
God had given Joshua specific strategies to defeat the five kings. If you read the entire chapter, you’ll see that Israel marched all night to confront the enemy. Then, God sent a hailstorm that took out more soldiers than Israel did in battle. In the same way, God provides us with strategies to win the battles we face today. Scripture tells us to pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints (Ephesians 6:18). We take territory in the spirit through prayer. We pray the Word, aligning our prayers with God’s promises concerning our situation, and then we watch with expectation for God’s manifestation.
We do not engage in flesh and blood battles unless God instructs us to do so—otherwise, disaster is certain.
I’ve shared before about a time I requested a promotion but was denied, even though my workload fit the classification I was seeking. Since I had previously worked in Human Resources, I knew all the laws and procedures, so I filed an out-of-class claim and submitted all the necessary paperwork. Yet, I was denied once again because I was fighting in my own strength. It wasn’t until I took the matter to God in prayer and supplication that the promotion came—and it happened instantly!
We must go to God first in prayer and seek His instructions for how to move forward, so we can experience success. Otherwise, we are out here trying to fight an enemy we are no match for without the Holy Spirit. We will miss blessings every time we attempt to handle matters on our own.
Key Takeaways
We are guaranteed defeat when we move in our own strength.
Prayer, supplication, and obedience to the Lord bring absolute victory.
Flesh and blood has no power.

Releasing Control
“Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.”—Luke 22:42, KJV
Control: To exercise restraining or directing influence over; to have power over; to rule.
In the passage above, Jesus is praying to the Father, asking if the cup of wrath—the suffering He was about to endure—could be removed. Yet before God responds, Jesus adds a powerful declaration: “Not my will, but Yours be done.” Though Jesus had full authority and the power to come down from the cross, He surrendered His will to YHWH.
There’s a song by William McDowell called I Give Myself Away. One of the lines says, “I give myself away so You can use me.” Another says, “Lord, my life is in Your hands.” I used to sing that song often, and I meant every word. But over the years, I’ve realized that while it’s easy to say those words, truly releasing my will is harder than I expected. We can be sincere in what we say, but when the opportunity comes to actually submit our will, it often comes with a challenge.
Some time ago, my husband and I were navigating an insurance claim for one of our homes. I thought I had released control and was letting him handle it—until one day, while we were in the car, he received a call from the insurance adjuster. The call was on speaker because he was driving, and as I listened, I felt myself getting increasingly upset. I didn’t understand the decision he had made or how it would affect our claim. As soon as he hung up, I jumped in with my frustration.
In that moment, I could feel the Holy Spirit gently reminding me that I had released control. But my emotions were so strong that I couldn’t stop myself. My husband calmly said something like, “I prayed about this, and I believe this is what God is leading me to do.” His words made me pause and reflect on my behavior.
Satan is always looking for opportunities to trip us up. He’s strategic. Until that moment, I thought I had let go of control—but the situation revealed otherwise. That’s why Scripture tells us to pray about everything: because we truly can’t do this on our own. Jesus told the disciples, “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Matthew 26:41)
Even with good intentions, our flesh is weak. Without prayer and the help of the Holy Spirit, we will fall back into what we thought we had surrendered.
Key Takeaways:
Good intentions do not always lead to right actions.
Releasing our will to control only happens through the help of the Holy Spirit.
Prayer is the power source for releasing control.

Consequences
“Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed.” — Proverbs 15:22, ESV
Some time ago, I made changes to my computer setup without realizing the impact it would have on my body. Unknowingly, I had altered the ergonomic position of my workstation. It took about six months before I began experiencing pain throughout my body. For a while, I couldn’t understand what was causing the discomfort. But during a doctor’s visit, we discussed any recent changes I had made—and that’s when we discovered the culprit: the adjustments to my workstation.
My doctor referred me to physical therapy, where I received specific exercises to help correct the issue. I also had to readjust my setup to support a healthier posture.
During that time, the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart:
“When you adjusted your workstation, you didn’t realize the consequences that would come with that adjustment. Your intentions were good, but good intentions still brought you pain.”
He continued:
“It’s the same in the world. When individuals go against My will—even with good intentions—they still suffer the consequences of their actions. People often wonder why a good God would allow suffering. But many hardships result not from a lack of My love or care, but from the choices people make.”
God expressed this to Israel in Hosea 4:6:
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”
When we ignore God’s commands or fail to seek understanding, we open ourselves up to consequences we never intended. I’m reminded of the story of Jephthah in the Bible. He made a vow to the Lord, saying:
“If you give the Ammonites into my hands, whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the Lord’s, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering.” — Judges 11:30–31, ESV
When Jephthah returned home, his only child—a daughter—came out to greet him. Scripture doesn’t clearly state whether he fulfilled the vow through an actual sacrifice, which would have gone against God’s law. Still, his impulsive promise brought heartbreaking consequences.
A personal example also comes to mind. When my husband and I were younger, we purchased a duplex. We lived in one unit and rented out the other. Later, we decided to sell the property and buy a house. What we didn’t realize was that, because part of the property had been used as a rental, we were required to pay capital gains tax—a costly mistake we hadn’t anticipated. Although we were faithfully serving God, we failed to seek wise counsel before making that decision, and we paid the price.
As Scripture reminds us:
“Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed.” — Proverbs 15:22, ESV
“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” — James 1:5, ESV
God promises to instruct and guide those who trust in Him. When we seek first the kingdom of God, lean not on our own understanding, and acknowledge Him in all our ways, He will direct our paths (Proverbs 3:5–6). He is our Shepherd, and as we submit to Him, He will faithfully lead His sheep.
Our God is so gracious that even in the midst of costly mistakes, when we repent and turn to Him, He will restore what we have lost.
Key Takeaways
Disobedience leads to costly consequences.
God will lead us to wise advisers when we seek His help.
Be cautious when making vows—they can carry significant consequences.

Yes
“I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.” — Jeremiah 17:10, ESV
“But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your ‘yes’ be yes and your ‘no’ be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation.” — James 5:12, ESV
Yes is such a powerful word. The dictionary defines yes as an affirmative answer or decision, especially in a vote. But when you think about the yes Jesus gave for your sins—who else truly deserves your yes?
Yeshua (Jesus) is the only one worthy of our full and unwavering yes.
Some time ago, a reader responded to my devotional titled Surrender. She mentioned how deeply the song Only Jesus by Kirby Kaple, Chandler Moore, and DOE had moved her—especially the line: “You’re worthy of my yes.” I went back and listened to it again, and wow—there truly is no one else more deserving.
When we say yes, it is a decision to move forward with what we’ve committed to. Yet how often do we say yes, only to back out later because of how we feel, the weather, fear, or other circumstances?
But when Yeshua said yes to the cross, He meant it—completely and without hesitation. He chose to suffer. He chose to be crucified. And He never turned back. His yes came at the highest cost.
So here’s the question: Have you made an affirmed yes to Yeshua?
Many people say they believe in Jesus Christ and have accepted Him as their personal Savior, but their lives show little evidence of obedience. A yes isn’t just spoken with the mouth—it’s lived through the will. It’s the posture of a heart fully surrendered to God, no matter what may come.
Scripture reminds us:
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and in Your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from Me, you evildoers!’” — Matthew 7:21–23, NIV
So, what does your yes look like?
Key Takeaways
Straddling the fence is not a yes.
Saying yes has nothing to do with how you feel or what consequences may follow.
Yeshua is the only one worthy of your unwavering yes.
Affirmations: Matthew 10:20; Luke 24:32; Ephesians 6:19; Isaiah 55:11
