When we’re forced to confront the reality that our plans will never be, it can feel like the death of our future. But if you are in Christ, your future never dies — and it only gets better.
Temptation is not just about getting to do a bad thing, but tempting you to think you’re THE thing, because if you’re the thing, then Jesus isn’t the thing at the center of all you think, desire, say and do.
“Today you will spend solitary moments of conversation with yourself, either listing your complaints or counting your blessings.” —Paul Tripp This shook my state of mind this morning. It’s time for me to be more thankful in all things. @PaulTripp
God knows our tendency to fear. That is why His Word is full of reasons not to.
The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? —Psalm 27:1
Netflix promises an escape, but can never deliver.
Money promises happiness, but will never satisfy.
Fame promises immortality, but won’t ever last.
Only joy in Jesus can deliver what it promises — fully and forever.
So thankful for the way God works. Through His word, devotion, and my awesome husband He has reminded me of His goodness and who I am in Him. 🙏🏻 #newmorningmercies#PaulTripp
God, I am constantly falling short of your glory. But because of the hope I have in you I press on toward the goal of being Your salt and light, of advancing Your kingdom. Lord, I am not worthy. But you give more grace. Rule my heart, Father.
