We tend to see our lives only in the context of our daily goals and concerns, but God is weaving our lives – the good and the bad, the easy and the hard – into his infinitely good and lasting plan.

We pray in Jesus’ name because of the assurance that the Father will give us whatever we ask that most honors Jesus’ name.

Does anyone who has been “set free” from slavery really want to go back to it?

Because God sent Jesus to rescue us by taking the penalty of our sin on his cross, we do not have to suffer that penalty ourselves.

Daily Grace devotion for January 20, 2021.

Never will we find power against sin in our pride, but only in the humility that acknowledges our need for spiritual strength from daily grace.

Rather, when we ask God for help, we do so with the confidence that the One who knows the end from the beginning will do precisely what is best.

Prayer in Jesus’ name submits our finite understanding to God’s infinitely good plan to show Christ’s character and care.

God can still speak to us from his Word by allowing others to encourage us with its truths.

When we exercise the sacrificial love of Christ, we deepen our understanding of God’s care for us.
