When suffering and pain invades our sleep, what should we remember to find calm and comfort? Outline Pain and remembering (vv1-9) Remembering God's character (vv10-15) Remembering God's salvation (vv16-20)

If you've been running on empty for months — chronic fatigue, autoimmune flares, a body that won't cooperate no matter how much you sleep — and part of you has quietly wondered whether God is doing this to you or just letting it happen, this episode is for you. We're walking through five biblical reasons God allows suffering, and what to actually do while you're still in the middle of it. Fair warning: these reasons aren't wrapped in a bow. A few of them are genuinely hard to sit with. But stay to the end, because there's real encouragement waiting there. This one is for the Christian woman who is done spinning her wheels and ready to take real steps toward healing — body and faith, together. As a Registered Nurse and holistic health coach, I bring both a clinical lens and a faith-centered one to this conversation, because holistic health was never meant to separate the two. Why God Allows Suffering: 5 Biblical Reasons 1. So God's Works Can Be Displayed — John 9 When Jesus's disciples ask who sinned to cause a man's blindness, him or his parents, Jesus answers plainly: neither. "It was not that this man sinned or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him." — John 9:3 Illness isn't always a verdict on someone's character. Sometimes it's simply the setup for what God plans to do next. If you've walked through healing, your story matters — telling it points other people back to Him. 2. Because God Works in Ways We Don't Fully Understand — Job The Book of Job is genuinely hard, and it's okay to say so. Job loses his family and his health, and when God finally speaks, He doesn't explain Himself. "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding." — Job 38:4 There's no tidy resolution here. Just a reminder that we serve a God whose understanding is bigger than ours — which means some suffering won't make sense from where we're standing, and that's allowed to be true without shaking our trust in Him. 3. Temporary Suffering Can Be Training Now, and Protection Later — Joseph, Genesis 50 Joseph was sold into slavery by his own brothers, falsely accused, and imprisoned — roughly seventeen years between the dream God gave him and the day it came true. When his brothers later feared retaliation, Joseph told them: "You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive." — Genesis 50:20 God used that season to train Joseph for the leadership he'd eventually need, and that same training is what positioned him to protect his entire family years later when famine hit. The suffering came first. The protection came after, once the training had done its work. If you're walking through chronic illness or a season of low energy right now, it's worth asking what this might be preparing you for, and who it might one day let you protect. 4. So God's Power Can Be Made Perfect in Weakness — 2 Corinthians 12 Paul asked God three times to remove his "thorn in the flesh." God didn't. "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." — 2 Corinthians 12:9 Paul's conclusion was that his weakness became the very thing that made him strong. Self-sufficiency tends to pull us toward leaning on our own strength instead of God's. Sometimes the thorn stays so the credit goes to God's power, not ours. 5. So We Will Lack Nothing — James 1 "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness... that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." — James 1:2-4 Nobody signs up for trials willingly. But if the process produces something in us we'd otherwise be missing, that reframes the waiting — even when it doesn't make it easy. What to Do While You're Waiting on God Faith Matters — But It's Not a Verdict on Your Healing (Luke 8) A woman who had been bleeding for twelve years touches the edge of Jesus's garment and is instantly healed. He tells her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well." Faith plays a real part in healing. But just because you haven't been healed yet doesn't mean you don't have enough faith. The man born blind in John 9 wasn't blind because of a lack of faith. Faith is a factor, but it's not the only one. There may be other things at work that have nothing to do with how much faith you have, so there's no need to carry guilt over it or pick yourself apart looking for what's missing. Obedience Is Part of the Process (2 Kings 5) Naaman was told to dip in the Jordan River seven times to be healed of leprosy — and he almost refused because it felt too simple. When he finally obeyed, he was healed. Sometimes God is asking for action alongside our faith — working with a doctor, researching natural remedies, changing a habit, simply doing the next obedient thing in front of you. Faith and action aren't in competition. And underneath it all is a quiet principle worth remembering: we reap what we sow. Good choices tend to bear good fruit, even when the harvest is slow to show up. Remembering God's Goodness in the Waiting There's a lot in Scripture that's genuinely hard to understand — Job's story, Ezekiel being told not to publicly mourn his wife, and plenty more. But understanding everything was never the requirement for trusting God's goodness. "He will never leave you nor forsake you." — Hebrews 13:5 "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose." — Romans 8:28 He's been proving that for thousands of years. He's still doing it now, even in the waiting. Key Takeaways Suffering is not automatically a punishment for sin or a sign of insufficient faith. Some of God's ways genuinely won't make sense from where we're standing — and that's allowed. Hard seasons can be preparation for something ahead that isn't visible yet. Faith and practical obedience — medical care, lifestyle changes, natural remedies — work together, not against each other. You're responsible for your next faithful step, not for forcing an outcome or understanding the whole plan. This episode is educational and faith-based reflection, not medical advice or a diagnosis.  Ready for Your Next Step?

Walking on Water Have you ever felt like you've been rowing against the wind for far too long? In Episode 159 of 2 Minute Disciple, we meditate on Mark 6:45–52, where the disciples find themselves battling strong winds in the middle of the night while Jesus watches from a distant hillside. What makes this story so comforting is that Jesus sees them long before He reaches them. While the disciples strain at the oars, exhausted and afraid, Jesus is fully aware of their struggle. He knows where they are. He knows what they are facing. And at just the right moment, He comes to them. Walking on the water, Jesus reveals far more than His power over nature. He reveals His identity. When He says, “It is I. Don't be afraid,” the original language echoes the divine name revealed to Moses: “I AM.” This is not merely Jesus identifying Himself. It is Jesus revealing Himself as the God who sees, who comes near, and who is present in the storm. Mark adds another surprising detail. The disciples are amazed because they still had not fully understood the miracle of the loaves. Despite witnessing God's provision, they struggled to trust Him in the next challenge. How often do we do the same? This passage invites us to remember God's faithfulness in the past so that we can trust Him more fully in the present. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why Jesus' awareness of the disciples' struggle matters for us today • The deeper meaning behind Jesus walking on water • What Christ reveals about Himself through the words “I AM” • How spiritual memory strengthens faith during difficult seasons • A practical habit for remembering God's provision and presence Scripture

Psalm 78:2 reminds believers of the importance of remembering and recounting God’s faithfulness through every generation. In this devotional, Jennifer Slattery explores how seasons of chaos, uncertainty, fear, and hardship can tempt Christians to lose sight of God’s power, provision, and promises. When life feels overwhelming, believers often try to regain control on their own, yet Scripture continually points back to the faithfulness of God as the true foundation for peace and stability. This devotional highlights how the Israelites repeatedly witnessed God’s miraculous provision and deliverance, yet often forgot His faithfulness when new challenges arose. Through intentional reflection and remembrance, Christians can strengthen their faith, overcome fear, and build deeper trust in God’s character. Remembering God’s past faithfulness becomes a powerful way to steady the heart, encourage future generations, and remain anchored in hope during uncertain times. Highlights Remembering God’s faithfulness strengthens faith during difficult seasons. Fear and anxiety often grow when believers forget God’s past provision. Scripture repeatedly calls God’s people to reflect on His works and promises. The Israelites struggled because they continually forgot God’s deliverance. God remains faithful even when His people are fearful or weak in faith. Reflecting on God’s past provision helps believers trust Him in present trials. Intentional remembrance builds peace, hope, and spiritual endurance. Do you want to listen ad-free?

Full Transcript Below: How Remembering God’s Faithfulness Rebuilds Your FaithBy: Jennifer Slattery Bible Reading:I will open my mouth with a parable;I will utter hidden things, things from of old. —Psalm 78:2 Lately, life has felt heavy and chaotic, hasn’t it? Sometimes it feels like everything is spinning backward, upside down, and inside out, and frankly, there’s not much I can do about it. I can’t fix our economy or prevent the next recession. I can’t undo the division and polarization plaguing our nation. I can’t solve my loved one’s problems or prevent their pain. And when everything hits simultaneously, or my hardship continues for any length of time, I temporarily lose sight of the power, promises, and love of Christ. Such forgetfulness is dangerous in times of crisis, because it tempts me to rely on myself and seek control. But I’ve created enough messes to know the foolishness of any so-called solutions not provided by Christ. Thankfully, He never leaves me to navigate life’s challenges alone. I watched Him resurrect my marriage when it seemed dead. He’s provided for us in miraculous ways and guided us through confusion and uncertainty. My life has become a living testimony of His grace. A grace that, when remembered and reflected upon, deepens my faith, strengthens my obedience, and purifies my love for the One who never leaves my side. I see this strategic interaction all throughout Scripture. We humans excel at falling into messes; the Lord excels at pulling us out and setting us on a new, brighter, freer path. This is the message Asaph, the prophet and royal musician who penned Psalm 78, conveyed. He wanted the Israelites to consider God’s faithfulness to His often faithless and rebellious people. He asked them to listen, and then to repeat the lessons he taught, as a way to encourage their souls, yes. But also to build faith into the next generation. To help insulate them from falling into the same self-defeating traps as the older generation (vs 6-8). Scripture records some of the most shocking examples in Exodus, a historical narrative recounting the people’s liberation from slavery and oppression and journey to the Promised Land. They should’ve completed this 200 to 400-mile trek within ten days, a few weeks max. But when it came time to enter their new, God-given land, they refused, out of fear. This, after having witnessed the Lord’s miraculous intervention numerous times. Consider how their story began—an entire population, held captive, powerless, for centuries. They had no recourse, no voice, and likely assumed things would never get better. How could they, a weak and beaten-down people group, possibly break free from the most powerful ruler in the ancient world at that time? That’s also why God’s rescue would’ve made such an impact. He infused hope into a seemingly hopeless situation, proving His power over the most oppressive and established systems and history’s most vicious tyrants. But then, soon after their liberation, they found themselves trapped again, this time with a large body of water on one side and a skilled, armed, and trained military advancing on the other. Understandably, the people panicked. They deemed their circumstances hopeless. But again, God came through, parted the water so they could pass across on dry ground, then swept their cruel abusers into the sea. Again and again, God’s people found themselves in dire situations. And again and again, God came through, proving His love. Demonstrating His attentive care. In each instance, He presented them with an opportunity to deepen their faith, build greater trust in their Maker, and establish a more secure connection with Him. Sadly, they never seemed to accept His beautiful invitation—because they refused to learn from their past. Instead, they remained reactive, fearful, anxious, and in repeated chaos with themselves, one another, and their Lord. Asaph challenged the later generations to consider their ancestors’ self-defeating patterns so that they could learn to live differently, with more faith and less fear. And he did so by highlighting God’s faithfulness, often displayed when His people behaved most faithlessly. Intersecting Life & Faith: Each day, God offers us the same lesson. He invites us to engage in intentional reflection, where we periodically pause to recall evidence of His love and examples of His care. This remembering strengthens our faith and our attachment to our Savior. As we consistently draw closer to Him, listen for His life parables, and fortify our souls with truth, He steadies us. He enables us to stand firm, immovable, regardless of how shaky the ground beneath us feels. How might intentionally remembering God’s power, promises, presence, and provision increase your faith and peace and decrease your anxiety for whatever difficulties you might face? Perhaps journal on one instance each day. In a year’s time, you’ll have 365 accounts of His faithful care for you and those you love.

Daily Dose of Hope May 19, 2026   Name of God:  Jehovah Nissi – The Lord Is My Banner Scripture:  Exodus 17:8-16, Isaiah 11:10-12, Psalm 20:5-7, John 12:32   Prayer:  Holy God, I come before You today acknowledging You as Jehovah Nissi, the Lord my Banner. When the battles of life surround me and the enemy's tactics seem overwhelming, I do not have to fight in my own strength. I look to You as my defender and my source of strength.  In Jesus' Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  We are currently in a study on the names of God in the Old Testament.  As we have mentioned, in the ancient world, names held a great deal of significance, indicating aspects of someone's character and purpose.  Certainly, it is the same with God.  God has many different names, all of which demonstrate one aspect of His character.  Today, we are focusing on Jehovah Nissi.   Jehovah Nissi (or more accurately YHWH Nissi) means the Lord is my Banner.  Nissi comes from the Hebrew word Nes (nês), meaning something lifted up as a standard or banner.  A standard is a flag or rallying point during battle, while a banner was usually set on top of a mountain to show people where to assemble and it flew over the warriors as they fought.   In Exodus 17:8-16, we find an excellent portrayal of Jehovah Nissi fighting for His people; it's also the only place in Scripture specifically referencing the name Jehovah Nissi. The Amalekites, an enemy of Israel, came to fight at Rephidim. Joshua gathered some men while Moses stood on top of the hill with the Lord's staff along with his brother, Aaron, and friend, Hur. Moses held the staff over the men fighting below. "While Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, but whenever he put his hand down, Amalek prevailed."  So Aaron and Hur helped by supporting Moses' arms so the staff wouldn't lower, and Joshua and his men defeated the Amalekites.   In Exodus 17:15-16, Scripture reads, "And Moses built an altar and named it, The Lord Is My Banner." He said, "Indeed, my hand is lifted up toward the Lord's throne." Moses knew that God was the one who ensured their victory and he wanted to make sure everyone else did too. Jehovah Nissi was the source of this victory, while using Moses, Joshua, Aaron, Hur and the staff. Elsewhere in the Bible His "banner" is an illustration of His protection and salvation.  Just as banners and flags today identify nations and groups and those who belong to them, God's banner identifies those who belong to Him.  Here are a few illustrations: Psalm 60:4, "You have raised a banner to . . . save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered." Psalm 20:5 "We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners!" Isaiah 11:10,12, Speaking of the Messiah who was to come, Isaiah prophesied, "In that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, who shall stand as a banner to the people...He will set up a banner for the nations."   What significance does this divine name, Jehovah Nissi, have for Christ-followers?  First, it points to how God does not leave us to fight our battles in our own strength.  I'm often praying to God to fight my battles for me, because so often, we simply have no control.  But God does.  Second, I think we learn to remember and celebrate the way God has led us and the victories He has provided. Moses built an altar.  I don't think we need to build something physical but we do need to remember what God has done for us.  Remembering God's faithfulness in the past builds our own faith and trust in the present. Take a moment and pray to Jehovah Nissi.  What battles do you need God to fight for you right now?  What battles has He fought for you the past?  Have you celebrated those victories? Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Hallowed Be Your Name Learning to Pray with Wonder, Confidence, and Peace Jesus does something deeply intentional in the Lord's Prayer. Before He teaches His followers to ask God for anything, He teaches them to remember who God is. Prayer is not meant to begin with panic, requests, or anxiety—it begins with worship. Coleton explains that when Jesus says, “Hallowed be Your name,” He is teaching us to fill our minds and hearts with the greatness, faithfulness, and power of God before we ever bring Him our needs. This message is an invitation to become people who truly pray—not mechanically, not cautiously, but with boldness, awe, confidence, and trust. “Our Father in Heaven” — Remember Who You're Talking To Matthew 6:9–13 “This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name…'” Coleton begins by reminding the church why this prayer series matters so much to him personally. About ten years ago, he began pursuing a deeper prayer life because he wanted prayer to become more than a religious duty—he wanted to love it. During that journey, one quote changed the way he viewed prayer forever. Quote “Satan dreads nothing but prayer. His one concern is to keep the saints from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, he mocks our wisdom, but he trembles when we pray.” — Samuel Chadwick That quote helped Coleton realize why prayer often feels difficult. The enemy is not intimidated by human strength, intelligence, or activity. He trembles at the power of God accessed through prayer. Prayer matters because God moves through it. Last week's focus in the series was the phrase “Our Father in heaven.” Jesus first teaches us that prayer begins by remembering who we are talking to: not a distant force, but a loving Father who welcomes His children. Now Jesus takes us one step further. “Hallowed Be Your Name” — Prayer Begins with Worship Coleton explains that “hallowed” means to treat God's name as holy, weighty, glorious, and worthy of worship. Quote “‘Hallowed be your name' means ‘let [your name] be regarded as holy.' It is not so much a petition as an act of worship; the speaker, by his words, exalts the holiness of God.” — Tremper Longman III Quote “Hallowing is an active kind of praying—honoring, adoring, and naming the greatness of God. While ‘Our Father' is a reminder of God's intimacy; ‘hallowed' is a reminder of His incomprehensible greatness.” — Tyler Staton Coleton explains that hallowing God's name looks like: Saying what is true about God Remembering what He has done Repeating what He has promised Declaring what is possible with Him This kind of prayer fills the heart with worship before requests are ever made. The Psalms Show Us What Hallowing Looks Like Psalm 44 — Remembering God's Power Scripture “With your hand you drove out the nations and planted our ancestors… it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face…” — Psalm 44:2–3 The psalmist spends enormous time recounting God's past faithfulness. He talks about victories God gave, enemies God defeated, and promises God fulfilled. Coleton points out something fascinating: much of this prayer is telling God things He already knows. Why? Not because God needs reminding—but because we do. We forget who He is. We forget what He has done. We forget His power, His promises, and His faithfulness. Hallowing God's name recenters the soul. 1. Hallowing His Name Expands Our Vision of What Is Possible One of the main effects of worshipful prayer is that it stretches our faith. Quote “The wonderful thing about praying is that you leave a world of not being able to do something and enter into God's realm where everything is possible. He specializes in the impossible.” — Corrie ten Boom Coleton says many Christians pray extremely safe prayers: “Keep them safe.” “Help them have a good day.” “Bless this meal.” Those prayers are not wrong—but if we truly believe we are speaking to the God of the impossible, why do we so rarely ask Him for impossible things? Hallowing His name enlarges our imagination for what God can do. Hezekiah's Prayer — Worship Before Deliverance Scripture 2 Kings 19:14–19 King Hezekiah is surrounded by an enormous Assyrian army. Humanly speaking, defeat seems certain. But notice how he prays: “Lord, the God of Israel… you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth…” Before asking for rescue, Hezekiah hallows God's name. He reminds himself that Assyria may be powerful, but God rules every kingdom on earth. Only after worship does he ask for deliverance. Coleton explains that worship gave Hezekiah courage to pray boldly in an impossible situation. The Apostles in Acts 4 — Worship Produces Boldness Scripture Acts 4:24–30 After Peter and John are arrested and threatened, the disciples gather to pray. What is shocking is what they don't pray for. They do not pray for safety. They do not pray for persecution to stop. Instead they pray: “Enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders…” Why? Because they began by hallowing God's name. They remembered that God is sovereign, powerful, and able to use evil for good. Worship gave them courage. Even Jesus Prayed This Way Scripture Mark 14:36 “Abba, Father… everything is possible for you.” In Gethsemane, Jesus Himself begins by declaring what is true about the Father: everything is possible for Him. Coleton emphasizes that hallowing God's name even led Jesus to pray honestly and boldly. Hallowing Changes the Way We Pray Coleton gives vivid examples of what this can look like in everyday life. Instead of praying weak, hopeless prayers, we pray with remembrance: “You are the God who split the Red Sea—make a way for me.” “You heard Hannah's prayer after years of waiting—hear mine too.” “You turned Saul into Paul—change this person's heart.” “You used evil for Joseph's good—redeem this painful situation.” Hallowing God's name teaches us to pray according to God's character and history. Asking Big Things Honors God Quote “Our God is so good, gracious, and powerful that we can never ask or assume too much of him. We don't offend Him with large requests; we offend Him with small ones!” — J.D. Greear Coleton shares the story of Alexander the Great generously granting a soldier's extravagant request because the request honored both his wealth and generosity. In the same way, bold prayer honors God because it assumes He is both powerful and good. 2. Hallowing His Name Produces Peace, Rest, and Confidence Hallowing God's name does not only increase boldness—it also calms fear. Psalm 46 — Worship Leads to Fearlessness Scripture “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” — Psalm 46:1 Then comes the result: “Therefore we will not fear…” — Psalm 46:2 The psalmist's peace flows from remembering who God is. Coleton explains that worship anchors the soul in unstable moments. Psalm 23 — David's Confidence Came from God's Character Scripture “The Lord is my shepherd…” Outcome: “I lack nothing.” Scripture “You are with me…” Outcome: “I will fear no evil.” David's peace was connected to his remembrance of God's presence and care. Coleton and Rainey's Story of Fear and Faith Coleton shares a deeply personal moment when someone falsely accused him and tried to get him fired. Sitting in the car devastated, he and Rainey began hallowing God's name together. They remembered: God sustaining their long-distance relationship God healing their relationship during difficult seasons God opening ministry doors unexpectedly God never once failing them As they remembered God's faithfulness, peace slowly replaced fear. Their conclusion became: “If God has been faithful before, He will be faithful again.” And God ultimately took care of them. Hallowing God's Name in Real Life Coleton gives practical examples of how worship reshapes fear: When Facing Enemies God used Saul's attacks to prepare David for kingship. No enemy can stop God's plan. When Struggling with Sin God promises grace greater than our failures. Scripture “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” When Worried About Provision Jesus said the Father cares for birds and flowers—and values His children far more. When Life Feels Chaotic God still reigns over nations and history. When Facing Death Jesus transformed death from ultimate loss into the doorway to eternal life. Hallowing His name teaches believers to trust God in every circumstance. Jesus Prepares Us Before We Ask Coleton points out something powerful in the Lord's Prayer: Jesus has not told us to ask for anything yet. Before requests come: We remember He is Father. We remember He is holy. We remember His power. We remember His faithfulness. Only then are we prepared to pray boldly and trustingly. Practical Ways to Practice Hallowing His Name 1. Begin Prayer with Worship Coleton encourages using worship music to shape the heart before praying. Songs mentioned: “Good Plans” — Red Rocks Worship “Same God” — Elevation Worship “Won't Stop Now” — Elevation Worship “Do It Again” — Elevation Worship “I Believe” — Charity Gayle “The Truth” — Megan Woods “Don't Fight Alone” — Jon Reddick 2. Remember God's Promises in Scripture The Bible teaches us what God has done before so we can trust what He will do again. Coleton emphasizes that Scripture fuels confident prayer. 3. Remember God's Faithfulness in Your Own Life Reflect on: Ways God provided Times He protected Seasons He healed Moments He restored Remembering past faithfulness strengthens present trust. 4. Practice Gratitude Coleton references One Thousand Gifts and how gratitude journals helped cultivate trust in God's faithfulness. The more we notice God's goodness, the easier it becomes to trust Him for impossible things. Closing Challenge Quote “Powerful prayer begins with adoration.” — Tyler Staton The heart of this sermon is simple but transformative: Jesus wants His people to pray with power. And powerful prayer begins by hallowing the name of God—remembering who He is, what He has done, and what is still possible with Him. Discipleship Group Questions Why do you think Jesus teaches us to worship before asking for things in prayer? How could that reshape your prayer life? What are some “safe prayers” you tend to pray? What impossible or faith-filled prayers might God be inviting you to begin praying? Which story or example from this sermon encouraged you the most personally, and why? Where have you seen God's faithfulness in your own past? How can remembering those moments strengthen your trust in your current season? What practical step can you take this week to begin “hallowing His name” more intentionally in prayer? Culture of Gospel Share this with someone in your life who doesn't know Jesus Christianity is not about pretending to be strong—it's about discovering that there is a God so loving, powerful, and faithful that you can bring Him your impossible situations and your deepest fears. Jesus teaches us that prayer is not talking into the dark, but speaking to a Father who hears, cares, and still changes lives today.  

Have you ever walked through something hard and wondered, “Where is God in this?”In this honest and relatable message from The Generosity of God series, James Chapman explores how easy it is to forget what God has already done, especially when life gets tough. Through the story of the Israelites, he highlights a tension we all feel: fear can quickly drown out faith, even after we've seen God come through before.But this message isn't about guilt, it's about perspective. God is still providing, still moving, still present… even when we can't see it. And sometimes, remembering is the key to trusting again.With practical ways to build reminders into everyday life and a powerful personal story of finding hope in what others might call a limitation, this message speaks right into real life.If you're in a season where it's hard to see God's goodness, this is for you.Take a moment to listen, reflect, and remember—you might not see the full picture yet, but God hasn't stopped working.

Today’s Bible Verse: “We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done.” — Psalm 78:4 (NIV) Psalm 78:4 emphasizes the responsibility and privilege of sharing God’s faithfulness with the next generation. Faith was never meant to be kept private—it’s meant to be told, remembered, and passed on. The stories of what God has done become anchors for those who come after us.

Psalm 137: Trusting God in Suffering and Exile Series: Walking Through the Psalms Host: Dave Jenkins Date: April 3, 2026 Show Summary Psalm 137 is one of the most emotionally weighty passages in Scripture. It brings us into the grief of exile, the pain of loss, and the struggle of trusting God when life feels overwhelming. In this episode of Walking Through the Psalms, Dave Jenkins explains how Psalm 137 teaches believers to respond to suffering, injustice, and sorrow while still holding fast to the covenant faithfulness of God. This psalm reminds us that faith and sorrow can coexist. Even when worship feels difficult and God feels distant, the Lord has not changed. Believers are called to remember God's promises, bring their pain honestly before Him, and trust His perfect justice rather than taking vengeance into their own hands. This episode also carefully addresses the difficult ending of Psalm 137, showing that these verses are not a call for personal revenge but a cry for divine justice. Ultimately, Psalm 137 points us forward to Jesus Christ, who entered into our suffering, endured rejection and injustice, and secured redemption through His death and resurrection. What does Psalm 137 teach? Psalm 137 teaches that believers can trust God in suffering and exile by remembering His promises, bringing their pain honestly to Him, and resting in His justice and faithfulness.

Nehemiah chapter 9 is a powerful corporate prayer of confession and remembrance. The people gather to fast, humble themselves, and recount God's goodness—from creation to deliverance, provision, and mercy—while also acknowledging their repeated disobedience. Despite their failures, they recognize that God has been righteous, patient, and compassionate throughout their history. This chapter shows that true repentance involves both honest confession and remembering God's faithfulness. When we reflect on all God has done, it leads us back to humility, gratitude, and renewed commitment.

Psalm 135: Why the Lord Alone Deserves Praise By Dave Jenkins Show: Servants of Grace PodcastSeries: Walking with the PsalmsDate: March 20, 2026 Show Summary In this episode of the Servants of Grace Podcast, Dave Jenkins continues the Walking with the Psalms series by teaching through Psalm 135. This psalm calls the people of God to praise the Lord for His goodness, His sovereign power, His mighty acts of redemption, and His covenant faithfulness. Psalm 135 reminds us that true worship flows from remembering who God is and what He has done, while also warning us against the spiritual danger of idolatry. Above all, this psalm points us forward to the greater redemption accomplished by Jesus Christ. Audio Player Video Player Episode Notes Psalm 135 serves as a bridge between temple worship and covenant remembrance. The Lord alone deserves praise because He is good, sovereign, faithful, and mighty to save. God's sovereignty over creation and history gives believers confidence in every season of life. Remembering God's redeeming works fuels worship and steadies the hearts of His people. Idols are powerless, lifeless, and unable to save, but the Lord is the living God who speaks, acts, and redeems. Psalm 135 points beyond Israel's redemption to the greater redemption found in Jesus Christ.

Some moments in life shake us to our core. News arrives that changes everything, and suddenly the future we imagined feels uncertain or even impossible. In those moments, it can feel like the ground beneath our feet is shifting, leaving us wondering how we will keep moving forward. The Bible reminds us that God’s faithfulness does not depend on stable circumstances. In 1 Samuel 7:12, the prophet Samuel set up a stone and named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the LORD has helped us.” That stone served as a memorial—a visible reminder of God’s faithfulness through difficult seasons. When the future feels overwhelming, Scripture invites us to look backward before looking forward. Reflecting on how God has already carried us through hardship strengthens our faith for whatever lies ahead. The challenges may have felt unbearable at the time, yet God sustained us through each one. Life rarely unfolds with complete certainty. Jesus Himself told His followers that trouble would come. But He also promised something greater: that He has overcome the world. God’s faithfulness is not limited to easy seasons. He remains present in the moments when life feels most fragile and uncertain. Even when circumstances are unstable, His character remains unchanging. When fear about the future begins to rise, remembering God’s past faithfulness can steady our hearts. Every difficult season you have survived is evidence that God has been with you. Each moment of provision, strength, and comfort becomes part of your own “Ebenezer”—a reminder that God has helped you this far. And the God who has carried you to this point will continue to walk with you, no matter what comes next. Main Takeaways Difficult circumstances can make the future feel overwhelming and unstable. Samuel’s Ebenezer stone reminds us to remember God’s past faithfulness. Reflecting on God’s help in previous struggles strengthens our trust today. God’s character remains steady even when circumstances are uncertain. Remembering God’s faithfulness can anchor us when fear about the future arises. Today’s Bible Verse "Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, 'Thus far the LORD has helped us.'" - 1 Samuel 7:12 Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “Lord, remind me of Your faithfulness in the past so I can trust You with the future.” Listen to the full prayer here.

Surrender | Commitment Sunday | All In In this episode, we explore what it means to surrender control and step fully into God's plan. Looking at Numbers 13 and 14, we see how fear can shape our decisions and how remembering God's faithfulness changes everything. This conversation will encourage you to trust God's provision, respond with courage, and choose obedience in moments that matter most. Key Insights: • Faith decisions often happen when fear is still present. Waiting for fear to disappear may keep you from moving forward. • Remembering God's past faithfulness builds confidence for present challenges. • Trusting God's provision requires releasing control and stepping into obedience. • Spiritual growth happens when we respond to God's calling rather than retreat from uncertainty. • Commitment to God's purposes positions us to impact future generations.

Welcome to Christ's Church at Butler's Sunday service, March 15th, 2026. This live stream will include a time of praise and worship, communion, and a message from youth pastor, Christian Swafford. Contact us at (260)868-6924, or online at CCAB4Him.com. We'd love to connect with you!

In this sermon by Pastor Snook from Titus 3:4–8, we are reminded as believers to continually remember two truths: who we once were - and who God is.Paul highlights God's transforming attributes—His love, mercy, and grace. God's love is most clearly seen in the cross, where He acted to save sinners. Salvation is not earned by human effort but given through His mercy, described as God's compassion toward the miserable. Through grace, believers are justified in Christ; what the Law could not accomplish, Christ fulfilled. Because of these gifts, Christians become heirs of God, receiving undeserved favor like Mephibosheth welcomed to David's table.Remembering God's character should shape how believers live. Sound doctrine should produce gratitude that results in good works. Christians are called to remain faithful in dark seasons of suffering by leaning into the Shepherd, and in delayed seasons of waiting by trusting God's timing. Ultimately, remembering who God is transforms hardship into hope and motivates a life that reflects His glory.

“Oh no!” That was my response upon opening a beehive and discovering the colony had suddenly died. It had been a thriving hive with lots of honey. I’d carefully maintained it throughout a mild winter and anticipated an early harvest. But a cold snap in the warm weather led to collapse. I checked with local experts. “Many beekeepers lost hives this time,” they reassured me. Mild winters present challenges for bees, even healthy hives. Bees fan their wings to maintain warmth in the hive in winter, but when weather warms briefly, they exhaust themselves seeking even more food. If temperatures drop quickly, they don’t have strength to keep warm. Their “distraction” leads to destruction. Even good things can become dangers when they turn us from what matters most. Moses cautioned God’s people about this after they left Egypt and before they entered the land God was about to give them—a land with “houses filled with all kinds of good things” that they “did not provide” (Deuteronomy 6:11). “When you eat and are satisfied,” Moses warned, “be careful that you do not forget the Lord” (vv. 11–12). Remembering God in our blessings helps us because He is the source of “every good and perfect gift ” (James 1:17). When we humbly respond to His goodness by loving Him with heart, soul, and strength (Deuteronomy 6:5), we find in Him the best blessing of all.

True worship is our response to God's greatest acts—praise and obedience flowing from a heart of deferential respect (proskuneo: bowing in submission, “not my will but Yours”). In this message, Pastor Tim unpacks Luke 24, where the disciples move from fear and doubt to joy and amazement at Jesus' resurrection appearance, blessing, and ascension—leading to continual temple praise. Remembering God's acts of grace rewires us positively (Post Blessing Relief Order), just as life-changing encounters with Jesus transform lives forever. No worship happens without remembrance; we respond by praising, obeying, and surrendering fully to the One who acts first.We love because He first loved us.

What do you do when you're in “flood season”, when life feels fast, heavy, and uncertain?In this conversation, Pastor Chris Kouba and Josh Thomas dig into Joshua 4 and the powerful moment when God tells Israel to build memorials after crossing the Jordan River—one on the riverbank and one set in the river. Why two? Because we forget. And when we forget where we've been, we lose confidence about where we're going.They talk about practical ways to remember and recount God's faithfulness like journaling, physical reminders, and intentionally telling the “God stories” to your kids, your wife, your friends, and the people you lead.

For our last service in the mall, Pastor Alex invited us to hear what God cares about most, people. We get to hear how the Lord has used Oceans the past several years to impact and change people's lives. We eagerly look forward to what God has in store for us in this next season. We know He is purposeful, has equipped us, and goes before us. We pray these testimonies bless you, encourage you, and inspire you into the next season.

In Mark 7, Mark shows us the Pharisees' hypocrisy, the bold audacity of a gentile woman, and the healing of a deaf and mute man. We'll examine traditions, knowing God is doing something even if it isn't what we hoped, and choosing to see God's goodness every day.

Dealing with Depression: Finding Hope and Victory in the God of All Comfort    Depression is a profound heaviness of soul that the Scriptures describe with raw honesty. The Bible does not employ our modern clinical term, but it portrays the experience vividly: the spirit overwhelmed, the heart cast down, the bones troubled, the soul in despair, even the wish that life would end. Yet the same Word that records this darkness repeatedly declares that God draws near to the brokenhearted, that He is the lifter of the head, that His comfort abounds in affliction, and that joy comes in the morning. Throughout Scripture we see God's choicest servants pass through seasons of deep discouragement. Their stories are recorded not to magnify their weakness but to display God's faithfulness in the lowest places. By examining these lives, and by listening carefully to the voice of God in His Word, we discover divine principles for enduring and overcoming depression from a thoroughly biblical standpoint. I. Elijah: Despair After Victory The prophet Elijah stands as one of the clearest examples. In 1 Kings 18 he experienced one of the greatest public triumphs in redemptive history—fire falling from heaven on Mount Carmel, the prophets of Baal defeated, the people confessing that the Lord is God, and rain ending a three-and-a-half-year drought. Yet in chapter 19, a single threat from Jezebel sends him fleeing in fear and exhaustion. Hear the Word of the Lord in 1 Kings 19:3-4 (KJV): “And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there. But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.” Elijah, the man who had just called down fire, now prays for death. He feels his labor has been in vain, that he is no better than his fathers, that everything is “enough.” This is the language of depression: exhaustion, hopelessness, isolation, and suicidal ideation. But observe God's tender response. Verses 5-8: “And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat. And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again. And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee. And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.” God does not begin with rebuke. He begins with physical care—sleep, food, water—twice. The angel acknowledges the reality of Elijah's limitation: “the journey is too great for thee.” God remembers that we are dust (Psalm 103:14). When Elijah reaches Horeb, he repeats his complaint in verses 9-10: “And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.” Depression distorts perspective. Elijah believes he is utterly alone. God gently corrects him in verse 18: “Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.” Then God gives Elijah new work and a successor. God meets Elijah in his depression with physical provision, truthful perspective, renewed purpose, and the quiet whisper of His presence (verses 11-13). II. Job: Prolonged Suffering and Overwhelming Grief Few stories portray sustained depression more graphically than Job's. A righteous man suddenly stripped of wealth, children, and health, Job sits in ashes, scraping his sores, wishing he had never been born. Job 3:1-3, 11-13, 20-26 (KJV): “After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. And Job spake, and said, Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived… Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck? For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest… Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave? Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; but trouble cometh.” Job's anguish is physical, emotional, and spiritual. He cannot eat without sighing; anxiety and dread consume him. His friends' misguided counsel only deepens the wound. Yet through forty-two chapters God allows Job to pour out every complaint. God does not silence him. Finally, in chapters 38–41, the Lord speaks—not with easy answers, but with a revelation of His sovereign wisdom and power. Job's response in 42:5-6: “I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.” Seeing God afresh brings repentance, humility, and eventual restoration. Job's depression lifts not when circumstances immediately improve, but when he encounters the majesty and goodness of God in a deeper way. III. David: The Psalms of the Cast-Down Soul No biblical figure gives us more transparent language for depression than David. The Psalms are filled with his cries from the depths. Psalm 42:1-11 (KJV): “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.” Notice David's pattern: honest lament (“my tears have been my meat,” “all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me”), self-exhortation (“Why art thou cast down, O my soul? … hope thou in God”), remembrance of God's past faithfulness, and confident expectation of future praise. Psalm 43 continues the same theme, ending with the identical refrain. Psalm 77 shows Asaph following the same path—remembering God's mighty deeds until hope revives. Psalm 88 is perhaps the darkest psalm, ending without explicit resolution on earth, yet still addressed to “LORD God of my salvation.” Even unresolved sorrow is brought to God. IV. Jeremiah: The Weeping Prophet Jeremiah's ministry spanned decades of rejection and judgment upon Judah. He is called “the weeping prophet” for good reason. Lamentations 3:1-20 (selected verses, KJV): “I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light… He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy. Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer… He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood… And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity. And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD: Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.” Jeremiah feels God has become his enemy, that prayer is blocked, that hope has perished. Yet in the very center of Lamentations comes one of the most hope-filled passages in Scripture, verses 21-26: “This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.” Jeremiah preaches to himself the truth of God's character. Remembering God's steadfast love and faithfulness becomes the turning point. V. Other Examples: Moses, Hannah, Jonah, Paul Moses, burdened with leading a complaining people, cries in Numbers 11:11-15 (KJV): “And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me? … I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me. And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.” God responds by sharing the burden with seventy elders and providing meat—practical help and companionship. Hannah, barren and provoked, is “in bitterness of soul” (1 Samuel 1:10). She pours out her soul before the Lord, and though her circumstances do not change immediately, “her countenance was no more sad” (1:18) after entrusting her grief to God. Jonah, angry at God's mercy to Nineveh, prays in Jonah 4:3 (KJV): “Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.” God patiently teaches him through a plant, a worm, and a wind. Even the apostle Paul knew despair. In 2 Corinthians 1:8-10 (KJV): “For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us.” Paul's despair drove him deeper into dependence upon the God who raises the dead. VI. The Lord Jesus: Sorrow Without Sin Our Savior Himself entered into sorrow. In Gethsemane, Matthew 26:38 (KJV): “Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.” He sweat as it were great drops of blood (Luke 22:44). Yet He submitted: “not my will, but thine, be done.” Hebrews 5:7 speaks of His “strong crying and tears.” Christ identifies with our weakness and intercedes for us as One touched with the feeling of our infirmities (Hebrews 4:15). VII. God's Promises of Comfort and Deliverance The Scriptures abound with assurances: Psalm 34:17-19 (KJV): “The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.” Isaiah 41:10 (KJV): “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (KJV): “Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.” Psalm 30:5 (KJV): “For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” VIII. How Believers Today Can Deal with Depression and Gain Victory from a Biblical Standpoint The examples and promises above yield clear, scriptural pathways for fighting depression today: Bring every feeling honestly before God. The Psalms model unfiltered lament. Do not hide your despair; pour it out. God invites it and can handle it. Preach truth to yourself. Like David and Jeremiah, recall God's character, past faithfulness, and unchanging promises. Speak Scripture aloud when feelings contradict truth. Care for the body God gave you. Elijah's story reminds us that exhaustion, hunger, and isolation exacerbate depression. Sleep, nourishment, exercise, and medical care when needed are acts of stewardship, not lack of faith. Seek godly community. Elijah felt alone, but was not. Isolation feeds depression; fellowship counters it. Confess faults, bear burdens, receive prayer (James 5:16; Galatians 6:2). Fix your eyes on Christ. He endured the cross for the joy set before Him (Hebrews 12:2). Our light affliction works an eternal weight of glory (2 Corinthians 4:17-18). The gospel assures us that nothing can separate us from God's love (Romans 8:38-39). Wait upon the Lord with hope. Seasons of darkness do not last forever. “They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31). Victory is not always immediate deliverance from the feeling of depression, but it is certain triumph through union with Christ. Even if the night lingers, the Morning Star has risen in our hearts (2 Peter 1:19). One day He will wipe away every tear (Revelation 21:4). Until then, we walk by faith, anchored in the God who has never forsaken His own. The same God who sustained Elijah under the juniper tree, lifted Job from the ash heap, turned David's mourning into dancing, and carried Jeremiah through the furnace is your God. He is faithful. Hope in Him, and you shall yet praise Him, who is the health of your countenance and your God.

Laughter after longing is more than a mood; it's a marker of grace. We open Psalm 126 and watch a people who sowed in tears come home with shouts of joy, then ask what it looks like to live that pattern now: thank what God has done, savor His gifts without suspicion, and share the story so others can see the Giver clearly. From there we get practical—remembrance as obedience, not nostalgia—drawing on Joshua's stones to shape simple habits that keep our hearts soft and our witness strong.I walk through the year's living “stones”: hearts ignited by Scripture, a wave of baptisms spanning quiet lifelong faith to fresh conversions, and a growing culture of post‑service prayer that carries both burdens and celebrations. Among us, ordinary devotion has multiplied—kids learning to pray, students leading younger peers in the Word, and a foster and adoption ministry that mobilized meals, cars, and hands‑on care without fanfare. It's the Acts 2 way: teaching, fellowship, shared meals, and prayer producing surprising fruit over time.Beyond our walls, generosity helped encourage pastors abroad, deliver eye care alongside the gospel to tens of thousands, and fuel church planting across the U.S. and around the world. Not to boast in output, but to celebrate that God weaves ordinary faithfulness into extraordinary reach. The final turn lands close to home: after naming how God met our desires, we ask how we might give Him one of His. Prayer, presence, service, witness—choose one and build with us on this playground under construction until Christ returns.

David Mathis | Does seeking joy in God ruin our love for others? Jesus meant what he said: Remembering God's radical reward frees us to serve those in need.

To “bless the Lord” is more than praise—it’s a posture of dependence, trust, and devotion. In our daily prayer and devotional, we ponder Psalm 63, where David declares he will bless God all his days. He opens his hands, lifts his voice, remembers God’s faithfulness, sings praise, and trusts wholeheartedly—even in adversity. Blessing God begins with acknowledging our need for Him: lifting open hands in surrender, bringing our weaknesses, and asking for His help. It continues by remembering and recounting His goodness—His provision, His creativity, His unchanging character. Every moment of awe, gratitude, worship, and trust is part of blessing Him. David also models commitment in difficulty. Though threatened by enemies, he remains secure in God’s justice and faithfulness. To bless the Lord is to trust Him when we don’t understand and to live as a testimony to His steadfast love—every day, in all circumstances. Today's Bible Reading: “I will bless you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer.”— Psalm 63:4 Key Takeaways Blessing God is both worship and reliance—lifting hands, confessing need, and giving Him praise. Remembering God’s past faithfulness helps fuel our trust in the present. True blessing continues even amid trials, when trust must be chosen over fear. A life that blesses God acknowledges His sovereignty, expresses gratitude, and pursues obedience. Let’s Pray Together God, I desire to bless You for as long as I live. I come with open hands, acknowledging I am nothing apart from You. Help me remember You always—invite You into each moment, cling to Your promises, and trust You wholeheartedly. May my life point others to Your glory. Amen.

When the seasons shift—especially from the vibrancy of summer to the stillness of fall—it can remind us of life’s own changes: loss, renewal, and waiting. In our daily prayer and devotional, Alicia Searl beautifully points us back to a truth we can depend on no matter what season we’re in: God is always faithful. We often wrestle with questions like, “What does it mean that God is faithful?” or “Am I faithful enough to Him?” But Scripture makes it clear that God’s faithfulness is not dependent on our performance—it’s rooted in His perfect, unchanging character. From Genesis to Revelation, His Word reveals that He never leaves, never breaks His promises, and never wavers in His love for His people. When life feels uncertain, we can look back at the way God has carried His people—Israel delivered from Egypt, the fulfillment of His promises through Jesus, and His ongoing presence through the Holy Spirit. His faithfulness extends from generation to generation (Psalm 100:5). Just as He sustained His people in the past, He will sustain us now. Fall invites us to slow down and reflect—to notice God’s fingerprints in both the falling leaves and the steadfast truth that He never changes. In this season, may we find comfort in His promises and gratitude for His unwavering faithfulness. Today's Bible Reading "Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments." – Deuteronomy 7:9 Key Takeaways God’s faithfulness is a cornerstone of His character—He cannot be anything but faithful. His covenant love continues through generations, no matter our changing circumstances. Remembering God’s past faithfulness strengthens our trust in His future promises. Every season, including the difficult ones, is a reminder of His unbroken presence and care. Let’s Pray Together O God, thank You for being faithful in every season. When my heart grows weary or doubts arise, remind me of Your steadfast love and promises. Help me to see Your hand at work, even when I can’t understand the path ahead. Reveal Your faithfulness to me in new ways this fall, and teach me to rest in the peace of knowing that You never fail. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
