A Lesson From Eagles (Lent) - Saturday, March 10
He wants us to get out of our nests, out of our comfort zones to spread our wings. Sometimes, we’re afraid to do so, because we fear failing or not getting it just right.
It all comes down to trust. As the baby eaglet trusted its parents to keep him from hitting the ground, how much more should we trust in our Heavenly Father who loves us so much and is always there to scoop us up in His hands when we stumble or fall? Our Creator wants us to trust him. His word teaches us to trust him, and His word never returns void.
Our Father (Lent) - Monday, March 5
Even Jesus, who knew His Father completely, felt abandoned and hurt. As he hung dying for the sins of the world, he cried out to His Father asking why he had been forsaken.
But today, the child, struggling to find their identity, can experience love from Jesus by picking up a child’s book and reading the Easter Story.
Hope of a Child (Lent) - Thursday, March 1
Without Jesus in our lives, we wouldn’t experience hope—hope that does not disappoint. Jesus Christ redeemed us from sin and death through His sacrifice for us, and because of His love we now have the hope that so many Native people long for. All they need is the trusting heart of a child.
Lord Increase Our Faith (Lent) - Monday, February 26
How many times is our faith put to the test? Whether it’s because we lack trust or are fearful and lose hope as we look for the worst in every situation, our lack of faith can cripple us until we are unable to move forward. We can even get to the point that we may think “even God wouldn’t (or couldn’t) help us."
Silent Hero (Advent) - Friday, December 22
“Who is going to take my place when I am gone? Who will be praying for our people?”
Listen! Or Your Tongue Will Make You Deaf (Advent) - Tuesday, December 19
Jesus came into this world to bring hope, healing, and to set the captives free. He is the Word, and His Word is life sustaining forever and ever.
Let's Refocus (Advent) - Saturday, December 16
Almost immediately, the tears of sadness were replaced with tears of happiness. People started realizing that this time of year was about each and every one of them as individuals, that God loves them, and that He is with them. As people refocused on Jesus and took their eyes off of all the things that man has created for this time of year, they finally began to see why we celebrate the birth of God’s Son, Jesus.
