The Land of Hope
Scripture “…I’ve pitched my tent in the land of hope…” (Acts 2:26, Message) Word Where have you pitched your tent today? In other words, what are you expecting to happen in your life this year?

Get Ready
Scripture “Get ready! This is the day the Lord will give you victory…!” (Judges 4:14, NLT) Word It’s easy to get stuck in a rut and go into another year coasting on auto-pilot, expecting the same thing: same problems, same struggles and the same income. But God is a God of increase. He wants us […]
Pursue Loyalty
Scripture “He who pursues righteousness and loyalty finds life…” (Proverbs 21:21, NASB) Word Have you ever noticed that righteousness and loyalty go together?

Bring Out the Best
Scripture “…Love is kind…” (1 Corinthians 13:4, NIV) Word You may have heard this verse many times before, but one translation says that “love looks for a way to be constructive.” In other words, kindness isn’t just about being nice; it’s looking for ways to improve someone else’s life. It’s bringing out the best in […]
The Greatest Thing
Scripture “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love” (1 Corinthians 13:13, NIV) Word Spiritual maturity isn’t measured by how long you’ve been a Christian, how much you know, or how often you go to church. Spiritual maturity is measured by the way you treat other people. […]

The Only Thing That Counts
Scripture “The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love” (Galatians 5:6B, NIV) Word So often, it’s easy to get caught up in our to-do lists of life. You might even have a spiritual checklist in your mind of all the things you think you need to do in order to please God. […]
Equipped by Faith
Scripture “Every Scripture is God-breathed…so that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16–17, AMP) Word God has equipped you with everything you need to fulfill your destiny through His Word. The Scripture tells us that as believers in Jesus Christ, we […]
Live Skillfully
Scripture “Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve before kings…” (Proverbs 22:29, NIV) Word Too often, it’s easy to get stuck in a rut, doing the same thing the same way over and over every day. But if we are going to live at our absolute best, we should constantly […]
