  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: Mighty God

    “The condition for a miracle is difficulty, however the condition for a great miracle is not difficulty, but impossibility.” Angus Buchan Today, we look at our mighty God. Sometimes, in the day to day, we forget what a mighty God we have. Our Jesus, our Savior, our God is the Creator of our world and sovereign over all. Our…

  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: Counselor

    My sister-in-law gave me a verse jar awhile back with different colors of verses representing various struggles. This is a blessing to have as it helps me counsel my heart as life happens. It makes me think about Jesus and what victory and power we have in Him. We are walking through Isaiah 9:6 this…

  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: Wonderful

    Who is Jesus? It was prophesied in Isaiah that He would come. Isaiah went on to describe Him. He is wonderful. Isaiah 9:6 “6  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: And the government shall be upon his shoulder: And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty…

  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: Adore Him

    What is your favorite carol? I mentioned two of my favorites Sunday. In this season, we focus on adoring our Savior, the one who died that we may live. I have been going through a Bible Study from Not Consumed called “Adoration at the Manger.” It is a blessing as it goes through carols and…

  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: Jesus, Man of Sorrows

    Jesus, we celebrate Jesus’ coming to earth throughout this month. This morning, I was reading Isaiah 53 which tells all about our Savior years before he was born. This passage is rich. We can’t do it justice in one short devotional, but one phrase stood out to me again, the phrase “Man of Sorrows.” Our…

  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: Seek Him

    This morning, as I was sitting down for my devotions and asking God to speak to me, my mind was going in a million directions. “You are being a Martha.” (Luke 10:38-42) Oops. There is much to do. My strength feels insufficient, my resources inadequate. How will I do what is needed? How will it…
