43 Again and again he rescued them,
but they chose to rebel against him,
and they were finally destroyed by their sin.
44 Even so, he pitied them in their distress

to treat them with kindness.
Psalm 106: 43-46 NLT
Again and again, we wake up with new mercies. Again and again, we sin. No matter how hard we may try, it’s in our nature. Sin is what we’re predisposed to, yet it doesn’t have to have the final say.
God’s love is unfailing.
Today, I want to encourage you to cry out! Call out your sins to God. You will see that God loves you again and again. The Lord hears when you cry out in the midst of your struggle. He is aware of each and every one of your sins and He responds with wisdom and mercy. Don’t despise the discipline because he does it with grace and unfailing love.

The passage illustrates the importance of being a beacon of light in dim, dark places, as guided by Luke 11:33-36.

The Beatitudes 20 And He raised His eyes toward His disciples and began saying, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. 22 Blessed are you when the people hate you, and when they exclude you, and insult you, and scorn your
I have been lost a time or two. Usually, because I got distracted and wandered off the intended path. Whatever sparked my interest was enough to cause me to lose sight of my intended destination. In this passage, we find Jesus as a child, so focused on His Father’s business that he wanders off from his parents. In my own life, I’ve found that I’m not prone to wander towards my father’s business….but away from it.
If you or someone close to you is in need, we would be honored to lift you up in prayer. We believe in the power of prayer to bring peace, comfort, and reassurance during times of hardship. Our community is ready to join together and pray as we trust in God’s love and unending grace.
