Over the last two months of self-distancing and home quarantine, we’ve never had more time on our hands. My family and I have certainly enjoyed this extra time together. Aside from the fact that I have watched more princess and super hero movies than most people have seen in a lifetime, I’d say things are going okay. As I ponder this extra time that has fallen into many of our laps, I think it’s worth asking ourselves, “Has this season allowed me to spend more time with God and His Word?”

Is there any way to find a blessing in the midst of all the difficulties we’re facing? I say, “Yes!” — and so does the book of James. James (Chapter 1) says that we can consider it pure joy whenever we face trials.
God teaches us through our trials. I want to encourage you that even though things get hard, there are blessings.

I have a thought for you from the book of Ruth. Ruth’s mother-in-law, Naomi, experienced tragedy after tragedy. But, Naomi insightfully understood that everything that happened in her life was from the hand of the Lord. This gave her strength in the midst of tragedy.
As Christians, we need to understand that God is in control of both the good things and the troubles that are in our lives. That should give us the strength we need to weather the trials and storms that come.

With all that is going on in our world right now, it can be easy to find a million things to be anxious about. If you’re like me, you can end up worrying about way more than you can handle. You try to plan out your next steps, days, weeks and even months — and you set your hope in those plans.
Christian, we don’t know what tomorrow holds — it will be anxious for itself. But, we should remember who holds our future. We should trust our Perfect Father. He will provide us with all that we need (not what we want) for the future.

“’So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.’” — John 13:34-35
This is one of the last things that Jesus said to His disciples. He told them to love one another and it would prove to the world that they were His disciples. He wants this for us, too.

There have been a number of things over the last few weeks that have tested our patience. It seems to be about the first thing to go out the window, am I right?
In Galatians 5, the Apostle Paul tells us about the Fruits of the Spirit. The Word tells us that Jesus is doing a good work in us — one that will allow us to tap into Spirit-filled patience.

The Rock Music is excited to announce the release of their latest single “The Lord Reigns”. This new worship song proclaims God’s sovereignty and Lordship along with His incredible majesty. These truths of who He is are certainly what we need to be reminded of at this time.
Songwriters Caleb and Kelsea Yetton have created an emotional anthem from the verses in Psalm 93. Seeing Jesus reign in such a way that His majesty and strength are His clothing — “That imagery intrigued me,” Caleb explained. He started to flesh out the song and then Kelsea helped him further shape the verses and the bridge. Together, they brought the song to life.

Hello, parents! I am happy to share another special video with you and your children. Today, we are going to talk about one of my favorite things to do in the whole world. We are going to talk about prayer.
It is so important for our kids to learn that Jesus loves it when they talk to Him. We can talk to Him anywhere, anytime, about anything. He is an awesome Father who loves to hear our prayers.
