Believe God for More Than You Can ImagineGreetings Reader Have you ever faced a situation that seemed impossible? Maybe you've prayed for a family member, hoped for an unexpected opportunity, or dreamed about what God could accomplish through your church. Paul gives us this wonderful word of encouragement in Ephesians 3:20: Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. What an encouraging promise! But there's something important we shouldn't overlook. Before Paul wrote those words, he prayed that believers would receive spiritual strength and experience the greatness of Christ's love. Sometimes we become so focused on what we want God to accomplish through us that we overlook what He wants to accomplish in us. Today's devotion explores how we can grow in Christ's love, depend on the Holy Spirit, and trust God to accomplish His purposes—even when His plans look different from ours. God Bless,

Seek Forgiveness Of Sins Through Prayer Greetings Reader The forgiveness of our sins is very important. Thankfully, through Jesus, we don’t have to wonder whether forgiveness is available when we turn to Him. Today’s devotion comes from Solomon’s prayer in 2 Chronicles 6 and God’s response in chapter 7. It includes a verse many Christians know well: Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from...
Solomon and Pharaoh’s Daughter Greetings Reader Solomon was one of the wisest men who ever lived. Yet even with all his wisdom, he made choices that went directly against what God had told him. One of those choices was marrying foreign women, including Pharaoh’s daughter. Interestingly, Solomon seemed to recognize there was a spiritual problem. He built her a palace outside the City of David because the Ark of the Lord had been there, and he considered it holy ground. But moving Pharaoh’s...
