Experience The Sweet Fragrance Of ChristGreetings Reader Have you ever considered what your life smells like to God? That may sound like a strange question, but the Bible uses the picture of a fragrance to describe a life that pleases Him. Our devotion begins with a woman pouring expensive perfume upon Jesus. While others criticized her and called it a waste, Jesus saw something entirely different. From there, we will look at what Paul meant when he wrote: “Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God.” 2 Corinthians 2:15 We can become so concerned about what other people think of us that we forget the One we should desire to please the most. What matters is that the fragrance of Christ rises from our lives to God. In today’s devotion, we’ll see how love, sacrifice, and obedience can make our lives a pleasing aroma to Him. Enjoy today’s devotion. God Bless, Robin

But from among His followers, Jesus chose twelve men for a very special purpose. I'm ashamed to say this, but I can hear some church leaders...
Simple Faith In A Complicated World Greetings Reader Psalm 131 is one of three chapters in the Bible with only three verses. In this Psalm, David chose a quiet path to humbly trust God. His words invite us to step off the exhausting treadmill of self-reliance and learn the beauty of simple faith. Lord, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I don’t concern myself with matters too great or too awesome for me to grasp.Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself, like a weaned child who...
God Hears You Even In Your Lowest Moment Greetings Reader Psalm 88 stands apart from nearly all the other Psalms. It does not rise into celebration, nor does it turn sharply toward visible hope. In fact, it can leave us wondering if God really hears us. But as we dig into this Psalm, we will see how what the Psalmist experienced points us toward the work Jesus accomplished. It will also help us understand how to face some of the lowest moments of our lives. No matter what we experience or how...
