Keeping Our Eyes on Christ
Daniel’s steadfast focus on God, even amid great trials, is a testament to the strength that prayer and faith provide. For those living in chaotic circumstances, let’s encourage them by reminding them that peace is found in God’s presence, not in the absence of adversity.
Gumption
Facing a massive project ahead? Having a hard time getting started on it or sticking with it? Chuck Swindoll gives some advice to help you keep plugging away at it.
It is a Big Deal
Self-denial is not a popular message—it’s seen as outdated and irrelevant. This generation believes instant gratification is no big deal, but it is! It’s a big deal! You do not take up your cross daily unless you know the discipline of patience and waiting for God’s timing.
The Lamb That Was Slaughtered
Pastor Chuck Swindoll opens Isaiah 53:3–7 to show how Jesus fulfilled the portrait of the suffering Servant—the Lamb who went to slaughter in silence, bearing our griefs and carrying our sorrows as our substitute.
God Loves a Hilarious Giver
“Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly, not under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7). “Cheerful” in Greek actually translated “hilarious.” God loves a hilarious giver—you give because you want to laugh out loud, because your heart is light.
Treacherous Temptations
Temptations are dangerous because they invite you to get in over your head. And if you accept the invitation you’ll find all your energy is spent just trying to stay afloat. When it comes to temptation the best plan of attach is a hasty retreat.
