I wondered. He had just pulled in and parked head-to-head with me at the grocery store. Now he was pointing his finger, scowling, and shouting—though I couldn’t hear a word. My windows were rolled up. I shifted into reverse, backed out of my space, and drove away. A glance in the rearview mirror told me the rest of the story: he stood in the space I’d just vacated, both arms raised in exasperation that I wasn’t there to receive his tirade. "Thank You, Jesus. Thank You, Jesus," I repeated over and over as I left the parking lot. I knew He had protected me. My mind raced as I gripped the steering wheel. Did the man want the parking space I got, and I didn’t know it? Did he think I was someone else? But as I got further away, something in my spirit reminded me: This battle isn’t with the guy in the parking lot. It’s beyond our physical world. The Bible says that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12 NASB) With that helpful perspective, I stopped trying to solve the mystery. I didn’t need to know why he was angry—only that I was protected. I later finished my errand at a different grocery store. That night, I couldn’t stop thinking about how real spiritual warfare is. I realized my faith in Jesus Christ had protected and guided me. Years ago, I might have frozen in fear. But now, trusting that Jesus is always with me gives me the peace of mind to respond differently. Jesus told His disciples, “These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33) Faith helps us grab hold of the peace Jesus offers—like the shield Paul describes in the armor of God. It’s essential in our daily battle with the enemy: In addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. (Ephesians 6:16) If that parking lot man had a flaming arrow, I think he would’ve launched it right at me. In a way, he did—unknowingly used by the enemy, who seeks to destroy us both (see John 10:10). But my faith shielded me. The arrow bounced off as I drove away, and God’s Spirit helped me see the battle for what it truly was. I am thankful for the power of faith in Jesus Christ that protects and guides me. Lord, help us all to remember who our enemy truly is—and how powerful we are in You when we put on the full armor of God: truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and Your precious Word as a sword. When we are prepared, we will walk in victory. Help us grow strong in our faith in You, Lord—and help us walk in Your peace. ~ Scripture is quoted from the New American Standard Bible®, Copyright © 1960, 1971, 1977, 1995, 2020 by The Lockman Foundation.

Unfortunately, I usually go back inside (sometimes more than once) to get my keys, phone, sunglasses, or whatever I forget before leaving. Like me, the disciples forgot something too—but their situation was far more pressing. In Mark 8, they were headed on a boat trip across a large lake without enough food. It heightens the angst they must have felt about it when, before leaving shore, they spent a good part of the day in the middle of a bread miracle as Jesus took seven loaves of bread and a few fish, thanked God for them, broke them into pieces, and had the disciples distribute the multiplied food to thousands of people. After gathering basketfuls of leftovers at clean-up time, they immediately got into a boat with Jesus—without bringing a bread supply. At this they began to argue with each other because they hadn't brought any bread. Jesus knew what they were saying, so he said, “Why are you arguing about having no bread? Don’t you know or understand even yet? Are your hearts too hard to take it in?” (Mark 8:16-17 NLT) These men couldn’t go back to shore to get the food supply they’d left behind like I can when I forget something. They were probably blaming each other as they realized their dilemma. Yet, Jesus was in the boat—the One who had just made plenty of food out of a tiny amount was right there. After all they had just witnessed, didn’t they know He’d provide for their needs? Didn’t they realize they had nothing to worry about? And Jesus asks them this question, “Don't you know or understand even yet?” I imagine He asks us the same questions. And I will confess that there have been many times when my concerns indicated that I didn't understand either. Even though I’ve witnessed God’s provision and believe He can do the impossible, I still find myself worrying—just as the disciples did. Maybe the real struggle isn’t just about forgetting what God has done and can do but about fearing the unknown, the discomfort, and the suffering life brings. The disciples didn’t want to be hungry, just as we don't want to experience loss, pain, or uncertainty. But Jesus doesn’t promise to remove every hardship; instead, He offers something greater—His peace. That’s why Jesus reassures us in John 16:33 that peace comes from knowing that no matter what happens, He is with us. Jesus said, “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33) I believe the road to understanding is found in this passage of John 16—we can have peace in Jesus. It’s not peace like the world offers. It’s an everlasting, deep peace that doesn’t come and go. It’s the peace that realizes you don’t have enough food, but God’s in control, and whatever happens, He’ll be with you. Pray with me: Father, I surrender my worries and fears to You. I don’t want to be consumed by what I lack but to trust in Your abundant provision. Teach me to walk in Your peace, no matter my circumstances. You are in control, and I rest in that truth today. Amen. ~ Scripture is quoted from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.

Even though I was only in elementary school, it’s still a vivid memory. My older sister and I had to pack our suitcases and stay at our grandparents’ home in the “country,” where we got to walk the “cow path” with our grandfather from one pasture to another and help him feed the cows, pigs, and goats. We loved it and weren't aware of the fear back home that motivated our parents to give us such a great trip and many of our neighbors to make sure their doors were locked and everyone stayed home.  MLK’s visits often ignited civil unrest despite his powerful pleas for peaceful demonstrations in his courageous fight for equality and justice. Unfortunately, many people hated the changes he fought so hard for, which led to his assassination. Each step of the way, King encouraged his followers to trust in God's plan and work toward positive change. And God didn’t allow MLK’s passion for what is right to die with him. His supporters continued the uphill fight, and the country eventually passed civil rights laws that protect us from discrimination. The victory won out of the chaos of the 60s is similar to many biblical stories depicting God bringing good from evil. One of my favorites is Joseph’s—despite being betrayed by his brothers (sold as a slave), he remained faithful to and dependent upon Almighty God. His devotion compelled him to deny a sexual advance from his master’s wife, whose false accusations sent Joseph to prison for years. God didn’t allow Joseph’s life or story to end in prison. In fact, Joseph became second in Egypt’s command and saved the country (and his brothers) from famine. He gave all the credit for the incredible reversal to God in Genesis 50:20: “But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.” (NKJV) As you can see, these stories animate the recurring theme of God’s redemptive power. And Jesus’ life provides the ultimate example. Jesus, the promised Messiah, God’s only begotten Son, came into the world to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10) and to give us abundant life (John 10:10). His enemies crucified Him on a cross, but Father God didn’t allow that to be the end. He brought Jesus back to life so those who believe in Him can have victory over sin and death, live abundantly, and spend eternity with God when their earthly lives are over.  What do we see in each of these lives, in addition to the positive results? The outcomes of their faith and obedience to God were out of their hands. The good, the bad, the results—all of it—totally in Father God’s hands. And good came from it. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28) As we celebrate MLK day and witness the inauguration of our new president, we are keenly aware of the hatred and civil turmoil of this day—just months ago, a shooter attempted to assassinate President Trump. So, like MLK, Joseph, and Jesus, who didn’t allow circumstances or the evil, injustice, and hatred that came against them to change their focus, let’s do the same. Do you love God? Think about your life and its unfortunate events. Search to find the good that God has made from these things. It will strengthen your faith and give you peace. ~ Scripture is taken from the New King James Version®. Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson. Used by permission.

In 1947 (after World War II had ended), she spoke about God’s forgiveness in the basement of a church in Munich, Germany. When her talk was over and everyone headed out, one man made his way in closer to speak with her. She recognized him as a former guard at the concentration camp where she and her sister, Betsie, were held. In her own words from November 1972: Now he was in front of me, hand thrust out: “A fine message, fräulein! How good it is to know that, as you say, all our sins are at the bottom of the sea!” And I, who had spoken so glibly of forgiveness, fumbled in my pocketbook rather than take that hand. He would not remember me, of course—how could he remember one prisoner among those thousands of women? But I remembered him and the leather crop swinging from his belt. It was the first time since my release that I had been face-to-face with one of my captors and my blood seemed to freeze. “You mentioned Ravensbrück in your talk,” he was saying. “I was a guard in there.” No, he did not remember me. “But since that time,” he went on, “I have become a Christian. I know that God has forgiven me for the cruel things I did there, but I would like to hear it from your lips as well. Fräulein,”—again the hand came out—“will you forgive me?” And I stood there—I whose sins had every day to be forgiven—and could not. Betsie had died in that place—could he erase her slow terrible death simply for the asking? Corrie goes on to explain the difficulty of the next moments and her silent prayer to Jesus to supply her absent feeling of forgiveness as she lifted her hesitant hand to meet the man’s outstretched hand. As soon as they connected, she describes the experience as “a current starting in her shoulder, racing down her arm, and springing into their joined hands.” Immediately, a “healing warmth” flooded her whole body and brought tears to her eyes. She spoke Christ’s words of forgiveness to the former guard and says she had “never known God’s love so intensely as [she] did then.” Through Corrie’s story, we see an extraordinary illustration of faith in Christ and the willing act of forgiving those who have done us harm. I believe the healing warmth she experienced is the “living water” of Jesus Christ. “Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” (John 7:38 NLT) Bitterness barricades our hearts from the Spirit’s flow. Forgiveness breaks down those walls and rivers of Jesus’ living water come rushing through us. Father God, as we continue this precious life You’ve given us through Jesus Christ, please supply the will to forgive as we lay any bitterness on Your altar and state our desire to forgive others as You have forgiven us. Your forgiveness knows no bounds, and You cast our sins away as far as the east is from the west. May we do the same toward others and be an active part of Your river of overflowing love. ~ Scripture is quoted from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.

Facts and quotes from Corrie ten Boom taken from her former guest appearance with Pat Robertson on The 700 ClubGuideposts online magazineImageWelcome HomeScanning the incoming travelers, my eyes searched the people in the rear we could barely see coming. My son-in-law’s head would surely poke out above the rest at over six-and-a-half feet tall. I spotted him. “There they are!” I blurted. “Here they come.” My family fanned out along the airport corridor, holding the colorful “Welcome Home” sign the young and the old helped make. Our youngest daughter and her family were finally moving back home after six years of living overseas. Soon, the five of them were in front of us, and after several long hugs and a few happy tears, we headed for the luggage pickup area. Perhaps you’ve had or witnessed a similar experience–someone’s presence bringing immense joy. It is hard for you to contain your emotions. Luke 19 introduces us to the crowd’s excitement as Jesus Christ entered Jerusalem to celebrate Passover: As he rode along, the crowds spread out their garments on the road ahead of him. When he reached the place where the road started down the Mount of Olives, all of his followers began to shout and sing as they walked along, praising God for all the wonderful miracles they had seen. “Blessings on the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in highest heaven!” But some of the Pharisees among the crowd said, “Teacher, rebuke your followers for saying things like that!” He replied, “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!” (Luke 19:36-40 NLT) Can you picture it? Voices rising like a tidal wave, crashing through the city, filling the air with praise and adoration. They manifested glory to the King of kings! I love Jesus’ response to the Pharisees, saying the stones along the road would burst into cheers if the crowd kept quiet. Don’t you? I’m not a Bible scholar who could present a case on whether Jesus’ response was figurative or literal. But I enjoy imagining the earth containing the same enthusiasm as the crowd that day. God gave life to this earth, from the smallest cell to the most complex environment. Indeed, His presence could spark enthusiasm in the mountains’ rocks to shout cheers. I mean, He caused a rock to provide water to the Israelites (Exodus 17:1-6). Why not grant voices to the silent stones providing His celebrated path? So, why am I sharing my imagination with you? Perhaps it’s a reminder that the Holy Spirit fuels our emotional connection to the Lord. It is God’s powerful energy surging through us. We can give ourselves full permission to express our love for our King with reckless abandon. Lift our arms and voices, shed any fear of what others might think, and invite the Holy Spirit to ignite in us the passion that burned within the crowd who welcomed Him to Jerusalem, shouting and singing praises. ~ Scripture quotations are taken from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.

He was a tall, skinny hound dog with big brown eyes, quietly standing in his cage looking at us while the rest of the dogs were hopping around and barking. “Are you treating him for heartworms?” I asked the city shelter worker. “We don’t do that here,” he answered. “But if you adopt him, we’ll try to help cover the cost of treatment.” His chances of getting adopted weren’t good with the heartworm warning plastered on his cage. I felt sorry for him. I applied to adopt him that Saturday and was told I could pick him up on Tuesday after they had neutered him. The next day, my daughter and I were walking up to our church, and I said, “I think I made a mistake adopting Rufus.” I had started mulling over the cost of his medical needs and feared a non-house-trained dog in my house. Buyer’s remorse was setting in. “Oh, it will be all right, Mom,” she said. But I was not so sure. Our small group Bible study began, and the name “Rufus” soon popped up. But it wasn’t about the dog. As it turns out, Rufus was the son of the man who carried Jesus’ cross (Mark 15:21, NLT). Later, during the sermon, the pastor mentioned a man named Rufus as one of the Apostle Paul’s friends in Romans 16:13: “Greet Rufus, whom the Lord picked out to be his very own.” Needless to say, I took note of the two biblical mentions of Rufus on the very day I was thinking of canceling the adoption. And since that Tuesday, he’s been in my home and part of my family. But the part in Romans 16:13 that I find interesting in this story applies to all of us: “whom the Lord picked out to be his very own.” Every person is born with a sinful nature that places us in a box marked for destruction (Romans 3:23 and 6:23). It might even be fair to say we also have a spiritual type of heartworm, as is pointed out in Jeremiah 17:9: “The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?” But the Lord picked us to be His very own. His Word says we “are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light” (1 Peter 2:9). Not only are we chosen, but we are also adopted. You received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children. And since we are his children, we are his heirs. (Romans 8:15-17) Because of your faith in Jesus Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection, you have been chosen to spend eternity as a child of God. He never changed His mind about taking you in, even knowing you’d need some house training. In fact, God the Father paid a tremendous price for you to be welcomed into heaven, your forever home, someday. It cost Him the life of His Son. That’s how much God loves you. Father God, we are so grateful to be called Your children and know Your perfect love. Help us to surrender all our worldly ways to You, our Master and King. Use us as vessels that light up our world with Your light—and invite everyone to join in the joy of knowing You. In Jesus’ name. Amen. ~ Scripture is quoted from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.

No other word captures how I felt that cold January morning in 1988. The life in my womb was still and the hospital had not been able to stop my bleeding. My son was due in May, four months away. This small coastal hospital had no obstetric anything, not even the special stethoscope to hear a baby’s heartbeat. I had no idea if my baby was still alive or not. The emergency room doctor had ordered a neo-natal intensive care ambulance to carry me to a hospital 45 minutes away. I had waited for six long hours. My doctor assured me many times that this special ambulance would be arriving soon. I remained calm, focusing on this well-equipped transport. “They’re here,” the nurse said. Two emergency medical technicians helped the nurse transfer me and all my belongings from the ER bed to their gurney. Finally, I was on my way, in a safe ambulance with the latest technology to assist me and my baby if I went into labor! To my surprise, the EMTs wheeled me across the snowy parking lot to what reminded me of an old work van. The burly ambulance driver helped his young, nervous assistant lift my gurney into the van and secure it to the side wall. “Good to go,” he said, as he closed the back door and went around to the driver’s seat. I hardly knew what to do or say. I surely didn’t want to go back into the ill-equipped hospital I’d waited in for so long. There'd been no movement in my womb; I had to accept what was going on. The young assistant sat beside me. “What do you have in here to help me if I go into labor?” I asked. “We have some sheets and towels in there,” he said while pointing to the cabinet on the wall of the van. Then reality set in. The medical world was not where I needed to have my hope. I was at the mercy of God alone. My baby and I needed His help! And I had been distant from Him for so long. I began to cry. In the deep recesses of my scattered and limited Christian experience, I remembered a sermon where the pastor spoke of needing to confess your sins so that God will hear your prayers. “If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.” (Psalm 66:18 NLT) So, I turned to my escort and said, “I know whose hands this is in now. I’ve got to talk to God.” And then I began confessing each and every sin I could remember out loud, as if we were the only ones there. I didn’t want anything blocking my life-and-death need for God to hear my prayer. I named each sin and asked God to forgive me. I told Him I was sorry for each one, that I didn’t want to do it again, and thanked Him for forgiving me. I have no idea how long this took. When I could not think of any more sins, I stopped confessing and began praising God. And then I began begging for God to spare my son’s life. My cries and prayers were raw. Just as we drove up to the hospital, "He kicked!" I screamed out through my tears. “He’s alive! Oh, thank You, God, thank You! He’s alive! I felt it!”  The burly driver and his young assistant had witnessed a miracle (and heard way too much of my business). Their eyes watered as they rolled me out of the back of the work van. “God bless you,” one said. And He did. My son was born two months later, a preemie, but otherwise healthy. Be encouraged. When you pray, never forget to do a heart-search for unconfessed sin in your life. Put it on the altar before God and confess everything about it so that no part of it remains to distance you and Him. Then, make your requests known to God. His mercy and grace are far beyond anything you can imagine. ~ Scripture quotations are taken from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.

It’s such a picture of the ultimate power of Almighty God. In the first chapter of Ezra, we are introduced to King Cyrus of Persia. From all that’s written in this chapter, we see a king who is carrying out God’s plan but doesn’t claim to be “one of God’s people.” In the first year of King Cyrus of Persia, the LORD fulfilled the prophecy he had given through Jeremiah. He stirred the heart of Cyrus to put this proclamation in writing ... “The LORD, the God of heaven ... has appointed me to build him a Temple at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Any of you who are his people may go to Jerusalem in Judah to rebuild this Temple of the LORD, the God of Israel, who lives in Jerusalem. And may your God be with you!” (Ezra 1:1-3 NLT) In Ezra 1:5, the Scripture says: “God stirred the hearts of the priests and the Levites and the leaders of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin to go to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple of the LORD.” There’s an awful lot about this time in history that’s noteworthy: King Cyrus carries out God’s bidding, reconstruction of the Temple of the LORD begins, and prophecy is fulfilled regarding the Jewish exiles returning to Jerusalem from their Babylonian captivity. However, this whole picture of God stirring the hearts of King Cyrus, the priests, and the Levites has captivated my thinking. In fact, I am pretty sure I’ve wanted God to stir many a heart (mine included). I’ve personally wanted to see changes for Christ made in a person’s heart so badly that I had a hard time understanding why my prayers for Him to move a heart didn’t happen. Surely, God wanted them to get in a right relationship with Him! And then I learned from many experiences that God allows people to have free will. Father God created us to love Him but doesn’t make us love Him. He could have. But He didn’t. In King Cyrus’s case, God stirred his heart to carry out God’s will. He stirred the priests and leaders’ hearts to carry out His will. It’s not said that Cyrus or the priests and leaders became people who were men after God’s own heart (like King David), but the Temple got built, God’s people returned to Jerusalem, and Jeremiah’s prophecy from God became fact. God’s will was done. His perfect will. At times, I’ve gotten so hung up on the thought that God doesn’t overstep our “free will” boundary that I forget that He certainly will if He decides to. What I believe I’m seeing is that when He does, it’s for purposes outside of my realm of understanding—His purposes. And I believe I’m seeing that those times He exerts His power to stir a heart, it’s not to love Him, it’s to carry out His will. It’s still a bit of a mystery, but we’re not told that we’ll understand everything about God. Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways! For who can know the LORD’S thoughts? Who knows enough to give him advice? (Romans 11:33-34) Prayer: Oh Lord, we praise You, our great and mighty Father! Lord Jesus, You stand at the door of our souls and knock, promising that if anyone hears Your voice and opens the door, You will come in to him. You stir the hearts of men and carry out Your perfect will. How great is Your power and Your love for us. Please help us surrender all that we are to have Your Spirit guide us through our days. Amen. ~ Scripture quotations are taken from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright © 1996, 2004, 2007 by Tyndale House Foundation.
