Nevertheless
Nevertheless is a funny group of three words put together (never-the-less) that means āin spite of what preceded.ā Other Bible translations use ābutā or āyetā.
Colors
Godās box of crayons is the biggest of all. There are literally millions of colors for us to see in this world he has created.
Stick (from Just One Word)
We need things to stick. We need people to stick. And, we need God to stick. Jacobās dream in Genesis 28 can help us remember God never leaves our side.
Journaling with Jesus
Are you a journal-erā¦ or maybe not so much? You might want to give it a try after reading this! Words have a way of uncovering whatās resting in your heart.
Unfolding
But God doesnāt give us everything at once. When it comes to letting us in on his plans for us, he does something fascinating and frustrating at the same time.
Mom’s Favorite Promise
In honor of my beautiful Mom, here is one of her favorite promises in the Bible and the devotion from Just One Word that goes with it.
Partake
Help yourself to the divine nature of God. You can have as much as you wantāplate, after plate, after plateā¦
After
āWhat are you after?ā What if Jesus asked me that? What do I spend my time and effort pursuing? Success? Relationships? Health? A comfortable lifestyle?
Compassion
When we feel afraid, we can remember Godās great compassion. Not only does he buckle us in and take the wheel, but he holds our hands as long as we need.
Quiet Whisper
I can get awfully loud sometimes. But when I stop and listen for his quiet whisper, my heart is reminded of the God I trust.
His Idea
Iām pretty convinced that every single idea of Godās is designed to give us another glimpse of his extravagant and unconditional love.
Last Place
Maybe what he really wants us to understand is that he isnāt even lining us up. He loves us in no kind of order that we can ever make sense of.
He Ran
He runs to us. No matter where we have been, what we have done, how hurtful our choices have been. He is slow to anger, abounding in love.
Because Jesus
Why would anyone want to become a Christian? Because Jesus. No matter what happens, we are safe, we are taken care of, we are never alone.
Glory
As we get to know Jesus, we begin to experience his glory. We get glimmers of delight in big and little things. We feel a spark of unexplainable joy and hopeā¦
