Pride Hinders Faith

When Life Doesn’t Make Sense

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.—Isaiah 55:8 (NIV)

Philip Yancey wrote, “Faith, I’ve concluded, means believing in advance what will only make sense in reverse.” Unfortunate events can leave you bewildered and trying to make sense of adversity. Turn to this verse when you feel confused and are deeply trying to find meaning and purpose behind what is happening. Trust God.

Heavenly Father, I trust Your plan.

Reach for the Stars

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?—Psalm 8:3–4 (NIV)

Nature itself is a testimony of God’s existence. Make time to go outside and look up at the moon and stars. Be mindful of God, the Creator, the expanse of the universe and the stunning beauty of the night sky.

Lord, I stand in awe at the beauty of Your creation.

Your Rock

Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.”—1 Samuel 7:12 (NIV)

Jesus is your Ebenezer, your stone of support. Imagine that each time Jesus helps you, you receive a special stone. Create an altar in your mind’s eye of all these stones and turn to it when your faith wavers. Know that He is your rock. He has helped you before and He will help you again.

All-Powerful Lord, You are my Help, my Savior.
