Trusting God Behind the Scenes
Brenda Price, Daily DevotionalDo you ever have those days?
The ones where you know God is a way maker.
You know He’s good.
You know He loves you.
But…
It just doesn’t feel like He’s making a way.
You’ve been praying.
You’ve been trusting.
You’ve been trying to faithfully follow Him.
And yet, nothing seems to be changing.
Maybe today is one of those days.
If it is, I want you to remember something.
It’s okay.
You’re not the first person to wonder where God is in the middle of a hard season.
I’ve had those moments too.
The ones where I want to look up and ask, “God, where are You? Why am I struggling?”
But here’s what I’m learning.
Sometimes God’s greatest work is happening where I can’t yet see it.
Even when it feels like nothing is changing, God is still working.
Hebrews reminds us to “hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep His promise.”
Notice, our hope isn’t rooted in what we can see.
It’s rooted in the God who always keeps His word.
Our feelings may waver.
Our circumstances may change.
But God’s faithfulness never does.
So if your prayers feel like they’re hitting the ceiling today…
Keep holding on.
And if all you have is faith the size of a mustard seed, that’s enough to take one more step toward Jesus.
Don’t let what you see determine what you believe.
Let God’s faithfulness have the final word.

Faith for the Next Step
Daily Devotional, Denise PaganoSometimes life feels like you’re walking without a map.
Recently, I went on my church’s women’s retreat at this huge camp I’d actually been to a couple of times before.
But when it got dark…
Oh boy.
I had a map, but I couldn’t see two feet in front of me. Before long, I realized I was completely lost.
Life can feel like that sometimes.
You thought you’d be further along by now.
You thought things would make more sense.
You think, “I’ve been here before. Why don’t I know what to do?”
Instead, you’re figuring it out one step at a time.
And honestly, that can be frustrating.
Until you remember something.
God rarely shows us the entire path.
Psalm 119 says, “Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.”
Notice it doesn’t say a stadium spotlight.
It says a lamp.
A lamp gives enough light for the next step.
That’s how God often leads us.
Through His Word, He doesn’t always reveal every turn in the road or answer every question about tomorrow.
Instead, He faithfully gives us enough light to obey Him today.
So if life feels confusing right now, don’t stop walking.
Open God’s Word.
Take the next faithful step.
Then trust Him with the one after that.
Because even when you can’t see the whole path, you can trust the God who already does.

Road Rage Meets Mercy
Daily Devotional, Tammi ArenderI have a confession.
True story. I was driving the other day, and somebody nearly ran me off the road. It scared me to death, and then I did something a Christian probably shouldn’t do…
I’m not even going to tell you what it was.
But I know in that moment God was thinking, “Girl, what are you doing?”
I immediately said, “Lord, please forgive me.”
Instead of getting upset, I should have been praying for that driver. There’s probably a reason they were flying down the road like that.
And honestly, I needed to pray for myself too.
Because why is it so easy to lose my patience behind the wheel?
(Especially with an 88.7 The Cross bumper sticker on the back of my car!)
But here’s what I love about God.
He’s never surprised by my humanity.
He isn’t shocked when I fail, and He isn’t waiting for me to clean myself up before I come back to Him.
The moment I turned to Him, He was already ready to meet me with mercy.
Not pushing me away…
Pulling me closer.
That’s exactly what Isaiah reminds us.
God invites us to seek Him, to turn away from the things that pull us from Him, and to return because He forgives generously.
The fastest way forward has never been pretending we didn’t fail.
It’s repentance.
It’s turning around and running back to the Father who never grows tired of showing mercy.
God loves us exactly where we are.
But He loves us too much to leave us there.
So if you’ve had one of those moments today, don’t run from Him.
Turn toward Him.
He’s ready to forgive.
Ready to help you grow.
And ready to keep shaping you into the person He created you to be.
