Meet Me in the Morning
When we commit our day to God, we’re asking Him to walk with us and empower us. Our heavenly Father wants to share our heavy load, to have us lay before Him all that troubles us so he can equip us with His strength, His patience, His peace, His joy, and His grace.
Home Run
Hebrews 12:1 reminds us that we also have a crowd of witnesses surrounding us. We aren’t alone in this race. On the sidelines, saints are pulling for us. Saints we know from the Bible, such as Abraham, Moses, and Joshua, along with loved ones who have gone before us.
