Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Matthew 11:30

In our world, filled with talk about our “rights” as human beings, the message of the Bible is strikingly countercultural.

Bekah is journeying and inviting us into life’s unplanned circumstances—frantic schedules, pain, transition, feelings of unworthiness, distractions, relational tension—and reminding us that it’s in these very moments when God invites us to notice, respond, and even celebrate an authentic relationship with Him despite our own efforts or work. The result? A connection between real life and faith so that they are one and the same. 

Trust is the most valuable commodity of the human heart. Without trust, there can’t be love. Without trust, there can’t be faith.
