What would happen if God’s children undoubtedly realized God is our Father? How much more of an abundant, joyous, and peaceful life would we live if we truly grasped the One who created the universe as our Father? For anyone seeking to gain an understanding of our Father, further develop your relationship with Him, peek into His heart, and embrace your identity as God’s child, this devotional is for you.

This devotional is designed to help you see God during life’s storms. We often imagine God only being with us when things are comfortable; however, throughout scripture we see God walking through the fire WITH His people. The storms of life do not cause God to distance himself from us, but they can allow for God’s love, power, and wisdom to be visible to us and others.

Follow along on this 5-day devotional study as we review the words of Isaiah’s vision (Isaiah 53), gain a better understanding of why God’s prophet referred to Jesus the Messiah as a man of sorrows and grief, and how that turned into our victory!

We all know fear and anxiety are part of the human experience. But so often fear and anxiety keep us overwhelmed and unable to enjoy the life God has given us. This reading plan focuses on the promises of God, journal prompts, and simple practices to anchor our hearts when waves of anxiety knock us around. Let’s find more peace, joy, and firm ground.

For generations, the Psalms have been a source of comfort and hope, giving voice to our desire to love God faithfully, our need for his strength, and our longing to see His kingdom come. They are, as C.H. Spurgeon said, a banquet for the soul. In this five-day plan, adapted from "Spurgeon and the Psalms," feast upon select psalms alongside devotional wisdom from "the prince of preachers."

Losing a loved one is utterly heartbreaking. It’s a terrible pain that no one can understand unless they’ve been in your shoes. This 5-day plan was written by women who have experienced loss and want to help you find comfort and peace in God’s Word. While this plan can’t help you accelerate the grief process, we believe it will help you endure the everyday hurts and give you hope.

Psalm 23 is one of the most well-known psalms. If you grew up in Sunday school, every verse was a memory verse and when you hear the start of verse 1 – ‘The Lord is my shepherd’ – for some, the rest of the psalm just rolls off the tongue because it’s so familiar. However, we all know that familiarity sometimes brings loss of meaning. As we dissect this psalm verse by verse in this plan, we pray that it won’t just be familiar but that it will take on new depth and new meaning in your life.

Grief is something we will all experience in this lifetime. The word grief is often used to describe the emotion of deep sorrow felt when someone we love has died. However, grief can also be a response to the loss of anything that has held meaning and significance in our life. So how can we find our way in our own times of grief and how can we walk as a compassionate friend alongside others who are grieving? I hope this plan may be a starting point for you as we look at some verses from the Bible and share some reflections.

Step away from the hustle—and hassle—of life and begin a five-day journey through the Holy Land. Experience the life-changing reality of exploring the Land and the Book.
