I. MOSESSOVE BVQVE. 25:23

Life can be unpredictable and confusing, even when we serve God. Things seem at times to be out of control, leaving us to wonder what in the world is going on! If you have ever felt this way or are confused, this new devotional series by Pastor Jim Cymbala is just for you!

How many times do we stop and take time to appreciate the world around and above us? God covered the heavens with His majesty; all of creation speaks to us about His power. But He also created us with a purpose–to have a personal relationship with Him. Through this devotional, we will take the focus off ourselves to look up in awe, surrender, and worship with thankfulness.

Throughout his life in the book of Genesis, we see Jacob fighting. Fighting for status. Fighting for blessings. Fighting in relationships. What can followers of Jesus learn today from someone whose life was a constant struggle?

Amos is often called a prophet of doom. When you begin to read his prophecy, it doesn’t take long to realize that nickname fits. On the surface, his prophecy doesn’t sound like a happy formula for the good life. However, every condemnation he gives serves as an invitation, a cry for us to “seek God and live” (Amos 5:4). This kind of living will bring us peace and true prosperity.
