There’s no doubt that we gravitate to the promises of God. The side we don’t like is the side of struggle when following Jesus. Walking and living for Jesus will bring both great and difficult times.

What if everything that has happened to you has prepared you for your greatest days? Psalm 23 says God leads us in paths of righteousness. The Hebrew word for path carries the idea of "paths made of circles." God is always at work in our lives, but most of the time, we don't see it or understand it until we look backwards and see the circular nature of his work. This devotional, based on the book Connecting the Dots, looks at how to identify God's work in every season of life and see how he has prepared us with a mission and message. God really is working all things together for the good of those who love him.

Near the end of his life, John was the last of the living apostles and wrote a story about Jesus. It’s his testimony of who Jesus is, what he said, what he did, and who he claimed to be. Jesus has a story. He invites us to make it our story. When we make Jesus’s story our story, we have life in his name. This plan focuses on Jesus’s final moments and words with his disciples, preparing them for his crucifixion to come. It is Jesus’s last will & testament. This plan focuses on John 16. It is part of an ongoing series.

The purpose of this series is to help you become a disciple of Jesus — someone who knows God personally and intimately, is obedient to His Word, faithfully applying the truth you are learning and consistently sharing the good news to others.

Jesus took time to prepare His disciples for the impending rejection that they would face because of following Him. He not only explained why they would be persecuted but also promised them an Advocate who would be with them after He had left. His Words provide perspective and encouragement as we seek to be faithful when we face opposition.

This plan looks at a vital spiritual practice to all seeking growth in God: tilling the soil of the heart. God longs for us to till the soil of our hearts that we might be receptive to the seed of his word and bear fruit.

You and I have been given the invaluable gift of communication with God. Last week we learned about the process of making the soil of our hearts soft and receptive to God.

God did not create us to have the perfect marriage, but to reflect and represent the relationship between Jesus and the bride of Christ, the Church. A fully connected marriage is a partnership where husband and wife are committed to the daily pursuit of God and each other. When couples are willing to intentionally invest in their marriage, they can experience life fully connected to God and each other.

The sacred chase is the audacious pursuit of God and God’s reckless love for you. All of heaven desires to see your life soaked with the reality of God’s presence. As Heath Adamson reminds us in this week-long devotional, pursuing this is worth all of your efforts. The prize is the reality of Jesus in your life today.
