When I read this verse, something comes to mind for me that might resonate with some of you, but maybe others will just be learning about it now. When I was a kid, there was something called Highlights magazine. I don't know if that brings up anything for anyone, but for me, the nostalgia is strong and I have favorable memories. It's mainly because what this verse is talking about was represented in a very small and minuscule way in something in this magazine. Hidden Pictures It was a section called Hidden Pictures. You turned to the page and when you look at the picture, you see this big piece of art that's filling up the whole page. Within that picture, there are all these other little pictures that are woven into the greater piece of art. There's a list on the side of all of these items. Your job is to look at this picture, this piece of art, and find the hidden pictures that are inside. I used to love to grab my pen and go through that list and try to find with keen eye in the middle of this greater picture where the other hidden pictures were. Well, that comes to mind for me because I believe what we're seeing here on the pages of Isaiah is calling us to this work here on earth: to seek where we can see the Lord in the middle of our regular life. Where are the hidden pictures of God's hand of kindness? Where are the hidden pictures of God's grace, His goodness, His forgiveness? Where can we see God? Maybe at first glance, we don't see Him right away. Finding God in Hard Seasons For some of us, this feels like a very foreign prospect, because we might be in a season where it feels like I'm looking at this picture of life, I'm looking at this artistic work that's unfolding, and I can't see how there can be any evidence of God in the middle of any of it, because it's just hard right now. I feel like at every turn there is disappointment and sadness, frustration. This is something that is real to the plight of the human being on earth. There are others of us who are going, "Man, I can't help but see at every turn all the ways that God is at work in the middle of my story. Things are good. I'm thriving, I feel hopeful." The cool thing is, for each one of us on the journey, the difficulty of finding God at work and the abundant nature of seeing God at work intersect with one another. Seeking God in Community Do you know why? Because God actually designed our pursuance of Him not to be individual, but communal in nature. The reader in the first century of the Scriptures, understanding who Jesus was and what it meant to know Him and reading these letters about His life—the people would have known it wasn't just for them by themselves to figure out where they could see God at work. It was to understand what it meant to know God for themselves relative to the community. The reason that was important is exactly how I just lined it out. There were times where people needed the encouragement of the ones who were seeing God everywhere, when they felt like He was invisible. There was the calibration for people who felt like they could do no wrong and everything was all good—but to remember there was pain and need and brokenness in life. They served one another in community as they sought to see the hidden pictures of God in the world. Increase Your Focus I don't know which side you find yourself on today, but let's increase our focus. Let's set our lenses to try to find God at work in the hidden pictures right here in our lives on earth. Seek the Lord While You Can Find Him Read the transcript from today's video devotional.

A Strong Warning In Colossians chapter 2 and verse 8, there's some really strong language that Paul uses. Apparently, it's possible for us to be captured — to be captured by wrong ideas, anti-biblical ideas. That means not just distracted, but captured, where these ideas, this kind of thinking, these philosophies could take hold of us and do what they want with us. It's a strong warning that he gives us. He says there's a distinct difference between that which belongs to the world — this knowledge that belongs to the world — and that which, in his words, comes from Christ. It's a big warning for us here. There is a danger for us today, just like there was a danger when Paul was writing to the Colossians in the first century. There are things that we hear that sound good, that sound deep, sound meaningful and might even sound true. The question is, do they line up with Scripture? Do they agree with Christ? It doesn't matter how polished the ideas are. It doesn't matter how confident the person delivering those ideas is. It doesn't matter how persuasive the arguments are. If it comes from — in his words here — merely human thinking, then it stands apart from Christ. It is no good for us, and it cannot give us life. We have to be on guard about this. The Christian Must Be Discerning You're bombarded all the time. You're hearing ideas, you're hearing information, you're hearing philosophy, you're hearing knowledge. If you're connected in any way to social media, you see it over and over again. What Paul is saying here is that the Christian must be discerning. What that means is that you could hear something, and it's not going to be obviously wicked. Right? There are some things that you hear, and you know that's wrong. That's gross. That's not biblical. Then there are other things that you might hear and think, "Oh, well, I kind of like that." It might sound really good. It might be presented, like I said, with a lot of confidence. What are you going to do with that? You have to say, "What does the Bible say? What does Jesus say? Is this according to Scripture?" If it's not, then I have to reject it. Measure Everything by Christ Practically speaking, how do we stay clear? How do we protect ourselves? How do we keep ourselves from being captured by these empty philosophies and this high-sounding nonsense? If you haven't figured it out already, we have to measure everything we hear by Christ. Does this idea honor Him? Does it agree with His Word? Does it draw me closer to Him? Does it make me more dependent on Him or less? Does it make me more dependent on others, or maybe myself? Does it draw me into humility? Does it draw me into obedience, or does it push me into something else, like self-rule? We remember this word from Paul in Colossians chapter 2 and verse 8: "Don't let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ."

Prayers That Go Deeper Have you ever heard the term "dangerous prayer"? It's this idea that most of our prayers are centered around personal requests. "Lord, help me find that new job." "Lord, help us buy this house." "Lord, help me ace this upcoming test." While none of these prayers are bad, and they are all things that we can and should be bringing before God, the Bible tells us that there are prayers we should be praying that go deeper than this — prayers that pull us into a closer relationship with God and help us grow spiritually. One of these dangerous prayers we find in Psalm 139, and that's our Verse of the Day. What Makes It Dangerous? You might hear this prayer and go, "What exactly makes these sorts of prayers dangerous?" To put it simply, it's dangerous because you need to be prepared for when God inevitably answers it. See, this sort of prayer requires an extreme level of humility. It calls us to open up our lives completely to God, saying, "Lord, transform me in ways that I might not be ready for. "Lord, uncover every single area of my life." I mean, let's be honest — how many of us like to ask somebody to point out everything that's wrong with us? Yet that's exactly what David is doing here. He's saying, "Search me, O God." Let's look at how David invites God into his life through this dangerous prayer. Search My Heart First, he asks God to search his desires and motives. He says, "Search me, O God, and know my heart." See, in the Jewish worldview, the heart was the center of the person. Your desires, your character, your will, how you made choices — all of it centered around your heart. When David invites God to search his heart, he's saying, "Lord, go to the deepest parts of me. "I'm giving You everything." That's dangerous — to let God have everything — because we've got to be willing to let it all go. Test My Anxious Thoughts Once he invites God into those innermost places, he says, "Lord, help me to trust You more." He says, "Test me and know my anxious thoughts." I don't know about you, but I find myself praying against anxiety all the time. Usually that prayer goes like this: "Lord, take away my anxiety." David doesn't say, "Take away my anxiety." He says, "Test me and know my anxious thoughts." There's this idea of, "Lord, show me all of the places that I'm faltering in my faith. Show me all of the ways that I'm not trusting You. Test me. Put me to the test and know all of my anxious thoughts so that I can rewire my mind "and trust You more." Point Out Anything That Offends You Lastly, David invites God into his actions. He goes from this inward place of the heart to his mind, and then he says, "Lord, if there is anything in me that offends You, Lord, point it out." See, for David, it wasn't just about intellectually knowing what God wanted him to do. It was about how he was living it out. If anything was not in line with God's will, he wanted to know about it so that he could focus on it. The beauty of these sorts of dangerous prayers is that God isn't asking us to pray this way just so we can see the mess that we've made. It's about inviting God in so that He can heal us and help us grow in all of these ways. Let's Pray Dangerously I want to challenge us: let's pray dangerously, because this is the way that God leads us onto this path of everlasting life. Let's pray dangerously, and let's be ready for when God begins to answer. A Dangerous Prayer Read the transcript from today's video devotional.

There's something about a name. A name can carry a lot of shame, a lot of guilt. Or a name can carry greatness. Think about when I say Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant or Michael Phelps. We think greatness. In our text today, we're reminded of how the story began when you and I entered the world. It actually started out pretty bad. And here's why. Because it says, "Just as death came into the world through a man." And that's a reference to Adam. We Inherited the Sinful Nature of Adam That means Adam sinned, and we've inherited the sinful nature of Adam. Now we struggle with sin. Now there's suffering, pain, addiction, strife, tension in relationships. We see that all over the world because we live in a fallen world. That's how the story started. It started with death and with sin. But the story didn't end there. It says this: "Now the resurrection from the dead has begun through another man." Who's the another man in this text? It's a reference to Jesus Christ. Jesus comes on the scene and He gives us a new identity. How does He do that? Because we've inherited the sinful nature of Adam, now we need a Savior, because the Bible tells us in Romans chapter 6 and verse 23 that the wages of sin is death. We need to be forgiven of sin. The only person who can forgive us is Jesus Christ, because He lived a perfect life, and He's the one that went to the cross and absorbed the wrath of God that you and I deserved. Physical Resurrection It says this: "Now the resurrection from the dead"—that resurrection is for believers who are in Jesus Christ. They will be physically resurrected one day. Like that day is coming where those who have said yes to Jesus, they will be resurrected. Death doesn't have the final say for the believer. Death is not the end. We transition into eternity with our Lord Jesus Christ. Resurrection Power Not only do we have physical resurrection, we also have resurrection power. Paul is writing to Christians who wrestled with doubt. Let me explain. Verse 12, it says this: "But tell me this. Since we preach that Christ rose from the dead, why are some of you saying there will be no resurrection of the dead?" They're doubting that there will be a resurrection. Paul says this: "For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised either. If Christ has not been raised, then all of our preaching is useless and your faith is useless." He's trying to tell them, without the resurrection, everything we do is useless. Like there wouldn't be a church. There wouldn't be all these ministries around the world. But he wants to tell them, "Hey, the resurrection is real. Not only will we be physically resurrected, we have resurrection power." What That Means for Us Here's what that means for us. Because Jesus rose from the dead, that means He's able—He's able to take away our anxiety or depression. He's able to help us in our addiction and not only help us, but help us defeat the addiction that we're wrestling with. I don't know what you're carrying today. It could be an addiction. Maybe you've lost a loved one and you're grieving and you're not sure how to navigate that. Maybe you're depressed or fighting hopelessness. Can I just remind you? You carry someone's name and His name is Jesus. He gives us life. He gives us strength. I want to remind you, there's resurrection power. No matter what you're facing today. The call is to ask the Lord for help, is to draw near to Him. Because when we do that, He's going to draw near to us. We have resurrection power.

Trying to Grasp Forever When my kids were younger, we would often have discussions about God, and one of the concepts that was really hard for them to understand was the concept of forever. I remember having discussions with one of my kids, and they just could not grasp the concept of forever. I certainly can't grasp it well either, but it was one of those concepts where we'd say, "Eternity — that means God's forever." He's been here forever. It was just an amazingly difficult concept. I think one of the reasons why it's difficult is because we can't control forever. There's a Being — there's a God — who lives forever. Our Verse of the Day is really an excellent passage that shows us how God is forever. In John chapter 1 and verse 1, the Bible says, "In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God." In the context of the Gospel of John, John is writing, and in John chapter 20 and verses 30 and 31, he basically says, I write these things to you, and I want to tell you that if you believe in the name of Christ, He is the direction and He is the way you need to go. John is writing evangelistically, to help people know who Jesus is so that they can follow and believe in Him. Three Truths That Reveal Jesus Is God As we look at our passage in John chapter 1, very simply, there are three truths that reveal Jesus is God. Essentially, we see the reason why it's so important to understand that, and really, the problems we'll have if we don't realize this. Number one, Jesus is eternal. It says it right there in the verse. He always existed. "In the beginning the Word already existed." It's hard for us to comprehend. I mean, who was before God? I would say this with my kids: "So God was in the beginning — Genesis chapter 1 and verse 1. But who was before God?" "Dad? Nobody?" No one. God always existed. This God that he's talking about in John chapter 1 and verse 1 — he says in John chapter 1 and verse 14 that this Word, this Person, Jesus Christ, became flesh and dwelt among us. This God, the Lord Jesus Christ, is eternal. He existed before Bethlehem, before He was born of the Virgin Mary. He's always existed. He is eternal. Number two, Jesus is distinct from the Father. The Bible says, "In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God." We have God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. They enjoyed perfect fellowship, perfect communication, perfect communion with one another before any of us ever existed. Finally, Jesus is not only eternal and distinct from the Father, but thirdly, Jesus Christ is fully God. It says at the end of the verse, "and the Word was God." Recently I spoke with a guy who said Jesus was just a man. He's not God. He said Jesus was a good teacher. He was a good moral person. But He wasn't God. The reason that we don't like Jesus Christ being God is because we have to bow to His authority. In this passage, again, God the Father is not the Son; God the Son is not the Father. Jesus Christ is fully God, uniquely God. He's not just a part of God. He is uniquely God. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit — the Trinity — are all there together. Here in this passage, uniquely, Jesus Christ is fully God. Celebrate the God Who Pursues You How do we apply this? How is this relevant to your life and mine? I find it incredibly relevant. Number one, celebrate the God who pursued us. I love what Sinclair Ferguson — he's an author and a pastor — says: this is the Son before time, the Son with the Father, and the Son is God. He pursued us. We love Him because He first loved us. I mean, this God who came and stepped into time pursues you...The Word Who Always Was Read the transcript from today's video devotional.

Believing Isn't Enough What if I told you that believing in something isn't enough? That seems a little confrontational right off the bat, but the Bible actually points to this, and I believe it's more of an encouragement than it is something to feel hopeless about. The Foundation of Faith Faith is really good to keep you going. It's the foundation of many things, pillars even. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God — that's good, we need that. We need that belief, especially when the world is spinning around you and it's telling you to believe all these different things. You need to have faith in Jesus to keep you steady. This scripture is saying there's one more layer to belief. Faith, if it stays here, is no good. I want to take a quick sidestep: sometimes people will say you have to do A, B, C, D, all of these things to prove your worth to God — if you work your way to Him, then you're good. That is the furthest thing from the gospel. Nothing that we could do would ever make us right in God's sight. Only one thing does: Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. So all the work is finished — Jesus accomplished that. What we have to do is believe. That's where belief comes in. When we look at what this is saying, it says that faith should lead to good deeds. If I don't work for my salvation because of Jesus, but deeds still have something to do with it, then how am I supposed to reconcile this? Think of it this way: because we have been saved, we can do good things, but our belief must be the fuel for those good things. The Apple Tree Think about a tree. When a tree is planted, it produces fruit, and the fruit is not meant for the tree to keep to itself. I don't know that I've ever seen a tree get selfish over its fruit. It's open — anybody can walk up to an apple tree, pick an apple, and eat it for themselves. An apple tree does not hoard its fruit. When we think about that picture, let's think about it in the context of our faith. If Jesus has saved us and the work is finished, but we now have the freedom to produce good deeds, then those things should be done for the sake of others. Jesus saved us to be witnesses of our salvation, the freedom that we have received. What Does That Look Like? If we say we believe that Jesus is the Son of God, we should use that belief to push us into doing good works. What does that mean? What does Jesus call us to do? He says that pure and undefiled religion, the good stuff, is visiting orphans and widows, clothing those without clothing, feeding those without food. It's serving those who need service, ultimately loving them the way that Jesus loves us. What Is Your Life Producing? Think about that today. What are you doing in your life right now that is producing good deeds, producing fruit that people can take for themselves? Just like Scripture says, they would taste and see that the Lord is good. What is your life producing? Is it drawing people closer to Jesus? I pray that today you would be encouraged and challenged to think about how your faith is leading you to produce good deeds.

Paul's writing this letter to his dear friend Timothy, and in this first chapter, Paul is reflecting on what God has done in his life, how God had saved him. Remember, Paul went from being a murderer to a missionary, from a persecutor to a pastor. God radically transformed his life. That's what he's recounting for his friend Timothy in the first chapter of this letter. Pausing to Break Into Praise Then what happens here in verse 17 is that in the middle of that, in the middle of remembering what God had done, Paul just abruptly pauses and he breaks out into praise. There's something very important for us to consider there. That is that right theology and right thinking is not just for the purpose of analysis. It's not just for the purpose of academic. It's not making our minds bigger and gaining more knowledge and more information. No, an understanding of who God is and what He's done has practical application in our life. Paul can't articulate what God has done without stopping and having it turn into praise and worship. Because right thinking, which is what he's doing here, right thinking does lead to right living. The Fullness of This Verse Notice how full this verse is when it describes God. It keeps lifting up our eyes, if you will, higher and higher. He says, "The Eternal King, the unseen one, the one who never dies, the only God." God is not one king, one God, one ruler among many. No, He is the only God who is eternal. Who is the unseen one? He is the only God. He's not fragile. He's not threatened. He's not beatable. He's not competing with anyone for His authority. God alone is God. That idea is what prompts Paul here to praise and worship God. Paul was a man who knew how much he did not deserve mercy from God, and yet he had received God's mercy. It's what makes the song he sings so powerful. It was rooted in his understanding of what God had done for him, for him personally. He wasn't just worshiping God from a distance. He wasn't just hearing someone talk about theology. He knew this to be true, and he had experienced its application and its implication in his life. God Is Personally Majestic God is not theoretically majestic to Paul. He is truly and personally majestic to Paul. You could read about Paul's life and see all that that helped to bring him through. When life feels chaotic, as it often does, we instinctively start to look for something to steady ourselves. Maybe that's a person. Maybe that's a number in a bank account. Maybe it's a good report. What does Paul do over and over again here to steady himself? 1 Timothy chapter 1 and verse 17 reminds us that ultimate stability is not found in our circumstances. No, it is found in the eternal God, the unseen one who never dies. I saw this illustrated for me this last week when I watched an interview on television, and the interview was with a man who was a former politician. Several months ago, he had been diagnosed with a terminal disease. The interviewer was asking him questions and trying to get to the root of how this man was able to think the way he was thinking and how he was able to be hopeful, and how he was able to have joy, even though he knew that he had weeks, maybe months, only to live. Understanding God's Sovereignty This man went on to talk about what we're reading in this verse right here. He understood that God was in control. He understood that God was sovereign. He understood that God had a plan and that nothing could thwart that plan. The more clearly you see who God is, the more fitting your praise is going to become, and the more honestly you remember what God has done for you, the more impossible it becomes to hold back your...All Honor and Glory to God Forever and Ever Read the transcript from today's video devotional.

So Many Voices We live in a world that's filled with noise everywhere we go. Whether you're at the gym or in an elevator, there's always noise around us. Think about this: we have social media. We have the news. Then we have what we tell ourselves — that internal dialogue, right? What is truth? It can get so overwhelming, because there are so many different voices coming at us that we start to wonder, is there truth? Where do we go if we're looking for truth? Every Word of God Proves True Notice that our verse says every word of God is true — not just some words, but every word. You and I will have competing voices in our lives. The challenge is to drown out these other voices that are condemning us and discouraging us. We have to get to a place where we allow the voice of God to be the clearest and the loudest in our lives. How do we do that? We do that by filling our minds with the truth of God's Word. Here's why: every word of God proves true. God has a good track record. We can look all throughout Scripture and see the faithfulness of God over and over. A Shield to All Who Come to Him It says every word of God proves true, and then it says He's a shield — speaking of protection — to all who come to Him. Think about this: when you get to a place in life where you feel like you're drowning, you feel like all hell is breaking loose in your life, where do you turn? Some people turn to the bottle. Some people numb themselves. Some people turn to shopping, gambling, anything to numb the pain. For the believer, we have a place to take our pain. We have a shield. Notice it says "to all who come to Him." There's an invitation. That shield is only for those who come to Him. Have You Come to Him? My question to us today is simple: have you come to Him? If you haven't, you're going to turn to these other places where you think you'll find satisfaction and you think you'll find answers, and you'll walk away feeling discouraged. You're going to continue to look for truth. God is so gracious that He's given us His Word. He's given us truth. That is a lamp unto our feet. Hear the Word of the Lord again. It says, "Every word of God proves true. He is a shield to all who come to Him for protection." Finding Truth in a World Full of Noise Read the transcript from today's video devotional.

A Tremendous Gift from God Community is such a beautiful thing and a tremendous gift from God. I'm so grateful that Paul took the time to leave us these instructions for how we truly live out biblical community and what it looks like. Instead of What? Before we can unpack Ephesians chapter 4 and verse 32 and go any deeper, we have to understand that the word "instead" is doing the heavy lifting here. If Paul says "instead," then we must logically ask the question: instead of what? To get the answer to this question, we must read verse 31 first. That's where we figure out what Paul wants gone. Let's read verse 31 together. It says, "Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior." Paul leaves this list. Paul is beautiful in that he doesn't just tell us to change something — he tells us what to change. Then he tells us how to do it, which is what he leaves with us in this verse: "Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you." Be Kind to One Another Kindness is something that this world needs more than anything. Who better to show the world? Who better to lead the way than the body of believers, which is you and I? Some of these words and concepts might sound fancy, and you think, "Well, that's for the super spiritual people who are always at church, and they never mess up, and they never miss. That's for the pastors and the teachers and the preachers." No, it's for you, and it's for me. It's for all of us, because we're all God's children. We get to show a true reflection of Christ to the world by choosing to be kind to one another. Be Tenderhearted I love this word "tenderhearted." Be tenderhearted. This is to show compassion. That's like if a friend comes to you — or think of it if you have a child or a sibling, somebody you care about deeply — and they're in the midst of a struggle, a deep struggle. They come to you, and they're in tears, and they're overwhelmed, and they share their heart with you. Are you going to say, "That's not my problem," and just move about your day? That's the opposite of being tenderhearted. The reality is, we do see a lot of people who respond to one another this way. It's very easy to become self-centered and self-absorbed in the world in which we live. I mean, social media, advertisements — there are all types of companies creating things that force you to rely solely on you, to think of you only. That's not what God wants. That's not God's heart. In the context of this chapter, God is talking about us being unified as a body, and now He's teaching us how to treat one another in the body. That's to be kind and to be tenderhearted. Don't harden your heart when somebody's going through something. If you see someone, maybe they just need an ear. You might think, "Well, I'm not educated enough. I don't know the Scripture enough to lead someone through it. I don't know how to unpack it." Guess what? You have a heart that God gave you, and it's a heart for Him and His people. Sometimes all you need is a listening ear. You don't have to have all the words. You just need to be present. God's Spirit will do the heavy lifting. Forgiving One Another This last piece of this verse is one that can be very difficult for us, and that is "forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you." The Greek word that Paul uses here means to send away a debt, to release someone from a debt. What he's actually saying is, when you talk about forgiving,...Kindness, Compassion and Forgiveness in Biblical Community Read the transcript from today's video devotional.

A Job That Requires Attention If you've ever been in charge of keeping track of a count, or something that just keeps changing, you know it's significant to have to pay attention or put something in place so you can constantly navigate those changes. You have to pay attention to it to make sure it's accurate and you know exactly what's going on. Something similar to that is our hair. Some of us pay more attention to our hair than others, and that's okay. I love this fact — according to the American Academy of Dermatology, most people naturally shed 50 to 100 strands of hair per day. You're probably wondering where we're going with this, but bear with me. 50 to 100 strands is what we lose per day. The average scalp has over 100,000 follicles, so losing that amount per day represents only 1% of all the hair we have. You're probably wondering why in the world we're talking about this. Well, it fits perfectly through the lens of today's Verse of the Day. That's why I was mentioning the hair. As He brings in the sparrows, because He talks about them in the context of this passage, He says that God knows when even one sparrow falls to the ground. Sparrows Are Everywhere I'm sure you've observed sparrows. We have a sparrow nesting in one of our planters out on our front porch. We have another sparrow nesting in our back area on our deck. Sparrows are all over the place. If we had a bald eagle building a nest in one of our planters, that would be newsworthy. A sparrow, they're all over the place. That's just like our hair — we don't really pay attention to it unless we start developing a bald spot, right? All of a sudden it's like, "Oh no, I'm losing more than what I'm gaining. I'm developing a bald spot now." Then we start paying attention. Details We Overlook, God Doesn't Before that, we probably don't pay attention to what hair we're losing or gaining until something like that happens. How amazing is this verse — something that we don't actually pay attention to until it develops into a problem, or what we deem to be a problem, God actually pays attention to all of the details, even to the number of hairs on your head. That's just crazy, especially when we're talking about sparrows that are all over the place. We're not talking about something rare or hard to see. Even when there's a plethora of sparrows, He knows when one falls to the ground. Imagine the significance of knowing this fact that Jesus is saying, and relate that to something even more significant going on in your life right now — something you think maybe God doesn't hear, doesn't know about, or doesn't care about. I would just encourage you with this verse: Jesus Himself is talking about how much He cares and how much He knows about you, to greater detail than we even know about ourselves. He Knows What You're Going Through Whatever complicated situation, whatever is going on in your life that you can't navigate or don't know how to navigate — just know that if God knows the details of the count of the hair on your head and cares about the sparrow, He cares about what you're going through right now. He understands. He knows the details behind it. Because He cares so much, because He knows that much detail — more than, quite frankly, most of us care to know. A lot of people may not care how many hairs specifically they have on their head, but God knows and God cares. If He cares that much, how much more does He care about the bigger things you're going through today? I would just ask you to trust Him with it, knowing He cares even about the details, the small things. Bring those to Him today.

A Treasure Worth More Than Gold A treasure map is valuable because of where it leads. Much like wisdom in the Bible, the wisdom of God leads us to life's greatest treasures, and ultimately, God's wisdom is far greater and more valuable than even gold. Our verse speaks to this tremendous wisdom, this great wisdom that we have in the Bible. The True Treasure: Jesus Christ In 1 Corinthians chapter 2 and verse 9, Paul is reminding the Corinthians of his ministry: he doesn't rely on his own eloquence, his gift of gab, or human wisdom. His central message is Jesus Christ, and Him crucified — verses 1 and 2. Jesus Christ is the treasure Paul is pointing to. In verses 3 to 5, he basically says: I didn't come with a big ego. I came in weakness. I came in fear. I came in humility. Why? Because I trusted God's power above my own innate, apparent gifting. In 1 Corinthians chapter 2 and verse 9, Paul shows that human wisdom falls short. This is what the Scriptures mean when they say no eye has seen, no ear has heard — God's wisdom comes to you and me only when God gives it to us. This is not naturally attainable. Romans chapter 3 says there's no one who seeks God. The Epitome of Human Wisdom The main point again of verses 1 to 5 is this: we don't rest our faith on human wisdom — we rest it on God's power. Think about the blind rulers of that time. How do we know they didn't have the wisdom of God? Paul says in chapter 2 and verse 8, right before the Verse of the Day, that the rulers of this age crucified the Lord of glory. That's the epitome of human wisdom. Who are the ones who cannot receive or know the wisdom of God? Those who perceive and pursue worldly wisdom, worldly wealth, worldly attainments, power, and status rather than the Lord Jesus Christ. Human wisdom falls woefully short. God's Spirit Reveals Truth Who are the ones who can know real wisdom? Who are the ones who know God's wisdom? Those people, the Bible says, are the ones who are spiritual — those who have received the Spirit of God. Right there in verse 6, a few verses before the Verse of the Day, it says we do speak a wisdom among the mature, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. We know that the Spirit of God has the things of God, and He reveals them to us. In fact, the Spirit of God authored the Scripture — 2 Peter chapter 1 and verse 21. Applying This Wisdom Let's try to apply this and bring it home. First, pursue spiritual maturity by relying on the Spirit of God. Romans chapter 6: "But you, by the Spirit, put to death the deeds of the body, so that you may live." Paul said it in Ephesians chapter 1: "I pray in the Spirit." He prayed for spiritual wisdom and understanding. It says all over the Bible, in this same context, that those who have received the truth of the Scriptures are those who are filled with the Spirit of God. In John chapter 16 and verse 13, Jesus said He — speaking of the Spirit — will guide you into all truth. Second, rejoice in God's eternal wisdom. That comes by the work of the Spirit of God. If you know Christ today — if I know Him — and if you're learning what the Scriptures truly mean, the Spirit of God is giving you the understanding to attain this. Third and finally, anchor your life in God's eternal purpose. You and I need to base our lives on something immovable, something unchangeable — Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. You and I have the Word of God, which is forever. May we not have human wisdom, but true wisdom — the true road map which yields the ultimate treasure: the Lord Jesus Christ, now and in the future, when we're with Him in heaven forever.

Why Community Matters Everybody knows how beautiful it is when we find a community that we can be a part of. Some of us are in a season right now where that may not feel readily or regularly available in our lives, and we have a deficiency that we operate in simply because we don't have people surrounding us. There are others who, in certain seasons, have had times of transition where we've had to leave a community. It's been heartbreaking to know that the people who've been a part of our lives — who have supported us and encouraged us and poured into us — are now being left behind as we move into a new season. I give you these scenarios because community matters probably more than we even give it credit for. We're Not Meant to Walk Alone I think all throughout the Scriptures there is something that's reaffirmed that I find vitally important for the follower of Jesus, even in a contemporary time: we are not meant to walk out the Christian life on our own. I know that might even sound a little bit unique to our ears, because of how a lot of us have learned to talk about our devotion to God. We think about our quiet times, and it's usually about us alone with the Bible, learning from and communing with God. Maybe we think about our personal relationship with Him. We think about our personal devotions that we spend time learning from, and all of those things, hear me say, are vitally important. If we're not careful, though, the way that we talk about our faith can creep into individualism in a way that it was never intended to be. The reason I tell you that is we are meant to benefit from the brothers and sisters in the faith who surround our lives. I actually am strengthened and built up by brothers and sisters in Christ — some who are older, some who are younger, some who I would call peers, some that I watch from afar. It's a beautiful thing, the way that God has developed and designed our lives to live in rhythm with one another. Helping Others Where We Are Strong The faith journey has always been meant to be more communal than I think we give it credit for. In today's Verse of the Day, Romans chapter 15 and verse 2, we see this directly stated: "We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord." We should want to help others who are in our community. Those who are around us should benefit from the places where we are strong. The verse right before this talks about that idea — that there is strength some of us have developed over time. When we have a strength, we should be seeking to use that strength for the people who need it in the community around us. Carrying the Load There's one silly idea that I think probably a lot of us could relate to, and you've probably been asked to help in this area and maybe haven't been super excited about it. That's right — it's when somebody's moving, and you get that call to come alongside and help them get some furniture from the top floor down into the truck, or maybe help somebody move a piece of furniture from one room to another. That's not always a fun call to get, but who usually gets that call? Well, it's usually going to be somebody who's got a little bit of strength — probably some muscles. They're the ones who are getting called upon regularly to help carry the load. What if that were true spiritually as well? What if we, who have resources and ability and strength in our faith that have come through time and maturity, have the chance to come alongside other people who might benefit from those areas of strength we've developed over time? What if God actually intended that we would work together in rhythm so that we could serve one another in community?...Using Our Strength to Build Others Up Read the transcript from today's video devotional.

Do You Enjoy Your Work? Do you enjoy your work? I'm not just talking about your job or your career, but also work you do around the house or home, or for family or friends, or church. Do you enjoy your work? It's interesting, because there are consistent studies that indicate people are actually happier and more satisfied in the work that they do because of who they work for or with than because of what they actually have to do for their work. I'd love to have a little bit of that lens going into the rest of the day. I had some things prepared, and I'm going to shift, because I just believe this morning God gave me something significant to share with you. It was just really impactful for my heart as I was considering this verse. Work in the Time of Paul In the context of this passage, just a couple verses before, he is talking to husbands, wives and children. Then this verse is coupled in as he's actually addressing bond servants in the church of Colossae at the time. What's interesting is that it's reported and estimated that in the Roman Empire at the time, one out of every three people were in some kind of servitude or slave role. That's significant — one out of three people could closely identify when he shifted from family dynamics to bond servants. The Apostle Paul and others actually referred to themselves as bond servants to Christ. That's why, in the context of this passage, it's so significant to understand that time period. Please understand, the work that people did during that time was not like it is today, where it's about advancement, buying a house or doing this or that. At that time, it was simply to survive. You didn't really have a choice of who you worked for. They pretty much had to take anything to be able to get food on the table, to have clothing, to survive — to just get by. Now we bring it into our context, and we look at this verse and other things through the context of our lives and the situations that we have. When God Shut the Doors I have to say, there was a time in my life when this verse became so personal to me. This was many, many years ago, but I was in a very, very difficult work situation, and I dreaded going to work. I was pleading with God to open some other door, and it just wasn't happening. It became so clear that God was shutting all of the doors. I have to tell you, it was one of the most powerful, impactful times of my life in my relationship with Christ. Because my back was against a wall, it became about literally living out this verse. I had to realize that I had to step into something greater than my work, than what I did and my performance in life being predicated or dictated by whomever I was working for or with. All of a sudden, the presence of God and my relationship with Christ became the biggest dynamic driving that. God revealed these things to me, and it was the most powerful season. I started realizing that I didn't have to be controlled by those kinds of influences and dynamics in my life as I allowed God to be the One I worked for on a continual basis. From the Curse to Serving Our King Now, catch this. This is the part that just completely blew me away this morning. Something else opened up with this verse. The moment that sin entered the world, God told Adam and Eve — if you look at the context of what He told them as part of the curse of our sin — that both of them would have to labor hard in their roles. They would have to work very, very hard because of their sin. The other element — the powerful side of this verse — is when it says to work this way, even if you're a bond servant or something else. Think about that. What he is also relaying is that instead of this original sin curse of working and laboring...Working for the Lord Read the transcript from today's video devotional.

Do you ever come across one of those verses in the Bible where you read it and you go, "Is that really true?" It makes you a little bit uncomfortable because it seems to go against what you thought you believed about God's Word and who He is. Right? Those verses, like what Jesus says in John chapter 14, that you'll do greater things in Him and you go, "Certainly I can't do greater things than the Son of God." Well, today's Verse of the Day used to be one of those verses for me. It comes from 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 and verse 14. Paul writes this: "He called you to salvation when we told you the good news. Now you can share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ." Can We Share in God's Glory? Has anybody ever told you that you can share in the Lord's glory? Has anybody ever encouraged you to lean into that promise? Maybe if you hadn't read this verse before, you would find that person to be going against God's Word. But it's actually in here that we can share in God's glory. It feels like all the sermons and the worship songs and the Christian community we've been a part of has said the same thing over and over: "Only God deserves the glory." So how can we say that and also read a verse like this that says to share in the Lord's glory? Well, we need to understand what God's glory is. Before we jump in too far, I want to explain the original word. In the Greek, it's the word doxa, and this word means splendor. It means renown and it means honor. When we think of the glory of God, it's these majestic characteristics that He holds. I love the word in the Old Testament. It's the word kabod, and it generally is used in the same way. But the root word is actually the word weightiness. When we think about God's glory, there's a true weightiness to what that means. Two Things to Be Aware Of Before we get too tied into this idea of taking God's glory upon ourselves, we need to use those words and begin to unpack what Paul is actually encouraging of the church. There's two things that we need to be aware of that we see in this verse. The first is in that first half of the verse he says, "He called you to salvation when we told you the good news." This part is really important. If this doesn't happen, the second part can't happen. God's glory is a result of God working. We live in a culture that encourages you to build yourself up, to go and make your own path, to find your own way. Yet all of that glory will fall away when Jesus makes a new heaven and a new earth. True, weighty, everlasting glory is only a result of when God's Spirit is at work in you. If you want to experience this verse in your life, it begins with opening yourself up to the ways that God wants to move in your life. It means allowing God to go to the deep, dark parts of your soul to say, "God, search me and know me. Uncover all of the things that aren't of your glorious splendor, and take those away and allow Your Spirit to transform me." Our Glory Is a Reflection of God's Glory Then we read the second half of the verse. Paul says, "Now you can share in the glory," and some translations actually use the word obtain. You can obtain the glory of Jesus. What I want to point out in this is that by nature of salvation, our glory is a reflection of God's glory. See, when we're saved, passages like Galatians chapter 2 and verse 20 tells us that we've actually died to ourselves, and it's no longer we who live but Christ who lives in us. Meaning, as glory begins to find its way into our lives, it's not us. These are the moments that our old selves are being chipped away, and Christ's character...Share in the Glory of Jesus Christ Read the transcript from today's video devotional.
