“Daily Time with God” | Erica Houston | James 4:8 | October 9, 2022
Is setting aside daily time with God a challenge for you? Make it a choice! Vacation time doesn’t come by accident. It’s a choice to schedule the getaway and book the destination. Set a time and gather what you need to have time with God. Like a vacation, sit yourself away from the daily duties or distractions. Find a spot where you don’t see that pile of dishes or clothes to be put away. For my husband, it’s usually in his favorite recliner that has a basket with his Bible and journal right beside him. When will your daily time with God take place? Where is that setting where you can recharge each day? Decide and start this practice.

“Be Still: Incorporating Stillness and Solitude in your Devotions” | Greg Faulls | Psalm 46:10 | October 10, 2022
Today, for just a few short minutes, get somewhere quiet where you will not be distracted. Open your Bible to Psalm 46:10 and slowly read that verse. Then take one minute to simply be silent before the LORD. Sense His presence and know by faith that He is with you. After the minute of silence read and think on Psalm 46:10 one more time. Then start your day.

Do It:
“Here Am I, Send Me” | Kyle Watkins | October 15, 2022
Pray like Isaiah, “Here am I, send me,” and then spend today looking for individuals and situations for whom God may be calling you to serve others. Our calling to serve doesn’t have to be a “big,” elaborate opportunity, but oftentimes is simply helping someone in need or sharing Christ with someone. Look for and serve in those opportunities today.

“The Power of Praise” | Kamlen Hoakip | October 16, 2022
When troubles, trials, and tribulations begin to surround you, take Hope in God’s Power and turn your heart to find Praise for the God who loves you and is fighting for you. Is there something troubling you now? Praise Him for His power over that situation and move forward with a newfound peace and trust.
