Praise Goes First | Stand Firm, Part 8
on September 2nd, 2026
Praise is not pretending the battle is not real. It is declaring that the battle is not greater than God. Jehoshaphat sent worshipers ahead of the army, praising God before they had seen the victory, and God moved as they worshiped. If your attention has become consumed by what could go wrong, this devotional is an invitation to put praise back in front.   Read More

Fight From Surrender | Stand Firm, Part 5
on August 28th, 2026

If you have been fighting hard but feeling spiritually exhausted, this devotional is an invitation to surrender what you were never meant to carry alone.   Read More

Put On the Right Armor | Stand Firm, Part 4
on August 27th, 2026
Not everything that makes us feel protected can actually sustain us in battle. David refused Saul’s armor because God had prepared him to fight differently, and Ephesians reminds us that God has given us spiritual armor for spiritual battles. Our strength is not found in control, approval, or human ability, but in what God has already provided. If you have been trying to hold yourself together with the wrong kind of armor, today is an invitation to put on what God has given you.   Read More

Help in Our Weakness | Stand Firm, Part 3
on August 26th, 2026
You do not have to know exactly what to pray for God to meet you in prayer. Romans 8 promises that the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness and intercedes when our own words fall short. Sometimes faith is simply staying close to God when we do not know what comes next. If all you can pray right now is “God, I don’t know what to do,” this devotional is for you.   Read More
