1/23/26 In His Hands

Although Father God has given us a stewardship of our wife and children, He asks us to turn them over to Him for their safe keeping. He is ultimately responsible for their best interests. We are responsible to give them and their needs to Him.

Foolish stewards look to their own strength and wisdom to protect and guide their charges. They personally take on their responsibility, instead of placing everything in God’s hands. Wise stewards, knowing that they are, in themselves, incapable of taking care of the needs of their marriage and family, give everything over to God.

Think for a moment of that exchange. Attempting to navigate the perils of this life with our weak, limited capabilities, or giving those perils over to an almighty God, capable of providing everything we need. Which is true wisdom? It’s really a no brainer. Why then do we attempt the first option almost every day of our lives?

1/22/26 Be Still and Know

“I am a God of the impossible! There is nothing too hard for Me. If you really believed that you would take your hands off your worries. You would lay down your concerns and submit them to Me. You would believe My Word. You would trust Me to do what I have covenanted to do for you. I am God and there is no other. I have created everything and own everything. Nothing is impossible for Me. Trust Me. I love you!”

Psalm 46:10 NIV

Be still, and know that I am God...

Psalm 111:2 NIV

Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them.

Isaiah 31:1 AMP

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses and trust in chariots because they are many and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they look not to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek and consult the Lord!

It is so easy to forget the promises of God. It is so easy to bring God down to our level with all of its overwhelming concerns and helpless situations, instead of remembering Who He really is. I can so easily praise God with my lips and my hands raised, and in the next moment deny Who He is as I focus on my circumstances.

Teach me to praise You by honoring Who You really are, Lord,

1/22/26 Hold Nothing, Have Everything

The world chases after possessions. They’re some of the gods we serve, whether we know it or not. Most of us men go to work to gain possessions of some sort, whether it’s bigger houses, cars, clothes - anything we need more than we need intimacy with God.

Some possessions are necessities; others are the enemy’s way of keeping us distracted and so busy that we have little time for God. An example of that would be you and your wife working harder or longer to afford the mortgage payment on a bigger house.

God’s priority is an intimate relationship with Him. Anything that minimizes or distracts from that relationship is out of His will. It is not of Him and should either be eliminated or minimized to its proper place in God’s eyes. If we hold on to anything – money, fame, material wealth, status, etc. - we lose more than we know. If we let go in our hearts of whatever it is that distracts us, we will gain the fullness of God. That fullness is everything. Holding on to nothing of this world in our hearts allows us to grasp the wonder of Who God really is and what He has done. That is true wealth! Are you ready to let go?

1/21/26 Trained for the Season

“Some of you are becoming submissive enough to My Word and My heart that I can use you. You will soon be able to be a faithful friend to someone else. I will be able to trust you with one of My fragile hearts. I will also be able to trust you with special missions that need attention in My church. Too often I have given assignments, only to see them in need of repair when those I trusted chose not to follow My heart. That will not happen with you. You have proven your faithfulness. You have submitted to My will and have chosen My ways above yours many times. I have trained you for this end-time season. I am now about to move through you. Let’s enjoy this season together. I love you with a pure Father’s love. You are safe with Me as We move together.”

Amos 3:3 KJV

“Can two walk together except they be agreed?”

John 20:21 AMP

Then Jesus said to them again, Peace be to you! [Just] as the Father has sent me forth, so I am sending you.

Gal. 4:19 NIV

My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you...

I believe that in the near future God is going to call upon those who have been in training to do some very important work. That is why so many sold-out believers have been going through times of great pressure. Seasons that are important to the Lord call for trustworthy people, who are completely obedient to God and totally dead to themselves.

Don’t wimp out. Embrace the trials that you are going through for the refiner’s fires that they are. The Lord is not only with you through them, but He desires to use you because you have been made more like Jesus because of them. That is why you are where you are. Love deeper. Forgive more. Submit to the Lord and crave intimacy with Father God. You will make it. It will be worth it. You are valuable and are being raised up for such a time as this.

Let’s go for it, Lord,

1/21/26 The Turning Point

In all of our lives, there are decisions, milestones, intersections, and crossroads that determine direction for us and our families. They have either a positive or negative impact on those around us, depending on our spiritual maturity. As men, we are to guide the ones we steward with the wisdom we gain in fellowship with our Father and by the power of the Holy Spirit. The closer we are to the Lord and the more we listen to His counsel, the better our loved ones will fare.

In every life, there are at least two turning points, specific times when our life direction and our priorities change. The first is the decision to make Jesus the Lord over everything in our lives. That decision brings the most important relationship possible to our lives and sets us on a new and wonderful direction with God as our Father, Jesus as our Lord, and the Holy Spirit as our guide.

The second most important turning point is the one in which we determine in our hearts to walk in the kingdom of heaven with God in Christ while on this earth. That decision sets us on a course to overcome all the hazards and challenges the world has to offer. Although we have been made spiritual beings through submission to the Lordship of Christ, most of us walk with one foot in the world, listening and functioning in the atmosphere of flesh and blood, and one foot attempting to follow God. We are spiritual beings in a physical world, attempting to listen to both sides of every issue that arises.

This second turning point - the decision to follow only God, walk as Jesus walked on this earth, and listen only to His Father’s heart - sets us free. Although we remain in the world, when we choose to function in the kingdom of heaven’s spiritual atmosphere with its limitless power, eternal focus, and perfect direction for this life, nothing can touch us. We become immune to the hazards of this world, and embraced by everything God is and has done through the cross of Christ. We become spiritual beings who are focused on the spiritual world we belong in through the work of Jesus. Which kingdom do you choose?
