Hello, lovely ladies! Welcome to another edition of Christian daily devotion for women. Today, we're going to talk about how to find joy in the midst of trials. Sounds impossible, right? Well, not with God on our side!
The Bible tells us that we can rejoice in our sufferings, because suffering produces perseverance, perseverance produces character, and character produces hope (Romans 5:3-4). And hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Hol
Do you sometimes feel like nothing is going your way? Do you struggle with doubt, fear, or anxiety about the future? Do you wonder if God has a plan for your life, or if He even cares about you?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this morning devotion is for you. God wants you to know that He loves you, and that He has good things in store for you. He is working behind the scenes, even when you can't see it, to bring about His perfect will for your life. He is faithful, and He w
Have you ever felt like you are missing out on God's blessings in your life? Do you wonder why others seem to have more joy, peace, and abundance than you do? If so, you might be blocking your blessings without even realizing it.
Blocking your blessings means that you are hindering God's work in your life by your own actions, attitudes, or beliefs. You are not allowing God to bless you as He desires, because you are not aligned with His will or His ways.
Some of the common ways that we block our
As you start your week, take a moment to reflect on the following scripture:
"This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." - Psalm 118:24
No matter what challenges you may face this week, remember that God is with you and He will give you the strength to overcome them. Start your week off right by setting your mind on God and His promises. He is good and He loves you.
Here are a few tips for a more motivated Monday:

Learning to live above our circumstances requires a lifelong commitment to God’s Ways and a strong desire to mature and grow in Christ, and even with a degree of success, this countenance is not an easy one to sustain. Abiding under the safety of God’s Wing, as these Psalms so eloquently depict this spiritually sustaining metaphor, is an important key in reaching this life-changing pinnacle. For when we learn to trust Christ Jesus through all of our trials and tribulations

8 This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.--Joshua 1:8, AMPC
"Meditation" is not some super-spiritual occultic practice. It's simply thinking about something over and over, and saying it. We can take what our tendencies to worry, and convert them to po

13 If we are faithless [do not believe and are untrue to Him], He remains true (faithful to His Word and His righteous character), for He cannot deny Himself.--2 Timothy 2:13, AMPC
As the song "Way Maker" says, "Even when we don't see it, He's working...."! Hallelujah!
Only take heed, and guard your life diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen and lest they depart from your [mind and] heart all the days of your life. Teach them to your children an
1 Peter 1:25
“But the word of the Lord endures forever.” Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.
This motivational thought is based on God’s words to the prophet Jeremiah concerning the return of the Jews to Jerusalem after 70 years of Babylonian captivity. Jeremiah said, “This is what the Lord says, ‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” Within its his
So this devotion was birthed out of honesty. This past week, for me, I found myself in a mental space. That was just I don't know how else to put it but overloaded. Okay, so just with everything going on, everything being exposed, I was doing a ton of research, all good things to be researched. You know, doing your research, being informed, asking questions. All of those things are amazing. However, I felt like I had pieces of my mind and this topic and this topic and this one and this

…8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.--Matthew 5:8-9, Berean Study Bible
The LORD our God is the living Word (John 1), and all right thoughts and words come from Him.
Since I was 10 or so, writing stories, and letters and more has come easily to me. It is one of my strongest gifts. However, years ago when I served as a supervisor over several other people, I found one letter very hard

Exodus 3:1-4 “Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of the bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. Then Moses said, ‘I will now turn aside and see this great site, why the bush does not burn.’ So when the Lord s
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. --Psalm 147:3, NIV
Why does my heart hurt? I've asked myself many times through the years. Really, though, I was asking that of God.
Gradually, as I learned more through the years of what the Word of God says, and continued to seek out true Bible-based teaching in churches and online and in books, I realized that my heart hurt because there was so much junk in it--bitterness, unforgiveness, strife, jealousy, fear, doubt, unbelief, sin-consc
So what in the world is faith? Faith is simply acting like God is telling the truth. It's acting like it is so, even when it's not so, in order that it might be so, simply because God said so. And when we learn to move with our feet in faith based on what God has revealed we can see his power change our circumstances.

As Ruth prepared to head to the threshing floor in the middle of the night to speak to Boaz under the cover of darkness. She's all cleaned up, she's got perfume on and she's ready to go. Let's see what happens in Ruth chapter 3. When Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in good spirits, he went over to lie down at the far end of the grain pile. Ruth approached quietly uncovered his feet and lay down in the middle of the night. Something startled the man he turned and there was a woman l
"Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God,
