Today, I Choose COURAGE
Standing for your beliefs takes great courage when the world is against you. Yet God continually asks us to stand firm amid adversity, just as young David did when he met Goliath. David knew God was with him. He was bold and brave. He believed God would give him victory over the giant. I long…

Today, I choose REPENTANCE
The Bible says Godly sorrow produces repentance without regret. It’s challenging but necessary to confess our sins before the Lord. True repentance involves a change or conversion in our minds and actions and a genuine sorrow for our sins. As a Catholic, I can tell you I’m scared to go to confession. It’s a humbling…

Today, I Choose Contentment
What’s it like to be content? It’s like freeing yourself from the burden of always wanting more. For a time in my life, I was discontent. I couldn’t make enough money to buy or do everything I wanted. It was always more, more, more. God showed me the error of my ways, and I learned…

Today, I want to talk about our power & authority in Christ!
Christ gave power and authority to the Apostles to heal the sick, cast out demons, and cure diseases in His name. The name of Jesus is our power and authority. Luke chapter 10 says Jesus gave us the power to tread upon serpents and scorpions (demons and evil spirits). We have that same power as…

The Bible states that God is our creator. He is a jealous God, not wanting us to worship other gods. How often, in my past, have I allowed other “gods” in my life? Many times. Whether it is money, prestige, addiction, or shopping, all of it is worshipping other gods. I had been breaking God’s…

What is Mercy? The dictionary describes mercy as an act of kindness, compassion, or favor for someone. God calls us to be merciful to others in Psalm 145:8. “The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in love.” God also tells us in James 2:13, “For the judgment is merciless to one…

Today, I Choose FAITH!
What is Faith? It can be described as the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. To me, faith is an unwavering trust in God. The Bible says in Hebrews 11:1, “Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Mark 11:24, “Therefore, whatever…

Today, I Choose Praise
Can you imagine all the countless times that the Israelites praised God? Their first line of defense in battle was the priests (shofars) carrying the ram’s horns and blowing their horns as praise to God. David did the same thing when he went into battle. First were the shofars with their ram’s horns, praising God,…
