Devotion on Attitude, Christian Life, 1 Corinthians 1:26–29. 1 page.

For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God (1 Corinthians 1:26–29).

"I have been guilty of comparing myself to others’ goals, accomplishments, and so much more. I feel as though I need to be a certain someone, to reach a certain goal, before I can be proud of who I am."

Raising Children Who Love Jesus

Devotion on Family, Trust, Proverbs 3:5–6. 2 pages. 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths (Proverbs 3:5–6). 

Becoming a parent is a wonderful blessing and the start of a crazy journey filled with lots of twists and turns along the way. On every step along this path, God is with us. On this journey, because there are situations where both parents and children are faced with the unknown, parents are led by the Holy Spirit to trust in God and not on their own understanding. I know on my own journey, my biggest prayer is that my three children would love Jesus and follow Him. I’ve had to trust in God to help me show my children what it means to love and follow Him.

On Solid Ground: Living & Sharing Jesus’ Victory

Devotion on Trust, 1 Corinthians 15:57. 2 pages. 

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57).

As the Holy Spirit leads us through Word and Sacrament to know the truth of God’s Word and to know we stand on solid ground through faith in Him, He enables us to better live out this truth. There is no grand formula to be shared. It’s simply that we trust in the Word and promise of God to be exactly what it says it is: a life-giving Word and promise.

Devotion on Christian Living, Service, Galatians 5:13b. 1 page.

Through love serve one another (Galatians 5:13b).

Do you ever think it’s a burden to be a Christian? All those things God commands us to do, all those things people expect us to do, can really wear us out. Is being a Christian really supposed to be like that?

Compassionate Caring

Devotion on Encouragement, Care-giving, Ephesians 5:1–2. 2 pages.

Compassionate Caring Devotion

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God (Ephesians 5:1–2). 

Too often people think compassionate care is a twenty-four hour, seven day a week commitment. In reality, giving even an hour per week can be a tremendous blessing to someone with a chronic illness who is homebound or in a nursing home.
