Inspiration for Today – Discovering Destiny. Overcoming Darkness.
BECAUSE OF HIM…
“In many ways, we all live in a world of why’s. All you have to do is turn on the news for a few seconds. Whether it’s the coming elections or the violence in Israel and Ukraine, division, chaos, and strife seem to hem us in at every turn…”

THROUGH WILDERNESS DAYS…

WHEN DAYS GROW DARK…
“Retail and postal workers can all testify that gifts have taken priority this month. But there is something about the pressure of material demands that can leave us with so much less. Less time, less energy, and less peace of mind…”

WHEN WINDS GROW COLD…
“‘Gather’ is a word that gets used a lot this year, but it doesn’t hit us all the same way. It warms the heart of some with the anticipation of treasured holiday celebrations. To some, it creates pressure…”

WHEN YOU’VE LOST YOUR SPARK…
“This is a time of year that sends a lot of us searching for costumes. Because even in the innocence of childhood it is easy to fall in love with the idea of being someone – anyone – else…”

WHEN THE WORLD LEADS YOU OFF-COURSE…
“No matter how good our intentions, it’s all too easy to find ourselves on the wrong road.

WHEN THE WORLD DISTRACTS…
“As back-to-school season approaches, the gift of education awaits reopening by countless children. And there are countless expectations that go along with that. Supply lists, outfits and shoes, sports physicals, class assignments.

WHEN ARROWS FLY…
“We all want something to believe in.
And when skies are fair, it’s easy to look up at the light warming our faces and feel secure.
But when storm clouds rumble and harsh winds sting, it’s amazing how shaken we can feel.
When the destination we searched for our entire lives fails to appear after following the guide who should have led us there.
When authorities bring criminal charges against the friend we trusted the most.
When a messenger tells us our children have perished…”
