Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Psalms 139:8

When Jesus was tested in the wilderness, a significant part of the enemy’s challenge was to tempt Him to doubt God’s Word and question His own identity. A similar challenge confronts us. This devotional plan helps us to arm ourselves for the challenges of the wilderness and realign our thinking with biblical truth. Our most powerful weapon is the Word!

Limits and boxes have always been part of the human experience from the very beginning, and therefore should not be an issue of unnecessary concern to us. The key is recognizing we have limits, but if we engage with God’s timeless truth and His relentless purpose for our lives, we can live so well within those limits that it seems like we’re living beyond them. We can go beyond what we think is possible if we stay within the God-designed boxes of our lives. He can do more with us and through us in a box, than we can do on our own, outside of the box!

Ever feel tired of pretending to be someone you’re not? Even though I spent much of my life acting on stage, in real life, the pressure to perform became exhausting.

My hope is that these words will become God’s clarion call to your heart, inviting you to shine for the glory of the Bright Morning Star.

We all have questions. These questions often lead us on a quest to seek the right answer. We want to explore the 7 Frequently Asked Questions and seek answers based on the Bible.

Our prayer is that you will treasure a deep relationship of TRUST in Jesus.  

In this 7-day reading plan, Beth Moore uses questions from Scripture to lead you into intimacy with the One who knows you best. The crooked punctuation mark at the end of a sentence speaks of curiosity, interest, and perhaps doubt. A question is an invitation to vulnerability, to intimacy. The Bible does not shy away from such an invite. Over and over we see the people of God asking questions of their Creator. We also see the God of the universe asking questions of His creation. The Quest is a challenge to accept the invitation.  Learn to dig into the Word, to respond to the questions of God, and to bring your questions before Him. Let the crooked punctuation mark be the map that points you into a closer relationship with the Father.

Do you want the kind of trust that overcomes the world—an unblinded, unflinching, unshakeable faith?
