Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong. They are free from common human burdens; they are not plagued by human ills. Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence. From their callous hearts comes iniquity; their evil imaginations have no limits. They scoff, and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression. Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth. Therefore their people turn to them and drink up waters in abundance. They say, “How would God know? Does the Most High know anything?” This is what the wicked are like— always free of care, they go on amassing wealth. Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure and have washed my hands in innocence. All day long I have been afflicted, and every morning brings new punishments. If I had spoken out like that, I would have betrayed your children.

How do you keep your hope anchored in Christ in the face of so much suffering and injustice in the world? One of our former aid workers shares three testimonies of how God lifted the darkness in three different circumstances while she was serving the most vulnerable on the frontlines. **The photos used for these devotionals are from Medair locations not associated with the stories. **

Looking for purpose? There's one thing keeping you from it: yourself. We create roadblocks from our past. In return, our purpose is flawed from the beginning. But like a mosaic, your purpose is made from the broken pieces. In the Makers & Monsters Devotional Plan, Josh White takes us through the story of David, and how "the man after God's own heart" was also flawed, yet so close to Jesus.
In a world filled with injustice, social unrest, political division, and polarized opinions, what would God have us do? Do we protest and fight injustice, or do we pray and ask God to intervene? Maybe we do both. In this study, we look to God's word for help to live within the tension.
Throughout our walk with Christ, we may find ourselves in a difficult season or having trouble trusting God's guidance. When hardships come, it's easy to question God's purpose. In this five-day reading plan with Lenya Heitzig, follow the psalmist as he navigates life's hardships and difficulties. Even in our darkest times we must learn to find solace in the presence of God and seek sanctuary in the Savior.
