Israelfɔ Ɩlʋ 31:14

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.

Life is hard and complicated navigating the ups and downs of marriage and parenting. Spend five days with Mary Beth and Steven Curtis Chapman reflecting on their family’s challenges and celebrating the ways that God has equipped and empowered them to persevere. You’ll be encouraged in your own walk as you face trials to seek first the Lord and trust in Him for the same grace to endure.

Each daily reading reveals how being God's mouthpiece gives us an advantage in all areas of our lives. This devotional is based on The Prophetic Advantage by Michelle McClain-Walters.

Missionaries, pastors, and the average Christian will encounter suffering in their lives and the lives of those they love and serve. This devotion is designed to look at real-life stories illustrating how God uses suffering to teach, guide and mold us to be more like Jesus. By God’s grace, we can glorify God as we embrace suffering in our lives, knowing that Jesus willingly laid down His life for us.
