From The Rising Of The Sun

God’s Word teaches us the importance of praise and thankfulness regardless of our circumstances. In this three-day study, Kristy Graham, host of the podcast On the Ground with Samaritan’s Purse, dives into Scripture to look at how believers are called to live a life filled with gratitude even in the midst of the pain, challenges, or heartache you are facing. 

Living a Life of Gratitude

It’s tempting to think that we need to hide our hurts behind polite spirituality. But God invites us to be honest with him when we’re in pain. Voicing our heartache gives way to hope. This devotional plan walks you through the biblical pathway of lament, enabling you to pray through your pain as you cling to God’s promises. 

Getting Honest With God: Learn the 4 Practices of Lament

The Psalms are passages that show us how to truly delight in the God we serve, love and worship, even in the midst of chaos and pain. In this plan we reflect on some of our favorite Psalms and are, once again, reminded of God's faithfulness to us. 

Real Hope: The Psalms

This is a 7-day plan that runs through verses in Psalm 103. Psalm 103 is the “Mount Everest” of the Bible. If you have struggled to see God as a big, loving, merciful, and good God, this plan is for you. He is real and loves you more than you could imagine. Through this Psalm, David helps us see the benefits of a good and real God.  

The Benefits Of A Real And Good God

The word psalm is derived from the Hebrew word tehillim, which means “praises," and the Greek word psallein, which means “to pluck.” Thus, Psalms is a collection of poetry sung with stringed instruments. The book records the poets' naked emotions––joy, sorrow, or anger––in the high and low seasons of their life. As John Calvin described it, reading Psalms is like looking into a mirror and seeing our own hearts.

Through the Bible: Psalms

Do your ever feel overwhelmed by shame? 

Perhaps you failed and made a huge mistake. Maybe you did something which hurt someone you love dearly. 

In the Psalms, we find a deep resource to navigate our shame and even overcome it! In this 3-day reading plan, Scott Savage shares how the Psalms equipped him to overcome shame.

Overcoming Shame With the Psalms

Psalm 23 is one of the most well-known psalms. If you grew up in Sunday school, every verse was a memory verse and when you hear the start of verse 
1 – ‘The Lord is my shepherd’ – for some, the rest of the psalm just rolls off the tongue because it’s so familiar. However, we all know that familiarity sometimes brings loss of meaning. As we dissect this psalm verse by verse in this plan, we pray that it won’t just be familiar but that it will take on new depth and new meaning in your life.
