We all have a common denominator. We will die. I will die. You will die. Death will defeat you. You won’t be able to dodge it, sidestep it, trick it or make it disappear.

Discipleship works against fear. As we obey God’s commands, we entrust ourselves to him. Like the students attending the schools founded by D. L. Moody in Northfield, MA, God’s people “are encouraged to test the meaning and value of the Bible’s teachings experimentally, by acting upon them, and living them out.” As we “test experimentally” the word of God, we will find that we will have fewer and fewer reasons to be afraid.

What if everything that has happened to you has prepared you for your greatest days? Psalm 23 says God leads us in paths of righteousness. The Hebrew word for path carries the idea of "paths made of circles."

This devotional, based on the book Connecting the Dots, looks at how to identify God's work in every season of life and see how he has prepared us with a mission and message. God really is working all things together for the good of those who love him.

The Bible repeatedly reminds us that God reaches out to us. Join us for this 6-day devotional about the importance of the Presence of God in our lives.
