This week, we will discuss suffering. We praise God that Jesus is with us in our suffering, but we will also learn that suffering can actually produce some very spectacular things in a man's life if we lean into Jesus in the midst of our pain. Written by Tim Bergmann.

About This Week's Plan: This week, we'll explore the first three aspects of the Fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, and peace. These foundational qualities form the bedrock of Christian character and reflect God's own nature working within us. Each day, we'll examine what these fruits look like in action, how they're cultivated, and practical ways to express them in our daily lives. Whether you're facing relationship challenges, emotional struggles, or seeking deeper spiritual growth, these devotionals will help you experience the transformative power of God's love, joy, and peace.

The greatest call for Christian moms is to know God and help others know Him, too. The readings in this 8-day plan are selected from the NIV Mom's Devotional Bible, offering encouragement and a wise perspective as you seek to grow in the area of patience and godly character.

As the half brother of Jesus, James knew a side of our Lord that few others did. He ate with Him, slept with Him, played brotherly pranks. He worked alongside Jesus in the carpenter’s shop. He loved his brother. But as is the case in so many families, James was too close to his brother to recognize Him as special. I can only imagine the confusion and embarrassment James felt when his big brother told people He was the Messiah! I can only imagine the shame James carried when his big brother was executed like a common criminal. Then, after Jesus was dead and buried, James saw Him. His brother, whom he loved, stood right before his eyes! James lived out the remainder of his days building the church. We never hear James boasting about his relationship with Jesus. Instead, he refers to himself as Jesus’ servant. He calls his fellow Christians “brothers.” The book of James doesn’t tell us how to become a Christian. Instead, it is a practical how-to guide for Christian living. He tells us to persevere, to stand firm in our faith. He tells us to stop talking about our faith and start living it. He tells us to treat everyone equally and to stop playing favorites, to control our tongues, to seek God for all of life’s answers. James is a no-nonsense kind of guy. So pour yourself a cup of coffee and flavor it just right. Then, sit back and get ready to learn timeless lessons from James 1, the brother of our Lord.
