From withdrawing to grieve John the Baptist’s death to feeding thousands, Jesus showed intentionality in His time. By adopting a similar rhythm of rest, prayer, and service, we can minister effectively without burning out.

Paul’s words challenge us to stay close to Christ, close to His church, and confident that God will bring us safely into His Kingdom—where true community will never be broken again.

Paul reflects on the painful departure of Demas, who chose the present world over his faith, highlighting the dangers of being swayed by worldly power and the temptation to abandon Christ.

Imagine the transformation we would see in our communities, our country, and around the world if we, the called of God, would embrace the unity that is possible and was planned before the world was ever created.

When we go to our hiding place with God, he will cover us with his loving arms, remind us of all his promises, and give us the strength and the wisdom to navigate every challenge victoriously.

Sooner or later crisis comes to all of us. Psalm 62 shows us what to do, where to go, whom to seek, when the crisis comes to us.

It’s great to have someone with you to help with the task at hand. But even when we feel alone, we can know God is with us.
