One Verse Devotional

Today’s One Verse in Philippians 1:6 reminds us that God finishes what He starts. He began a good work in your life, but God didn’t take off, hoping everything would work out. He didn’t leave us alone to figure things out. No, God promises to be with us every step of the way. He started something beautiful in your life, and He promises to work in us until that good work is completed. We can have confidence in this.

Have you ever cried out to God, only to feel like He wasn’t listening? This is exactly how the writer of Psalm 102 felt. It was tried and weak. He needed help. If this is where you are at in life, I encourage to make Psalm 102 your prayer. God isn’t ignoring you. When you need Him, don’t stop calling His name.

How do we unlock the promises of God? In our free course, Jump Start Your Year, we learned that many of God’s promises are made real by simply spending time with Him and delighting in His relationship. But how do we develop this relationship? John 14:23 gives us the answer: When we obey the teachings of Jesus, God will make a home with us. Obeying Jesus = A deeper relationship with God = His promises in our lives. The One Verse Devotional Bible study is provided by Phosphorus Project.

We all have a voice in our head that wants to tell us that we are not enough. It wants to tell us that we are defined by our past, our mistakes, and our sin. This voice is a lie.

Known as the “Man after God’s own heart”, David also made a lot of mistakes. Yet, in Psalm 26, he says that he has lived a blameless life. How? Because David understood the power of God’s Grace.

Just as the moon reflects the light of the sun, Jesus has invited us to reflect His Light to a dark world. This isn’t about religion: rules and guidelines to make sure you’re in good standing with God. This is a relationship, and Jesus wants us to take part in His mission of Love.

Even Jesus didn’t live life alone. Jesus appointed 12 disciples. He also had His inner three, and a best friend in John. If Jesus, Himself, didn’t try to do things on His own, why do we?

“Every genuine expression of love grows out of a consistent and total surrender to God.” -Martin Luther King, Jr. (Christmas sermon | Montgomery, Alabama, 1957) #MLKDay #love

If you could ask God for one request, what would it be? In Psalm 27, David says that he only has one thing that he would ask of God: that he would dwell in the House of the Lord all the days of his life. Is that what you would ask for? Yeah, me either. But David demonstrates a lot of wisdom in this One Verse. It all comes down to relationship. David doesn’t just want to hang out in church (the temple) his whole life. He wants to dwell with God. He wants God to spend time with him. So, what is David’s one request? That he would know God, and that God would know him. What a great focus to have in 2018, as well.

Holy doesn’t mean perfect. Yes, we are called to be holy, but that doesn’t mean that we have to live perfect lives. God didn’t set the bar so high that we can never reach it. Holy simply means to be “set apart for God”. So, when Moses is standing on “holy” ground at the burning bush or the God says the city of Jericho has been consecrated (same word for holy in Hebrew), it’s not saying that these things are perfect. It is saying they are set apart. This is how we are supposed to live our lives: set apart from the world and to God. Our lives will look different. We will act and react differently than what culture might expect. Why? We belong to God. The One Verse Devotional Bible study is provided by Phosphorus Project.

Do you have financial or career goals for 2018? The first question you must answer is not “Can I make more money?” or “How can I get more clients or customers?”. No, the first question you must answer is: “Do I trust God to provide?” God has promised to take care of His people. Do we trust that He will stick by His Word?

I have been giving a lot of thought to what I would like to accomplish in 2018. But goals aren’t enough. I’ve seen a lot of years end (including 2017!) where I had totally missed my goals. This year, I have two focuses that will help achieve my goals: Discipline and seeking wise counsel. They may not sound flashy, but Proverbs 19:20 reminds us of their importance.

Goodbye, 2017! I don't know about you, but I was ready to part ways. Now, it's time to say, "Hello, 2018!" I am really excited about the coming year and some plans I have for Phosphorus Project and the One Verse Devotional podcast. I hope you'll join me!

God’s creation is beautiful. It is perfect and wonderfully made. From the oceans to the mountains, we don’t need to look far to see the wonder of God’s creation. Yet, many of us struggle with what we see in the mirror. But, you (yes, you!) are God’s creation. That means YOU are perfect and beautiful and wonderful.

A lot of times, it’s easy to wonder where we stand with God. What does He think of us? Or we struggle with knowing His will. But John 14:23 actually gives us a very simple step to take so we don’t have to wonder where we stand with God or what he wants us to do. Check it out...
