Remember: God can’t lift an unbowed head.

Whoa, what a powerful visual.

When we keep looking at outcomes we think are best and we become fixated on the idea that our vision for our future is the only good one, our necks become stiff from all that straining. But if we bow our heads in humility, we are in the right position for God to lift us up and point us in the direction He knows is best.

Bowing instead of running.
Bowing instead of fixing.
Bowing instead of trying to make sense of stuff that may never make sense in my limited human mind.
Bowing instead of resisting Him.
Bowing instead of distrusting Him.
Bowing when things seem to be turning around.
Bowing when things fall apart again.

And bowing when the suffering makes me wonder about the goodness of God.

I never realized suffering can actually be a sign that God is leading us in the exact right direction: toward redemption. Suffering isn’t a pitfall preventing our redemption. Suffering isn’t proof that we should doubt God’s goodness. Suffering doesn’t mean that trusting God is too risky.

Suffering is our reminder to stay closer to God than ever before and not to resist His leading.

God’s way is the right way no matter how confusing it gets along the way. And God’s time is the right time no matter how untimely it seems to us.

Thank you, Jesus, for staying with us no matter what.

Jesus said in Matthew 5, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”

This Verse must be for me today! Now let’s be honest — that’s not easy. It’s hard enough to love the people we like… much less the ones who rub us the wrong way. But Jesus reminds us why: because that’s how our Heavenly Father loves. He sends sunshine and rain on everyone. His grace isn’t selective.

So today, instead of replaying what someone said… instead of holding onto that frustration… try this: pray for them. You don’t have to feel love to start praying. But prayer has a way of changing your heart. And when your heart changes, your peace returns.

That’s real freedom. That’s real hope. Ricky

“Only 20% of us came out alive. And when I was free I knew I had work to do...

Betsie would say to me,

‘Corrie, we must go over the world because we have a message from experience that the LIGHT of JESUS Christ is STRONGER than the DEEPEST DARKNESS!’

Together, with Jesus, I am stronger than the devil. We stand on victory ground because, Jesus is Victor!” ❤️

a strong but honest truth: If you love the Lord… you won’t be comfortable with evil. Loving God isn’t just a feeling. It changes what you allow, what you excuse, and what you walk away from.

You start noticing things you used to overlook.
You feel conviction where you once felt nothing.
You begin to desire what honors Him.

And here’s the promise attached to that kind of love:

“He guards the lives of His faithful ones delivers them from the hand of the wicked.”

When you choose God’s way over the world’s way, you’re not walking alone. You’re walking protected. Guarded. Delivered.

Today, let your love for God shape your choices. Because loving Him changes what you tolerate—and invites His protection over your life.

Titus 1:15-16 (NIV)

To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.

I think on some level all of us struggle with this whole “getting healthy” thing.

I’ve been learning recently that we aren't made to get stuck in a state of defeat and just give up when it comes to our weight. We were made to walk in victory. This doesn't mean these paths won't be riddled with struggles that we'll need to learn to overcome. They will. But, the lessons learned though overcoming are some of God's greatest gifts.

For some of us, having a weight issue is simply an outside indication of an internal struggle. Just like debt for the over-spender or an overstuffed house for a hoarder.

Today I want to take steps toward victory. Don’t you? Whether we're on the path of victory or defeat is determined by the very next choice we make. May it be that of an overcomer.

Life can feel heavy. The news is overwhelming, and sometimes it seems like trouble is all around us. Yet David reminds us to sing of God’s strength—not just when life is easy, but especially in the morning, at the start of a new day, when we choose to focus on His love. God is our fortress—a safe place we can run to. He is our refuge—a shelter when storms rage.

Singing isn’t just about music; it’s about choosing to lift our hearts and minds to God, declaring His power and love over our lives.

Today, when fear or stress tries to take hold, sing to Him—out loud or in your heart—and remember: no matter the trouble, God is stronger, and He is your safe place.

Your morning song can set the tone for a day of victory.

Notice David starts with, “I love You.” Before the battle. Before the rescue. Before the miracle. He declares who God is:

“My strength.” When I’m weak.
“My rock.” When everything feels unstable.
“My fortress.” When life feels like a war zone.
“My deliverer.” When I’m trapped.
“My refuge.” When I need somewhere safe to breathe.
“My shield.” When the enemy is attacking.
“My stronghold.” When I feel like I can’t hold on anymore.

Notice something powerful: David lists what God is, not what God gives. Because when you know who God is, you don’t panic over what’s happening around you. Today, whatever you’re facing, you don’t need a new plan as much as you need a fresh reminder:

God is still your rock. Still your refuge. and Still your strength. And that hasn’t changed.
