A Royal Priesthood

“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” I Peter 2:9 (ESV)

While I am definitely not an expert on priesthood, I have been challenged by the role of the High Priests in the Old Testament. Their job was to put God on display – to look and act differently from the rest. To be set apart, holy and consecrated. Part of their role was to help the people navigate atonement and guide their hearts toward obedience to God’s commands. Morning and evening, the priest would offer sacrifices for the sins of Israel. They would also guide the Israelites in bringing their offerings for their sins. The priests were great intercessors and pleaded on behalf of the people to God, much like Moses did in the wilderness. And lastly, they distributed resources to people in need out of the abundance others brought.

Wow, what a job!

As grand as the High Priest’s job was, they were still human. When they offered sacrifices for others, they also had to offer sacrifices for their sins. No one was sinless (Romans 3:10), until the pivot moment when Jesus entered our world. The sinless Son of God became our divine High Priest forever (Hebrews 5) through His death on the cross. Jesus’ blood paved the way for us to have an intimate relationship with God – He became our mediator, our bridge from God to man. And He intercedes before His Father on our behalf. We are clothed in His righteousness not our filthy rags (2 Corinthians 5:21).

So what does this mean for us?

Peter reminds us in I Peter 2:9 that we are a royal priesthood. We have roles to fulfill like the High Priests and Christ exemplified. In fact, the early church fully exemplified this role making it real and personal for believers today. Here’s some questions to ponder:

• Are we different – or do we simply blend into our world? Not just how we look, but how we act, think and speak.
• Do we help others navigate their faith and teach them how to confess their sins and walk in the grace and mercy God offers?
• Do we intercede on behalf of others?
• Do we steward our resources well so we can help others in need?

We have been set apart to draw others to God and to exemplify His love and grace. Interceding isn’t optional nor is helping others in need. May God open our eyes this week to see the privilege and honor we have in being His people – a royal priesthood. Reflecting our great High Priest to our world.

“Father, how blessed we are to be Your chosen people. May we honor You through obedience and declaring how awesome You are to our world.”

For His Glory

The God of Daniel – He Is Our God Too!

“Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.” Daniel 6:10 (NIV).

Daniel was doing fine in Jerusalem until King Nebuchadnezzar besieged it and took everyone into exile, including him.   Then Daniel and some others were trained to serve the king in his court. While there, Daniel’s three friends were thrown into a fiery furnace. And what happened? They prayed to their God, the Lord Almighty, and nothing happened to them!!! They came out without wounds or burns.

Daniel kept his allegiance to the Lord, and he developed a gift for interpreting dreams. In all the troubles Daniel faced, God honored His faithfulness.  Because the people were envious of his gifts and the fact that the king liked Daniel, some guys plotted against him. What’s next… right? He got sent to the lion’s den.  All night long Daniel was shut in the den with those lions and not one of them harmed him. Daniel came out without scratches or bruises.

Get the picture? Daniel remained faithful to the Lord, and God honored him. He got into trouble, and God saw that he came out unharmed. Trials will always come, but if we remain faithful, God will see us through. Let’s look to Him, let’s seek Him, let’s be like Daniel, and not be ashamed to get down on our knees when trouble comes.

 “Lord, sometimes we just get too scared about the lions and forget that You can shut their mouths and make them look like small kittens. Help us to trust in You like Daniel did and to not be afraid of fire or beasts, because we serve a God for whom nothing is impossible.”

For His Glory

Yes, I Know God Has A Plan For Me

“See,  I have written your name on the palms of My hands.” Isaiah 49:16a (NLT)

I am sure you have heard Jeremiah 29:11 quoted, seen it on t-shirts, or maybe even have this verse hanging in your home and it is so true. No doubt that God absolutely has plans for each of us beyond our understanding. But have you ever stopped to ask yourself why? Why does He have these plans for us and maybe you’re even wondering, is this really the plan? Maybe you’ve thought, this for sure wouldn’t be my plan and that can lead to questioning who God really is or what this thing called life is really all about.

I would love to have coffee with you and speak these words face to face, but writing will have to suffice. As we visited,  I would remind us that God does not see us as a mass of women walking around, He sees each one of us as individuals. I would remind us that Scripture tells us that He knew us before we were conceived. That God knew that His world, the perfect world He created, was not complete without YOU or ME! I would pause and remind us that His hands designed US! He cradled us in His heart and knew that this hair color, bone structure, quiet smile or loud laugh would be the way He wanted us, as His precious daughters, to be. He chose us, He wanted us, and He wants us to share our days with Him. The God of all the universe, who spoke the world into existence, breathed His life into us and called us child, daughter, friend, and beloved.

The plans He has for us are to know we have a place in His heart and that He desires a relationship with us above all. He desires that we know His love is displayed through the death of Jesus and His blood paying for all we’ve ever done against Him, because He never wants to lose His relationship with us. Then He wants us to chat with Him through our days, go to Him through our tears, laugh with Him through our chaos, and rest in Him through our pain.

Oh, how He adores each one of us and wants us. Just because we exist, not because of anything we’ve ever done. By His choice, our names are written on the palms of HIS hands!!

“Heavenly Father, help each of us see ourselves through Your eyes and know we are cherished and adored by You.”

For His Glory

Devote Yourself

“They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe. Acts 2:42-43a.

It’s week two of the new year…how are your resolutions going? I heard a statistic recently that something like 88% of people who make resolutions have broken them within two weeks. Yikes. There are a lot of reasons why this happens: we set unrealistic goals, we have no strategy, or we simply abandon the initial enthusiasm of it all.

In diving into the second chapter of Acts, within Peter’s first big sermon after the promised Holy Spirit came upon those gathered, some spiritual resolutions jumped off the page. Now, in addressing the crowd of new believers, Luke (who wrote Acts) didn’t call them “resolutions” per se…he spoke about how they “devoted themselves.” This is beautiful, isn’t it? Yes, we can “resolve” or make a decision to do something. But “devoting ourselves”…this connotes throwing ourselves fully into whatever it is we’re devoted to. As Luke describes the response of the 3000 newly saved, five areas of devotion are clearly defined. And before you think, “Well, these are for newbies in the faith,” let me say that we are never done maturing! From the moment we surrender to Jesus until we’re in His presence in glory, we must grow spiritually. We must devote ourselves to it!

So, what are these five never-ending to-dos from verses 42-43?

  1. Savor God’s Word. Carve out time daily to delight in, learn from, and be convicted by Scripture. And sit under the teaching of a solid Bible teacher. And with podcasts, you can also hear from pastors from around the country (whether living and active teachers like John Piper, Ben Stuart, or my own pastor, Joby Martin, or those who have gone to be with the Lord, like John MacArthur and Voddie Baucham). Just be careful of the many popular heretics of our day, who are satisfying itching ears by twisting God’s Word to satisfy their personal agenda.
  2. Engage in fellowship (literally, “partnership”) and discipleship. We are called to not give up meeting (Hebrews 10:25) and to spur one another on as fellow believers (Hebrews 10:24). We’re to sharpen one another, as iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17). We do this by being part of a local church community. (Again, online and podcasts are fine, but being present among a church fam is vital!) Maybe this year, you can find a younger believer (younger in the faith, not necessarily chronologically) to disciple. And (note I didn’t say “or”) find someone to mentor/disciple you this year—to keep you accountable and carry your mat when it’s needed (note I didn’t say “if”).
  3. Participate in communion. Jesus instituted two ordinances for us believers: baptism and communion. It doesn’t matter how often your church body celebrates communion, as long as it does! Communion is the opportunity for us to remember the Lord’s sacrifice—to contemplate His death and resurrection, proclaiming the gospel through this action.
  4. Without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18). We pray alone, with our spouse or mat-carriers, and in the church gathering. We talk with God, cry out to Him—or just cry to Him, praise Him, thank Him, beg Him. And we listen to Him, through His Word and through the Holy Spirit, our counselor.
  5. Stay in awe (verse 43a). Do you “keep feeling a sense of awe” for what the Lord has done for you? For God’s creation? For the astonishment of our senses that point to heavenly reality? For the fact that we were dead, and now we’re alive in Christ. Sweet friend, this is one that I’m particularly focused on being devoted to (immersed in, constantly aware). May we never cease to glorify God for, well, everything.

If you’ve been a follower of Jesus Christ for a day or 50 decades, I challenge you (and me) this year to be devoted to the things that will deepen our relationship with the Lord and make us more like Christ.

“Lord, you have given us all the tools we need—including the indwelling Holy Spirit—to be transformed into the likeness of Christ on our way to glory. May I continually devote myself to this purpose.”

The Sweetness Of Our God

“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise Him. Psalm 28:7 (ESV)

Ever started your day with a song on repeat? The lyrics unable to escape you and the tune embedded in your mind. Without even thinking, the melody resumes, and you’re singing those words as if you’ve never heard it before. Days later, you find yourself humming the same song. The reason totally unknown in the moment – just a tune that keeps reverberating through your mind, tantalizing your voice and sounding through your home.

2025 unveiled such a moment – the song I couldn’t dismiss was Lauren Daigle’s “Be Okay.”  At the start of my day, throughout my day and at night the all too familiar tune burst forth a song deep in my soul. Some days, I’d shake my head totally unsure why I couldn’t get this song out of my mind, yet the next day it would return again as though I’d never heard it before.

Fast forward to February 25 and the sudden death of my husband, Jay,  sent my world into a spiral of uncertainties and unknowns. Blind sighted by a tragic loss, I now knew why this song had been playing on repeat. God was reminding me, surrounding me and singing over me the very words which would keep my eyes focused on the source of my strength in the darkest of nights. And the word God had given me for 2025 was none other than “Focus.”  A word I was clueless as to why God kept it at the forefront of my thoughts in those early days of 2025.

A song God knew I would need to remind me that I would “Be Okay” despite the hard journey grief births. A word God knew I would need to keep my gaze zeroed in on Him despite the challenges that would lie ahead. In His divine wisdom, God knew I would need an eternal focus on the resurrection hope that secures our lives in His presence forever – a sure foundation when life is shaky.

Pivotal verses in my calendar book the entire month of February encouraging my heart in ways that only God could have orchestrated. Reminders of God leading us in triumph (2 Corinthians 2:14). Reminders of our frailty and dependence on Him (2 Corinthians 3:5). And that week when life changed, God etched 2 Corinthians 4:16 “So we do not lose heart, though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.”

The sweetness of our God always preparing us in advance even when we don’t know the road ahead. The grace of our God easing us through the hard places and equipping us with His words so we can navigate the journey, hard or easy,  we didn’t expect.

What will 2026 bring? None of us knows what a day will bring nor are we to be consumed with tomorrow (Matthew 6:34). Rather, we are to live our days moment by moment totally dependent upon God, trusting in His unfailing character, clinging to His word and walking in obedience. Always in constant communion with the One who knows it all, prepares us for it all and carries us through it all.

“Father, there are no words to describe how precious You are to me. I see today what I couldn’t see yesterday, and I navigate tomorrow because I know You never leave my side.”

For His Glory

When Open Doors Invite Faith

“Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me…”  Psalm 43:3a (ESV)

A tiny bead of light shone through the crack in the door.  You could barely see it yet in the fullness of dark, this one ray was just enough for me to find my way into the house.  Despite its unfamiliarity, I felt across mid-wall and flipped the switch.  Guessing was no longer required.  Light streamed from the ceiling illuminating what was once dark and unknown. A peaceful rush fell over me as fear seeped out.

None of us like going into a dark house, dark room or dark night.  Why?  Simply because we can’t see. And when we can’t see, our minds imagine all kinds of things lurking in the shadows.  Uneasiness and anxiety overtake us as we step back afraid to move forward.

Darkness doesn’t have to be black to keep us paralyzed in place.  Webster defines darkness as a gloomy, depressed state.  A lack of knowledge or enlightenment.  Our soul can find itself wandering aimlessly afraid to venture beyond because we are desperate to know the outcome first.  Not exactly how it works in this life.

Isn’t that what faith is really all about?  Believing and trusting God in faith not knowing all the details and definitely not knowing how it will all play out.

Love the way God gives us a tiny beam of light shining through doors barely cracked.  Inviting us to exercise faith in Him without full disclosure.  Holding tight to answered prayers instead of caving into fear and uncertainty.  We will miss those moments if we choose to allow whirlwinds of unhealthy talk swirl in our heads.  Caught off guard that an impossibility might just happen, we can zero in on the dark or gravitate toward the light.

Witnessed this the other day when God answered big prayers.  He paved the way with little beams of His light opening doors presumed closed.  Problem was the unknowns loomed large and the enemy seized those moments to raise up every question under the sun.  Weighty burdens God never intended.  His yoke is easy….not heavy (Matthew 11:28-30).  When we are caught up in the emotion of uncertainty and fear attempting to figure it all out never serves us well.

Rather than succumb to the enemy’s tactics, we can choose to embrace the light, welcome the slightest opening of a door and trust His leading to walk us through.  No, we want have all the answers or see into the future to manipulate the present. But we will have the Holy Spirit leading and guiding us each step of the way.  And as we move in obedience, faith and trust in God, He will illuminate our path.  His light will cover the darkness and peace will be our closest companion.

Paralysis or moving forward – the choice is up to us.

“Father, how blessed we are to know You are the opener of our doors and even the slightest crack can lead to the greatest blessings if we choose to trust You.  Help us to dismiss the enemy’s lies and hold tight to the truth of who You are – a good, good Father.”

Making It Through Successfully

“The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.    I will advise you and watch over you. Many sorrows come to the wicked, but unfailing love surrounds those who trust the Lord.”     Psalm 32:8,10  NLT

How in the world can a girl get through this life successfully when there are thousands of unknowns ahead of us? Obviously, our human minds can’t know the best path to take. And if this were a problem for only young women, I would have it made, but I still face the same dilemma in the later years of my life. Am I doing what God wants me to do? Where does He want me to go? How can I use my time and strength to the best advantage?

We’ve all been told that God only shows us one step at a time. Sometimes it’s hard to trust Him for the next step, not knowing where it all will lead, but look at verse 8. He promises to not only guide you for the best pathway for your life (a custom-designed plan just for you by an all-knowing, crazy-in-love-with-you God) but to watch over you as you go. This speaks of continuing guidance and protection as we walk the path He shows us. It’s an ongoing watchfulness. No matter what decisions you face, no matter your uncertainty about your ultimate destination in life, God is watching over you as you read this. He will still be watching over you tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that.

Most of us have had many people watching over us and guiding us from our youth, starting with parents and teachers. Then there were guidance counselors, career counselors, aptitude tests to tell us what kinds of jobs would suit us, and psychological tests to determine what slot our personality fits in. But there has never been a guide like the Lord, who knows our hearts and can see into the future.

He will guide you along the best pathway for your life. He said so in verse 8. He will lead you away from entrapment in sin. When He takes you on a detour you think is a mistake, it’s quite likely a side trip to enrich you and strengthen your character. Maybe He’s positioning you to meet people who will have a major impact on your life, or you on theirs.

And when you feel you have failed, God still has a plan. This is the God who loves you unfailingly, who shows His unfathomable hesed each day, who will never leave you or forsake you. He truly has your best interest at heart. Truly.

“Father, often the path You show us is scary or uncomfortable, and we are tempted to choose another way that seems easier. But we pray for strength and courage to obey Your voice and thank You that You are always there, guiding and watching over us.”

For His Glory

New Year’s Evolution

“The Law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.” Psalm 19:7

If you’re a New Year’s Resolution kind of person, then during this week between Christmas and New Year’s Day you may be mulling over the changes you’d like to make in 2026 (still hard to believe another year has come and gone!). Perhaps you’ll write a list to post on your fridge or tuck away in a drawer. Maybe you’ve purchased a fresh journal in which you’ll decree your “to-dos” and “not-to-dos” for the year, with the intention to fill its pages with your 365-day journey. Or maybe you’re a “word-of-the-year” person—choosing a single word for 2026 to intentionally drive your thoughts, words, and actions.

Maybe, though, you think New Year’s Resolutions are for the birds, and January 1 is simply a flip of the digital calendar page.

Whatever your perspective on one year’s end and another’s beginning, time is undeniably ticking for all of us—whether you’re 18 or 88. And life’s passage requires growth and development. In fact, as followers of Jesus Christ, we Christians are made to be transformed. At the moment of salvation (surrender to the work of Jesus on our behalf), we are made new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17)—the old nature passes away as we are forgiven and set free from the shackles of sin. Then, our life task is to be continually conformed into the image of Christ, day by day. To progress in holiness and righteousness, through the power of the Holy Spirit living in us, as we walk through this life toward heavenly glory (Romans 8:29; 2 Corinthians 3:18). We are called to spiritual evolution.

But how do we accomplish this? We have all the instructions we need in the Bible! God’s Word is a light to our path (Psalm 119:105), our sustenance (Matthew 4:4), the truth (John 17:17), purposeful (Isaiah 55:11), and eternal (Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 24:35;). God’s Word teaches, corrects, and equips us (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12). And that’s just the start. For a full description of the power of God’s Word, check out Psalm 119!

Reading and meditating on God’s Word keeps us focused on truth—it informs us who we are in Christ, what is right amid this upside-down world, how to keep from falling prey to the enemy’s schemes. God’s Word is powerful—in fact, “by the Word of the Lord the heavens were made” (Psalm 33:6). And it will convert, convict, console, and conform us. Most importantly, God’s Word keeps us from believing the pervasive cultural lies that constantly bombard us. Through reading and studying the Bible, our minds are renewed daily and stay clear, rather than being dulled and lulled into succumbing to the wide path of worldly ways. It’s so much easier to go with the flow than to swim upstream. But God’s Word roots us in truth, strengthening us to stand firm and walk in wisdom—not as a fool.

So, for 2026, consider making a New Year’s evolution—a commitment to grow deeper in your faith and knowledge of God through the study of His Word. Day by day, plunge into the amazing Truths laid out for us from Genesis to Revelation. I promise, sweet friend, whatever your personal vision for next year may be (or even if you don’t do resolutions at all), if you consume the Daily Bread of the Bible each day, you will be changed for the better. And, if you haven’t yet experienced the freedom offered by Jesus Christ—reconciliation with God, forgiveness, and new life—why not make today that day? There’s no better way to kick off the New Year than with an entirely new you.

“Lord, Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and light unto my path. Thank You for clearly providing your pure and powerful Truths so I can walk in wisdom, live with righteousness, and experience Your peace.”

For His Glory

When Obedience Goes Wrong

“He (Jesus) replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”  Luke 11:28 (NIV)

Stunned. I couldn’t believe my ears. That someone would say such things. Immediate hurt, confusion, disbelief. Alternatives were considered with prayer paramount. Godly counsel suggested the Matthew 18 approach. Phraseology rehearsed and executed with precision. Textbook outcome. Until the next time. And the next time. Obedience is met with opposition and unmet expectations. It all went terribly wrong. I mean wrong. Terribly. The result is not only broken relationships, but broken hopes, and seemingly an erosion of everything worked for.

I wonder if you’ve found yourself in a similar situation. As you rush towards an opportunity, the door suddenly slams. Misunderstanding and a friendship never really return to intimacy. An unexpected change and the well-honed plan is trashed.  The sting of rejection, abandonment and fear can crowd in and crowd out the Spirit’s voice of comfort.

As I’ve learned, obedience doesn’t mean that it will go my way. From our position of love, we strive to be obedient to our Lord. We know well His dictates to live in unity, to endure hardship, to die to self. Are we ready when moments of testing present themselves?

“Trust is our gift back to God, and He finds it so enchanting that Jesus died for love of it” (Brennan Manning). I am sure there are many lessons to learn and develop in my trial. At a whim, He is able to re-direct my course of action for I have chosen that He establishes my steps. Welcome is He to show Himself faithful to others through my brokenness. He knows the big picture, the intertwining of the pieces and how He will receive the maximum glory. At the core of it all is to establish my ability to trust God and to declare His Lordship in my life. When obedience seems to have gone wrong, I must decide to remain in the trial as a further act of obedience.

Rather than withdraw from my Creator, I must resolve to press into Him. Prayers uninhibited by unrepented sin. My heart is open before the Lord and receptive to His comfort, correction and care. To love Him at all costs, serve Him with all fervor and remain steadfast to the truths He has presented before me. Ways not exhibited by the world, but devotion exemplified by Christ on the cross.

“Father, may I go forward in obedience knowing You have a plan and purpose for all. In Your wisdom, You are refining this vessel and making it useful for Your glory.”

For His Glory,

Seeking Balance

“Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand.” Proverbs 19:21 (ESV)

Exercise is one of my fave things to do. Why? Because I feel so much better when I’m finished. However, getting started sometimes is a challenge especially if I miss a few workouts. Several years ago when my gym was closed working out required some creativity. While trying yoga has never been at the top of my list, I decided to check it out with an online class. At first, I just didn’t get all those poses and slow going was not my style. Determined to stick with it, I gradually realized the importance of achieving precision in all those crazy nonessential moves. The benefits of flexibility, strength and balance finally kicked in.

Balance in our lives is a lot like my yoga class. When I started this routine, I thought I had great balance. As I progressed through the poses, I learned my balance was not so good. Too many days, I barely missed toppling over in the floor twisted like a pretzel. Funny to say the least, but isn’t that the way we view personal balance. I tend to go towards the “I’ve got this” response until I take a close look at my calendar.

Burnout, exhaustion and missed opportunities all align themselves with imperfect balance. Easier to dismiss than to face. We push ourselves to the very edge of toppling over until we realize balance is definitely off. Great way to gain personal balance is to start by asking ourselves some deep questions:

Where does God fit into our 24/7?
What is consuming our time and focus?
How can we avoid exhaustion and burnout?
Does our calendar reflect nonnegotiable time for Bible Study and prayer?
Do the events penciled in our calendar accurately reflect our priorities?
How do we exercise good self-care?
What areas of our lives are out of alignment with God’s best?

Truthful answers will ensure we know what areas of our lives are unbalanced and which ones are hitting the mark. Doesn’t take much to throw us off – a few interruptions, family crisis, work deadlines, ignoring our own needs, skipping Bible Study, etc. The key is to recognize our instability and seek God’s help to get back on track. Bringing our schedule to Him each week and asking for His guidance will ensure we exercise flexibility and strength in both our physical and spiritual lives. And the lasting benefit will be a life balanced and focused on God’s agenda.

“Father it is so easy to get sidetracked, overloaded and simply off course. Cultivate within us a desire to surrender each day to You and help us to welcome Your guidance in keeping our lives balanced.”

For His Glory
