God's plan has been laid out before the creation of the world, but did you know that God's plan for Jesus's life, death and resurrection was spelled out plainly in the genealogy of the old testament? For Colton's devotional tonight, he walked us through the "not so obvious" message hidden within the names of Adam's decedents pointing directly to Christ. He also shared a link for further reading. https://www.christianevidence.net/2018/07/esther-hidden-hand-of-god.html?m=1
To a Christian, self-control is imperative but also continually difficult. For Drew's devotional tonight, he talked about both the importance of self-control but also ways to make it less about your personal efforts (and failings) and more about Gods work through you.
Hands down, God is the best gift giver. He knows what we need and when we need it and he gives abundantly. For Matt's devotional tonight, he talked about God's generous and approachable nature and how we should at all times express our gratitude and gratefulness to him.
God hates false accusations because they violate his nature of truth, justice and righteousness and he has said that false witnesses will be punished but it can be difficult to wait for that promised justice when we are the ones being falsely accused. For Colton's devotional tonight, he talked about the importance of truthfulness and practicing patience while we wait for Gods promised justice.
When you pray, do you tend to put the problem before the praise? Don't feel bad. A lot of us do. For Kevin's devotional tonight he talked about flipping the script and starting our conversations with God full of praise. God is bigger than any problem we have and praising him first reminds us of his power and promise to see us through to our desired haven.
