Design 4 God

It’s tempting to rationalize that the presence of trouble means the absence of God. But the truth of Scripture counters such notions. “The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress” (vv. 7, 11). He is present when our circumstances are unbearable, and we find comfort in His character: He is good, loving, and trustworthy...Read more at https://dailydevotionalz.wordpress.com/2019/06/19/present-in-the-storm-psalm-467/ Poster is available at https://www.zazzle.com/present_in_the_storm_psalm_46_7_poster-228415312147826631 Postcard is available at https://www.zazzle.com/present_in_the_storm_psalm_46_7_postcard-239947481185144297 #Fortress #refuge #Psalm #Kingdom #storm #trouble #loving #trustworthy #absence #Jesus #Christ

When your sinful nature threatens to drain the life out of you, look to the source of your salvation, Jesus, and be strengthened by the power of His Spirit (vv. 11–17). “The Spirit helps us in our weakness” and “intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God” (vv. 26–27)...Read more at https://dailydevotionalz.wordpress.com/2019/06/18/in-our-weakness-romans-826/ Poster is available at https://www.zazzle.com/in_our_weakness_romans_8_26_poster-228904303744691662 Postcard is available at https://www.zazzle.com/in_our_weakness_romans_8_26_postcard-239055848599188689 #Romans #HolySpirit #weakness #power #strength #Jesus #Christ

We’ll never come to an end of that treasure. As we leave our old lives and pursue God and His purposes, we encounter His worth. Through “the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:7), God offers us treasure beyond imagination—new life as His sons and daughters, new purpose on earth, and the incomprehensible joy of eternity with Him...Read more at https://dailydevotionalz.wordpress.com/2019/06/04/finding-treasure-matthew-1344/ Poster is available at https://www.zazzle.com/finding_treasure_matthew_13_44_poster-228119415496383505 #Kingdom #Heaven #Matthew #field

Perhaps you’re dealing with some crisis or difficulty in your life, and the night watches have been anything but comforting. Perhaps your own “Absalom” weighs heavy on your heart and soul. Or other burdens of family, work, or finances plague your times of rest. If so, consider these sleepless moments to be opportunities to call out and cling to God—allowing His loving hand to uphold you (v. 8)...Read more at https://dailydevotionalz.wordpress.com/2019/06/02/night-watches-psalm-636/ Poster is available at https://www.zazzle.com/night_watches_psalm_63_6_poster-228659631448322052 Postcard is available at https://www.zazzle.com/night_watches_psalm_63_6_postcard-239052118182807730 #Psalm #David #Absalon #presence #night #watch #moon #bed #star #JesusChrist #burden

Our generosity may not be recognized by anyone other than God. Yet when we give freely, we not only meet the needs of those around us but we also experience the joy God intends for us in providing for others.

While there may be times to stand up with power for the weak and challenge others to pursue justice—we’re also to “let [our] gentleness be evident to all” (Philippians 4:5).
