In Psalm 23:3 David explains God's heart to restore humanity and lead us to right standing with Him. We see this play out when Jesus humbly lowers himself to this dark, broken world to atone for our sins. As Jesus hangs on the cross the very thing separating us from God,  torn in half.  We now have complete access to the presence of God! Not because of us, but because Jesus paid the price on our behalf. We are now in right standing with God.

Do you struggle feeling like you have to keep it all together during the Christmas Season? Is it challenging for you  to let people know you are not okay? Sometimes the holidays aren't easy and life seems to throw its best punches at us this time of year. We wrestle on what it looks like to be a Christian yet not always feel the Christmas Spirit. It's okay that you are not okay but God doesn't want you to stay stuck there. In Psalm 23 God gives us imagery of what it looks like to walk in the peace and rest He offers us.

Do you ever wonder what it was like for Peter to walk on water? So many of us look at what he did and wish we could walk on water like him. Although it was a miracle, there were struggles Peter faced along the way. We can learn so much from breaking down the story of him stepping out of the boat and walking on water.

We all struggle with anxious thoughts and anxiety at times, but there is a way to overcome anxiety. Anxiety's definition shows its base is fear.  The Bible tells us, "God is love" and "perfect love drives out all fear". Therefore we know God is the answer to overcoming anxiety. But where do we start? We start by reading the Word to see what God says about anxiety. He lays out several truths about overcoming anxiety that will help us walk in the freedom Jesus paid for us to have.

Michal, daughter of King Saul and wife of David. A daughter of a king and married to a king. One might think her life was full and rich yet her story shows us the realistic side of living in this fallen world. She was a pawn moved to and fro by her father and husband. She was mistreated, abandoned and betrayed. But, she had a choice to hold onto bitterness and resentment or forgive David for his shortcomings. Sadly, she died alone. We can learn from Michal's story. Many of us have been betrayed, abandoned and mistreated. How will the end of our story read? Will we forgive or hold onto bitterness and resentment and emotionally die alone?

We all know the story of Deborah, the fearless prophet and leader of Israel but do we take the time to study the story of Jael. God chose a woman, in a culture where women had no value, to have the honor of taking down the commander of the Canaanites.  A  woman willing to break three cultural norms in order to be obedient to God. A woman that cared more about fulfilling God's will than looking out for herself. Jael, a woman called "most blessed of women" (Judges 4:24),  is an example to all of us on how to be obedient when God calls us.

Has God given you a dream or a vision? Does it sometime seem like maybe you just made it up in your head or that it will never happen? If God gives us a dream or a vision, He will be the one that makes it come to pass. Even when it doesn't seem like anything is going as we think it should, we surrender our agenda. We  trust that God is working everything together for good because we love him and are called according to His purpose.

As we uncover the story of a gentile woman, named Rahab, we see a foreshadowing of our Savior's bloodshed on our behalf. We see a cry from the broken, the disheartened, the margins for a Savior. We see a beautiful collision of our faith and God's grace meeting to birth a miracle in our lives.
