How does Scripture point to Christ? Together, we are studying Old and New Testament passages over the course of the year, learning how all of Scripture speaks to Jesus. Join us as we dive deep into the Old and New Testament and marvel at the ways Jesus is on every page of the Bible.

Today, we are discussing week 19 day 4 of the CIAOS study.

Do you have vision for your kids? It requires knowing them and influencing them in the way they should go. It takes time, patience, and understanding but the rewards of raising a secure and confident child are rich.

Jay Payleitner shares practical advice to husbands about how to take the initiative and “be the man” that their wives need. With humor and lots of encouragement, he offers creative ideas about knowing what your wife likes, being a spiritual leader, anticipating drift in marriage. Jay offers the formula: Do, Model, Teach. Do (be the best Christian man you can be); Model (let children see you ask for forgiveness) and Teach (instruct children in Scripture, read the Word and sing praise songs and volunteer). Jay concludes by saying that husbands don’t need to spend a lot of money to do things that express their love and he encourages them to make little investments regularly in this vital relationship with their wives.

Tune in to hear Pastor Chuck Swindoll teach from Acts 11 about one of God’s favourite methods of preparing an individual for effective ministry: protracted periods of waiting. God refined Saul for many years before He called him out of the shadows.

In this episode, Dr. John Neufeld continues his series Confident Faith with a look at Genesis 22—the story of Abraham and Isaac. Known earlier for questioning and negotiating with God, Abraham now responds with quiet obedience to an unthinkable command. Dr. John explores how faith is formed and revealed through testing, and challenges us to consider what true trust in God looks like when the cost is high and the answers aren't clear.

Confident Faith: In this 4-week series on Genesis 18-25, Dr. John Neufeld looks at the life of Abraham and unpacks the topic of faith. How is faith formed? How does faith mature? And how can faith help us trust in what God has promised, even though we can’t see it yet.

Ever tossed and turned at 4 a.m., stuck between two decisions or weighed down by life’s seemingly unchanging routine? You’re not alone—and more importantly, you’re not stuck without purpose.

In today’s devotional, Sarah Frazer beautifully reframes those “stuck” seasons we all experience. Drawing wisdom from Psalm 25, she reminds us that even when we feel like we’re not moving forward, God is at work. He’s teaching, loving, leading, befriending, and ultimately saving us in ways we often can’t see at the time.

What if this pause in your life isn’t punishment—but preparation?

✨ Key Takeaways

⏸️ “Stuck” doesn’t mean God has stopped working in you
God uses still seasons to teach us new or deeper truths
His love and forgiveness are steady—even when we feel like we’re failing
Waiting can be God’s way of guiding us to the next step
God draws near as a friend when we need Him most

Intersecting Faith and Life

• How can you reach out to God right now and make Him your refuge in this waiting season?

• What would change if you stopped measuring your worth by productivity and started resting in God’s faithfulness?

• How have you seen God’s guidance in past seasons when you felt “stuck”?

Let’s Reflect

God’s faithfulness isn’t dependent on your performance, your progress, or your pace. Wherever you are right now—moving, waiting, or wondering—you are seen, loved, and led by a God who never gets stuck.

God’s Faithfulness When We Are Stuck

By Sarah Frazer

Bible Reading:

“To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.” Psalm 25:1 (ESV)

Devotional

My eyes were wide open but I couldn’t see in the dark. As I lay in bed, I glanced at the clock. 4am. With a sigh, I rolled over. Making a decision always keeps me awake at night. For hours my husband and I talked through the decision, looking at it from one angle and then another. We decided to pray about it and sleep on it. Praying was easy, sleeping was not. 

I listened to my husband snore softly and envied his ability to just put off the thoughts for the morning. My heart struggled to find peace because I could see both sides and didn’t know which path to take. 

Whether the decision is a big one or a small one, feeling stuck is not a good feeling. Sometimes we are
