Hold Onto Hope: God Does His Best Work in Caves
Life’s caves become classrooms where we learn deep spiritual truths. Let’s view them as places to experience God in rich, unique ways.

We find hope when we place our confidence in our unchanging God. Choosing to trust His wisdom, sovereignty, power, and goodness soothes the soul.
Fixing our heart on God leads us to a safe place, a place where peace and clarity reign, a place where we find calm in chaos.
I hold messy reality in one hand: Uvalde, Ukraine, inflation, family and ministry concerns. I hold God’s spectacular promises in the other.
How do we respond to suffering? Do we get angry or fall into self-pity? Or do we allow God to use our pain to refine us and make us more like Jesus?
Trusting God means yielding our desire for control to the One who is in control. It means admitting our understanding of a troubling situation is incomplete.
God cares deeply about what concerns me and you, and he invites us to come to his throne room anytime day or night. We needn’t fear interrupting him.
I pray that today’s post will encourage and inspire you. It’s an excerpt from my devotional book Finding Hope in Crisis: Devotions for Calm in Chaos.
Crisis changes life in a nanosecond. It can rob us of routine, ruin our ability to sleep well, and remove our capability to think straight.
Life is really hard sometimes. But suffering is temporary. Let’s neither run from it nor resist it because it refines us and strengthens our faith.
A human perspective thinks the pandemic has taken so much. In many ways, it has. But God’s thoughts are higher than ours, and His perspective renews hope.
The enemy may be trying to defeat you through difficult or painful circumstances, but he’s fighting a losing battle because God is on your side.
He often works through people–professional counselors and support providers–in the healing process, but ultimately, lasting victory comes from Jesus.
Read His Word and talk with Him as with a dear friend. Wait on the Lord, and He will give you supernatural strength to face the tasks at hand.
We yearn for peace, especially when evil happens as it did this week in Boston. Is peace possible? Yes. By admitting that we need God’s help.
“I listen carefully to what God the LORD is saying, for he speaks peace to his faithful people” (Psalm 85:8). What is the Lord saying to you?
Isolating ourselves for the wrong reasons when feeling discouraged puts us into a bad place emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
Many times, when we’re walking an easy path, we tend to grow confident in our abilities and know-how. We think we’re able to manage on our own, thank you.
David and his men had traveled for three days without food or water. They were exhausted, and now they were faced with their loss.
