You and I are on a battlefield every day, aren't we? It's called life. There's a battle between good and evil. There's a battle between good and bad choices, right? You and I are always making decisions as we interact with fellow human beings. God wants to remind you that He is with you, fighting for you. That's what we're learning this week on the battlefield. So let's talk about Joshua and the Battle of Jericho...

Battles don't always happen at places like Gettysburg and Normandy. Sometimes offices, playgrounds, classrooms, neighborhoods, you name it, can become battlefields. And that's why you and I are going to spend a little time this week getting battle ready. Let's get started in James, chapter one.

The words of Moses are kicking off Joy Bombs in the Psalms today and we're going to be diving into Psalm 67, which interestingly enough is a little bit of a reprise of Moses's words, his beautiful prayer in Numbers 6:24-26. Let's jump in!

Today we're looking at two unsung heroes from the Bible: a poor widow and a man on death row. The widow, despite her poverty, gave all she had, demonstrating her faith and commitment. The man on death row, despite his crimes, reached out to Jesus in his final moments, showing his belief and repentance. God sees and values all people, no matter their circumstances.

Consider for a moment the great honor and joy of carrying out God's plan for your own life, and the rest of the whole world too. Those two things, the plans he has for you and the plans he has for this old world intersect and interact with each other. What a privilege! Today you and I are going to study another unsung hero in the Bible, a woman who had to do something hard twice, and yet when we pull back and zoom out, I think you ...

If I were to ask you right now who your favorite Bible hero is, I imagine you would say David, with God's help, he slayed Goliath the giant, or Daniel. God rescued him from the lion's den, but unsung heroes, that's a little trickier.
This week I googled unsung heroes of the Bible and two unusual names popped up, and right away I said, "Yes, let's do it"... Let's call the midwives!

God has a plan and a purpose for us, and it's good that he has a hope and a future for us. When our plans blow up, we know that Jesus hasn't given up on us. He's working in the construction zone of our lives. Trust that He is leading you out of the gray area and into His perfect will for your life. You are so deeply loved.

You and I have only a few pieces of the puzzle on the coffee table of our lives, but God, He's got the box. He sees the cover, He sees your life and mine from beginning to end, and He is working from the moment we're born and we open our eyes, to the day we close our eyes for the final time on this earth. He is a Good Father, holding us tenderly within His care, in the midst of His plans for us.

If you filter everything that happens to you through, God is good and God loves me, you are going to be a much more peaceful person. Even when the plans that you had for your own life blow up in your face and you're sitting in the wreckage, you'll remember that God has a plan. And He uses all of it, all the good, all the bad, all the ugly for our good and His glory.

You know what so often happens if we allow it, when our plans change, our perspective changes too. I'm never a fan of when plans change, but so often it's God inviting us into the work He's doing in our own hearts and in the people around us. Today, we are going to be studying the life of Saul, a man who went from persecuting Christians to a faithful servant of the Lord Jesus. Let's dig in.

Have you ever had to text somebody and say, "Yeah, change of plans." Me too. What do you and I do? How do we respond to God when plans change, when what we anticipated was going to happen doesn't pan out? The Bible has a lot to say about God's plans for you and for me, and the number one thing you can know is that they are good. God has a good plan for you.

All week you and I have been studying who Jesus is. Every big question in life points back to the answer, and Christ is the answer. We are sinners in need of a Savior and all we have to do is say yes to His free gift of salvation. He wants to save your soul. When Jesus was born, it was the beginning of a rescue mission here on earth, planned long ago in heaven. He is our Rock...the rock of our salvation. The Bible says so, and it's...
