I had never really thought of what it meant to be “in Christ.” Read this devotional by Nicky Gumbel for a good analogy that I think will stay with you. I want to always be “in Christ.” Don’t you? Blessings for a wonderful and safe week!
This is a perfect book to give as a gift to the Tween in your life! With each daily devotional, there is an excerpt from a chapter in Anne of Green Gables followed by the devotional, a personal application, Scripture and a prayer. It has everything that parents are looking for in a devotional and it links the life lessons that Anne learned to lessons that teens and tweens need to learn today. I loved how practical and easy to read it was! I also enjoyed the excerpts from the book that was a favorite from my own childhood. Also, each chapter has a beautiful illustration with it. I am definitely adding this book to my list of gifts for my granddaughters for Christmas or birthdays. I think that they would even enjoy reading a chapter of Anne of Green Gables along with the devotional, so it would be prefect for homeschoolers who are looking for a book to read together for literature. The uses are innumerable, and the book is a real treasure!

I seem to be all over the place with my devotionals lately. I’m reading about the sinful kings and then I’m reading about Paul’s preaching in Rome and then I move on to the book of Jonah and his reluctance to preach a salvation message to the Ninevites. What I got out of all of my reading today comes down to a few verses that I will share with you here.
A promise that I am clinging to
Singing praise songs is helping me during these days of isolation.
And finally, as I pray for the Lord to act on our behalf and to get rid of this plague and the unrest in the U.S., this verse was how he answered me. Nothing is ever too hard for Him, but then, I also have to wait for His timing.
So, that was my devotional for today. I hope that in some way these verses have spoken to your heart. Have a blessed and God-centered day!
This is a perfect devotional for teens and tweens who love horses. With personification of the wonderful animals, the author uses a scripture for each devotion, ties it to a lesson learned from the horse and how that can be applied to humans and ends with practical advice. Each devotion also includes a beautiful photo of a horse or pony, so that’s truly a bonus for young people who love horses. I am not a real horse lover myself, but I did enjoy the devotions and I know that my teen and tween grandchildren would relate to these stories and totally enjoy them.

Author Bio:
Cara Whitney grew up on a cattle farm in Northern Wisconsin. After spending a decade as a radio personality in markets that included Las Vegas, she found herself in search of that simpler life everyone talks about. She soon discovered that there is no such thing as a simple life, but instead your best lived life is one that includes a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Cara Whitney speaks with humor, authenticity, and a no-nonsense directness, making her an instant hit with people of all ages. She is a wife, a mother, and an author. Her debut book, Unbridled Faith, generated major media interest, including a national TV segment with Ainsley Earhardt on “Fox & Friends” (Fox News Network). Her message is clear and simple: “God is real, and He can be trusted.”
Now in her early forties, Cara says her family and her faith in Jesus Christ are her most important relationships. She and her husband Daniel (known by millions as Larry the Cable Guy) own a 180-acre farm in Nebraska where they take care of 12 horses. The couple have been married for 14 years and have two young children: Reagan and Wyatt.
Cara enjoys strong coffee, fast Internet, and cautious driving. Between trips to the grocery store and juggling dirty laundry, she has been called to evangelism. “I get up every day and live my life appreciating God’s gift of eternal life,” she says, “the gift He had been trying to give me since birth, the gift I kept avoiding. I know I am forgiven, and
God is enough. I want to share this gift with everyone–everywhere.”

I was particularly struck by the disaster and deliverance portion of this devotional. We need a great leader in our world today, but even more, we need to accept Jesus at the King of the World, most especially our hearts.
I hope that this devotional brings you some peace as you read and pray today.
