Sometimes we think that maybe its a matter of faith. That if we just believed more...God will provide, but I don't know God to be that way. I know God to provide in the most unexpected of ways. Not everyone has a nice and beautiful story about when God has provided in an emergency, but I continue to hold onto the fact that if we are vulnerable and real with the Spirit, God sees our need. You may be someone else's miracle during a season of scarcity, for God provides through the hands and hearts of those who choose to live in love.

God’s goodness doesn’t protect us from bad things—we can see that in all of the stories in the Bible. Faith doesn’t protect us from harm, but it does give us hope, direction, and good things. While life can be hard, God goes with us in the hard times. Join Pastor Don for today’s devotional.

A devotional with Pastor Jonathan featuring a poem written by Rev. Raymond H. Huse, “When Churches Are Closed,” in October 1918 during the Spanish Flu.

There are lots of ideas out there about why the Word “became flesh,” even though it seemed like bad news. Even though being flesh kind of sucked (and still does for all of us sometimes). But I believe that this happened, at least in part, to remind us how beautiful flesh is. The bottom line is that it takes courage to be flesh—especially in times like these.
