As we head into a new week, here is a simple reminder: God is your rock, shield, and salvation. He is your fortress and stronghold against anything this world can throw at you.
Ok, honesty time. This weekend was ROUGH! It started off like any other, and then Friday night, it all fell apart. Every single person in my family got sick. I mean, “Holy crap, what is going on!” kind of sick. Now, I don’t want to sound like this is the end of the world. It’s not. We’ve all experienced things much worse than this. But it was exhausting. I felt bad for my wife and baby girl who got sick every 15-20 minutes for most of the night (hours!). I felt bad for my son who woke up at 2 am and got sick when we thought he was ok. When you think it’s going to be a relaxing weekend, but turns out totally different. Ever have days or weeks like this? Life throws one more thing at you and it’s all you can take (you think, anyway). That is why I wanted to share today’s One Verse. Normally, we reserve Psalms for Friday. But I thought this would be a great reminder for our week. Our God is our rock, our shield, and our salvation. Are you ready to face a new week or do you still feel exhausted? Let God be your shield and your fortress this week.
About One Verse
One Verse is a short, free podcast devotional designed to help you grow closer to God through less than 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
Consistency trumps intensity. When it comes to working out, eating healthy, or managing our finances, consistency always trumps intensity. We reach our major life goals through small, purposeful steps taken daily. The same is true in our spiritual lives. I truly believe you will grow closer to God by spending just 5 minutes a day with Him versus cramming in an hour once a month. The One Verse Devotional is here to help take away the barriers of spending time with God. Now, during your workout, drive to work, or even shopping for groceries, you can invest in your spiritual life.
