In some religions, the idea is: do as many good works as you can. At your judgment, you hope the good works outweigh the bad. Believers can rejoice that Jesus bestows His personal righteousness as a gift on those who are His. God sees our sins through the perfection of His Son, and can legally declare us as righteous as He is. This stops the devil in his tracks.

"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." By faith we grasp the hand of God. Satan wants to disconnect us from our faith by bombarding us with doubts. The last thing he wants to see is a Christian on fire for the Lord and certain of his or her mission and destiny. Today: how to make the best use of your shield of faith.

Despite our best efforts, some people will refuse reconciliation, and hang on to their hurts until their knuckles turn white. Letting go of past injustice seems, for many, to be the ultimate insult. After all, those injustices give these people their reason to go on fighting. Today: a call for all who hold their hurts dear to give them up, and, be healed of their anger.

Series: Christ Among Other Gods
One thing runners need is power...physical power, mental power, and a power in spirit to give the race all they have. The disciples of Christ got a foretaste of His power when they saw Him ascend into heaven. As a cloud hid His rising form from view, attending angels reminded them that Jesus would one day return in great power and majesty.

Series: Resurrected Dreams
Early on, the disciples of Jesus argued over who would sit with Him in the kingdom. But when Jesus died, their dreams died. Their best-laid plans were in ruins. For some, the best thing to do seemed to be: walk away and forget those three wonderful years with Christ. Today: how the resurrected Jesus revived their dreams, and how He can revive yours as well.

Series: Resurrected Dreams
At Emmaus, the resurrected Jesus walked with disciples so dejected, so sorrowful that they did not even recognize Him. Their dreams shattered, they only sought escape from their pain. But their hearts were strangely warmed by this passerby. Inviting Him to dinner, they found themselves face to face with the One they loved, but never really understood.
