Lifted by Example

Devos, Lifted By

Ministering in the everyday ordinary opportunities that we find ourselves in reveals the very character that we will exhibit in our extraordinary opportunities.

Lifted by Pouring Out

Devos, Lifted By

If you are always keeping blessings to yourself and never learning to pour out anything "to the Lord," other people will never have their vision of God expanded through you.

Lifted by True Peace

Devos, Lifted By

There are times in our lives when our peace is based simply on our own ignorance -- we are peaceful because we choose to be blind to the realities set before us. But when we are awakened to the realities in front of us, we must realize that true peace is impossible unless it is received from Jesus.
