Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat. Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread. And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live? But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me. And David comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him.

5 Days
Too often the intensity of pain and grief can push us to bypass proper healing. When we do this, we shortcut what God wants to do in us and never fully heal. This plan will guide you through passages of Scripture that will encourage the process of healing. You can come out on the other side of your storm a more mature person with a deeper understanding of God.
Unfortunately, grief, sorrow and many reasons to mourn are unavoidable in this life. In this 5-day devotional, discover how Jesus can trade our mourning for gladness and bring new life — despite our greatest losses.
No matter where you lead, the qualities that make a great leader are the same: you should be humble, selfless, honest, collaborative, and teachable. Most of all, you should recognize Jesus as the gold standard of leadership and make your relationship with God your top priority. Our prayer is that these 5 days will encourage you in your journey of spiritual leadership.
We highlight November as a time to give thanks but we are called to carry gratitude each and every day. By highlighting 5 people in the Bible who gave thanks with all their hearts, Brittany Rust wants to ignite a heart of praise in you that carries through your everyday life.
