Deuteronomy 4:36

A 3-day devotional by Danielle Apicella, sharing the journey of growing in thankfulness and loving the life God has given you. This is for those who need to re-gain perspective and find true joy again.

Scripture sometimes tells us NOT to fear, and then it tells us TO fear God, in the same Scripture passage. What are we to do with these; how do we reconcile them? This plan helps us understand the balance of awe and reverence we must hold toward our Holy God, helping us to be both humbled and encouraged through life’s events.

One of today’s most influential worship leaders and songwriters, Paul Baloche (Open The Eyes Of My Heart/A New Hallelujah) aims to make Christmas more than a season of nostalgia. He wants to make it a season of worship. With his albums, Christmas Worship (Volumes 1 & 2), Paul combines beloved carols with modern worship songs. With this plan, he examines the scriptural truths behind those songs, pointing our hearts to Jesus.

God’s relentless love is the life-blood of his mission. This love was most remarkably displayed in the culmination of his grand salvation plan: sending his very own Son to live and minister on earth, finally dying a sinner’s death on the cross, that we might be redeemed by our faith in him and raised with him in his resurrection. Such perfect love demands a response—we love because God first loved us.
