by Mark Buckner with images from Sam Burns For as long as I can remember – which is getting to be a LONG time! – those of us who love riding motorcycles and have devoted a large part of our lives to preserving and protecting our way of life have been telling anyone who would listen that the enemies of motorcycling don’t just want to pass more and more restrictive laws where we’re concerned. Their ultimate goal is to get us off the road entirely.

The One Who Gave it All Follow God's example‚ therefore‚ as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love‚ just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. – Ephesians 5:1-2 Shel Silverstein is known for his children's stories that often carry a deep meaning for people of all ages. One of his more popular stories was a poem called The Giving Tree‚ about a tree who loves a little boy and finds purpose in making the boy happy. At first the boy desires nothing but to climb on the tree's branches‚ eat apples‚ and lie in the shade. But as the boy grows‚ his desires change. So the tree gives him apples to sell for money to have real fun‚ branches to build a house for a wife and family‚ and its trunk so he can build a boat and go sailing. One day‚ the boy returns. By now‚ the tree has given him everything – all that remains is an old stump. The boy‚ now an old man‚ needs only a quiet place to sit and rest. And the Giving Tree gives once more. That Giving Tree is a lot like Jesus‚ who emptied Himself to come to earth and die on the cross to give us new life – because of His great love. You are the boy in the story‚ and Jesus is lavishing His love on you at this very moment. He will meet your every need‚ and will give Himself time and time again to do it! Prayer Challenge: Thank God for the incredible love of Jesus – that He gives you all you need. Questions for Thought: How does it make you feel that Jesus laid aside His heavenly majesty to die on the cross for you? What would it look like for you to love others like that?

A Prayer for Peace in Unstable TimesBy Emily Rose Massey "You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you‚ because he trusts in you" (Isaiah 26:3‚ ESV).  My husband and I are each the first-born children in our families. Although there isn't any science behind first-born personalities‚ psychologists have taken note of the common traits regarding those who have been born first among their siblings.  In general‚ firstborn children have been found to be responsible‚ assertive‚ task-oriented‚ perfectionistic‚ and supporters of authority. With all of those leadership characteristics‚ a great amount of weight can be placed upon the shoulders of the individuals prone to be the rule-follower and goal chaser. This can often lead to much stress and anxiety if not constantly kept in check. When two firstborns marry each other‚ they can run together with fervor to achieve dreams and become very productive as a family‚ but the home also needs peace to reign in it most of all. And not just a "problem-free" type of peace – a peace that passes all understanding regardless of what is happening. Only the Lord Jesus Christ can offer us this kind of perfect peace. In God's providence‚ one of the reasons we named our firstborn child‚ Isaiah‚ was because of a very special verse found in the book of Isaiah regarding this kind of perfect peace that my husband and I know that we need every single day. Right in the middle of a prophecy regarding the land of Judah‚ the prophet Isaiah uttered these beautiful words about the Lord and His peace in chapter 26: "You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you‚ because he trusts in you" (Isaiah 26:3‚ ESV).  For many of us‚ these last few years have felt a bit unstable. We have all experienced some form of worry‚ stress‚ and anxiety from the unknown future. From viruses‚ suddenly losing loved ones‚ empty store shelves‚ job losses‚ rising home prices‚ and hefty grocery bills week after week – we have all needed to find perfect peace. Our answer is found in fixing our gaze upon the Lord and anchoring our minds to His unwavering truth. No matter what is going on around us‚ we can find unshakable confidence in the Lord because He is ever-faithful to us. This is why staying in the Word consistently is so important when experiencing stressful or unstable times. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17) and the more we are studying the Scriptures‚ the stronger our trust in God becomes. The Word of God is so powerful‚ and the more we study and meditate upon it‚ the stronger our foundation will be in Christ‚ and we will continually know how to look to Him any time stress and anxiety try to overtake us. Let us always be quick to ask the Lord for His sustaining grace and help in our time of need‚ looking to Him always because He cares for us. No matter what is going on around us‚ even if it seems like everything is falling apart‚ we must remember that God holds the entire universe in His hands. He is completely sovereign. Nothing passes through His hands by accident. He is in total control and has a great plan regarding all of it; We can trust in Him and rest in His great‚ perfect peace. Let us set our mind upon Him. Let's pray: Lord‚ thank You that You want us to set our minds upon You at all times. Thank You that there is nowhere I can go that You are not there with me. Thank You for having a hold of my life‚ even as I feel like everything is crumbling around me. I confess that I have let stress take a hold of my life rather than You. I have tried to control things in my life‚ and at the same time‚ I have let anxiety control my mood‚ my attitude‚ and my actions. Lord‚ I repent of this!  Please Father‚ help me see what is stressful or worrisome in my life and hand it over to You. Help me actively think about Your goodness to me. I am so hopeful for my eternity with you‚ Lord‚ where the presence of sin and fear will be no more! Help me look back on all the ways You have rescued me from my fearful moments and remember where You have always been faithful to me in the midst of great trials. Help me to rest in the truth of Your goodness and power today. Thank You‚ Lord‚ for Your perfect peace.In Jesus' Name‚ Amen.

January 25‚ 2024 The One Who Can Truly Comfort UsLYSA TERKEURST  Lee en español "Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence‚ so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:16 (NIV) What heavy burdens are weighing you down right now? A situation that seems impossible to figure out.Financial stress and pressure.Hope so long deferred it makes your heart sick.Anxiety over your child's future.Broken promises from someone you thought you could trust. Whether you're experiencing one of these or something else‚ here is my prayer for you: May you catch even the slightest glimpse of the tender mercy of our Lord Jesus. For one drop of God's mercy is better than an ocean of the world's comfort. You see‚ Jesus deeply understands and cares for us. If only we could see the wonder of His love. The skies He paints‚ the flowers He blooms‚ the plans He arranges just for us. The love letters He's written to us throughout the Bible. These are all mercies from Him. The world will offer us relief in the form of escapes. But trying to fill our aching hearts with things that won't satisfy us is like trying to fill an ocean with a tablespoon. It's never enough. So we clench our fists and keep trying to find something to comfort us. If only we knew how to open our hands and catch the drops of His tender mercy. If only we knew how to release the weight of trying to fix it all ourselves. If only we knew how to stop in the midst of it all and whisper‚ Dear Jesus ... help me. Just a whispered breath forming the wholeness of His name carries all the power‚ wisdom and grace we need to handle what we face. If only we knew. If you find yourself wanting to escape today‚ ask Jesus to help you‚ comfort you and direct you. Hebrews 4:15-16 reminds us how approachable He is‚ how He understands our struggles and graciously offers us help and hope: "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses‚ but we have one who has been tempted in every way‚ just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence‚ so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need" (NIV). When we're at a breaking point‚ "the God of all comfort" (2 Corinthians 1:3‚ NIV) will sustain us. Indeed‚ one drop of the Lord's mercy is better than an ocean of the world's temporary comforts. Dear Jesus‚ I don't want to spend another day chasing after things that will never satisfy me. Instead‚ I pray that I would begin to see truly how high and how deep is the love You have for me. Help me notice You at work in my life‚ and teach me to fully embrace Your love. In Jesus' Name‚ Amen. OUR FAVORITE THINGS Did you know that your words have the power to bring someone else comfort?
