“Cry Out” Challenge
Cry Out! Challenge 30
One of my many loves is a loud thunderstorm! Of course, the ideal time is at night in the safety of my home. It makes bedtime so cozy. God’s love is certainly not always felt, but I do love those times when I feel wrapped up in His love just like a thunderstorm effect. But … Continue reading Cry Out! Challenge 30
Cry Out! Challenge, Day 29
Have you observed pithy t-shirts and bumper stickers during this election year? Like so many meaningless quotes on Facebook, too often, both the humorous and contradictory messages are not helpful in the least. But the other day I was rewarded with a reflective quote that really preached! “Christ did not die to whitewash us, He … Continue reading Cry Out! Challenge, Day 29
Cry Out! Challenge, Day 28
While sitting in Mission BBQ awaiting my lip-smacking meal, I reflected on a quote prominently positioned on the wall in large letters which had caught my attention: “If You Couldn’t Play Tomorrow, How Hard Would You Play Today?” It reminded me, we are never promised tomorrow~ Today is all we can count on (but maybe … Continue reading Cry Out!

Cry Out! Challenge, Day 27
My cellphone rang shortly after reading the “Cry Out!” Challenge for Day 27 this morning. It was about someone dear to me and it was news I was not prepared for or ever wanted to receive: the Chemo isn’t doing the work! I felt helpless! And I remembered what I had read earlier that morning: … Continue reading Cry Out! Challenge, Day 27
Cry Out! Challenge, Day 26
Poor Jeremiah! His ministry was smack dab in the middle of political, moral, and religious decline, accompanied by the Babylonian exile; No wonder he’s called “the weeping prophet!” His eyes are described as a fountain of tears and he weeps day and night (Jeremiah 9:1). He even laments, “Oh, that I could go away and … Continue reading Cry Out! Challenge, Day 26
Cry Out! Challenge, Day 25
We’re on our last Sabbath-Sunday for the month of October. I hope you have rested on these 4 Sundays experiencing a refreshing posture. “God gave the children of Israel the Sabbath as a rhythmic reminder that they were dependent, entirely, on Him. . . . In this rhythm of crying out, is it possible you’ve … Continue reading Cry Out! Challenge, Day 25
Cry Out! Challenge, Day 24
Have you ever missed-placed your cell phone? Yeah, sarcastic question! An easy find is just to have someone call it for us, right?! But what about when you have it set to vibrate? You need to be very quiet to hear the vibration. Likewise, many times we run through life on speaker phone and never … Continue reading Cry Out! Challenge, Day 24

“You shall serve the Lord your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you.” Exodus 23:25 Here's Laura Elliott with today's devotion: Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a “right now” attached to the end of every promise in God’s Word?

Cry Out! Challenge, Day 21
“They’re coming!” my mother screamed! On the day Babylon invaded Jerusalem, I along with many other select young sons of Israel was carried off as captives. My name is Daniel and I eventually became the King’s personal assistant proving to be better than any of the magicians and conjurers because God was with me. I … Continue reading Cry Out!
