On Running With a Partner
My husband and I like to run before the demands of our day of day begin. That means dragging ourselves out of bed early, often when we’d much rather sleep. As the days get shorter and colder it is even harder. I wake up, get dressed, and honor the commitment we made, but only because I know I am not alone.
The Bible says that Jesus is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. (Proverbs 18:24).
Like a great running partner, Jesus is with me, I am not alone.

Jesus has been present since the very beginning of time. Many may think He made His first appearance in the New Testament, however, mentions, whispers, and echoes of Him can be found throughout the Old Testament. In fact, there are hundreds of clues and promises about Jesus throughout the early scriptures that are fulfilled by Him in the New Testament.
Join me over at Faith Gateway to hear about a devotional for your children that uncovers Jesus not just in the New Testament but throughout the whole Bible.
This Month: Learning What the Bible Says About Grace
Because of grace, my kids are able to live in and embrace the righteousness that they’ve already received because of their faith in Christ.
God’s grace has saved them. It doesn’t come from anything they do. But it is God’s gift. (Ephesians 2:8) And because of it, they can they approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so they can receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Hebrews 4:16) How sweet is that?
This month I am focusing on the topic of GRACE with my children.

Not only that, God’s grace equips and empowers them with all that they need, in abundance, for every good work. (2 Corinthians 9:8) Even in their weakness, His grace is sufficient, In fact in their weakness, God’s power is free to operate. (2 Corinthians 12:9) It makes up for their lack and allows them to use the gifts and talents they have been given, coupled with God’s resources, to serve and impact others for good.
