May 26: Hold On When Life Feels Shaky

-

 



by: Bonnie Bodden 


Key Text “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” — Hebrews 10:23 (NIV)

Life can feel overwhelming sometimes! We all face situations that create uncertainty that can make us feel unsteady. But Hebrews 10:23 reminds us that our hope is not built on perfect circumstances, it is built on a faithful God.

As women, we often carry so much internally. We overthink conversations, worry about the future, compare ourselves to others and put pressure on ourselves to have everything figured out. Social media tells us to curate a perfect life while secretly battling fear, insecurity and exhaustion behind the scenes.

But God never asked us to hold our lives together by ourselves.

Biblical hope is not wishful thinking. It is confidence rooted in the character of God. It means even when your emotions are shaky, your foundation does not have to be. God’s faithfulness is not based on your current season. He is always faithful.

If life feels shaky right now, let this be your reminder that your future is not resting in your own ability to control everything. It is resting in the hands of a faithful God. He sees the parts of your story that feel uncertain and He is still working even when you cannot see it yet.

Hold on and trust in God.

March 16 Anxious but Anchored

Carol Nyack Shepherdess Cayman Islands Conference of SDA Theme: Trusting God when anxiety creeps in . It was a cool February evening, and I was reaching the end of my rope in more ways than one. I was partially laid up with a broken ankle, having just shattered my beautiful flowerpot. At the same time, vacuuming, and then, minutes later, discovered that my unlocked car had been ransacked during the night. I glanced at my husband resting on the sofa. He remained unbothered by my recounting of events. I then contacted our older son. While on the phone, my husband calmly said, "Ask him to come take me to the hospital." There was no complaint of pain, no urgency in his voice—just a quiet request. At this point, I knew prayer was more important than questioning.  Our son arrived, and just as my husband turned to kiss me and leave, I grabbed him to pray. On the way to the hospital, things took a drastic do...

January 11: Help! I Am A Worrier.

Help! I Am A Worrier. Author : Sharon Campbell-Danvers, Shepherdess, Educator Theme : Contentment in Christ. Finding peace and joy in God regardless of circumstances Peace of mind is a valuable commodity that cannot have a price tag placed on it. If worrying was a product, I would be rich.  Peace of mind is precious and closely aligned with our mental health and well-being. Truth be told, so many things seek to distract us from what is truly important and what gives us true peace. This is a struggle for me. I need a piece of peace! A big slice. Whopper version, supersized. Women are confronted with many issues that impact their peace of mind. The woman with the issue of blood was in a deep place for twelve years (Mark 5:25-34). Mary and Martha watched their brother die and wept (John 11:1-44). The woman at the well was searching for deeper meaning in her life without even knowing it until she came in contact with Jesus (John 4:1-26). Hannah was troubled at home and could find no ...

June 15: The Coat of Many Blessings

The Coat of Many Blessing's Theme: God’s Favor on my “Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors.” Genesis 37:3 (KJV) Jolen Whyte King’s Seventh-Day Adventist  There’s a garment woven not by human hands but by the sovereign grace of God. A vibrant coat that marks you as His chosen, beloved child. When doubt whispers that you don’t belong, remember: this coat is not earned by perfection or pedigree. It’s His gift, threaded with mercy and purpose, meant to cover every wound and illuminate every step. As you turn each page of your life, you will discover those threads of grace transforming even the darkest chapters into a tapestry of hope. I know what it’s like to have nothing to my name, dropping out of high school at fifteen, facing teenage motherhood, and hearing every voice around me say my story was over before it began. Yet in the midst of that wilderness, God quietly began to stitch His favor ...
