    Saturday Contemplative: In the Face of Fear Scripture: Acts 4:1–13 Courage does not mean the absence of fear. It means knowing where to turn when fear shows up. In this episode, we reflect on Peter and John standing before powerful leaders with a boldness that could only have come from being with Jesus. This contemplative prayer episode invites you to consider what courage looks like when it is rooted in the presence of God, not in personality, strength, or approval from others.

    Psalms for the Soul: Psalm 84: Daily Bible Study, Daily Devotional, Hearing Jesus Psalm 84 has been called the “pearl of the Psalms” because it clearly showcases how special it is to be in God’s presence.

    Psalms for the Soul: Psalm 83: Daily Bible Study, Daily Devotional, Hearing Jesus One of the truths of Scripture that has changed things for me is the understanding that as God’s child, His enemies are also my enemies. While we still pray for our enemies, we also realize that when we are up against something bigger than ourselves, we have a God who steps in. Today’s Key Verse: Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord- that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.

    Psalms for the Soul: Psalm 81: Daily Bible Study, Daily Devotional, Hearing Jesus
    May 11 2026
    Psalms for the Soul: Psalm 81: Daily Bible Study, Daily Devotional, Hearing Jesus What does it mean to obediently listen to God? In Psalm 81 we see God’s call to listen to Him because He desires to bless us. Over and over we see God’s heart is for reconciliation and relationship. As we study Psalm 81, we can learn from Israel’s example to listen to the one who loves us most. We also see how our disobedience can harm our relationship with God. Today’s Key Verse: If my people would but listen to me, if Israel would follow my ways, how quickly would I subdue their enemies and turn my hands against their foes.
