When Everything Falls Apart | Psalm 46 | Daily Devotions | Pastor Jim Cymbala
Faith is easy when everything is going our way. But when things fall apart—someone gets sick, a job is lost, the market crashes—do we still rest in Jesus? We should, because God is our refuge and our strength! He is ever-present and helps us when we’re in trouble. Even if the mountains fall into the sea, as the psalmist wrote, we can trust God today and always.

Fake Love | Psalm 45 | Daily Devotions | Pastor Jim Cymbala
Do we really love God? When we spend mindless hours consuming worldly content that Jesus would hate, we aren’t loving Him very well. We are called to imitate Christ, so we should love what He loves and hate what He hates. We need to inspect ourselves and our choices so we don’t give God fake love!

Why Is Life Unfair? | Psalm 44 | Daily Devotions | Pastor Jim Cymbala
Sometimes life isn't fair. So what’s the answer when we ask God “Why?” Martyrs and mistreated apostles surely thought life was unfair, but they knew that their rewards were in heaven, not here on earth. Let’s remember that today too. The Bible says, “If we endure, we will also reign with him” (2 Tim. 2:12, NIV).

Look for Light! | Psalm 43 | Daily Devotions | Pastor Jim Cymbala
When God shines light on us, everything changes. As we read His Word, it's light—like brightness coming into the darkness of our minds and souls. We can have freedom from discouragement and depression when we look for the light of God’s love and care! Yes, problems come in life, but we know that our Creator will see us through them all. Amen!

Wait for God | Psalm 42 | Daily Devotions | Pastor Jim Cymbala
One of the strongest expressions of faith is waiting on the God, even when we don’t see immediate answers to prayers. We can handle the delay, because God wouldn't lie. He made a promise, and He's going to come through. Wait for the breakthrough—don't give up just because the answer hasn't come yet.
