Why does God do things the way he does? Scripture says his ways are not our ways … well, no doubt. We would always choose the easy way. We would always choose the fastest route. We would certainly choose the straightest path with clear sight of the destination. But God chooses the ghetto route. God chooses the round about, windy way that takes long…

Have you ever asked God, “WHY is this happening?” I have. I think we all have. It’s human nature to look at disappointing situations and wonder why the God who loves us and can change anything and everything he wishes, would allow these things to happen in our lives. God, why haven’t you changed this? In all this time, in all your ways, why has thi…

We’ve been studying the book of Judges and we see the cycle. God’s people did evil in his sight. “You have not listened to me. You have put other things in my place and they have become your priority. You no longer seek me, you’re seeking something else first.” So the Lord hands them over to the control of their enemies until they cry out to him ag…

Do you feel like you work hard, but something always happens and you never have success? Like all your work is for nothing? You work and you work and you work, but there never seems to be a harvest after all the work? If that’s you, you have no idea how absolutely perfect the timing of today’s devotional is! We will be looking at a story of God’s p…

What you have is what God will use. What he gives you will be what is required. Why do we become so hyper focused on what we don’t have and then spend our lives trying to get more? Our entire existence gets wrapped up in trying to earn more so we can get more. For what? Really, does all of that really make you happy, or does it add the stress of tr…

What could you do when you’re empowered, driven and directed by the Holy Spirit? Answer: Absolutely anything God desired. No matter the odds, no matter the circumstances, no matter your limitations. WITH GOD, nothing would be impossible. This is the power you seek. This is the direction you seek. The Holy Spirit living, working and flowing through …

Where is there distress in your life? Where are you burdened and suffering? Do you know that God wants to rescue you? He wants to restore you. But first, he wants you to learn the lesson he has for you here so you don’t just come right back to this place of suffering once again. This week we’re in a new book of the Bible. We will make our way throu…

This morning, after asking God to use me as his vessel to speak to you, I randomly opened my Bible and found a word I had written several months ago in bold letters. It said REPAIR. Repair is needed in your life, isn’t it? Something has gotten broken. Something isn’t working. Something is hurting. Your great big God knew there would come a time whe…

You may have been totally wrong and you may have been doing the wrong thing for a really long time, but God can turn that all around now. He can pull you out of the mess you created and save you from this. There’s only one thing you have to do. You must sincerely humble yourself and seek God. Lay it all down – the excuses, the guilt, the shame, the…

Proverbs 4:23, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” This is where we start for any desired or necessary change because this is where every single thing in your life originates. Your heart. Any issue you have is from a heart issue. Any battle you fight within is a heart battle. NLT: Guard your heart above all else…

Have you ever had to clean up a mess you didn’t create? Did someone else’s problem become your problem and by association you were negatively affected? Maybe right now you’re dealing with something that wasn’t your fault, but it is your reality. It’s not fair, but it’s for real yours now and what you do […]…

There are things happening in your life right now that you don’t understand. Things you can’t control. However, there are clues all around you to remind you of who IS in control. Reminders of how you’ve always been taken care of. Leftovers of what has happened for you before. What leftovers do you have? Leftovers […]…

Why do you say what you do about yourself? Why would you ever dismiss yourself from the best offerings of life because of a limitation you’ve accepted as your truth, but it quite simply doesn’t have to be? What you’re believing and what you’re saying MATTERS. It matters what you believe about God. It matters […]…

I know you’re staring down some really big, overwhelming stuff right now. I know you’re already thinking this really isn’t likely for you. I know there’s a part of you that really wants to dream and imagine it being possible, but there’s an even bigger part of you that discounts the possibility and brings you […]…

2 Chronicles 25:8, “The Lord has the power to help you or trip you up.” Do you want God to help you? Well, we must ask, what warrants God’s help? If you feel God has been tripping you up instead, we must also ask, what warrants God’s resistance? It’s actually quite simple and there’s no […]By Pamela Crim | Daily Devotional for Women

Every single one of us have made mistakes. The problem is, some of us believe making that mistake makes us a mistake. The enemy of your soul loves the shame game because it eats away at your soul. Shame corrodes the very part of you that believes you are capable of change. Shame is a […]By Pamela Crim | Daily Devotional for Women

When God created you, he had an image in mind. He had a life’s purpose and destiny envisioned for you, then he equipped you perfectly for it. Part of the equipping we often miss is the DESIRE for the life we were created for. That’s right, he not only makes you the right person to […]By Pamela Crim | Daily Devotional for Women

2 Chronicles 20 After this, the armies of the Moabites, Ammonites, and some of the Meunites[a] declared war on Jehoshaphat.2 Messengers came and told Jehoshaphat, “A vast army from Edom[b] is marching against you from beyond the Dead Sea.[c] They are already at Hazazon-tamar.” (This was another name for En-gedi.) 3 Jehoshaphat was terrified by […]…

Where do you turn first when you have a decision to make? Where do you go when there’s a problem? I’m not talking theoretically, I’m talking very practically. How do you make your decisions? What determines your next step? Who do you go to with your problem? Who’s care do you seek? Did you know […]By Pamela Crim | Daily Devotional for Women

God has been waiting for this very day. Waiting for you to just come to him with your broken pieces, your disappointment, your fears and your worries, and seek him with your whole heart. Girl, why did it have to get this bad before you finally came to him? Why do we wait? I’m not […]By Pamela Crim | Daily Devotional for Women

God has promises for your life. However, promises are a gift that is never forced. It is always up to the recipient to claim the gifts of God’s promises. What unclaimed promises are waiting for you, my sister? Yesterday, in episode #1893: A Heart To Do More, we read all of 1 Chronicles 17. David […]By Pamela Crim | Daily Devotional for Women

This morning, before sitting down to study God’s word and write today’s devotional, I inquired of God what he wanted of me specifically. Here’s what he told me: “Be unrushed. I have words for you to receive and then teach. Stay attuned to my Spirit as I guide. I have a very special message for […]By Pamela Crim | Daily Devotional for Women

Have you ever done something, and while you were doing it, you knew it wasn’t right, but you did it any way. That little voice within was talking, but you didn’t want to listen. The inner alarms were ringing, but you just kept on. I have a funny little story for you … If you […]By Pamela Crim | Daily Devotional for Women

The book of 1 Chronicles begins with chapters of genealogy all the way back to the very first man, Adam. Long lists of strange names that today seem rather unimportant to us. 4 chapters in, after reading over names of fathers and their sons, sprinkled with a few wives and daughters names, there’s a surprising […]…
