Last year was probably one of the toughest years I’ve been through in quite a while. In a four month time span, our beloved family dog passed away from cancer, my long-time job was eliminated and I was sent to a different division at the company, then my mother passed away suddenly, and I resigned at work. Life felt like it was spinning out of control and I could do nothing to stop it. However, through the grace of God, a lot of tears and questioning, plus a TON of prayer, I made it through the darkest moments. I am beyond grateful for WBGL and the consistent connection to prayer, worship music, and encouragement to find peace during the pain and confusion of life.
When healing doesn’t come the way we hoped, it’s easy to wonder what God is doing. In today’s Morning Focus, we take an honest look at the tension between faith and waiting. Romans 8:18 reminds us there’s a glory coming that far outweighs today’s pain. Even when the healing hasn’t come yet—God is still working. “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18
It’s easy to brace for the worst—especially when life has taught you to expect it. But what if God isn’t waiting to correct you… but to be good to you? Today’s verse reminds us that He longs to show compassion. You don’t have to brace for impact—you can wait with hope. Join Rick and McKenna for today’s episode of The Morning Focus. "Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore He will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for Him!" Isaiah 30:18
You might not realize it in the moment, but hindsight has a way of revealing the faithfulness of God. Maybe you've walked through a tough season only to look back and realize—He had been going before you the entire time. In today’s devotional, you’ll be reminded that even when the road ahead feels uncertain, you're not walking it alone. God is already there—preparing the way, placing the right people, and holding your heart steady. Let this truth sink in today: God goes before you. “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Deuteronomy 31:8
