Today’s Story

It's a big morning in the Morrison house. Change is everywhere! Brooke's starting high school, and Dad's got a new job. Even Mom's feeling anxious as her baby, Timmy, is going off to school for the first time, leaving her all alone in the big house.

If you think that's bad… WAIT! It's about to get WORSE.

First, the ever-cool Brooke totally loses it when she can't find the way to her next class! Meanwhile, her brother Justin spends his first day in seventh grade hurling in the boys room…GROSS!!!

HOW ABOUT YOU… Have you had changes in your life that were SO BIG you wondered why you ever got out of bed in the first place? Why would God let you go through days like this?

CHECK THIS OUT… Be strong and of good courage; do not be terrified; do not be discouraged for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go (Joshua 1:9). Those are words God gave to Joshua to remind us that, despite big changes in our lives, He is with us!

God sees changes in our lives as REMINDERS that we are to lean on His strength when we get into new situations—just as we are to lean on Him everyday! When changes come into your life—DON'T PANIC! Trust God to be your source of strength and courage.
