“Great Day” Wednesday 07/22/2026
When our lives are broken we find hope from the words of King David; “Hear me, O Lord, when I cry out! Have mercy on me and answer me! Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me.”
Let our tears become tears of joy as we ask God to restore our broken lives for His glory.

How many times when we see someone in need do we look the other way?
Maybe if our conscience really bothers us, we might go so far as to ask God’s mercy on them.
After all, the world is so big, and there’s so much need, we don’t know where to start, so we close our eyes and move on.
To quote Mandy Hale; “To make a difference in someone’s life you don’t have to be brilliant, rich, beautiful or perfect. You just have to care.”
To those in need the smallest thing can make all the difference.
So, look again, perhaps we are the ones who need God’s mercy!

It’s often a long, tough road getting from where we are to where we need to be.
Along the way, there are many who encourage us; parents, family, spouse, friends, and of course our Heavenly Father who gives us both direction and the strength to reach our destination. Our song today is a tribute to all who help us move forward.

The Chapel Quotes
“Our private lives should be where the love of Jesus should be poured out into the people we love the most. Our private lives are much more important than our public image. At the end of our lives what an incredible goal it would be to be respected most by those who know us the best. Every human authority functions best when it is exercised under the lordship of Christ. God is above all and meant to be above all of our relationships. In the dynamic relationships that we have in the home, whether it is marriage, children or in the workplace it ultimately doesn’t come down to whether they are deserving, but is the Lord deserving. Ultimately we are doing all things for the Lord.”
“Study after study shows that the women in the household are the ones that are leading the family spiritually, are the ones pointing us to go to church and to be plugged in and to serve and to pray and read the Bible. Flourishing marriages happen when the husband loves as Christ loved, and the wife submits as Christ on earth was in full submission to the Father. Servants obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye service as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, work at it with all of your heart as working for the Lord and not for men. Don’t let another person’s actions determine your obedience, let Christ’s lordship determine your response.”

Devotion 07/19/2026
Our Devotion, “A Ticking Clock” is by Nicole E. Dynes of Berne, Indiana, a professional writing major at Taylor University and a book reviewer for Church Libraries and Christian Book Previews.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “But the Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him.” Habakkuk 2:20 (NIV)
Tick… tick… tick… tick…. Listen closely. Can you hear any clocks nearby? Can you see the second hand marching past the numbers, dancing in step with the ticking? Try to be as quiet as you possibly can, and listen for a moment. What do you hear?
As we hurry through life, rushing from place to place and meeting to meeting, we are usually too busy to quiet ourselves and listen for the clocks around us. Instead, we are trying to race against the clock to get everything done. It isn’t until we slow down and silence our thoughts (and our TVs, CDs, and MP3 players) that we hear the faint ticking of a clock keeping time.
It’s the same way with God. In order to hear Him, we need to listen. If we keep cranking up the noise or clacking away on our computers, how are we going to hear what He is saying to us?
PRAYER: Lord, help me to still my mind and my surroundings and listen for the clocks you place in my life.
Book Review 07/22/2026
This Book Review is by Olivia Lauritzen, a professional writing major at Taylor University
Rediscovering the Holy Spirit: God’s Perfecting Presence in Creation, Redemption, and Everyday Life
by Michael Horton
Zondervan, PB, 336 pages
Michael Horton does a solid job of explaining where the Holy Spirit is and how it works. Horton bypasses stepping on toes or calling names in regard to debates and arguments across the centuries as to the role of the Holy Spirit in both the Old and New Testaments. Instead, he uses the full weight of scriptural authority to emphasize how integral the Spirit is in every moment that believers draw breath. Beginning with an entire chapter that defines his language (from simple vocabulary to advanced theological terminology), Horton then builds layer after layer of cross-referenced evidences for the complete and total work of the Holy Spirit since before the beginning of human time. Because the text explains the supportive and nurturing role of the indwelling Spirit, this book is very encouraging to those who have a strong belief in prayer, in faith, and in divine intervention. Viewing the Holy Spirit as a Comforter is reassuring to many who find themselves feeling abandoned, alone, or unloved. This book explores the impact this part of the Godhead has on people of faith.
