    A Love Letter to Christmas

    December 24, 2023 /

    Merry Christmas Divas! Man, I prayed all fall and December for words or meaning or a theme from God to share with you all here on Devotional Diva. I always do something special on Devotional Diva for Christmas, because it’s my favorite holiday, of course. But nothing came. No guidance, no whispers, no inspiration, no creativity. Not until today, in my shower of all places. And now I’m proud to say I wrote this special little diddy just in the NICK of time. (No pun intended Saint Nick.) When I was a kid, we always spent Christmas Eve at my grandmother‘s house. It was magical. My grandmother was and is…

    Living Worthy of The Gospel

    September 21, 2020 /

    Editor’s Note: This is a guest story by Tiffany Wright. Find links to follow Tiffany below! Philippians 1:27 NIV says “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the Gospel.” What is worthy of the gospel? My walk is not perfect. But, as I move into another season, through the first half of 2020, dealing with COVID and race relations, I lean into the Word of God so that I continue…

    It's that sigh of relief when you hear the garage door open and the kids start jumping up and down or when he texts and says, "be home soon". It's a moment like no other. Your partner, your love, your friend, your help...he's home.

    God’s Way or Your Way?

    June 19, 2018 /

    God’s Way or Your Way? [This is a guest story by contributor Agnes Amos-Coleman. If you missed her last post, it’s right here: The What Ifs. This post is regarding following God’s way rather than our own…such a good reminder!] I don’t know about you, in the past, I have prayed for situations in my life to change and in the process, I attempted to manipulate God for answers. In this situation, God did answer my prayer but it wasn’t His direct will for my life but His permissive will. As you can imagine the consequences of the answers to my prayer were disastrous but because of the mercy of God,…

    Where There Is Peace

    May 22, 2018 /

    This is a guest poem by veteran Diva writer Ana Nunez. A little over a year ago, Ana submitted a devotional called "Fully Known and Truly Loved" (read that here.) and this year, she said she was working on some poetry. I feel like Ana's poem, "Where There Is Peace" is such a good companion piece to that first devotional about God's love for us!

    Are You Easily Angered?

    March 13, 2018 /

    Anger is the result of unmet expectations – some expectations are unrealistic and some are right. Regardless of the type of anger we are dealing with, the Bible cautions us in (Ephesians 4:26-27) that in our anger we should neither sin, nor let the sun go down while we are still angry and not give the devil a foothold in our lives.

    The Black Cat: Scripture vs Superstitions

    February 27, 2018 /

    I was almost home when I turned the corner and continued to down the street. All of a sudden a black cat darted from one side of the street to the other. At once my mind said, “Oh no! That’s bad luck!” I quickly realized the thought and rejected it. “I don’t believe in superstitions anymore!” I said back to the thought. I continued, “I believe in God’s word not in superstitions,”

    Have you ever been stressed? I would imagine most of us have been or currently are under a lot of stress. Life is stressful and messy at times. When you combine "ex" with "stress," you get "ex-stress," which means without stress. How can we live without stress?
