Caregiver Resources

Daily Devotions

March 3

Like a child being scolded for grabbing a cookie before dinner, we often do not associate rules with joy. When we read about God’s laws in the Bible, what we tend to focus on is the restriction. You may even ask yourself how the Mosaic law–full of its sacrifices and commandments–can bring life?

In the Parable of the Talents, the servants were entrusted with their master’s property for the duration of his journey. He gave different amounts to each, but all three were given something. The two that used what they were given to create something more were praised. The one who simply hid away the resources was chastised for not understanding who the master was, and for not working to make more out of what he had been given.

It wasn’t long into my caregiving journey when I learned grief is common. We can grieve loss of things, change of situations, and of course, loss of people. Every and any day could be met with something life-altering that caused me to cry out to Jesus in heartache.

Family caregiving often brings us to a place where we wonder if we can go on another day. Fear whispers “What if I can’t keep doing this?” and in our weakness it is easy to give in to the worries and exhaustion. How we go forward in these moments is important.

When it comes to family caregiving, we were very blessed. We lived very close to the hospital, had family ready and willing to help care for my healthy kids, and we never went without our basic needs being met. Despite these benefits there was still conflict.

It took me a long time to realize that there are different types of maturity. Being able to hold a job responsibly or care for a loved one does not mean that you are spiritually mature. The spiritually mature Christian puts faith into practice and is equipped to teach others.

Have you ever noticed how many predictions are made every New Year? Newscasters all throw in their two cents about sports, finances and politics. It brought to mind this word from Jeremiah. These people speak visions of their own minds, not the Word of God, and we are reminded that we must be careful who we listen to.

The theme of the book of James is how we live out our faith—being a doer of the word and not a hearer only. Trouble had entered the early church by way of conflict among the people. James teaches how the people may seek divine wisdom to unify the believers once again.

December 30

Have you ever tried to find the best lighting for a room? There are a lot of things to consider, such as the room’s use, the size of the room, and what lighting is currently in place. Designers will often tell you to have light set at three different heights to account for different needs. In contrast, the average Jewish home in Jesus’ day usually had one small oil lamp that would be placed on a stand to give maximum lighting to the room.

December 29

We do not naturally drift toward holiness. The Bible shows this clearly from the time of the original sin. Man has repeatedly moved away from the LORD to follow the myriad gods of other nations, as well as his own desires. Even today, with the help of the Holy Spirit, we must be intentional in our efforts to walk according to God’s commandments.
