Day 289 Be Careful What You Celebrate | Isaiah 5:20

Wisdom for the Day - Standing Strong ·

2025/10/16

Send us a text When culture hands us a mask, we ask a harder question: what are we actually celebrating? Guided by Isaiah 5:20, we take a clear-eyed look at how easy it is to label darkness as harmless fun and to shrug at what God calls good. I share why discernment matters for ordinary choices, why entertainment can quietly reshape our appetites, and how set-apart living isn’t about fear or pride—it’s about love, clarity, and a heart aligned with God. We walk through the tension many feel i...

Day 288 Don’t Fear the Enemy | James 4:7

Wisdom for the Day - Standing Strong ·

2025/10/15

Send us a text Fear tries to turn up the volume on your doubts; surrender turns up the volume on truth. Today we lean into the power and order of James 4:7—submit to God first, then resist the devil—and explore why the enemy flees when your life is aligned with Jesus, not when you rely on sheer willpower. We slow down to name the most common misquote of this verse and show how skipping the “submit” piece drains your spiritual authority and leaves you striving instead of standing. We walk thr...

Day 287 The Truth About the Occult | Leviticus 19:31

Wisdom for the Day - Standing Strong ·

2025/10/14

Send us a text What if the voice you’ve been consulting isn’t just unhelpful—it’s a counterfeit that blurs your connection to God? We open Leviticus 19:31 and face a modern reality: horoscopes, psychic readings, and spirit consultations have been normalized as entertainment, yet Scripture says they defile and distract. I share why these practices open spiritual doors we rarely realize we’ve left ajar, and how to close them with clarity and confidence. We move thoughtfully from warning to mer...

Day 286 Don’t Play With Darkness | 1 Thessalonians 5:22

Wisdom for the Day - Standing Strong ·

2025/10/13

Send us a text Some choices look small until they start steering your whole life. We open 1 Thessalonians 5:22—“Stay away from every kind of evil”—and get honest about the subtle ways “harmless” habits reshape our desires, dull our conscience, and pull us toward shadows. Rick shares a short, focused reflection on why these boundaries are not about legalism or fear, but about protection, clarity, and love from a God who sees what waits behind every door we’re tempted to crack open. Across thi...

Day 285 Stay on Guard | 1 Peter 5:8

Wisdom for the Day - Standing Strong ·

2025/10/12

Send us a text A single verse can reset your whole day. We open 1 Peter 5:8 and sit with its blunt wisdom: stay alert, watch for the enemy, and don’t confuse his roar with real power. I share how vigilance isn’t a paranoid posture but a peaceful, awake way of living—eyes open, heart guarded, and hope anchored in Christ. We talk about what prowling looks like in real life: subtle distractions, slow drift, frayed attention, and the moments we’re most vulnerable—when we’re tired, isolated, or s...

Day 284 God’s Spirit is Greater | 1 John 4:4

Wisdom for the Day - Standing Strong ·

2025/10/11

Send us a text When the world feels loud and heavy, we return to a single, anchoring line from 1 John 4:4: the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit in the world. Rick steps in for Weekends with Lauren—fresh from celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles—and guides a short, grounded meditation on belonging to God, carrying His authority, and refusing to bow to fear. This isn’t a pep talk or a slogan; it’s an invitation to reframe how you walk into ordinary spaces when pressure, cynici...

Day 283 Be a Voice of Truth | 2 Timothy 4:2

Wisdom for the Day - Standing Strong ·

2025/10/10

Send us a text When the noise gets loud and the room goes dim, how do we speak with courage without losing kindness? We explore a grounded, practical way to carry truth into everyday moments, guided by 2 Timothy 4:2: be ready in season and out, patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage. I share why silence—though it feels safe—often gives ground to confusion, and how a steady, gentle voice can cut through the fog without cutting people down. We pull apart the tension between boldness and grac...

Day 282 Stand Firm in the Power of God | Ephesians 6:11

Wisdom for the Day - Standing Strong ·

2025/10/09

Send us a text Some mornings feel like a fight before you ever leave the house. Today we slow the rush, open Ephesians 6:11, and get practical about how to “put on all of God’s armor” so you can stand firm against real pressures and subtle attacks that aim at your weak spots. We talk about the enemy’s strategy without fear-mongering, and we focus on what God has already provided: truth that steadies your mind, righteousness that guards your heart, the gospel of peace that directs your steps, ...

Day 281 Beware of the Subtle Stuff | Song of Solomon...

Wisdom for the Day - Standing Strong ·

2025/10/08

Send us a text A quiet drift can do more damage than a loud fall. We go straight to Song of Solomon 2:15 to unpack the “little foxes” that sneak into our days—subtle compromises, easy laughs, and normal habits that slowly dull our sensitivity to God. Rather than scolding or fear-mongering, we take a clear-eyed look at how attention shapes affection, how entertainment disciples the heart, and why small, repeated inputs can either nurture the vineyard of love or strip it bare without us noticin...

Day 280 The Truth About Witchcraft | Deuteronomy...

Wisdom for the Day - Standing Strong ·

2025/10/07

Send us a text The line between “harmless fun” and a harmful open door can be thinner than it looks. We take a straight path through Deuteronomy 18:10–12 and ask hard but hopeful questions about fortune telling, sorcery, omens, and spell casting—why Scripture forbids them, what they promise, and how those promises mask a deeper pull away from the God who loves and protects us. Rather than scolding, we aim for clarity and care: God’s boundaries aren’t about withholding joy; they’re about closi...

Day 279 The Danger of Blending In | Romans 12:2

Wisdom for the Day - Standing Strong ·

2025/10/06

Send us a text Ever feel that tug to just go along, agree, and keep the peace—even when something inside you protests? We’re taking a clear-eyed look at the pressure to blend in and letting Romans 12:2 reframe how we think, choose, and show up. The goal isn’t to be louder; it’s to be renewed—so your life shines without the need to shout. We open with a simple truth: compromise rarely arrives as a big decision; it slips in through small choices that dull conviction. From there, we unpack what...

Day 278 Choose the Light | John 3:19–20

Wisdom for the Day - Standing Strong ·

2025/10/05

Send us a text When the world tells us to keep our flaws under wraps, the quiet ache for freedom only gets louder. We’re opening John 3:19–20 to explore why hiding feels safe, why it isn’t, and how stepping into the light with Jesus leads to real healing, courage, and peace. This short weekend reflection challenges the false comfort of darkness and offers a simple, guided pathway into prayer, confession, and renewal. We unpack the spiritual and practical dynamics of secrecy: how rationalizat...

Day 277 God’s Word is the Standard | Isaiah 8:19–20

Wisdom for the Day - Standing Strong ·

2025/10/04

Send us a text Happy Birthday to WFTD Producer.. Kimmy Shirley! Ever notice how the loudest voices show up when you’re most unsure—whispers, hunches, rituals, and hot takes promising instant clarity? We go straight to Isaiah 8:19–20 to ask a sharper question: not “How do I get answers fast?” but “Who do I trust first?” When life feels noisy, the reflex to consult trending guidance can feel harmless, even helpful. Yet Scripture makes a bold claim: God’s Word is the standard, and the Holy Spiri...

Day 276 Do Not Open the Door | Ephesians 4:27

Wisdom for the Day - Standing Strong ·

2025/10/03

Send us a text A single crack can change the whole house. We walk through Ephesians 4:27—“For anger gives a foothold to the devil”—and unpack how tiny compromises become open doors, why they’re so easy to miss, and how to shut them with clarity, courage, and grace. Rick lays out a simple, practical path: ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any footholds, confess what He shows, repent in truth, and declare the enemy has no legal right to remain. It’s short, focused, and meant to help you reset your ...

Day 275 The Enemy’s Disguise | 2 Corinthians 11:14

Wisdom for the Day - Standing Strong ·

2025/10/02

Send us a text What if the brightest thing in your day is actually leading you into the dark? We unpack 2 Corinthians 11:14 and explore how spiritual counterfeits dress up as “good vibes,” clever storytelling, or trendy self-help, making compromise feel like wisdom and bondage feel like freedom. I walk through the subtle ways entertainment normalizes the occult and why curiosity, without discernment, leaves us open to the oldest lie in the book. Together, we take a calm but honest look at ho...

Day 274 Resisting and Fighting Evil | James 4:7

Wisdom for the Day - Standing Strong ·

2025/10/01

Send us a text The most dangerous battles aren’t loud—they’re quiet, subtle, and disguised as harmless compromises. We open day 274 with a clear roadmap from James 4:7 that reframes spiritual warfare: surrender first, then stand. Rather than white-knuckling our way through temptation, we talk about aligning our thoughts and choices under God’s authority so the fight isn’t fueled by anxiety or pride, but by grace and clarity. From there, we get practical about resistance. We look at the every...

Day 273 What We’ve Learned | Proverbs 1:7

Wisdom for the Day - Standing Strong ·

2025/09/30

Send us a text What if the gap between information and transformation is reverence? We take a focused look at Proverbs 1:7—“Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge”—and unpack why awe, not ego, is where learning truly begins. Rather than collecting spiritual facts, we explore the practice of building a life that’s grounded in humility, patience, gratitude, and a daily return to Scripture. Across this reflective close to our Lessons for Life series, we trace the themes that kept ...

Day 272 Stay Teachable Until the End | Proverbs 9:9

Wisdom for the Day - Standing Strong ·

2025/09/29

Send us a text What happens when we reach a point in our spiritual journey where we think we've learned enough? Today's reflection challenges this complacency by diving into Proverbs 9:9 and exploring the profound connection between wisdom and teachability. True wisdom isn't measured by how much you know, but by how willing you remain to learn more. "Instruct the wise and they will be even wiser. Teach the righteous and they will learn even more." This counterintuitive principle reveals some...

Wisdom for the Day - Standing Strong ·

Today's spiritual reflection dives deep into Proverbs 16:9 - "We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps" - a powerful reminder about who truly holds control in our lives.
