Decompress

Posted on October 26, 2021 by Catey Stover in Victory Call

In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul. Psalm 94:19 Life gets crazy busy sometimes.  Whether it is of our own doing or things that come our way through circumstances beyond our control – life can be hectic. I have recently come through such a season.  Frankly, for me, it was a combination of […]

In Theory

Have you ever been to a women’s retreat or heard a Sunday sermon or even a podcast on your way to work that was just what you needed to hear?  You knew change was needed in your life and that message helped you see exactly how to make that change.  You felt motivated. You could […]

Looking UP

Posted on October 22, 2021 by Catey Stover in Victory Call

Years ago, I was walking from my office to the Raws Building, intent on my mission as usual.  I was looking at the ground or shrubs around me when I happened to glance up.  Right there alongside the Raws building was a beautiful tree full of bright fuchsia flower buds.  I was startled because I […]

Gloriously Uncomfortable

Posted on October 21, 2021 by Catey Stover in Victory Call

Have you experienced seasons of knowing that God is pressing in? That you are on the potter’s wheel and His hands are upon you stretching, shaping, molding, recreating, perfecting and refining you, His child. But now, O LORD, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the […]

Worthy of the Gospel

Posted on October 20, 2021 by Catey Stover in Victory Call

It caught my eye. “Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ…” Philippians 1:27 It got me to wondering, what does a life worthy of the gospel look like? I did a little research.  The word worthy in this context means suitably, worthily, in a manner worthy of[i], appropriately, as becometh, after […]

Active Resistance

Posted on October 19, 2021 by Catey Stover in Victory Call

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7 Do you ever feel like you are trapped in a particular type of sin pattern?  You keep confessing and confessing but make little or no long-term progress.  It is discouraging isn’t it? Confession is agreeing with God that His way […]

The New Past

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17) I have heard this verse my whole life. It was on the wall of the beautiful Chapel at America’s Keswick and I saw it every time I went to church […]

Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.  (Galatians 6:2 NIV)   Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Ping. Ping was an expert gardener who lived in ancient China under the rule of an old emperor.  One day, the emperor gathered up all of […]

The Beauty of Weakness

Posted on October 14, 2021 by Catey Stover in Victory Call

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then […]

God in the Mess

Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Go back to the land of your fathers and to your relatives, and I will be with you.”   (Genesis 31:3 NIV)   Have you ever felt overwhelmed by your past?  Have you ever felt disqualified to serve God because of the things you’ve done?  At this point in […]

Tumbling Stones

Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up. You will increase my honor and comfort me once again. (Psalm 71:20-21 NIV) My sister and brother-in-law ran a business for many years making small metal pins […]

No More Tears

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.  (Revelation 21:4 ESV)   My Dad was a strong, athletic man his whole life, so when he collapsed and ended up in the […]

In Training…

Posted on October 8, 2021 by Catey Stover in Victory Call

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.  (1 Thessalonians 5:11 NIV)   Some people I know just seem to always do it right; they seem to know just the right thing to say at the exact moment that it needs to be said.  Then there are some of […]
