PIVOT: Embracing Life’s Unexpected Turns with Grace

Heart Happy

Audio By Carbonatix

Last week, I gave my high school students a writing assignment. We were going to craft stories for a Christian children’s magazine and submit them. The excitement in the room was contagious. But then, I discovered the magazine doesn’t accept submissions from high schoolers.

First, I was upset. These teens were pouring their hearts into their work. Second, I was sad. They’d been so thrilled about the project. Third, I was embarrassed. My carefully laid plan had unraveled, and I’d have to break the news to them.

As I wrestled with what to say, one word came to mind: PIVOT.

To pivot means to turn or rotate, like on a hinge. It’s about shifting direction while staying anchored to something solid.

So, I stood before my class and asked, “Has life always gone exactly as you expected?” Not a single hand went up.

“Me neither,” I admitted. Then, I shared a story from my own journey in Christian publishing. Years ago, I was offered a nine-book contract for children’s stories. Nine books! But that opportunity vanished, leaving me heartbroken. Those books never made it to print. Instead, God redirected me toward historical fiction and books for moms. After some tearful prayers (just being honest), I sought God’s greater plan—and discovered it.

As I wrote the word PIVOT in big bubble letters on the whiteboard, I filled in the final letter, the “T.” And there it was—the cross. That’s the key to pivoting. We may shift this way or that way, but we stay anchored to Christ.

What’s Your Pivot Right Now?

Did 2024 unfold exactly as you imagined? Probably not. It hasn’t for me either. This year has been a tapestry of joy and heartache. I’ve formed close friendships with people I didn’t know before, but I also lost my dad, Ron, in July. These experiences have woven their way through my life, changing me in ways I didn’t expect.

And pivoting isn’t always dramatic. Sometimes, it’s as simple as how you start your day. Just this morning, I received a late-night text from my sick teenager. My day began with a glass of water, an Advil, and a prayer. It wasn’t what I had planned, but it was an opportunity—to show my daughter she can count on me and, more importantly, that we can turn to God in every moment.

Pivots Build Character

When life takes an unexpected turn, it’s a chance to grow. Pivots build courage, faith, and resilience. They shape us into people who are hopeful even in hardship. I recently read that courage unlocks opportunity. And isn’t that what pivoting is? Saying yes when we don’t have all the answers. Saying no to things that no longer serve us.

Think back to a pivotal moment in your life. When did you have to make a shift? How did it impact you? What gifts did you receive because life didn’t go as planned?

Remember the T in Pivot

Whenever you face an unexpected turn, remember the T. Remember the cross. Every pivot is an opportunity to lean on Christ and trust Him to lead you to something greater.

Closed doors lead to open ones.
Mountains to climb lead to breathtaking vistas.
And pivots often lead to blessings we couldn’t have imagined.

Today, embrace your pivots—big and small. Look for God in the shift, and trust that He is shaping something beautiful. Because when life takes a turn, it’s not the end of the story—it’s the beginning of a new chapter.

Acts 20:13 – 21:36

Entrusting All Things to God

Paul’s Journey and Farewell (Acts 20:13–38)

Paul’s journey to Jerusalem was marked by urgency and purpose. His stop in Miletus to address the Ephesian elders was filled with emotion and truth.

Paul reminded them of his ministry, emphasizing humility, trials, and the need to finish the task God had given him:

Acts 20:24:
“However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.”

He also warned them of the challenges ahead, urging them to remain vigilant:


Acts 20:28:
“Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers.”

Paul entrusted them to God, knowing that only God and His Word of grace could sustain them. As they prayed and said tearful goodbyes, it was clear that Paul’s ministry left a deep impact on their hearts.

Paul’s Resolve and Arrest (Acts 21:1–36)

Paul pressed on to Jerusalem despite repeated warnings of the suffering awaiting him. Prophecies from fellow believers confirmed the trials he would face, yet Paul’s resolve was unshaken.

Acts 21:13:
“Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

Once in Jerusalem, rumors and lies about Paul’s teachings stirred up hostility. Accusations of defiling the temple by bringing Gentiles inside led to a riot, with a crowd shouting, “Kill him!”

In the chaos, Paul was arrested by Roman soldiers for his own protection, reminiscent of Jesus’ arrest in Jerusalem. Paul’s unwavering commitment to his mission—even in the face of such opposition—is a powerful reminder of his faith and trust in God’s plan.

Word of the Day: Entrust

Definition: To give someone a thing or duty for which they are responsible, putting it in their care for safekeeping.

Entrusting to God

Paul’s words to the Ephesian elders show his deep trust in God’s care for His people:

Acts 20:32:
“And now I entrust you to God and the message of His grace that is able to build you up and give you an inheritance with all those He has set apart for Himself.”

This act of entrusting acknowledges that God is the ultimate protector, provider, and guide. It’s a call to release control and trust Him with the people and situations we hold dear.

What or whom have you entrusted to God?

A child leaving for college or a mission field?
A prodigal loved one?
A family member in the military?

When we entrust someone to God, we recognize His greater power to sustain, guide, and transform them.

Pray this over those you love:
“Heavenly Father, I entrust _______ to You and the message of Your grace. Build them up and guide them to Your inheritance among Your people.”

Generations of Entrusting

Paul’s faithfulness to God’s mission reminds us of the generational impact of entrusting others to God. Tricia shares a beautiful testimony of her husband’s love for God’s Word, passed down from his mother’s faithfulness in reading Scripture to him.

Likewise, the prayers of her grandmother and mother-in-law for her salvation bore fruit in God’s timing.

Whether through prayer, teaching, or simply pointing someone to God, the seeds we plant today may bloom into a legacy of faith for generations.

Acts 21:37 – 23:35

Knowledge Guided by the Holy Spirit

Paul’s Defense Before the Jewish Crowd (Acts 21:37–40, Acts 22)

Paul finds himself in the center of a riot in Jerusalem, accused of defiling the temple by bringing Gentiles into it. Before being taken into custody, Paul requests permission from the Roman commander to address the angry crowd. Speaking in Aramaic, Paul recounts his Jewish upbringing, his zealous persecution of Christians, and his transformative encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus.

The crowd listens intently—until Paul mentions his mission to the Gentiles. At this, their fury reignites, demanding his execution. The Roman commander, confused by the uproar, orders Paul into the barracks and prepares to flog him for answers. However, Paul reveals his Roman citizenship, halting the interrogation. The next day, Paul is brought before the Jewish high council to clarify the accusations against him.

Paul Before the High Council (Acts 23)

Standing before the Sanhedrin, Paul tactfully divides the council by declaring his belief in the resurrection—a point of contention between the Pharisees and Sadducees. This sparks a heated debate, turning their focus away from Paul and onto each other. The uproar leads to another riot, and Paul spends another night in jail. That night, God encourages Paul with a clear promise:

Acts 23:11:
"Be encouraged, Paul. Just as you have been a witness to me here in Jerusalem, you must preach the Good News in Rome as well."

Meanwhile, a plot arises among some Jews to kill Paul. His nephew overhears the plan and alerts the Roman commander, who arranges for Paul to be transferred to Governor Felix in Caesarea under heavy guard. Escorted by 470 Roman soldiers, Paul is safely taken out of Jerusalem, demonstrating God’s faithfulness in protecting His servant.

Word of the Day: Knowledge

Definition: Facts, information, and skills acquired through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject.

Paul’s Knowledge and God’s Guidance

Paul’s reliance on the Holy Spirit enhanced his natural knowledge:

Knowledge of the law: Paul used his Roman citizenship to avoid illegal flogging.
Defense strategies: He eloquently addressed both the commander and the high council, skillfully navigating tense situations.
Spiritual insight: In the jail cell, Paul drew strength from God’s presence and promise.

Others also demonstrated knowledge under God’s guidance:

Paul’s nephew: Alerting the Roman commander of the assassination plot.
The Roman commander: Protecting Paul with extraordinary measures, ensuring his safe journey to Caesarea.

True knowledge, as Paul demonstrated, goes beyond facts and figures. It is the ability to apply understanding and discernment for God’s glory, defending the faith and advancing His kingdom.

Lessons from Paul’s Knowledge

Seek deeper knowledge: Go beyond surface-level understanding to develop a robust foundation in God’s Word and truth.
Rely on the Holy Spirit: Let the Spirit guide your thoughts, actions, and words, especially in challenging situations.
Use knowledge for God’s purposes: Shine as a light in a dark world, using what you’ve learned to uplift others and point them to Christ.

Paul’s story is a reminder that knowledge, when entrusted to God, becomes a powerful tool for transformation, protection, and fulfilling His plans.

Acts 24:1 – 26:32

Standing Firm in the Face of Accusations

Paul’s Defense Before Felix and Festus (Acts 24; Acts 25:1–22)

Paul faces accusations brought by Jewish leaders, spearheaded by the skilled lawyer Tertullus. The charges are serious: Paul is accused of being a troublemaker and a leader of the Nazarene sect. Yet, Paul defends himself with eloquence and truth.

He declares his purpose in Jerusalem was to worship God and bring alms, not to incite rebellion. Paul admits his affiliation with “The Way” but asserts his belief in the resurrection of the dead. Felix, intrigued but unwilling to act, postpones a verdict. Two years pass before Felix is succeeded by Festus, and the Jewish leaders again seek to have Paul tried in Jerusalem.

Festus, wary of their schemes, insists on a trial in Caesarea. When King Agrippa and Bernice visit Festus, they express interest in hearing Paul’s testimony. This sets the stage for one of Paul’s most powerful defenses of the gospel.

Paul’s Testimony Before King Agrippa (Acts 25:23–26:32)

Paul recounts his life, from persecutor of Christians to preacher of the gospel. He shares his Damascus Road encounter with Jesus and his mission to proclaim repentance and forgiveness.

Festus interrupts, calling Paul insane due to his intense study and testimony. Undeterred, Paul turns to King Agrippa, challenging him to believe the prophets. Agrippa, caught off guard, evades the question, saying he is not ready to be persuaded.

Charles Spurgeon insightfully notes:

Festus feared the truth, dismissing Paul as “crazy.”
Agrippa resisted conviction, unwilling to sacrifice his sinful relationships and reputation.
Paul, despite being in chains, stood boldly as an ambassador of Christ.

The trial concludes with Agrippa and Festus agreeing on Paul’s innocence. However, because Paul had appealed to Caesar, he must continue his journey to Rome.

Word of the Day: Accusations

Definition: A charge or claim that someone has done something illegal or wrong.

Paul’s Example in the Face of Accusations

Paul’s unwavering integrity shines as he faces false accusations. His patience during years of legal limbo and his boldness in proclaiming the gospel serve as a testament to his faith.

When accusations come your way:

Stand firm in your integrity: Like Paul, remain steadfast in your character.
Trust the process: Justice may take time, but God works all things for good.
Use the opportunity: Shine a light on God’s truth and grace, even amidst trials.

Truth Will Prevail

Accusations cannot extinguish truth. In time, God’s truth will shine through, dispelling the shadows of falsehood. When facing challenges, lean on these Scriptures:

Psalm 25:5: “Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.”
Proverbs 12:19: “Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.”
Isaiah 61:3: “They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.”

Trust in God’s ultimate justice and His ability to turn ashes into beauty.

Lessons from Paul’s Trials

Paul’s journey teaches us how to navigate adversity with faith:

Embrace boldness: Share your testimony even when it’s unpopular or met with opposition.
Rely on God’s timing: He is working behind the scenes to fulfill His promises.
Remain humble: True strength is found in depending on God’s grace.

Paul’s story inspires us to live as ambassadors of Christ, trusting in His truth and grace no matter the circumstances.

Acts 27:1 – 44

Lessons in the Storm

The Voyage to Rome (Acts 27:1–26)

Paul embarks on his journey to Rome as a prisoner, accompanied by Luke and others. Sailing in the fall—a risky time due to seasonal storms—the crew encounters rough seas, making slow progress. Paul, guided by God, warns of the dangers ahead, but his advice is ignored.

As they continue, a fierce storm, like a typhoon, batters the ship for days. The crew jettisons cargo in a desperate attempt to stay afloat. Amid the chaos, Paul encourages the crew, revealing a message from an angel: though the ship will be lost, all lives will be spared. Paul’s unshakable faith inspires hope among those aboard.

Paul’s confidence wasn’t grounded in the circumstances or human strength but in God’s promise. As EnduringWord.com notes, Paul’s faith echoes Job’s words:

“Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” (Job 13:15)

In the storm, God’s presence was more real to Paul than the peril around him.

Shipwrecked on Malta (Acts 27:27–44)

After two harrowing weeks, the crew senses land nearby. They drop anchors, praying for daylight. Paul encourages everyone to eat, breaking bread and sharing a meal, offering hope amidst the storm.

At dawn, they attempt to beach the ship but run aground. The waves break the ship apart, and the soldiers plan to kill the prisoners to prevent escape. Yet the centurion, favoring Paul, intervenes. True to God’s promise, all 276 aboard make it safely to shore.

This story demonstrates God’s faithfulness and His ability to protect His people, even in the direst circumstances. As EnduringWord.com points out, “God’s word never fails.” The storm was fierce, but God’s hand guided Paul and all aboard to safety.

Word of the Day: Storm

Definition: A violent disturbance of the atmosphere with strong winds and usually rain, thunder, lightning, or snow.

Faith Amid the Storm

Storms in life are inevitable, but Paul’s journey teaches us how to navigate them with faith:

Storms Are Inevitable: Trials and hardships will come, but God is always with us.
Trust God’s Promises: In the chaos, hold tightly to His words; His promises never fail.
Keep Faith: Even when circumstances seem dire, proclaim, “I believe God.”
Be a Beacon of Hope: Like Paul, encourage and uplift others in their storms.
God’s Deliverance is Certain: No matter how fierce the storm, God will see us through.

A Song for the Storm

Scott Krippayne’s song reminds us:
“Sometimes He calms the storm, with a whispered peace be still…
And other times He calms His child.”

Paul knew both sides of this truth. Though the storm raged on, God’s presence calmed Paul’s heart, enabling him to be a source of hope for others.

Trusting God in Every Storm

Paul’s declaration, “I believe God,” wasn’t just a statement; it was a lifestyle. Even in fear, he sought God’s assurance. His faith became a light for everyone around him—believers and non-believers alike.

When storms hit your life, remember these lessons:

Seek God in Prayer: Trust His guidance and promises.
Encourage Others: Be a source of hope and peace in their storms.
Proclaim Faith: Say with confidence, “I believe God,” and trust in His plan.

Storms refine us, revealing God’s power and drawing us closer to Him. No matter how fierce the winds, remember, God’s deliverance is certain.

Acts 28:1 – 31, Ephesians 1:1 – 2:22

Persuaded by Grace

Shipwreck and Sovereignty (Acts 28:1-10)

Paul and the shipwreck survivors find themselves on the island of Malta. Demonstrating his servant’s heart, Paul gathers wood for a fire but is bitten by a viper. The locals expect him to die, but when he suffers no harm, they shift from seeing him as cursed to considering him a god.

God’s protection over Paul is evident, fulfilling His promise that Paul would reach Rome. Paul’s survival and the miraculous healing of the chief official’s father lead many on the island to seek healing, showing that even in adversity, God works through His faithful servants to bring His glory.

Arrival in Rome and Ministry Under House Arrest (Acts 28:11-31)

After months of hardship, Paul finally arrives in Rome. Though under house arrest, he continues preaching and teaching about Jesus to all who come to him.

Paul’s faithfulness is highlighted in Acts 28:23-24 (NLT):
"So a time was set, and on that day a large number of people came to Paul’s lodging. He explained and testified about the Kingdom of God and tried to persuade them about Jesus from the Scriptures. Using the law of Moses and the books of the prophets, he spoke to them from morning until evening. Some were persuaded by the things he said, but others did not believe."

Despite his circumstances, Paul uses every opportunity to share the Gospel. His life and words work together to persuade others of the truth of Jesus Christ.

Blessings in Christ (Ephesians 1)

Paul writes to the Ephesian believers from his Roman imprisonment, sharing the profound blessings found in Christ. He emphasizes:

Chosen by God: “Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world…” (Ephesians 1:4, ESV).
Adopted as His Children: “He predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ…” (Ephesians 1:5, ESV).
Lavished with Grace: “In him, we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace…” (Ephesians 1:7, ESV).

Paul prays for the Ephesians to grow in their knowledge of God, emphasizing spiritual enlightenment over physical needs. His prayer reminds us of the incredible inheritance we have as believers, uniting us with Christ and empowering us to live for Him.

Made Alive in Christ (Ephesians 2)

Ephesians 2 underscores the transformative power of God’s grace. Paul writes, “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9, ESV).

We are God’s masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus for good works prepared for us.

Spurgeon beautifully reflects on God’s grace, noting, “He has as much grace as you want, and he has a great deal more than that.”

Through Christ, we are no longer dead in sin but alive with a purpose—to glorify God and share His grace with others.

Word of the Day: Persuaded

Definition: To cause someone to do something through reasoning or argument.

Living a Life of Persuasion

Paul’s life and ministry exemplify the power of persuasion rooted in truth and grace:

Persuading with Words: Paul tirelessly proclaimed the Gospel, using Scripture to explain the Kingdom of God.
Persuading with Life: Paul’s faith and perseverance testified to God’s transformative power, persuading others through his example.
Persuaded by God’s Grace: Our faith is not self-generated but a response to God’s work in our hearts.

In Acts 28, Paul persuades others to believe. In Ephesians, he reminds us that our persuasion begins with God choosing us. Let us live “out loud,” allowing our words and actions to testify to the love and grace of Jesus.

Convinced of God’s Love

Romans 8:38-39 declares,
"And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord."

This unshakable conviction inspires us to live persuaded by God’s truth, grace, and love.

December 7
Ephesians 3, Ephesians 4, Ephesians 5:1-14

The Depth of God’s Love and Humility

God’s Eternal Plan Revealed (Ephesians 3)

Ephesians 3 reminds us of God’s ultimate rescue plan—crafted since the beginning of time. This plan of salvation included both Jews and Gentiles and showcases a God who has never panicked or doubted His purpose.

Paul beautifully articulates the blessings of this plan, emphasizing the confidence and boldness believers have to approach God because of Christ’s sacrifice. This chapter also contains a profound prayer for the Ephesians:

"I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand...how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is." (Ephesians 3:16-18, NLT)

God’s love is boundless, and He empowers us with inner strength, anchoring us in His love and enabling us to live lives that glorify Him.

Unity and Transformation in Christ (Ephesians 4)

Paul urges believers to live lives worthy of their calling. This includes humility, gentleness, patience, and love, characteristics that foster unity within the body of Christ.

Unity: Paul highlights the importance of maintaining the Spirit’s unity through peace. Though believers have diverse spiritual gifts, these are meant to build the Church, creating maturity and stability.

Transformation: Paul calls believers to shed their old selves, marked by sin, and embrace the new self created in God’s image. This transformation manifests in truthfulness, kindness, forgiveness, and Christ-like character.

Imitating Christ (Ephesians 5:1-14)

Ephesians 5 continues the theme of holy living, urging believers to imitate God in all they do:

"Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God." (Ephesians 5:1-2, NLT)

This sacrificial love of Christ calls us to live lives marked by goodness, righteousness, and truth, shining as children of light and dispelling the darkness of sin.

Word of the Day: Humility

Definition: A modest or low view of one’s own importance; humbleness.

The Balance of Humility

Humility is both recognizing our sinfulness and understanding our immense worth in God’s eyes.

Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3 reminds us of God’s glorious resources, empowering us to live in His love. True humility acknowledges Christ’s sacrifice on the cross and compels us to walk in love and obedience.

As Philippians 2:8-11 states:
"And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross! Therefore, God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name..."

Christ’s humility is the ultimate example. He invites us into a relationship with God, offering boldness and confidence to live as His chosen people.

Living in Love and Humility

Ephesians 3-5 challenges us to:

Recognize the boundless depth of God’s love.
Live lives worthy of our calling with humility and love.
Embrace transformation, putting on the new self in Christ.
Shine as children of light, dispelling darkness through goodness and righteousness.

God’s rescue plan and Christ’s sacrificial love compel us to live boldly and confidently, fully rooted in His love. Let’s honor Him today by embracing humility and living out His love in every aspect of our lives.

December 8
Ephesians 5:15 – 6:23, Colossians 1:1 – 23

Equipped for the Mission

Living Wisely in Christ (Ephesians 5:15-33)

Paul continues his encouragement to the Ephesians by explaining how the Gospel should impact their daily lives, especially their relationships. He begins by urging believers to live wisely and be filled with the Spirit, which overflows into giving thanks and submitting to one another.

Husbands and Wives:
Ephesians 5 highlights how Spirit-filled living transforms marriage. Submission isn’t about inferiority but about mutual respect and aligning with God’s mission for marriage.

Paul writes, “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ” (Ephesians 5:21).

For wives, this means trusting their husbands to lead with Christ-like care. For husbands, the responsibility is even greater: to love their wives as Christ loves the Church, sacrificially and selflessly. Marriage reflects the divine relationship between Christ and His Church, showing love, unity, and humility.

The Armor of God (Ephesians 6)

After building up the Ephesians, Paul reminds them of the spiritual battle they face. The Christian life is not without conflict, but God provides everything we need to stand firm.

Paul introduces the armor of God:

Belt of Truth: Grounded in the truth of God’s Word, we’re ready for battle.
Body Armor of Righteousness: Protecting our hearts, we stand in Christ’s righteousness.
Shoes of Peace: These give us readiness and stability to share the Gospel of peace.
Shield of Faith: Defends against the fiery arrows of doubt and temptation.
Helmet of Salvation: Guards our minds with the assurance of salvation.
Sword of the Spirit: The Word of God is our offensive weapon, powerful and precise.

Paul emphasizes prayer as the glue that holds this armor together. Through prayer, we remain vigilant, prepared, and connected to God, who equips us for battle.

The Supremacy of Christ (Colossians 1:1-23)

Colossians begins with Paul’s prayer of thanksgiving for the believers and his reminder of who Christ is:

Christ is the image of the invisible God and the Creator of all things.
He is before all things and holds all things together.
Christ is the head of the Church and the first to rise from the dead, reconciling us to God through His blood.

This passage reminds us of Christ’s supremacy and His power to transform lives. Paul urges the Colossians to stay grounded in the truth of the Gospel, avoiding false teachings.

Word of the Day: Armor

Definition: Protective covering worn in battle, representing the spiritual defense God gives believers.

Equipped for Battle

As believers, we are in a spiritual battle against forces of darkness. Paul’s message in Ephesians 6 is clear: we cannot fight this battle alone. God equips us with His armor so we can stand firm and live victoriously.

How do we put on the armor of God?

Stay rooted in truth: Read, know, and live God’s Word.
Rely on God’s righteousness, not our own.
Walk in peace, sharing the Gospel boldly.
Strengthen your faith through trust in God’s promises.
Guard your mind with the assurance of salvation.
Use Scripture as your weapon against lies and temptation.
Pray constantly, staying connected to God’s power and guidance.

In the mission God has for our lives, we are not individuals fighting alone. We are a unified body, submitting to God’s authority and working together for His Kingdom.
