The Crosswalk Devotional: A Daily Devotional Christian Podcast

Explore how faith is trusting God even when we can’t see the full picture. Faith is not something we muster ourselves—it is a gift from God, cultivated through His Word and the work of the Holy Spirit. Often, God asks us to trust Him through waiting, “no” answers, and uncertainty. These seasons shape our character and deepen our reliance on Him, proving that faith is more about who we become than what we receive.
Highlights
Faith is a Gift: True faith comes from God, not from our own efforts (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 10:17).

Faith Requires Trust in God’s Plan: Even when God says “no” or asks us to wait, His timing and wisdom are perfect.

Faith During Waiting Produces Growth: Waiting and unanswered prayers often mature our character in ways a “yes” could not.

Step-by-Step Faith: God often gives small measures of faith to steward, allowing us to take the next step even when the full path isn’t visible.

Aligning Our Will with God’s Will: Faith invites God’s will to become our own, trusting His “no” can be a greater blessing than a “yes.”

When Faith Means Trusting What We Can’t See
By Hannah Benson
Bible Reading:
“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1 ESV)
This well-known verse comes right before what is often called the “Hall of Faith” in the Bible. In Hebrews 11, the writer recalls the faith of many people from the Old Testament, including Noah, Abraham & Sarah, Jacob, Joseph, and Moses, and the list goes on.
Faith is a common theme throughout Scripture, and we know, as believers, that we are called to have faith. We are called to put our faith in Jesus Christ for salvation and for the cleansing of our sin (Romans 3:23-25, Acts 15:9). While that is the foundation of our faith, it also extends to other areas of our lives. Because Jesus knew we would be prone to worry, He told us to have faith that God will provide what we need for tomorrow (Matthew 6:25-34). We must have faith for healing (James 5:14-15) and for strength and endurance (2 Corinthians 12:9).
But what exactly does it mean to have faith?
God is not a genie, so it’s not as if we can somehow “procure” enough faith and make something happen. After all, like Romans 11:35 ESV says: “‘For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?’ ‘Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?’ For from him and through him and to him are all things…”
And “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). In short, faith is a gift. Faith is not a feeling we can muster. Imagine if it were up to us how much faith we were given. We would become arrogant because we would start to think that if God answered our prayer the way we wanted, we were perhaps more righteous or had more faith than the other person who didn’t receive a “yes” from God.
If it were up to us to have enough faith, then that would make us somehow God. And we are clearly not.
Faith is a gift that comes from hearing the word of Christ (Romans 10:17). By God’s grace, the Holy Spirit is the One Who opens our eyes as we read God’s Word (John 14:26).
In Mark 9:23, Jesus tells a father whose son is possessed by a demon that “all things are possible for one who believes,” to which the father replies in verse 24, “I believe; help my unbelief!”
We need Jesus’s help to have faith: faith that we have been saved by the work of His blood on the cross, for His provision, and for healing.
Sometimes, we need to have faith to pursue something others deem crazy. Maybe God calls us to accept a job with less pay or to move halfway across the country. Yes, we absolutely need to make wise decisions, but if God calls us to do something—no matter how crazy it sounds—do it. However, we must be in continual prayer as we discern what is truly from God, because a word from the Lord will never contradict His Word given to us in the Bible.
What do we do when God doesn’t always answer our prayers the way we expect?
Even the people in Scripture were forced to wait or accept a “no” from God.
Abraham and Sarah waited for years to have a child.
David became king years after Samuel had anointed him.
Moses never got to enter the Promised Land.
Paul begged God to remove the thorn from his life, but God didn’t. Instead, He said, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9 ESV).
Even though David prayed, wept, and fasted, his and Bathsheba’s first son died.
How do we make sense of that?
Sometimes, we might think that if we receive a “no” from God, then we didn’t have enough faith. But Scripture shows us that there could be lots of reasons for “no”. We aren’t God and can’t see the full picture, so maybe He’s protecting us from something. Maybe He has something better in mind.
I’ve also heard it said that God is far more interested in who we are becoming than the earthly destination we are heading towards. Faith during a waiting season sometimes produces a maturity that a “Yes” never could. I would even go so far as to say what matters isn’t about getting what we want from God but about getting more of God.
Nothing draws me into the presence of Jesus more like a “no” or a “wait”.
What if we aren’t simply called to have faith for something but to have faith when God says “no”? To have faith that His ways are higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8) and that perhaps His “no” is a blessing in disguise and the preparation for a different “yes” we can’t see yet?
“And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him” (1 John 5:14-15 ESV).
Note that it says “if we ask anything according to his will.”
This is not about forcing our will to become God’s will. No, instead, it is an invitation for God’s will to become our own.
Intersecting Faith & Life:
A couple of years ago, there was something I wanted but didn’t have the faith to pray for what I thought could be the end result. Rather, God gave me faith to pray for the next step, which may or may not eventually lead to the end result. Which I did. And you know what? God opened the door for the next step.
Two years later, my prayers are bolder as God has given me the faith to pray for things I never would’ve prayed for back then.
Sometimes, God doesn’t give us faith for everything all at once. He gives us tiny portions of faith, but like any gift, faith is a gift that must be stewarded. After all, as Paul writes in 2 Timothy 1:14 (ESV), “By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you.”
That includes the faith that has been given to us.
Faith might mean taking one step at a time, even when we can’t see the path ahead.
Faith might mean trusting God’s “no” is sometimes greater than His “yes.”
Pray with me:
Dear Father God, thank You for the gift of faith. I confess that I often try to muster it up in my own strength or treat You like a genie who exists to grant my wishes. Forgive me for the times I’ve valued the “yes” more than the Giver. I thank You for the Holy Spirit, who opens my eyes to Your Word. Help me to steward the measure of faith You have given me today. When I face a "no" or a "wait," draw me closer into Your presence. Align my heart with Yours, so that Your will becomes my own.
Give me the courage to take the next step You have set before me, even when I cannot see the rest of the path. I trust that Your ways are higher than mine and that You are making me into who You want me to be.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Reflect on the patience required during seasons of waiting, using the arrival of spring and the farmer’s work as a metaphor for spiritual growth. Just as seeds must be planted, watered, and tended before fruit appears, God works in our hearts even when we cannot see immediate results. Waiting is not inactivity—it is a season of preparation, trust, and faithful obedience.
Highlights
Patience is Active: Waiting doesn’t mean doing nothing; it involves prayer, obedience, and tending what we can.

Spiritual Growth Takes Time: Just as crops need time to bloom, God often does deep root work in us before visible fruit appears.

Trust God’s Timing: We cannot force growth; the “precious fruit” belongs to God.

Strengthen Your Heart: Establishing your heart means building inner strength while waiting (James 5:8).

Hope in Waiting: The absence of visible fruit doesn’t mean nothing is happening—God is at work behind the scenes.

Before the Bloom Appears
By Sarah Frazer
Bible Reading:
“See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth and is patient with it… You also must be patient. Establish your hearts…” - James 5:7-8 (ESV)
I can’t wait for spring. In our area of the country, it doesn’t usually come until March or April. We’ve even had the occasional snow in April, but this year I’m holding out hope for warm weather to come sooner than later. If my life is filled with busyness, I might miss the coming of Spring. Many years ago, when my children were young, and life felt like an endless winter because of depression, I would not notice spring until it had already come.
As I've grown older, I’ve begun to notice the quiet coming of spring, and having a garden and flowers helps remind me of it. Gardens, flowers, and even my favorite tree in the front yard do not grow overnight. Often we miss this, but what a lesson we can learn here: in order for spring to come, the soil needs to be turned, seeds need to be buried, and waiting is the theme of spring's arrival.
Maybe your life feels like an endless winter, or the time before the blooms. Although life has seasons of growth, we do not need to get discouraged during times of planting and waiting. James uses this exact picture to teach us how to wait.
“See how the farmer… - James 5:7 (ESV)
A farmer never rushes the harvest. After tilling the soil and preparing the land, the farmer then plants his seeds. He then buries them deep in the ground. The next day, he does not go out and look for a harvest. The farmer understands the timing and knows he cannot force growth.
Some things in our lives we cannot speed up. Growth, especially spiritual growth, requires waiting. It forces us to trust a process we might not understand. Circumstances in our lives are mostly out of our control. Yet God uses everything in our lives to grow us.
While the farmer waits, he remains patient, awaiting the supply of rain. Waiting is not a waste. The farmer is not idle. He tends to the fields, providing water when he can, and works on his machines that will be needed to harvest. Waiting doesn’t mean inactivity. Patience is not passivity. We keep praying, obeying, and trusting. The farmer is faithful to do what he can and wait with patience, and we too can be faithful. As we do this, we lean into God and realize that the “precious fruit” belongs to God and He will make it grow!
“You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.” - James 5:8 (ESV)
The word for “establish” means to strengthen. As we wait, we shift inward. Waiting is less about circumstances and more about the condition of the heart. Yes, as we wait, we might feel weaker, and doubts will enter our minds. Waiting tempts us to grow discouraged. Strength comes when we remember God controls the harvest.
Springtime can be for us a picture of spiritual waiting. It reminds us that planting comes before the fruit. Just because nothing is visible doesn’t mean nothing is happening. Roots are the strongest part of the entire plant. God is often doing deep root work in us before our fruit is visible. Spring is for planting and tending—not harvesting. God calls us to be patient with hope in seasons when fruit has not yet appeared.
The absence of fruit does not mean growth isn’t happening. Just like the farmer trusts the seasons, we can too. Before the bloom, hope is working in your life. Choose hope. Choose to believe God is working in your life even today.
Intersecting Faith & Life:
Where are you waiting for fruit? What feels planted but not yet blooming? How can you release the timeline, stay faithful, and trust the Lord in this season?

Scripture calls us to fix our eyes on Jesus—not people—because He alone is perfect and unchanging. This devotional reminds us that when our faith is rooted in Christ, it remains steady even when others fall short.
Highlights
Focus Matters: Faith falters when placed in people instead of Jesus (Hebrews 12:2).

Human Leaders Fall: Even trusted spiritual leaders are imperfect and can fail.

Follow Christ Alone: We are called to follow Jesus, not build our faith around individuals (Matthew 4:19).

Guard Your Heart: Hiding God’s Word in our hearts protects us from stumbling (Psalm 119:11).

Discernment is Key: Jesus calls us to recognize truth by the fruit people produce (Matthew 7:16-20).

Unshakable Foundation: A faith rooted in God remains steady despite circumstances (Hebrews 12:28).

Intersecting Faith & Life
When leaders fall, it can feel disorienting and discouraging. But these moments are an opportunity to realign our focus. Jesus is the only perfect example, the only Savior who endured the cross, and the only one worthy of our complete trust.

Keep Keeping Your Eyes on Jesus
By Lynette Kittle
Bible Reading:
“Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him He endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” - Hebrews 12:2
Recent and ongoing scandals involving pastors, churches, and ministries—leaders who fail and fall short in their service and devotion to God—have been devastating for many believers in Jesus Christ.
This is especially true for those who closely followed these leaders, hanging on their every word, listening, trusting, and at times valuing what they said as more important than the Word of God itself.
The exposure of immorality, misconduct, dishonesty, and deception takes a terrible toll on those who once placed unwavering faith in these men and women who positioned themselves as spokespersons for God.
When these leaders’ sinful activities are uncovered, it rattles some followers to their spiritual cores. Faith begins to stumble when it has been placed more in people than in God. In many cases, it reveals that instead of focusing on the Lord, their eyes, ears, and attention were centered on the leaders they admired.
Yet none of those leaders suffered and endured the cross or experienced separation from God on our behalf. When tempted, they were not willing to lay down their human desires and sinful impulses, much less their lives, for us.
Called to Be Fishermen, Not Establish Our Own Kingdoms
God never intended for us to be followers of men. We are called to be fishers of people, but followers of Christ alone. As Matthew 4:19 records: “‘Come, follow Me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will send you out to fish for people.’”
He calls us to follow Him and to hide His Word in our hearts. When we do, it protects our hearts and minds from stumbling. It guards us against falling into unbelief because of another person’s sin.
Psalm 119:11 reminds us of this safeguard: “I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You.”
The Apostle Paul further explains in 2 Corinthians 3:3 how God writes His Word on our hearts when we yield to Him: “You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.”
When we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, we do not collapse like a line of dominoes when trusted spiritual leaders fail. Our hearts may grieve over their sin, but our faith remains steady.
Hebrews 12:28 reminds us that when our focus is on God, we stand on an unshakable foundation: “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.”
Jesus warned us to remain watchful. In Matthew 7:15, He cautions: “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.”
He also assures us that we can discern the difference between genuine followers and deceivers. As He explains in Matthew 7:16-20: “By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.”
Intersecting Faith & Life:
Have you been devastated by a spiritual leader’s sin? Has your faith been shaken by their failings? If so, ask God to help redirect your focus on Him and fix your eyes on Jesus.

The Beauty of Spring
By Vivian Bricker
Bible Reading:
“When a king’s face brightens, it means life; his favor is like a rain cloud in spring” (Proverbs 16:15).
Spring is a time of new beginnings. When I was younger, it reminded me that the endless days of darkness were behind me. As someone who struggles with depression, spring brings a renewed sense of hope. It helps me feel more positive about life and breaks the cycle of staying inside, hiding from the world, and feeling empty.
When spring arrives, we are greeted by blooming flowers and the warm sun on our faces. Many springs have filled my heart with joy and given me a fresh start emotionally. There is something about winter’s darkness that brings dread, yet spring ushers in hope and joy. You may have experienced this too; spring has a way of leading our hearts toward warmth, tranquility, and happiness.
A few years ago, I began searching for subtle signs of spring even during the winter months. On walks, I would look for the tiniest flower bud or a green vine stretching quietly in the shadows. Without fail, God would reveal a small sign of what was coming. Even the smallest glimpse gave me hope for happier, warmer, longer days ahead. The frigid season was passing, and spring was on its way.
Spring feels especially beautiful after winter because it restores our view of the world’s beauty. During winter, nature lies dormant; in spring, it awakens and flourishes once again.
Spring is not a season to overlook, even if it stirs up our allergies. Instead, we can rejoice in it and give God glory for the fresh start we have in Him. Just as the earth returns to life, we can experience renewal too, especially if winter has been a difficult season for us.
If winter was hard, we need to be honest with ourselves without condemning our struggles. Some seasons are heavier than others. Yet we can hold onto the promise that spring will come. Some years it may feel delayed, but it will arrive. And when it does, we can rejoice and praise the Lord with hopeful hearts.
Intersecting Faith & Life:
The Bible tells us, “When a king’s face brightens, it means life; his favor is like a rain cloud in spring” (Proverbs 16:15). In biblical times, retaining a king’s favor was vital. His disfavor could result in death, but his approval meant protection and preservation.
Likewise, a rain cloud in spring is a blessing. It nourishes the plants and flowers, sustaining their growth. In the same way, a king’s joy brought life to his people. The proverb reminds us that favor and blessing produce renewal, just as spring rain revives the earth.
Take special notice of spring this year and allow it to warm your soul. Winter has passed, along with its bitter cold and long, dark days. The sorrow and mental heaviness that sometimes accompany those months can begin to lift as well. Spring carries the promise of new life, renewed joy, and restored hope. Praise the Lord for the beauty and life He brings through this season.
What is your favorite thing about the season of spring? What are a few ways you can give God praise for the beauty of spring?

No matter how messy or complicated our story may feel, God is the one who begins, sustains, and completes the work within us. Even in seasons of wandering, failure, or doubt, His grace remains active—reshaping our hearts and drawing us closer to Him. This devotional highlights the powerful truth that we are continually being transformed, and God is faithful to finish what He started.
Highlights
God Initiates Growth: Our transformation begins with God, not our own efforts (Philippians 1:6).

Jesus Rescues: We cannot save ourselves—Christ is the one who pulls us out of sin and restores us.

Messy Testimonies Matter: Faith journeys aren’t always clean or simple, but God is still writing the story (Hebrews 12:2).

God’s Faithfulness: Even when we fall short, He remains constant and committed (2 Timothy 2:13).

Sanctification is Ongoing: Spiritual growth happens over time through Scripture, prayer, and obedience.

Renewed Mindset: The Holy Spirit transforms our thinking, helping us focus on eternal priorities.

Progress Over Perfection: God is continually shaping us into Christ’s image, step by step.

Intersecting Faith & Life
It’s easy to become discouraged when your spiritual growth doesn’t look the way you expected. But God never asked for instant perfection—He invites you into a process. Every step of obedience, every moment in Scripture, and every prayer contributes to the work He is doing in your life.

You Are God’s Work in Progress
By: Emily Rose Massey
Bible Reading:
“…being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6, NIV).
A new friend recently asked me, “Emily… how long have you known the Lord?”

I wanted to be as concise as possible but also transparent. I explained that I have been coming to grips recently that I was most likely a false convert when I was a teen into my early 20s and didn’t truly start following Christ until the summer after I graduated college. It’s the only way I can seem to make sense of the mess I lived in for six years after my profession of faith, after responding to an altar call at a youth conference.

As I walked the aisle at that church, I responded to the news that Jesus died for my sins to be forgiven then eventually ran right back into the same ditch like a dumb sheep thinking I could rely on my own works and not Christ’s finished work of the cross, and God allowed me to fail, fall, and create a home in my pit of self-righteousness and sin for six years. But thanks be to God, that wasn’t the end of my story- the Lord didn’t leave me in that pit because one day, I was rescued.
We must first remember that we cannot rescue ourselves out of a pit of sin- Jesus is the Great Shepherd who rescues His sheep. It is God who begins the work in our hearts, turning them from a heart of stone to a heart of flesh, and the longer we walk with Him, the more He will continue to mold our hearts.
I don’t believe all our testimonies of coming to faith in Christ can be packaged up into a nice little box with a bow. It’s because we aren’t the author of the story- our Sovereign Lord is the author and finisher, or perfecter, of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).

Scripture tells us that He is faithful to complete that work that He began in us:
“…being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6, NIV).
Intersecting Faith & Life:You may also have a messy and complicated testimony and cannot fully explain all of what you think the Lord was doing in your heart and when, but I can tell you that even when you have been faithless, God has been incredibly faithful (2 Timothy 2:13). Even when I’m extremely dumb, hard-headed, and rebellious, He is wise, patient, and perfect on my behalf. He doesn’t give up on His children! And just as God is sovereign in salvation, He is also sovereign in our sanctification as we learn to partner with Him in our growth in Christ. He is the one who is in charge of seeing us mature on our walk with Him.
The same grace that saved us is the very same grace that keeps us and molds us into the image of Christ, each new day. We will never be perfect this side of heaven, which is why we rest in the finished work of the cross of Christ, but we should be walking in holiness little by little each passing day. One way this occurs in our lives is through studying the scriptures and other spiritual disciplines such as prayer, serving others, and consistent discipleship and evangelism. The Spirit of God guides us into all truth and convicts our hearts of sin.
The more we study the Bible and exercise spiritual discipline, the more the Holy Spirit renews our minds. This renewal of the mind helps us to think on eternal matters, and soon, worldly thinking and fleshly desires become less of a temptation for us the longer we walk with the Lord. Our behavior and attitude begin to change, and God gives us a desire to love, obey, and serve Him with fervor! From the moment of your conversion, you became God’s work-in-progress, and the greatest news of all is that He doesn’t grow weary, stressed, or exhausted with you. He will complete the work He began in you!
