He left the ninety-nine out in the country and went after the one that had wandered away, and he kept searching until he found it. When he did, he didn't scold it all the way home. Instead he lifted it onto his shoulders and carried it back rejoicing, then called his friends together to celebrate. God pursues people the same way, especially if they are lost. He is not indifferent because...]]></description><link>https://www.the-daily-inspiration.com/post/looking-for-you</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a995f4cc68753896ea5fb55</guid><pubDate>Thu, 03 Sep 2026 11:52:11 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Art Malloy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wait On The Lord]]></title><description><![CDATA[Isaiah wrote to a people who were exhausted and worn down by fear and an uncertain future. To them, it looked nothing like they had hoped for. Into that situation, God asked a few simple questions: hast thou not known, hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not faint or grow weary? The people were tired. God wasn't. He promised them that the same strength that never runs dry was available to them, and to anyone willing to wait on Him — not...]]></description><link>https://www.the-daily-inspiration.com/post/wait-on-the-lord</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a995eecdcc021399d4de2e5</guid><pubDate>Wed, 02 Sep 2026 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Art Malloy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[God Can Use You Too]]></title><description><![CDATA[Before he was Paul, he was Saul, and he hunted down followers of Jesus, approved of Stephen's murder, and dragged believers from their homes to prison. If you had asked anyone in the early church who God would never use, they likely would have pointed straight toward him. But on a road to Damascus, a blinding light stopped Saul in his tracks, and the voice of the very Jesus he was persecuting called his name. That encounter didn't erase his past — it redirected it. The man who once tried to...]]></description><link>https://www.the-daily-inspiration.com/post/god-can-use-you-too</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a995e8e20b9c897c3044644</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Sep 2026 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Art Malloy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Out Of The Darkness]]></title><description><![CDATA[Every person will experience dark times. The dark times are difficult, sometimes so difficult that you want no one else to know what you are struggling with. Not being able to pay your bills, struggling with addiction, losing faith in God, experiencing violence in relationships, and experiencing extreme loneliness — all of these represent dark times. Consider that in the first chapter of Genesis, God's first vocal commandment was "let there be light." He spoke to darkness and changed it. When...]]></description><link>https://www.the-daily-inspiration.com/post/out-of-the-darkness</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a995e28fb8636052b7f7885</guid><pubDate>Mon, 31 Aug 2026 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Art Malloy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your Reason To Smile]]></title><description><![CDATA[We live in a world that seemingly floats in space. Each day we look at people with different color skin, different textures of hair, different tolerance for heat and cold, yet we were all made by the same God. We do not understand how all these things happened, yet we thank God because He gave us hands. We thank God because He gave us feet. We thank Him because He gave us ears and eyes and a mouth. Then for some reason we go to sleep every night and we wake up the very next day. I'm not sure...]]></description><link>https://www.the-daily-inspiration.com/post/your-reason-to-smile</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a995d8db4c456a507a08dbc</guid><pubDate>Sun, 30 Aug 2026 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Art Malloy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Steadfast Faith]]></title><description><![CDATA[He lost his family, all of his property, his riches, and his health was failing. This is the story of what God allowed Satan to do to Job. Then his friends arrived and added insult to injury, saying bad things were happening because Job was a sinner and God was punishing him. With friends like that, who needs enemies? Job told them he had done nothing wrong. During the remaining part of his life, God gave Job ten more children, even more riches, and health good enough to live to 140 years....]]></description><link>https://www.the-daily-inspiration.com/post/steadfast-faith</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a995cae871b5df6d673aa7d</guid><pubDate>Sat, 29 Aug 2026 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Art Malloy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Patience Love Requires]]></title><description><![CDATA[When Jacob met Rachel it was almost like love at first sight. He wanted her so much that he agreed to work for seven years for her father Laban. Laban was a trickster and sent Leah to him on his wedding night, and Jacob ended up with her. To make a long story short, Jacob agreed to work another seven years for Rachel. Though you can read the full story for yourselves, what is important in this story is the fact that love often causes us to do things that others may not understand. Love can be...]]></description><link>https://www.the-daily-inspiration.com/post/the-patience-love-requires</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a991f1773635d7de2563261</guid><pubDate>Fri, 28 Aug 2026 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Art Malloy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[I Am Determined]]></title><description><![CDATA[Twelve years of bleeding. Twelve years of doctors who couldn't help her. Twelve years of spending everything she had, only to grow worse instead of better. All of this, but the woman with the issue of blood would not give up. She heard that Jesus was passing through. Her path to Him was not clear, but she was so determined that she pressed her way through a packed crowd of people standing between her and Jesus in order to get to Him. Though she could have just stayed home, her determination...]]></description><link>https://www.the-daily-inspiration.com/post/i-am-determined</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a991ec4dcc021399d4d17e7</guid><pubDate>Thu, 27 Aug 2026 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Art Malloy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kindness That Changes The Situation]]></title><description><![CDATA[Jesus stopped at a well in Samaria and met a woman that His culture encouraged Him to avoid. She was a Samaritan, a woman, and someone whose life story caused others to judge her. Jesus didn't just tolerate her presence — He asked her for a drink. He spoke to her directly and was generous with His time. He offered her something no one else could: living water and dignity. He told her her own story — that she had five husbands, and the man she was with now wasn't one of them. But He did not...]]></description><link>https://www.the-daily-inspiration.com/post/kindness-that-changes-the-situation</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a991e6e73635d7de256308a</guid><pubDate>Wed, 26 Aug 2026 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Art Malloy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Afraid To Start? (Part II)]]></title><description><![CDATA[When God speaks to you, He may not give you all the information. There is a reason for it. When He called Abraham to take Isaac to be sacrificed, He did not name the mountain, nor did He say how far it was — He just told Abraham that He would show him the mountain. Abraham arose the next morning, saddled his donkey, gathered wood for the offering, and started out. He traveled for three days just trusting God. He didn't wait for clarity. He didn't demand the whole plan before taking the first...]]></description><link>https://www.the-daily-inspiration.com/post/afraid-to-start-part-ii</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a991e14e6f4cab171688e6e</guid><pubDate>Tue, 25 Aug 2026 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Art Malloy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Afraid To Start? (Part I)]]></title><description><![CDATA[Do not doubt that which God has spoken into your ear. As He speaks into your ear, it will definitely affect your heart and your mind. Perhaps you are afraid to begin because you are not sure where to start. You will always know when God is speaking to you, because that which He calls you to do will also benefit others, not just yourself. So what did you put on the shelf that needs to be started? Instead of being afraid, know that where God gives vision, He also gives provision. David started...]]></description><link>https://www.the-daily-inspiration.com/post/afraid-to-start-part-i</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a991d6db79de6bdd0bd70be</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 Aug 2026 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Art Malloy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Value Of A Woman]]></title><description><![CDATA[Women influence everything that happens anywhere and everywhere. It was God's decision that life flows through women. When Israel was in great need of a leader, God raised up a woman named Deborah. People came to her as she sat under a palm tree for wisdom and judgment. Even Barak, a great warrior, was called to lead Israel's army against a powerful enemy commander — he told Deborah he would only go into battle if she went with him. She agreed, but told him plainly that the victory would not...]]></description><link>https://www.the-daily-inspiration.com/post/the-value-of-a-woman</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a991d08871b5df6d672deee</guid><pubDate>Sun, 23 Aug 2026 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Art Malloy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Promise That Is Yours]]></title><description><![CDATA[You prayed a prayer that you wanted no one else to hear. It was a prayer for something you believe you needed for yourself, or to help a dear friend or loved one. Now you are waiting for evidence that God heard you. Instead of waiting for that evidence, let your faith guide your response — begin to rejoice with expectation, for God will not withhold from you that which you need. Your faith will shorten your wait and help you move from day to day with great expectations. Remember that God made...]]></description><link>https://www.the-daily-inspiration.com/post/the-promise-that-is-yours</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a991caec68753896ea52c82</guid><pubDate>Sat, 22 Aug 2026 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Art Malloy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[All Things]]></title><description><![CDATA[Quite often, our circumstances cause us to lose focus on what we have prayed for. Those circumstances cause us to wonder what God is waiting on. They cause us to doubt that God is working on our behalf or that He is listening to us. Our challenge is to recognize that God is always preparing us for something better. We do not always like our circumstances. Remember that when Jesus was on the cross, He was in an uncomfortable place, but what He experienced on the cross allows us all to have...]]></description><link>https://www.the-daily-inspiration.com/post/all-things</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a991c5573635d7de2562b9f</guid><pubDate>Fri, 21 Aug 2026 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Art Malloy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Prayer Of Love]]></title><description><![CDATA[May God bless you with the ability to love everyone, even those who do not like you and those who are different from you. May He bless you with the wisdom to know that love begets love, and grant you a heart that gives love without conditions. May we all come to know that the love we show may be the only love that many may experience. May we learn to love as He loved — with love that doesn't judge and doesn't come with stipulations — and come to know the peace that comes from unconditional...]]></description><link>https://www.the-daily-inspiration.com/post/a-prayer-of-love</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a991bfcc68753896ea52ad0</guid><pubDate>Thu, 20 Aug 2026 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Art Malloy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Process And The Promise]]></title><description><![CDATA[When God delivered the Israelites out of Egypt, He didn't lead them straight to the Promised Land, nor did He lead them on the road through Philistine country, which would have been a shorter route to Canaan. Instead He led them on the road toward the Red Sea, and we know the miracle that happened there. You see, my friends, when God makes a promise, there is also a process — otherwise He could just give something to you immediately, which does not require a promise. Often in our lives,...]]></description><link>https://www.the-daily-inspiration.com/post/the-process-and-the-promise</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a991ba173635d7de2562a01</guid><pubDate>Wed, 19 Aug 2026 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Art Malloy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Power Of Faith]]></title><description><![CDATA[When the widow of Zarephath was approached by Elijah and asked to prepare some food for him before she fed herself and her son during a famine, she could have refused. Instead she exercised her faith and was obedient. As a result, she and her son had provision of food for the duration of the famine. The power of her faith allowed her to be obedient. You see, it is not faith if you wait to see how things turn out — faith is believing in what is not visible, not available, or not existent.

Each one only seems to care about their own personal needs. No one shows any fear of our creator and the maker of this earth, our God that made heaven and earth. We must depend on the love of Jesus to bring us through these dire times. The love of Jesus is our strong tower and our hope for tomorrow and today. We are the children of the King...]]></description><link>https://www.the-daily-inspiration.com/post/we-need-jesus-always</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a991af1dcc021399d4d0f05</guid><pubDate>Mon, 17 Aug 2026 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Art Malloy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Power Of God]]></title><description><![CDATA[Everything we do is because it is allowed by our God. Let us take the time to praise and give glory to His name. God is the creator of heaven and earth, He is always aware of our activity and knows just what it is that we need. The power of God can move mountains and calm angry seas. Everything obeys the will of God. Even the evil of this world must bow to the will of God. Nations have been destroyed for not obeying God's will, or mistreating the people that serve God. Everything that is on...]]></description><link>https://www.the-daily-inspiration.com/post/the-power-of-god</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a991a43b79de6bdd0bd6972</guid><pubDate>Sat, 15 Aug 2026 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Art Malloy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Living By The Plan Of God]]></title><description><![CDATA[Giving your life to Jesus for the cause of the gospel is your first step to living by the plan of God. We all have our own plan and sometimes our life's work that we choose is rewarding, but nothing can be more rewarding than doing the will of God our creator. Living by the plan of God may be challenging, but in Christ you have a loving Savior that will never let you down under any circumstances.
