Savor

We need to give ourselves permission to savor quiet, restful moments. They will refresh you. They will remind you who you are. You will have a new outlook on life and all that is going on around you.

Spend Time with Him

Spend time waiting on God. And, at the end of the day, thank God for the good parts. Question Him about the hard parts. Seek His mercy. Seek His strength.

I Was Watching You

The expression, “actions speak louder than words” comes to mind. Dear Father, I desire to honor you. Show me the areas of my life where my words and actions do not match. Thank you for your Spirit’s presence in my life that gives me the strength to live consistent with your word. Amen.

Guilt comes from a feeling of responsibility for some wrongdoing. But not all guilt stems from ungodly actions. Addressing guilt quickly is important.

God’s Grace

All the Grace I need He freely gives. I am flawed. Every day I miss the mark. I lose patience and say things the wrong way which means I shouldn’t have said them at all. I forget to pray for someone I assured I would remember their prayer request.

Praying on Behalf of Others

...So I prayed for him. Interceded for him. Not a long prayer, just one that asked God to help this brother forgive his mom for so much pain, and that they might be able to talk about it, and work through it.

Be an Encourager

Father, I thank you for people who’ve encouraged me. I want to be an encourager today. Can you be an encourager to someone today? Send a note, make a phone call, go for a walk, and above all, listen more than talk.

Jesus: Our Intimate Friend

We cannot earn Jesus Christ’s love and friendship. He takes the initiative, reaches out, and draws into fellowship those who are willing. None of us are worthy, but we are privileged to live in His love anyway. In the Lord, we find a friend who sticks closer than a brother

Faith Over Fear

Fighting to maintain a peaceful mindset has been a daily battle for me having dealt with the seeds of fear being planted at an early age; all I knew was fear. I didn’t know that peace belonged to me.

A Blessing So Great

I began to tithe as a new Christian when I was made aware of the scriptural principle that everything belongs to God and we are only stewards during our brief time here on earth. Actually a tithe is the Old Testament concept and according to the New Testament concept every believer has the privilege of laying up treasures in heaven far beyond the amount of the tithe. There is a law of sowing and reaping: The more you sow, the more you reap.

God Is!

We live in an art gallery of divine creativity and yet are content to gaze only at the carpet. The psalmist marveled at such holy handiwork. "Where can I go from your Spirit?" he questioned with delight. "Where can I flee from your presence?

Immersed in Grace

To believe we are totally and eternally debt free is seldom easy. Even if we’ve stood before the throne and heard it from the King Himself, we still doubt. As a result, many are forgiven only a little, not because the grace of the King is limited

Expect to See God’s Glory!

If you are a God-seeker, except for times of darkness when the Spirit refines your spiritual senses, you should expect to see the glory of God! There should be an anticipation that any day now --- as you enter your prayer room or go for a walk, or in a dream -

Pieced Together

“Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted” (John 6:12).With Christ as my mold, the pieces of my life have been transformed into something new.

Finding Peace

Faith or Fear. Every day we choose; many times a day. Faith over-rides Fear. Fear over-rides Faith.

Simple Yet Profound Power

“The name of the Lord is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe.” Proverbs 18:10 The Name above all names. “Jesus, Jesus.” The chaos ceased. ...he could not rest from the horror that captured his thoughts until he whispered, “Jesus.”

Stay the Course of Forgiveness

Forgiveness doesn’t diminish justice; it just entrusts it to God. When it comes to forgiveness, all of us are beginners. Stay the course!

Who’s Right vs. What’s Right

It is easy to get caught up in who's right instead of what's right. God will give us opportunities to choose what's right versus who's right, as He continues to mold us to be more like Himself.
