Seeker

Thank You, Father, for your assurance that those who seek You will also find You. Isaiah 45:19 “Those who seek Me diligently will find Me.”

Anxiety

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7 So often our worries are so heavy because we refuse to put them down. Let's cast our burdens on the Lord. Let's consciously...

My Grace is Sufficient

‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness'” (2 Corinthians 12:7-9).

To Love Like God

Does God only love Christians? Does this question even need to be asked? Unfortunately, yes, because there is an impression out there that that He does. I encounter it in innuendo and assumption.

Learning from Failure

We would probably all prefer to grow in our faith without ever making a mistake before God's eyes, but we cannot deny that missteps are instructive. Failure teaches believers

The Holy Spirit Enlightens

When you spend time daily in Bible reading and study, your life will change. After reading God’s word consistently for several months, you will be amazed by the things God has done in your life.

The Slippery Path

In some sense the path to heaven is safe. But in other respects there is no road as dangerous; it is overrun with difficulties. One false step (and how easy it is to step absently if grace is absent), and down we go.

Never Alone

Never alone! What a promise. God will go with him, and us, through all the seasons of life, through all our ups and downs,

Hope Restored Along the Way

“He restores my soul.” (Psalm 23) Our Shepherd majors in restoring hope to the soul. Whether you are a lamb lost on a craggy ledge or a city slicker alone in a deep jungle, everything changes when your rescuer appears.

The Secret of Contentment

The hardships of life can easily drag us down if we don’t keep our focus on the Lord.When you feel unsatisfied, remember all you have in Christ and respond according to these truths rather than your feelings.

Patience and Trust

"Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1 Today's technology lets us connect with anyone at any time. We have to make an effort to NOT be connected. And we expect that when we want a response, we'll get one quickly.

Meet Your Fears with Faith

Meet Your Fears with Faith “...and teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:20

What You Can Rely On

There is a spiritual parallel in Proverbs 3:4-5 that assures us we can lean on, trust in and be confident in the Lord, casting aside our own inadequate insight or understanding. If we do, he will prepare the life road ahead. I like the Amplified Bible translation where it says He will make “plain our paths.”

You’re Still Mine

Sometimes I wake up and wonder if God’s still there. It’s been a while since I talked with him. I get busy with so many things.

God of Love

How sweet it is to witness the Savior intimately connecting with His own beloved people! There can be nothing more delightful than being led into this fertile field of delight by the Holy Spirit.

Wonderful Friendship

Thought: When I look for a faithful friend, my first thought will be of Christ Himself, who truly qualifies as my very best friend.

2023-04-14

Turning Toward the Son

We must regularly and intentionally turn to the Son. Bask in his love, drink of his love, accept his love. Feed regularly on the nutrients from his Word, the Bible.

Exceedingly Abundantly

‘By His mighty power at work within us, He is able to accomplish infinitely more than We would ever dare to ask or hope.” Ephesians 3:20

Trust in the Lord Forever

When we see mountains we feel small, knowing not only how much larger they are than we are, but also how much longer they have been here than we have been.

2023-04-12

His Presence and Help

Thought|: Life crashes in and we wish we could be children again and have someone to take care of us and protect us. Into our confused and chaotic world, God's promise comes to us once again.

The Power of the Cross

Righteous Father, I know the cross was a brutal symbol of being cursed. Yet to me it is as precious as it is brutal and it is as beautiful as it was hideous. Through the Cross, you saved me from my sin and showed how much you loved me. Thank you!

Hosanna

As we celebrate the Easter season let us not only remember to express our adoration, praise and joy but let's remember the 'why' as well; The resurrection! Our salvation depends on it!

He Took My Place

Isaiah 53:5 "He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed." Christ’s death doesn’t mean that we won’t have to face physical death, but we can escape spiritual death. Spiritual death, which is separation from God.

On the Bottom Looking Up

When you hit bottom as David did, there is a way back. Focusing on the Lord can lead you out of discouragement and into His presence.
