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.

This Changing Work

Part of the work God does to grow us and change us is by testing through various trials. On the other hand, some of the changing work He does in our lives is quiet and gentle as He asks us to willingly bend our hearts to the work He is doing.

The Gentle Christian

How do I embrace a gentle spirit when I have been hurt and/or deceived? There is only one way. Open myself to Christ and ask Him to develop a gentle, discerning spirit within me.

Proof of Love

“This is how God showed His love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” 1 John 4:9-11

God Guides Us

God cares for His children so much. He is such an organizer that it is nothing for Him to arrange our lives in such a way so we are available to help people in need.

Sweet Half Hour of Prayer

How many of us have an hour to pray? Though it would be sweet, can we really find that much time in a day or even a week to commit solely to prayer? These words of Christ to His sleeping disciples come to mind like words cutting deep: “Could you not watch with me one hour?” (Matthew 26:40)

He Restores My Soul

When we are exhausted, depleted, and on the edge of burn out, we need to have our souls restored! But who can restore our souls? Only the One who will lead us beside still waters! The Lord is our Shepherd.

Meditation for Spiritual Growth

"I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways." Psalm 119:15 There are times when solitude is better than community, and silence is wiser than speech. We will be better Christians if we take more time to be "alone" with God, and gathering spiritual strength through meditation on His Word ...

A Heavenly Affirmation

Each of us has a fantasy that our family will be like the Walton's, an expectation that our dearest friends will be our next of kin. Jesus didn't have that expectation.

Will You Make the Exchange?

When we have worry, doubt, and fear clutched tightly in our hands and our hearts are ruled by anxiety, God wants to say something to us of this effect, “Let go of your burdens and give them to me. I will put in your hands that are now empty and open...Joy, Peace, and Freedom.”

Adopted

We have an adopted son and the pleasure he has brought us has been unequaled. And I thought I was doing him a favor.

God Uses Sorrow for Good

Frank often referred to himself proudly as a self-made man. He bragged that in his youth he had been so poor he didn't have two nickels to rub together. Now his real estate holdings and various business enterprises were worth tens of millions of dollars. He was a pillar in the community, able to give ...

Never Regretted

Friend, God can, and will, use your past. Even the brokenness of an abusive childhood. Ask Him to use you in someone's life today.

The Walk of Faith

When we walk by faith, we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses. They walked the same walk before us. Many of them did not get to see the promises of God fulfilled on this side of Heaven.

A New Heart

LORD, create in us a new heart: to be a Kingdom people and gain a sense of Kingdom purpose for us today. Let us not become indifferent like stone, or get tired in the world, but rather grant in us a new heart, to sing Your praises:

Pillars of an Unshakable Life

There is a God you can turn to and believe in. Trust God to be true to His word. Know that God is:God is the eternal God. Everything there is in the heavens and on the earth—every planet, every plant, every person, and every creature had a first moment, a first day, or a first breath—and that “first” came from God. There has never been an eternal moment without God…from everlasting to everlasting He is God.

Put On a Heart of Compassion

A heart of compassion is achieved not through self-effort but through a God-focused life. As we draw near to Him through His Word and His Son, He transforms our focus, thoughts, and feelings.
