Right Us Again

You shouldn't struggle on your own because, like a sheep, most likely it will be beyond your capability to get right again no matter how hard you try. Press the call button and seek out the Shepherd. He will have compassion and help you get on your feet again, or carry you until you’re strong enough to do so.

God Knows Us by Name

We need a shepherd. We need a shepherd to care for us and to guide us. And we have one. ONE who knows us by name.

He Leads Me

God’s Design

God's pattern is: spirit, soul, body - in that order. Yet most of us live our lives in the opposite, leading from our bodily appetites and soul satisfactions.

Hitting Rock Bottom

People “hit rock bottom” when they reach the lowest point of their lives and realize they have nothing else to lose. For some, it’s the only place they can clearly see themselves and their situation and understand how much they need God’s love and mercy to pull out of the rocky pit.

The Highway to Zion

Each of us has times of weeping when our hearts and hopes seem crushed. Because God has placed in our hearts "highways to Zion," however, we pass through valleys; we do not live in them.

You Get to Choose

Under grace, we now can obey in the Spirit's power. Even if we make the wrong choice, we have the Holy Spirit nudging us to get it right.

God’s Strength God’s Plan

I'm stronger than I feel because God is stronger than I could ever be. And I don't have to figure it all out because He already has it figured out. Down to the very last detail.

The Touch That Transforms

Jesus’ Touch Transformed. His approach was personal. Although He had the power to simply speak a word or command illness to leave, He often chose a more hands-on approach.

Pray Before You Leap

As I recently prayed about an important decision I needed to make, I remembered there was a time when I didn’t. As a young Christian I didn’t even know that I should.

Authority in an Age of Autonomy

“If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15).

Believe and Love

God gives us gifts and talents to use for His glory. But the biggest influence we might have for the kingdom of God is seeking Him with all of our hearts and serving the people who surround us.

The Blessings of Inadequacy

Inadequacy challenges our faith. Paul says, "Our adequacy is from God" (v. 5)"Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God."

Immediately

All farmers know that when the harvest is ripe, time is of the essence. Our time on this stage is short, no matter our ages, and the harvest is ready. It won’t last forever.

Be Teachable

We are truly fortunate to have a Father that disciplines and instructs us. It is our job to be teachable and make sure we are paying attention.

Proclaim How Much Jesus Has Done for You

Thank you, Lord God, for having mercy on me and saving me. May your Holy Spirit make me bold in telling everyone what you have done for me. Amen.

Surrendering Self

For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.” Mark 8:34-35

Teach Me to Love Again

Father, you know the pain and the heartaches we have experienced in our relationships. You know the deep wounds that still bleed need mending.

Where are We Going?

God has given us the freedom to choose how we live our lives and it is up to us to ensure that we choose the path that God is showing us. Do we take up too much time striving to meet deadlines or accomplish goals?

It’s For You

Father God, thank you that I can come to you and call upon you, not because of who I am but because of who you are. Thank you that you are the same Lord over all of us and you will show yourself to those who call on you.

When God Seems Small

When God seems small, we need to remember the exhortation found many times in the Psalms to magnify the Lord. To “magnify” means to “to increase in significance; to cause to be held in greater esteem; to enlarge.” (Webster’s dictionary)

Immeasurably More

Of all the names for God in the Bible, this is my favorite: "Him who is Able to Do Immeasurably More." Our God is the same God who parted the Red Sea and fed 5,000 on a green hillside with only a couple of sardine sandwiches.
