Ponder the Holiness of God
Stare at the mountain less and at the Mountain Mover more. Ponder the holiness of God. Let his splendor stun you and inspire you!
Trouble and Distress
This verse is hard for me, because I know I am so blessed. Trouble and distress do not seem to be a part of my vocabulary right now.
Into the Heavens
It is not always easy to see the love God has for us. We often hide ourselves from His love behind a cloud of guilt or in a fog of doubt.
What is Your Hail?
Sometimes, we see trials as black cloud-shapes of the enemy, but not every black cloud contains an enemy. What is your hail? your cloud?
A Thorn in the Flesh?
PRAYER: LORD, we are truly sorry for being a pain, again. It dismays us to think we can continue to cause You sadness.
Truly This Was the Son of God
Let’s peer into the window of time and see Jesus’ last hours on earth as he hangs on the cross. His worst enemies in attendance.
Uncomfortable Love
Just as Jesus gave Himself for us, we need to give ourselves to others. It might be our time, a listening ear, or words of encouragement; whatever it is, love will place specific demands…
The Things We Take for Granted

Forever Faithful
Lord, thank You for being so faithful. Please heal my wandering heart. Strengthen my faith and make me steadfast in my pursuit of You. Amen.
A Front Row Seat
Why God does want me to be in community with other believers? Why can’t I just do church on my own? People always make things so complicated and messy.
Let God Choose
Let God choose for you, it will be the right decision. Let God guide you, it will be the right direction.
Lessons from a One-Legged Sandpiper
Lord, Help us not to cave into our circumstances, but to see them as opportunities to run the race with an endurance that only comes from keeping our eyes fixed on You.
The Tapestry of Life
“For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother’s womb…My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in…
Blurred Vision
Reading the Bible at the start of the day is a good place to invite the presence of Jesus in to quiet our rushing about. However, I have found it requires a submissive heart…
Our Mistakes Do Not Define Us
God does not describe us by our failures…or our successes—and that’s freeing because God’s love is not dependent on what we do, or fail to do. We are loved by God, not because we…
Get In and Get Out!
Isn’t this a bit like being a ‘closet’ Christian? By this I mean that one becomes a Christian, studies about being a Christian, learn all about what it is to be a Christian, even…
Seed Planters
I used to work in a program where overtly talking about God was not allowed. It took me years to resolve the fact that while I couldn’t speak the name of Jesus, I could…
Worthy is the Lamb
No one else did what Jesus did. Therefore no one else is worthy of our worship. Only Jesus, together with God the Father — the Savior and Creator of the world — is worthy…
Waiting on God
Repentance, Rest, Quiet, Trust. There is something about these words that appeals to me. They are contrary to human nature, but calming when I am stressed or fearful.
