Temptations: Doors Closing

We were driving through a small town in southwestern British Columbia when I noticed the sign on a clothing store. The store was called TEMPTATIONS. Interesting name, I thought. Then I smiled when I saw that both of the show windows had huge white banners proclaiming, “DOORS CLOSING.”

His Presence Draws You

Amidst all the lists and details running through my mind I found words from Psalm 23 pushing into my consciousness. God’s presence was nudging me to draw close. I realized again that where I focus is my choice.

Just Be

Be still and know that I AM . . . Even though I know He is God, do I let Him be God over my life? Do I put Him on the back burner until I need His presence?

Skewed Values

In a world with skewed values, and false promises, and fleeting fame, what can we boast in other than the steadfastness of the Lord's love, the incredible riches of the Lord's grace, the incomparable supply of the Lord's blessings, the sweetness of the Lord's people, the mercy of the Lord's plan for our salvation, the promise of the Lord's tomorrow, the..... of the Lord's...!

Be Patient

Don’t we all go through moments of impatience, if not verbally, then in our thoughts? The Holy Spirit reminded me of that just yesterday, I was impatient with a new waitress at a coffee shop.

Where to Give Yourself First

So very simple!! First I give myself to the Lord. I dip into the well of all He is and draw up all that I need for this moment and this day. THEN I go and give out of that to others.

New Life for Old

Beautiful Him; Beautiful You

How beautiful are His ways with you; how beautiful is His work within you.

Who’s There?

We cannot close our ears to Christ’s steady knocks and think he will give up. He never will. Jesus wants us to welcome him in with hearts hungering to spend time with him.

If You Will, You Can

Trust requires humility. Asking admits need. Expressing our deepest desire leaves us vulnerable. By seeking a specific outcome, we risk disappointment.

Simplicity of God’s Love

The simplicity of God’s love, not our eloquence or expertise is what touches a person’s life.

Greater Things

Regardless of how difficult the times, those who have been born again by the grace of God, redeemed and forgiven by the blood of Christ, adopted into God’s heavenly family, indwelt by and sealed with the Holy Spirit, given an eternal home in Heaven and empowered by God for significant service have no right to be anything but optimistic.

What Leads You Today?

Father God, Today I want to be LED by Your Spirit in a fresh way. Please show me Your loving mercies as I look for them. Encourage my heart and show me who I can encourage.

We All Need It

Dealing With Anger

Some people want to hang on to ill feelings, but nursing a resentful attitude isn’t sustainable; anger must be put aside. If we retain our “right” to hold grudges, we can’t expect to live in the new nature Christ has created for us.
