Security Systems

God promises to never leave or forsake us, to be with us wherever we go, to light the path ahead of us and surround us with His love. We experience that security not by pushing buttons but, by trusting in Him.

Confidence

The dictionary defines confidence as the feeling or belief that one can rely on someone or something; and the state of feeling certain about the truth of something. We read that, “faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see”. Hebrews 11:1

Follow the Good Shepherd

Years ago, I was in a bad place. It was dark and cloudy as I pursued my own sinful pleasures. Angels were not dispatched that day, but the Lord himself sought me out. I wasn’t looking for him when he found me.

Under Construction

Father, thank you for your work in my life. You are good and I know in my heart that you love me and have the best plan, yet at times you know I doubt and become fearful, discouraged, or angry. I confess my failure to trust you. Thank you for being faithful to the plan and your commitment to conform me to the image of your son. Amen.

Jesus Calms the Storm

Perhaps you are going through a personal storm of some kind right now. Storms in our life are opportunities to see the Lord in a new light and in a magnified way. It’s in our extreme need that we begin to see we have too small a view of God.

Enough of This Frenzy

We scamper and scurry, trying to please God, collecting merit badges and brownie points, scowling at anyone who questions our accomplishments. The result? The weariest people on earth.

It’s Never Too Late

Winding Roads and Center Lines

No Condemnation

Do you carry a burden of guilt and self-condemnation? Know from God’s Word that those who are in Christ can lay that burden down and never, ever pick it up again.

No Greater Love

Perhaps the most intense love and protective instinct in the experience of mankind is that of parents toward their children. There is little that most mothers or fathers wouldn't do for a baby.

You Are God’s Great Idea

You are a masterpiece created by God! Oswald Chambers wrote, “Individual lives are the expression of a pre-existing idea in the mind of God.”

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

In our broken world, our relationships are often less than ideal. However, when Jesus dwells within us, He begins to mend the wounds of our broken relationships.

It’s The Thought that Counts

He smiled widely as he mounted the stairs and approached the front door to the house. One hand behind his back, obviously hiding something. As he walked through the doorway, he leaned over to kiss me and proceeded to tell me he was thinking about me on his way home.

Fishy Reactions

Following God's agenda instead of our own is not always easy but when Simon Peter did it, he had enough fish to feed his family for 3 years. Think about it.

Daily Deeds of Kindness

Precious Savior, we pass people every day who need a demonstration of your love. May we search for ways to show extravagant gestures of gracious love, and outlandish acts of kindness.

The Power of God’s Grace

Grace is one of God's most amazing gifts. It provides us with everything we need to live in perfect freedom: pardon for our sins, healing for our hearts, the companionship of God's indwelling Holy Spirit, and access to freely cultivate our relationship with Him. We work, worship, and enjoy life surrounded by His unconditional love. His grace upholds us, fills us, and sustains us.

When the Spirit Prompts, Forgive

Ever wonder how we are nudged by God’s Spirit? I have wondered if the Holy Spirit resides in my thoughts, feelings, or body. I consider this a mystery, however it works.

Worthy of Praise

Thought. What we know about God is confined to our small brains, our limited experiences, our willingness to read about the great deeds of God in Scripture, and our hearing of his incredible work through the lives of older Christians.

Abundant Life for the Asking

If we view Him as a God of love and forgiveness, we are prompted to love and forgive others also. Our view of God determines the quality and degree of our faith.

Who Do People See

When I read that God is “compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love,” I can ask myself if those same characteristics are becoming more a reality in my life. Am I looking at difficult people with compassion?
