The Balanced Life

Sometimes God gives us enough difficulties to help us appreciate the joys of life. He gives us the hard times so that we may enjoy the good ones. Times of trouble are times for spiritual growth.

How to Know God’s Will

What’s your heart’s desire for the year 2020? As I drive my granddaughters to school in the mornings, we pray over our day and for other concerns or needs we have using memorized scripture passages. In this way, I am attempting to teach my granddaughters to pray biblical prayers.

He Fulfills God’s Promises

Do you claim God's promises so that you can live a supernatural life? "Jesus Christ, the Son of God--isn't one to say 'yes' when he means 'no'. He always does exactly what He says. He carries out and fulfills all of God's promises," 2 Corinthians 1:19

A Need for Spiritual Discernment

Fill the Temple

Father God, help me to empty myself of all the things that do not honor you. Empty me of any hurt, anger, jealousies, and negative thoughts. Then fill me instead with your Spirit so others can witness you in my life. Through your Son, my Savior, I pray this. Amen.

He Brings You Comfort

If I had only one message to proclaim to the Christian world, it would be this: how to know and experience, moment by moment, day by day, the reality of the fullness and power of the Holy Spirit. Everything that has to do with the Christian life involves God the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity.

The Way Out of Trouble

Anytime you notice your heart beating stronger for something else other than God, stop and think about it. God doesn’t like it because it can steer you down the wrong path. So, your heart should belong to God above all else.

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.

Chaos Now For Beauty Later

If your life feels like a frustrating mess right now is it possible that God has renovations underway? Question: Is your life under construction? What verses do you find helpful when the world tilts? How has God brought beauty out of your chaos in the past?

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.
