Silent Adoration

‘I wait quietly before God …. I wait quietly before God, for my hope is in Him.’ Psalm 62:1, 5. When we in our littleness and God in His glory meet, we all understand that what God says has infinitely more worth than what a person says.

Place of Rest

When I try to figure things out all on my own it seems like it becomes more complicated with each angle I attempt to analyze and fix. When I admit it’s not mine to figure out and leave it in God’s hands, a sigh of relief escapes and peace envelops me.

Cast Your Cares on God

Father, teach us to rest in Your love for us. Too often we get sidetracked by the cares and the concerns of this world. Remind us of the need to keep our attention on Your promises to us. Remind us to come to You when we are worried, alone, tired, lonely, and afraid.

He Bears and He Gives

Learning to Cast

Casting my anxiety on God will take practice. Instead of discouragement when we find ourselves worrying about the same thing we have given over to God, we simply do it again knowing that our wise and gracious Father understands that we are novices.

The Merciful

Jesus says the merciful are shown mercy. Forgiving others allows us to see how God has forgiven us. The dynamic of giving grace is the key to understanding grace. For it is when we forgive others, that we begin to feel what God feels.

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

Drifting

Spend time reading God’s Word. Start in the book of John or a Psalm a day along with a Proverb or use a good devotional book based on Scripture. Always ask God’s Spirit to open your heart and mind to receive what He has to show you.

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.

Called Out of Darkness

It’s pretty amazing that, as Jesus followers, we have been called out of darkness. Yet what does that actually mean when darkness seems to cast it’s shadow all around us? How do we escape it when discouragement tugs at our own coattails?
