This Isn't My World: Finding Peace in God's Control
You know, it’s tough when things don’t go the way we think they will. All of us struggle every day to try to get control of our environments. We try to build financial wealth so that we won't suffer need. We try to take care of our health so we don't feel pain or suffer illness. We try to manage our relationships to reduce stress. It is humbling, though, to realize that we aren't in control of very much. That happened to me just today, and it’s hard to realize this isn’t “my world”. You see, we are all just here for a little while and this is God’s world. Regardless of how we think it should play out, it’s going to play out how he designed it to. ..“The earth is the Lord 's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein,”Psalms 24:1 We belong to God and so does our plan. It is humbling to realize that we were created for God's benefit, that everything really belongs to him, and that we really own nothing.We are all blessed, give thanks. Have a great weekend. Be Nice. Grace wins

A Better Script
Waiting is boring and passive, and we want things now. But waiting on God builds trust and lets us see His will unfold. When I am ready, He unfolds a script beyond anything I could write myself.

Retreat or Restore
After our greatest failures, we want to hide. But hiding means nobody helps clean up the mess. Real men own up, confess, and let God cleanse. Retreat or repent and restore, what will you choose?

Nothing Nice to Say
Death and life are in the tongue. What comes out of the mouth flows from what's stored in the heart. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Turns out that was the whole thing.
