A Heart Full of Gratitude and Praise
I am so grateful for each of you. I’m feeling it and I want to talk about it. Last week I had the chance to talk with a couple of you and you have filled my heart with happiness because you told me you look forward each morning to our little devotional. I even got to talk about it on a podcast, “...

Choosing Praise When We Don't Understand
I came across this prayer of sorts and since I don’t think I could write it any better, I thought I’d just share it with you today;Lord, everything you do is righteous and holy. Though I don’t always understand the things that happen, my heart is set upon you. I will rest in the faithfulness of y...

When God's Ways Don't Make Sense
Unless you live on an island alone there’s a good chance you’ll be faced with dealing with other peoples problems. Family, friends, etc. Trying to carry the burden of others and taking care of you own at the same time can be exhausting. I’m sure you’ve been there, we all have. So, I decided to di...

Becoming Like Children
So I’m sitting in the airport flying back to Atlanta yesterday and I’m people watching. We all do it and it’s fun, especially at airports. Well, something occurred to me while I’m watching a group of kids cruise by…they ain’t worried about a thing. They’re just being kids. Happy about everything,...

God Heals the Brokenhearted and Binds Our Wounds
As we get closer to the weekend, Saturday May 13th, I can’t help but to think about my dad. You see that is his birthday. It’s hard to believe it’s been four years since he passed. I know I’m not as “walking sad” as I was four years ago and the waves of sadness have certainly calmed, but I miss h...

Sunrise Faith: Growing Love for the God We Cannot See
As I sit here watching the sun come up this morning, I can help but marvel at the beauty God has made. How do I know he made it? Well, I have faith that he did. It’s the same faith that I have in Him that allows me to grow closer to Him. You see, developing a love for God is a little more challen...

Blessed in Trials: Standing Steadfast for the Crown of Life
“Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.”James 1:12 As we’ve talked about staying true to our faith under hard times and how that will build perseverance, James tells us t...

Right Heart, Right Environment - Walking with God
So many times we think we are doing the right thing in our relationship with God but with no result. Most of the time it’s because we have put ourselves in the wrong environment. Think of it this way, if you are under water trying to breathe and you’re inhaling and exhaling, you’re doing everythi...

God's Plan Unfolding Before Us
God’s Plan for our life is unfolding before us but often times it’s not visible to us. Most of the time I would say it’s happening so slowly that I’m not sure if it’s happening. But then, when I least expect it and through no effort of my own, God reveals pieces of his plan to me. The things that...

Planting Seeds, Not Moving Mountains
So, will we always see the result of the work we’ve done by witnessing to others and being there when they need us the most? Most certainly not. But that shouldn’t discourage us from being there and sharing the Gospel. You see, we never really know how God is using us, we just need to have faith...

Prayer: Your First Line of Defense
How many times a day do we see and hear people ask for prayer, say they prayed or given the response after something bad happens, “my thoughts and prayers are with you”? I’d say it happens daily and I say it too. While clearly nothing is wrong with it and prayer is an amazing thing, using it as a...

Does God Hear Our Prayers?
Have you ever just cried out to the Lord in need and wonder if he “got the message”? I’m sure you have, I know I have. It’s funny though, even through we have faith that God hears us, we still have the human inclination to wonder if He heard us and if He’s got it. “And this is the confidence that...

Finding Perfect Peace in Life's Imperfect Circumstances
So, what causes us to think God’s peace equals perfection on earth? Our expectations. I read where a pastor once said, “If I’m going to live at peace, I’ve got to surrender my expectation of perfection. Peace isn’t found in a place or in a set of circumstances that are problem free.” Amen, huh?Wh...

God is Listening: Your Prayers Aren't Falling on Deaf Ears
You ever get frustrated when you’re talking to someone and it seems like you’re wasting your breath? Like they’re not listening or couldn’t care less? Well, if you’re married like me, you’ve been accused of it by your wife and I’m sure if you have kids you know what I’m talking about...Well, it e...

God's Unchanging Love: Present Even in Bad Times
You know it easy sometimes to think that God isn’t present when things are going bad for us. The feeling that maybe He isn’t there when we deviate from what we think is His plan for us. Well, it is simply not true. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father...

God Our Father: Adopted as His Children Through Faith
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend (I can almost feel spring!) and is ready to get back to work with our daily walk with Christ. Today is Presidents Day, and while I admit, outside of acknowledging the existence of past leaders of our county, it means nothing to me. But it does give me pause...

Finding Peace That Defies Logic
If you’ve been on this devotional list for a long time, you’ve heard me talk about peace and serenity. The peace and serenity I am referring to is the kind you only find through Jesus. The only kind you can find that can sustain you through pain. That is the peace that is sustaining me today...“P...

Strengthening Faith: Finding Answers in God's Word
I had a great conversation with a young man yesterday about his faith in Jesus. You see, like all of us, our faith gets challenged daily by non believers, false profits and believers alike. If we are not careful, it can cause us to have questions about our faith and really lead to some internal c...

Remember: God is God When Life Goes Wrong
“remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,'”Isaiah 46:9-10I don’t know about y...

Choosing Faith Over Feelings
You know, things aren’t always as they seem and mostly it’s our feelings that mask the truth. I will be the first to admit it, I get mine hurt a lot because I let my feelings run crazy inside my head. It takes a conscious effort to reel them in and understand why they are there and what the truth...

Justified by Faith: Grace Plus Nothing
I’ve been thinking the last couple of days about the journey we have been on together and some of the topics I chase down a rabbit hole. Not that I think they’re necessarily bad topics or irrelevant, I just think it’s good to get back to center. Level set, if you will. So, with that being said, I...

Be Ready: Your Enemy Prowls Like a Lion

God's Unchanging Purpose in Our Changing World
Life changes but God remains the same! Yep, it’s true. Look it up. You see, God is going to continue to do what he’s always done and that is he heals and forgives us. He’s going to continue to watch over us and set our path. His path for us remains the same and His purpose hasn’t changed. What is...

Surrendering My Plans to God's Perfect Will
I choose to be a believer so that God can make miracles happen in my life.You see, every time I have tried and figure things out myself, I’ve failed. Oh, don’t get me wrong, my intentions were always good but my plan was mine. And in my unconscious attempt at rebellion of Gods will for me, I scre...
