- Hope
Hope Is Not a Hashtag, It's the Source of Your Strength
You know, Hope is a word that gets used a lot these days. I hope you're doing well, I hope you're doing good, etc. It's even used in hashtags for...

Jesus Doesn't Give Peace, He Is Peace
As I continue down this path of treatment now for the last four years, somethings happening. What started as my season full of anxiety and worry is becoming, oddly peaceful…Peace and serenity. We all seek it, we all crave it and we all need it. But where is it exactly? You may be like me and thin...

Finding God's Peace in Hard Times
Wow, November already…So, I did me some thinking over the weekend about my daily prayer with God and I’d say the number one thing I ask for is peace. Not much of anything matters to me as much as a sense of peace and serenity that only God can give me. You see, like most everyone, I too have seen...
- Peace
Finding Non-Anxious Presence Like Jesus
So I’ve been reading and writing about “finding peace” of and on for a year now. To me, it is one of the most essential parts of my relationship with Christ. My vision of Jesus, in part, is peace. But I have learned recently about a phrase that young students in seminary school are taught and tha...

Finding Peace in the Middle of Life's Storm
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."”John 16:33 It’s the middle of the fourth quarter in my world and I found myself slipping in and out what I call my “peace” or “serenity” yesterday....

Perfect Peace in Imperfect Times: God Meets Us in Trials
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...
- Fear
Perfect Love Casts Out Fear: Overcoming Worry with Faith
I’m sure I’m like the rest of us when I say I’m bad about fear and worry. No matter how much I KNOW my life is in Gods hands and he always provides, I still get caught in worry. When that happens, I think we are not necessarily driving God away, but we are certainly keeping him at bay. “There is...

Don't Let the Past Dictate Your Destiny
So, I’ve been thinking lately, reflecting on the past both good and bad, and one of the things I keep coming back to is what and why I feared some of the things I’ve been through and survived and what or why would I fear what’s ahead of me. I think with the current environment we are all wonderin...
- Faith Vs Belief
Faith vs Belief: Love That Casts Out Fear
So I made the comment yesterday that, “Believing is not Faith”. I’m confident of this and I believe that, while related, they are drastically different. Faith is not believing in God’s goodness only when we are out of the storm; faith is believing in God’s goodness right in the middle of it. The...

From Anxiety to Faith: Who Holds Your Future
Are we addressing the real issues in our anxiety over what the future holds? Is our anxiety a product of not knowing what the future holds? I submit to you that we are anxious because WE are trying to control what happens and not truly giving our lives to God to navigate. We may “believe” he has...
- Forgiveness
Forgive Without Limit for True Peace
I was thinking on forgiveness a little more over the weekend, and I just want to say, forgiveness is not easy. But no matter how many times a person hurts you, you got to forgive them without limit. I know, I get it, but we have to. To forgive doesn’t mean to forget. You don’t have to reconcile w...
- Forgiveness
Forgiveness Sets You Free
One of my most favorite topics to discuss is forgiveness. If you’ve been in this devotional journey with me for the last seven and a half years, you know I like to talk about it. But why you may ask? Well, it’s forgiveness that has given us the hope for an eternal life with our maker and it’s for...

Learning to Forgive - The Path to Inner Peace
You ever heard someone say, “that person’s hurt me so many times there’s no way I could ever forgive them”? I have...I may have thought it a time or two as well. Maybe you have? “Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against...
- Peace
Being a Non-Anxious Presence Like Jesus
So I’ve been reading and writing about “finding peace” off and on since I started this devotional group in 2018. To me, it is one of the most essential parts of my relationship with Christ. My vision of Jesus, in part, is peace. But I want to revisit a phrase that young students in seminary schoo...

Finding God's Peace When Your World Is Upside Down
Can we have peace in our hearts when our world is turned upside down?Pretty good question that requires an honest look inward. You see the kind of peace the world give us is pretty sketch at best. It can change on a whim with no notice at all. Happened to me last summer with the cancer diagnosis,...

Choose Forgiveness Over Vengeance
Watching the news, scrolling through social media or just taking an watchful eye on what goes on around us, I can’t help but notice that it seems like everyone is out for vengeance. It’s ridiculous honestly. We have talked repeatedly about forgiveness and it’s a HUGE topic with me as it is the es...
- Gratitude
Gratitude Changes Everything
I read this last night and it bears repeating;“We don’t need to see things differently to be grateful; rather, we must be grateful to see things differently.”Wow, I need to read that. You see, God turns our gratitude into goodness, adds peace to our pain, and provides strength in our struggles. G...

Finding Peace in the Journey, Not the Destination
24I had a great time celebrating the fourth yesterday and got to spend time with a new member of our group yesterday and we got to talk about this devotional, keeping it going through my treatments and what I got out of it. Well, in short I just had to keep moving forward. Getting this out gave m...
- Wise Speech
Better Left Unspoken
I got to thinking recently how some things are better left unspoken; don’t give them airtime. In other words, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all...right? Proverbs 10:19 “In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is wise”.Some things are b...
- Joy
True Joy Beyond Political Chaos
“Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!”Psalms 32:11 With the election season heating up and the increase in nauseating political garbage, I was thinking how nice it is that we don’t rely on that circus to provide our peace and happiness. One o...

Finding Rest in Christ's Easy Yoke
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."”Matthew 11:28-30 I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to...

Jesus Doesn't Give Peace - He IS Your Peace
Peace and serenity. We all seek it, we all crave it and we all need it. But where is it exactly? You may be like me and think it’s just in the absence of noise or conflict. But it’s not in the absence those things. It’s the tranquil feeling that’s not dependent on you circumstances. The peace we...

Forgiveness Doesn't Mean Forgetting
You ever heard someone say, “that person’s hurt me so many times there’s no way I could ever forgive them”? I have...I may have thought it a time or two as well. Maybe you have? “Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against...

Your Victory Was Secured on the Cross
664/15/24So, by now you may already know that Scotti Scheffler has won the Masters. In his post round interview he talked about the conversation he was having with his friends Sunday morning prior to the final round. He wanted to win so bad that it had become almost a worry of sorts. He told his...
