Don't Worry, God Provides Like He Does for Birds
So, another one of the members of this group (new one actually) is going through cancer as well. We actually had a great conversation about worrying and how it can creep into out heads.

Finding God's Peace in Life's Storms
So, In my daily prayer with God 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 some hard times. Heck, I’m sure they may be some more during my eart...

Finding Peace: The Art of Non-Anxious Presence
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...

God's Peace Beyond Our 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...

Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."”Joshua 1:9 Hearing that you should be strong and courageous is a lofty notion. It’s a pretty idea.

Release the Poison: The Power of Forgiveness
Last night while we were “Netflix and chillin’”, I was going through some older devotionals and I came across something I wrote or shared a while ago. It’s definitely worth sharing again.“Harboring unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person the die; it’s not hurting the...

What a Friend We Have in Jesus - Really Listen
Every once in a while I will stop, take a breath and really listen. What I mean is we live in such a fast paced world and our brains pick up on things that provide stimulus to us an it deciphers what we are hearing or reading without us consciously really reading or hearing it. You dig what I’m t...

Past as Reference, Not Residence: Overcoming Fear
1/18/19So I’ve been thinking lately as I’m coming up on another year on this rock and 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....

Believing vs Faith - Perfect Love 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...

The Power of Restraint in Words
So I dipped my toe into a debate with someone who without solicitation started attacking me for my opinions and beliefs. I say, “dipped my toe” because right after thinking what I should say in my defense, I thought better of it. No amount of me “being right” was going to change this persons view...

Finding Peace in a Chaotic World
I was talking to a friend last night and I somewhat in jest said, “I wish the world would just let me live in peace!” Ever felt this way?We live in a world where there are so many situations, people and voices that want to steal our peace. But as children of God, I believe that we must have an at...

Finding Peace When God's Ways Don't Make Sense
I’ve got to be honest, the last few weeks have been the most frustrating weeks I can recall in a long time. It’s been a never ending barrage of gut shot after gut shot. Trying to carry the burden of others and taking care of my own at the same time. I’m sure you’ve been there, we all have. So, I...
