Let God Drive: Overcoming Anxiety Through Trust
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...

Jesus Is Your Peace: Finding Tranquility in Christ
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...

Forgive But Don't Forget - Finding 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...

Don't Worry About Tomorrow - Live One Day at a Time

Don't Worry: God's Provision and Care
"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your h...

Walking by Faith Through Life's Storms
So today I’m having surgery for an accident I had racing over the holiday. No big deal, I should be great in a few weeks. But that’s not what today is about. What I want to talk about is faith. Yeah, we talk about it a lot but it is essential we have it. It’s the core of what makes our salvation...

Rebooting Our Souls: God's Strength Through Rest
And just like that, we’re back! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and spent it with family and friends resting. I did, sort of, but I got plenty time to “recharge”. Speaking of recharging, a funny thing happened on re-entry to regular life. You see, I was in Florida and unable to have...

The Spiritual Necessity of Rest
I want to leave you all this week with a thought that I think we all feel more often than we admit. That’s the feeling of needing a rest! If you’re like me, as the year comes to an end, we find our selves wide open and wondering where the year went. Well, it went the same place they all do and ev...

Share Your Peace - Your Testimony Matters
So pay close attention to what I’m about to tell you. That peace that God has blessed you with that is getting you through or has gotten you though tough times, well it’s not just for you. Yep, it’s true. As a good friend on mine told many many years ago, “if you want to keep it, you gotta share...

God's Peace vs. The World's Peace
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. Happen to me three weeks ago, may have happened to yo...

Finding Peace in Life's Darkest Moments
So yesterday we remembered one of the most tragic days in the history of the US. I say that for those alive when it occurred, we will never forget. But think about how you felt then and how you feel today. The event, while still tragic and heartbreaking, with time has become easier to take. That’...

Handing Over Our Worries to God
I was nauseous as I drove to the visitation tonight for my dad’s passing. All day long leading up to the time I needed to go I was feeling pretty calm, like “I got this...” Then the time came to actually go. With an admittedly sheepish prayer for strength I drove to the funeral home. To my amazem...

God's Peace That Surpasses All Understanding
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 there may be some more during my earthly...

Mastering 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 Journey, Not the Destination
“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 end of the quarter and I found myself slipping in and out what I call my “peace” or “serenity” yesterday. It gave me pause to th...

Choose Love 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...

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear
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...

Be Strong and Courageous: God's Command, Not Suggestion
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. 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. It’s something nice to hear. But God steps up H...

Better Left Unspoken: The Wisdom of Restraint
I got to thinking over the last week 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 th...

Freedom Through Forgiveness
Hope everyone had a great weekend! So, last night while my wife was watching The Oscars, 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 oth...

Finding Peace Before Speaking: A Heart Change
I’m keeping with yesterday’s theme, how many times have you “let it fly” with your tongue and emotions raging because of what we felt were unjustified wrongs done against us, and before we could bring those emotions to Christ, we let them fly. If this sounds familiar, believe me, we all have had...

Living in the House of Grace
“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that s...

Don't Live in the Rear-View Mirror
So I’ve have a wonderful 50th birthday and I’ve spent quite a bit of time reflecting on my 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. But fear is o...

Overcoming Fear Through Faith and Fellowship
We’ve talked about having Faith for the past couple of days now and I’d like to close the week by wrapping up how we exercise that Faith in overcoming our troubles and fears through fellowship with others. When was the last time you shared your fears and struggles with a close friends? You see, w...
