Growing Love Through Faith: Knowing the Unseen God

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...

Asking for Wisdom: God's Generous Promise

From Complaining to Gratitude: Changing Your Heart
I want to wrap up this weeks discussions surrounding what comes out of our mouths with the idea of complaining. I’m guilty as charged and no matter how much I try to stop it, I still fail. Good news is God has been working on me and he’s given me an “out” and I’m getting better. Let me elaborate...

How Thoughts Affect Our Physical Health
In an effort to better understand why/how someone suffers from depression, I’ve been digging into The Word and reading all I can. I wanted to share today more on what I’m finding on the mind, our thoughts and how we are or are not centering them around the right things and God. There is a spiritu...

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...

Grateful for God's Perfect Timing
Because of travel and family time, today will be the last devotional for the week. We will start back again on Monday. But I want to just say that I am most thankful this season for God’s perfect timing. You know, we sometimes carry burdens we were not created to carry and we were not created to...

A Prayer of Thankfulness and Trust
As I’m reading about thankfulness this week, I came across this prayer of sorts about being thankful. I couldn’t write it any better so I thought I’d share it for 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...

Standing Tall on Our Knees in Thanksgiving
As we start this week of thanksgiving let’s try and focus on just that...“Nobody stands as tall as a Christian on his knees”I love this anonymous quote. It reminds me to spend time on my knees and thank the Lord for all his blessings and forgiveness. I need it. And because I need it (forgiveness)...

Transform Your Mind, Transform Your Life

Who Are You Beyond What You Do?
I drove up to my camper in the mountains Wednesday night to fly and get away and collect my thoughts and support a friends who was hoping to have his Solo flight. Well, there was a few people that were new there and of course I had to go meet them...it’s kind of what I do. Idle meeting new people...

Prayer: Listening Before Running Away
I read a great quote on prayer,“The difficulty with almost everyone who prays is that he says "amen" and runs away before God has a chance to answer. Listening to God is far more important than giving Him our ideas. “Prayer is a two-way communication relationship with God. Most of us just pray to...

God's Unfolding Plan: Miracles in His Perfect Timing
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...

Counting All as Loss for Christ
You ever take a minute and look around your life and reflect on the blessing He has given you? I’m sure you have, we all do at times. This morning, as I was digging into the word, I was reflecting on some of those things and it struck me that much of what I was grateful for were things of this wo...

The 4 C's: What to Do When You're Lost in Life

Prayer: Your First Line of Defense, Not Last Resort
20How 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 a lot and I’m guilty of saying it too. While clearly nothing is wrong with it and prayer is a good thing,...

God Hears Your Prayers - Keep Praying with Faith
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...

Worship the One Who Died: Victory Over Death
You know, we are all pushed in many ways by others in directions that can alter our relationship with Christ. I read a quote yesterday that said, “don’t let someone who didn’t die for affect the way you worship someone who did.” Wow, I love it. We read in Revelations, “When I saw him, I fell at h...

Taking Inventory of God's Good Gifts
So to take us into the weekend, I thought I’d have a little fun but ask a serious question too. First, I grabbed a verse from James. I grabbed 1:17, because my race number is 117. Why not right? “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with who...
