Being Trustworthy and Dependable
It’s been a busy week and I’ve enjoyed our readings and have had some good conversations springing up from them. One of which came up this week about trust. It came up in the context of one of you said, “I can count on and trust you sending the morning devotional.” That has sat on me a while and...

Learning Patience: Waiting on God's Timing
I have been forced to learn a lot about myself this year and one of the things I’ve learned is I need to get better with patience. Not only with life but mostly with people! I always thought I was a relatively patient person until I started trying to really learn what it meant to be patient...evi...

Walking by Faith, Not by Sight
19So we’ve been pounding out gratitude the last two weeks and while it’s always a great topic and one we need to continue to be intentional about, I want to shift gears a little bit. Why? Well, because I want to talk about something else, like faith! Ha! (And I’m in the book of Mark)I’ve been wat...

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’...

Press On: Leaving the Past Behind
We must press on, we must leave the past in the past and press on in our daily lives not for our glory but His. Man, we need to let go of the past, the pain, the heartbreak, and the disappointments. We need to let go sadness and instead choose to live our lives in faith. We take God at His Word....

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...

Who's Really Waiting? God's Perfect Timing in Our Lives
You ever feel like your waiting for God’s plan for you? I sure do, but what if all this waiting isn’t really us waiting for God but rather Him waiting for us? What I am getting at is who is actually doing the waiting? We may think it’s us, but we could be wrong. Think about when Abraham asked God...

Give God the Wheel
I want to wrap up this week by simply saying, “Quit driving, give God have the wheel!”Look, I’ve talked about this many times before, but God continues to show me time and time again that He is in control, not me. No matter how many times I pray for something to happen or I try and drive a situat...

Bloom Where You Are Planted
“But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.”Jeremiah 29:7 God didn’t put you where you are by mistake. He doesn’t make mistakes. When we believe in our hearts God is good and that His though...

Be Still and Know That God's Got This
Over the weekend, I noticed a tattoo my friend had; “Be still and know”. This is from the Psalm of King David. Psalm 46:10-11“"Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!" The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Se...

Planting Seeds, 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 t...

What Are You Waiting For? Step Out in Faith
What are you waiting for? I’ve been thinking about this simple question for over a week now. You see, one of us has been given a great opportunity to change the direction of their life and career by making some big changes and trusting God to lead the way. I’m super excited for him too, God’s got...

If God Is for Us, Who Can Be Against Us?
So in Romans 8, we are told, “if God is for us, who can be against us?” What an incredibly comforting promise from the living God, especially in the troubled times in which we are living. But God requires from us two things in return: they are faithfulness and obedience. You see, He is a jealous...

The Vagrant Faith: Having Everything, Owning Nothing
What are you trying to hang on to that Jesus wants you to let go of, and turn it over to him for safekeeping? I’ve had to give up some things in my life that I thought I never could, but ultimately brought me closer to Christ. “This earth is not my home, I’m just passing through.” How many times...

Beyond Our Strength: Learning to Rely on God Alone
Let keep digging into 2 Corinthians;“For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us...

When God is Silent: Faith in the Quiet Moments
So I’ve been reading thinking about prayer and when God is listening. Does he take a break from listening? Naw, he’s always there...But how do we react when God is silent? You see, God uses silence to draw out faith. Great faith!When God is silent, do we listen to voices that question our right t...

When We Get Angry with God
Why do we sometimes get frustrated or angry with God? Let’s face it, we all do it. We lose a job promotion, a race didn’t go our way, we experience a death in the family, personal injury or financial hardships. This list is long...we all have them. Life’s hard. "God, why did you let that happen?"...

This is God's World, Not Ours
You know, it’s tough when things don’t go the way we think they will. All of us struggle every day to try to get control of our environments. We try to build financial wealth so that we won't suffer need. We try to take care of our health so we don't feel pain or suffer illness. We try to manage...

Letting Go of the Old: True Repentance Brings Refreshing
You know, thinking about our past and learning to let God show us a new way of life has me thinking about repentance. We all have stuff in our lives that we are still holding on to. For some, it’s a secret activity or habit that nobody else knows about. But it’s time to let it go...What is it for...

God's Plans Are Greater Than We Imagine
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”Jeremiah 29:11 Friends, read it again,Over and over...it never gets old. For that reason, I won’t stop writing about it. You see, God has a plan for us, it’s for good and...

Trusting God with 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...

Trusting God Through Life's Storms
Trusting God in the midst of our trials and storms shows Him that we count on Him, not the world. When the choice comes, to choose to make things work by the means this world offers or rely on God, we should choose to rely on God.I can’t help but wonder if part of the difficulties in our lives ar...
