303 devotionals in Trust
December 13, 2024
I want to wrap up this week by simply saying, “Quit driving, let 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 situati...
stillnessNovember 29, 2024
Short and sweet for this Friday after I’ve eaten way too much…“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 for...
faithNovember 26, 2024
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...
gods-protectionNovember 21, 2024
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...
surrenderNovember 12, 2024
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...
sufferingNovember 6, 2024
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...
fearOctober 28, 2024
After I send this out this morning, I am heading for another “procedure”. These things have become a normality in my life but it wasn’t always that way. The anxiety and fear that I use to built up inside me was silly thinking back. No matter what I did, I could not relax. While the procedures are...
prayerOctober 17, 2024
“Good Lord willing …”How many times have we heard this saying as response to questions about our plans we have for our lives? I’ve heard it a lot! I’ve said it! I suppose it’s meant to express our beliefs that we believe and trust that if ______ is God’s will then it will be. But are we praying f...
patienceOctober 16, 2024
How are we doing waiting on God’s Plan for us? I ask because I’ve been a bit “all over the place” lately wanting to be done with treatments but knowing they’re going to be indefinite…it’s frustrating, but I have to relax and wait. “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wa...
forgivenessOctober 11, 2024
Let’s pull that bandaid off this morning on one of my favorite topics and get the weekend started off right!“Do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you” Luke 6:27-28 Wow, this is a tough one...We are called to forgive those that hurt us, unconditiona...
faithSeptember 19, 2024
So, 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! I’ve been watching a lot of news lately and it...
sufferingSeptember 17, 2024
So, yesterday I was talking about my process and how I write our devotionals to a friend who is in the group. I was sharing how I love to go back on occasions and see what was on my heart on this date in time. Well, It’s funny how God will tap you on the shoulder to remind you sometimes that “thi...
redemptionAugust 20, 2024
I spent some time last week doing some personal inventory, asking for redemption and then moving on. 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 disappointment...
humilityAugust 13, 2024
“So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility coun...
faithJuly 25, 2024
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 situation in my life the way I HAVE IT PLANNED, God always seems to reply in His way by show...
prayerJuly 24, 2024
“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...
callingJuly 12, 2024
What are you waiting for? I’ve been thinking about this simple question for over a week now. You see, last year I was being called to step away from a long career and focus on health, faith, family and friends. While I wasn’t really sure what it was going to look like, I soon realized God had big...
gods-faithfulnessJuly 11, 2024
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...

“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. Selah”Psalms 46:10-11 I like this verse but what is it t...

prayerMay 28, 2024
So, I’ve been reading and 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 ri...
faith-strengthMay 15, 2024
So you ever have some many things going on and really having to lean on the Lord to give you patience and strength and deliver you from a storm that won’t seem to subside? I have, and it got me asking myself how strong is my faith and is it strong enough to survive it? Am I ready to “walk on wate...

“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...
