Out with the Old: Embracing God's New Beginning
Hope everyone had a great weekend!I have recently made the decision to let go of something that’s been in my life since I was 26 years old. It’s been a decision I couldn’t do on my own but I’ve finally decided on “out with the old and in with the new”! Nope, it’s not a new dirt bike or airplane!...

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...

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...

The Lord is My Shepherd: Finding Rest in the Storm
As a thought about what to write last night I was just laying there quietly reflecting on everything when I saw a book on my nightstand my dad had given me about the promise of the Psalm of David, Psalm 23. “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He lea...

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...

Living a Lifestyle of Quick Forgiveness
Today you may have a specific person in mind that you need to forgive. Some of us have had very painful things happen to us, even a long time ago, that need to be forgiven. Forgiveness is truly freedom for our hearts, and peace for our soul. But aside from being able to forgive and put major issu...

Breaking Free from Stubborn Independence
I don’t know about y’all, but I’m pretty dang independent. If independent is defined by stubborn and bull headed, then yep, that’s me. It’s so stupid too. I know I need to bring God into everything I do, but without fail I will embark on “whatever” and before you know it I’m frustrated and beatin...

When Good Things Don't Happen to Good People
I got to thinking about last weeks talks of “doing good” and how it seems there is this weird idea of God Karma or something some people have. What I mean by that is it seems as though we can fall into the trap of thinking if we do good, God will reward us with good stuff. Conversely, if we don’t...

Trust God's Perfect Plan for Your Life
Look, most of us have large expectations for our life and what it’s going to looks like. What it looks like for each of us varies as much as the differences in each of us. That’s ok. Whatever our ambitions, most of us have at least some idea of what our futures might hold.All well and good. But t...

Waiting to be Immersed in the Holy Spirit
We ended the week talking about waiting. This is a tough one for me and so I’ve continued my dive into this idea that I can somehow learn to “wait” or be “patient” for what’s to come. I have to remember that time and time again, we are told to wait and “it” will be revealed. Just as John the Bapt...

Surviving Life's Frustrations with God's Help
The election not go your way? Didn’t for me, at least I don’t think so. But, in the end I look at it like this. Since my birth in 1969, there have been 6 Republicans (31 years)and 3 Democrats (20 years) as President. To date, If you’re reading this, you’ve survived them all. I suspect regardless...

Finding Purpose in the Waiting Place
So, yesterday I mentioned I was reminded that God’ s timing is perfect. And while I have to agree, it’s the time before that “perfect timing” that is the most difficult. I know it is for me. Think about when you aren’t where you used to be but not yet where you want to be. And you find yourself i...

Let Go and Let God - His Perfect Timing
You know, it’s amazing how things will magically fall into place when you loose the illusion of control. You see, when you try and control everything, you enjoy nothing. So, no matter what your going through today, what you’re dealing with today...relax, breathe, let go and just really try and li...

When God Says No: He's Saving You From Yourself
I had an idea over the weekend. I thought I’d do a look back as to what we talked about this time last year and see where we are today. Should be fun, so take the time to read what we talked about a year ago this week and reflect on if we have applied anything. Am I better, worse, same?9/20/2019I...

Why Detours Are Good Things That Feel Bad
I don’t know about you, but when I think back on the road God has sent me down in my life, it a miracle I ended up here. I mean, I’m probably no alone in that the path we’ve all taken has been full of detours and side roads along the way. But as I reflected over the long weekend while I flew and...

Forgiving Those Who Hurt You: Give Up the Right to Get Even
“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, unconditionally. Because if it’s with condition, it’s not forgiveness. We need to pray for them and for God to bless the...

Choosing His Will Over Our Own
“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...

We Ain't Got This - God Does
I had a great conversation with one of my friends and we were discussing times when we feel like “we got this” and we believe in our own selves and stop relying on God. You see this is caused by or led by Pride, the first sin. Pride tells us that we can do what want and we are enamored with ourse...

Who's Really Doing the Waiting?
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...

Trusting God Through Disappointment
If you’ve ever competed in anything or spent much time trying to accomplish anything, then I’m sure you’re familiar with disappointment. I say this in jest, because clearly we’ve all had disappointments in our lives. However, the disappointments we face can either keep us where we are or catapult...

God Establishes Your Steps Through Life's Storms
“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”Proverbs 16:9 ESVMost of us do the best we can in the ways we've been taught. Family traditions, business training, and life experiences pretty much shape who we are and how we think. Regardless of our upbringing or professional...

Ever been disappointed? Of course you have. Ever been disappointed in yourself? Yup. No question we all have and it can come from many different things. We can be disappointed in other people, events or even disappointed in ourselves when things don’t go the way we expected. I mean let’s face it,...
