November 6, 2023
Close your eyes for a minute and imagine that you’re continuing down your current path with your current definition of success. You see it? Stay with me. You keep working as hard as you’re working. And you keep prioritizing the things you’re prioritizing. What’s your life look like in say 5 years...
forgivenessNovember 3, 2023
Thank this in to the weekend…“He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.”Psalms 40:2-3 I have a past, I ha...
sufferingNovember 2, 2023
I see a lot of post and stories in the media (that which I allow myself to see) and people seem, generally speaking, so mad and angry. We protest everything for Pete’s sake. Many times I see them questioning God or if there even is one! Why do we sometimes get frustrated or angry with God? Let’s...
doubtNovember 1, 2023
As we fall into November with too much candy in our bellies, I wanted to touch on something I’ve been kicking around all week, doubt. While we talk about hope and good fruit all the time it seems as though it “pays better” to promote the opposite. You see, we sure live in a world of skepticism an...
angerOctober 31, 2023
So, I got to thinking about how we all fall into the trap of reacting too quickly and loudly when things aren’t going our way. We’re all imperfect, it’s ok, you can admit it. We all do it. In James we are told;“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow...
purposeOctober 30, 2023
I’ve had a lot time lately (and the last two years) to think about my life, where I am, who I am and what my time is worth. I’ve made the decision to stop wasting time with things that keep me from being who and what God’s calling me to be, it’s just exhausting...and you shouldn’t either. Don’t l...
transformationOctober 27, 2023
Good morning…Could things be the way they are because you are the way you are? What one thing can you change that can change everything? It’s simple. If you want to change, you change the way you think. So many people want to have a better life, but they continuously do the same thing over and ov...
courageOctober 26, 2023
“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 Some people seem to play life so safe against risk that they have little or no strength left to pursue their dreams and accomplish thei...
faithOctober 25, 2023
I was in treatment yesterday and I got to thinking about this past year and where I am. I’m not sure what you’ve been doing all year and if it’s even what God wants you to be doing, but I know God wants us to ask Him to get involved. He wants us to believe for the impossible because it requires u...
purposeOctober 24, 2023
Let’s shift gears a little and talk about where we are going? This time next year, where do you want to be? Who do you want to be? What type of follower of Christ, spouse or parent do you want to be? Whatever the answers are to those questions, know this: God’s calling you to live in the NOW & st...
faithOctober 23, 2023
We talk about our faith everyday. We lean on our faith to get through everyday. Our faith gives us hope. But what is Faith really?In Hebrews it tells us;“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”Hebrews 11:1 That’s it! It’s believing in something we canno...
discipleshipOctober 20, 2023
You know, its the most amazing gift knowing we have been saved and promised eternal life in Heaven. But have you ever wondered why we are still here since we’ve been saved and promised salvation? I have, to the extent I find myself anxiously awaiting my turn. But I think I know why we are still h...
joyOctober 19, 2023
I was just thinking last night about our country and the incredibly corrupt politicians and now nice it is that I have mostly tuned it out. I’m just not interested in giving it any more life than it deserves. “Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in he...
wisdomOctober 18, 2023
You know, I enjoy every minute of these devotionals I write and share every day. My prayer is that God blesses me with the knowledge and the wisdom to share His message in a meaningful and relatable way. I hope I am doing just that...But what is knowledge and wisdom after all? I’d say knowledge i...
guiltOctober 17, 2023
So, I spent some time yesterday thinking back to a long time friend who came to me a couple years ago after some struggles and looking to the Lord for renewal. When friends come to us, it’s our chance to bear witness to the Grace God has shown us. It’s our chance to share what has so freely and u...
surrenderOctober 16, 2023
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...
undeserved-graceOctober 13, 2023
I don’t know about you, but I get the “I don’t deserve this...” feeling a lot when I think about what God has done for me and my life. His salvation alone can be bewildering at times. It’s the opinion we have about ourselves and our past or present. You see, we have one set of convictions about o...
graceOctober 12, 2023
One of the things I think about a lot is the grace that God has shown me. Like in the song, “I was blind but now I see..”. But no matter how grateful I am, I still have the moments when I think back on my life to times that make me cringe. I look back and realize no matter how hard I tried, I mad...
spiritual-longingOctober 11, 2023
Hey, you ever get that feeling like there is something more? That you are chasing something in life that won’t fully satisfy you? I have. Pay close attention to that feeling though, it’s from God. We see people everyday who seem to be “put together”. People that have a lot of seat time in church...
fellowshipOctober 10, 2023
“For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them."”Matthew 18:20 Many of you on this devotional I’ve meet through work in one way or the other. That’s special to me because it tells me that people know just who I am and what I’m about. Last week, a broker I work with and I w...
gods-loveOctober 9, 2023
Almost everyday I like to look back at what I wrote and what we were talking about in the past years. It’s hard to believe I’ve been at this now since 2018. I am still humbled by the fact that you’re still here. Amazing really...so thank you. Anyhow, this is a throwback to two years ago. I rememb...
gods-sovereigntyOctober 6, 2023
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...
forgivenessOctober 5, 2023
Since I love the subject, I kind of want to stay on forgiveness a little longer. It seems the world is just out for revenge or quick to blame one party or the next....blah, blah, blah, you get the point. I mean sometimes we might hesitate to forgive someone because we don’t feel very forgiving to...
forgivenessOctober 4, 2023
So, a good friend of mine and I have recently been taking about the idea of forgiveness and I though I’d go back to my favorite subject again and talk about it. It’s the root of our salvation, so why not keep it in the forefront of our daily talks, right? “Forgiven people should be forgiving peop...
