Release the Weight

Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail). Casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you. Psalm 55:22 AMPC and 1 Peter 5:7 NASB 1977 I am soContinue reading “Release the Weight”

A Testimony of “Through”

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as weContinue reading “A Testimony of “Through””

Glory to God?

Recently, I came across this years-old devotional I’d written, and couldn’t help but think of those walking through knee-deep trials right now. Pain that lays us bare and can cause even the strongest and God-honoring to cry “uncle”, this is too hard! If that’s you – I am so sorry for what you’re walking through.Continue reading “Glory to God?”

Prodigals (and those who love them)

Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons. The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them. After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wildContinue reading “Prodigals (and those who love them)”

All Who Are Weary…

“Come to Me, all who are weary and 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. But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made theContinue reading “All Who Are Weary…”

Wrapped in a Bow

God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28 NASB 1995 To give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called treesContinue reading “Wrapped in a Bow”

“Recipe” for Peace?

Be still and rest in the Lord; wait for Him and patiently lean yourself upon Him; fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.  Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests),Continue reading ““Recipe” for Peace?”

Shattered Snow-globe

Please forgive the rerun – this devo keeps bubbling up in my heart, so I decided to send it out again. Just a reminder, as followers of Christ, we will walk through the same tragedies, the same pain and the same every-day struggles as other folks. And yet … we are not walking alone. We have noContinue reading “Shattered Snow-globe”
