Salty Peanuts is more random thoughts than devo. But as always, I hope it encourages you to view your trials through a different lens. The lens of His sovereign control over all we face. – Becky “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32 But as for you,Continue reading “Salty Peanuts”

“Where is this God of Yours?”
Day and night I have only tears for food, while my enemies continually taunt me, saying, “Where is this God of yours?” Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! … Now I am deeply discouraged, but I will remember you— Why are you cast down,Continue reading ““Where is this God of Yours?””
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?”
When, not if …
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.

And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. I will bring the blindContinue reading “Tangled Messes”
Whose Voice is that?
The following is a devotional I wrote (and just came across again) about 15 years ago. As much as I hate to admit it – I still have to wrestle through this issue. Maybe you do to. Perhaps you don’t get tripped up with the same lie, maybe the lie you hear, and fall for,Continue reading “Whose Voice is that?”
God is for You
When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You. In God, whose word I praise, In God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere man do to me? You have taken account of my wanderings; Put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book? This I know, God is for me. Psalm 56:3-5,8-9 NASBContinue reading “God is for You”
When the Extraordinary, becomes Ordinary
Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.

The extraordinary becoming ordinary. In the era ofContinue reading “When the Extraordinary, becomes Ordinary”
