I cry aloud to God, and He will hear me. In the day of my trouble, I seek the Lord; in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying; my soul refuses to be comforted…I am so troubled that I cannot speak. Then I said, “I will appeal to this, to the years of theContinue reading “When Pain Steals our Voice”

That’s Impossible
Impossible. The word is pregnant with hopelessness and resignation. Today, while maneuvering through the morning rush of traffic, I talked with the Lord about a couple impossible situations in front of me. Situations that have lingered. For years. (Maybe you have a few yourself). As I shared my heart with Him, a long-ago memorized ScriptureContinue reading “That’s Impossible”

Recently, when an unexpected trial showed up in my life, the Lord reminded me of this decades-old devo. Written in 2009, much has happened since that day nearly 20 years ago, but one thing remains the same… Life will always provide us with tests, trials and challenges. Sometimes of our own making and sometimes not. TheContinue reading “Stop, Drop and _______”

Offering God “Advice”
When they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.

Fact or Fiction?
Believe it or not, I’ve been writing devotions “for difficult days” for over twenty-five years. Some of those days and seasons of life have been profoundly painful and others, just a pebble-in-my-shoe irritation. But in each situation I have landed (eventually) on two bedrock truths: 1. God is good and entirely faithful, no matter theContinue reading “Fact or Fiction?”
What’s Your Paper Trail Look Like?
For we walk by faith, not by sight [living our lives in a manner consistent with our confident belief in God’s promises]— 2 Corinthians 5:7 Amplified Bible For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory that is far beyond comparison. So we fix our eyes not on whatContinue reading “What’s Your Paper Trail Look Like?”
