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?”

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.

Holy Week
We have arrived. The most important week in all of human history. Holy week. A time to reflect on Jesus Christ, the very Lamb of God, who gave His life as a ransom for you and I.

Directions
Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.

Unknowns of Life…
He knows what is in the darkness… When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, You knew my path. Daniel 2:22b NASB Psalm 142:3a NASB The unknown. We all fear it. We avoid situations that cause it. We try to prevent it. But it’s unavoidable isn’t it? We have no idea what the traffic will beContinue reading “Unknowns of Life…”
“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?”
