This We Know – God is On Our Side
We all face unknowns. Some of them are small and insignificant. Others matter a great deal. But don’t be discouraged. God is on our side.

When we find ourselves in a difficult place, let’s neither fear nor lose hope. If God leads us to an impossible situation, then we are where He wants us to be.
When God tells us to trust Him, He means fully trust. We refrain from picking and choosing the concerns we feel are okay to give Him while clinging to others.
Someday we’ll know more fully than we know now. We’ll know more about God’s character and more about why He allowed certain circumstances into our lives.
David’s circumstances gave him no time to stop, catch his breath, and prepare for the next onslaught. The attacks just kept coming.
Challenging circumstances don’t have to disturb our inner peace. If we take Jesus’ words seriously, we can accept that trusting in God is the way to respond.
I was a Bible college sophomore when I sensed Him leading me to Belgium for a summer doing mission work. But I was a student with big dreams and empty pockets.
No one I know relishes taking a test but they reveal where we need to learn and grow. Remember God allows tests in our lives, but He always sits with us.
Are you like me, feeling concerned for your adult kids? Maybe you’re concerned about your marriage, your financial state, or a major decision coming your way.
God will never make a promise and then forget to honor it. He’ll never commit to doing something and then procrastinate. God always keeps His word.
We’re faced with a choice. We can camp our thoughts on lies or we can secure them on truth. Our choice influences our behaviors and determines our destiny.
Grant us a renewed understanding of Your sovereignty over the nations. Give us faith to believe that the man who wins does so by Your appointment.
God is right in everything He does. He’s right when He leads us down those sunlit paths, and He’s no less right when those paths lead into the dark places.
You may feel comfortable when you’re in control of your circumstances. But things can get a little hairy when it feels like life is whirling out of control.
To which voice do you most often listen? Listening to the voice of truth banishes the darkness and leads us into the light where peace, healing, and hope reign.
We trust strangers every day. Why, then, do we hesitate to trust the One who knows everything about us and whose intent toward us is good?
Looking back has its place and benefits. Spend a few minutes recalling one of God’s kindnesses toward you, one answered prayer, one act of provision.
I trust with ALL my heart, not just the part that I am comfortable giving Him. Acknowledging He is God replaces fear with courage and fills me with joy.
I enter 2016 with expectancy. How might God choose to use me in new ways? And how might He interrupt my safe and comfortable routine to accomplish His purposes?
If the Lord is our Leader, then we can trust Him and His ways. He knows the dangers that lurk and the battles He wants to avoid on our behalf.
Scripture reminds us to yield control and trust the Lord. To close our eyes, let go, and fall into His arms. And He promises: “I will never fail you.”
Four days ago I walked on the Great Wall of China. It’s an amazing feat of human engineering considering modern-day machinery and technology didn’t exist.
Whatever challenges you face, know that you’re not alone. Jesus is with you, and He promises to set your feet on solid ground and keep you from falling.
Have you ever sensed God asking you to do something that scared you witless? I have. I’m thankful for those experiences because they grew my faith.
Why do we think we can do life well on our own? We do our own thing, settling for less than God’s best in the process, and then we whine about the outcome.
It’s Monday morning, and things aren’t going the way I’d planned. I’m writing this in the emergency room, sitting with my husband who was admitted 14 hours ago.
I hold my month-old grandson and marvel at the wonder of little people and their complete dependence on others for everything.
Sometimes we run ahead of God’s timing, or try to manipulate our circumstances. Why? Because we doubt God’s ability to fulfill His purposes for us.
Giving thanks when life’s easy is well, easy. Doing it when life hurts is another thing. That’s when expressing gratitude is most important.
I’m overwhelmed with how God has shown His delight in every detail of my family’s life over the past six weeks. My faith has grown to a new level as a result.
Watching God answer specific prayers exceeding abundantly above on Kim and David’s behalf has been such a delight. And He’ll do the same for you.
Fear is rampant but it needn’t paralyze us. Here’s how we can move from fear to freedom.
Facing discouragement? Facing desperate circumstances? Be encouraged today. God knows the path through the deep waters. Trust Him.
I have no idea why God has allowed this to happen, but this one thing I know–He hears me when I cry for help and He will answer.
Unfortunately, my strong Sunday school theology hasn’t always served me well. It’s been put to the test on occasion and found sorely lacking.
God rides across the heavens to help us. He rushes across the skies in majestic splendor to rescue us. He sees us from afar, and He rides the wind to save us.
