Spending time with God and listening to and reading His Words is often all we need in this chaotic world.
God never makes a promise He cannot keep. We can count on Him to keep His word because His faithfulness is rooted in His character, and He never lies.
Ruach Elohim meets us where we are. He doesn’t wait for us to get it together first. He comes near in the middle of our mess, our questions, and our conflicts.
We can go through the motions of faith without yielding control. But when we acknowledge God as Adonai, faith moves from routine to relationship.
The weather changes. Our circumstances change. Our health and relationships and finances can change. But Yahweh Tsuri remains steadfast and reliable.
Let’s ask God to help us view suffering not as something to avoid or escape but as the portal through which we must pass to experience spiritual power.
Having a relationship with Jesus is foundational to finding rest for the soul, but we can take other actions to address our soul’s need for rest.
You may have experienced or witnessed events for which there was no human explanation, and seeing it unfold bolstered your faith.
God created me and you with an inherent need for rest. We often equate rest with sleep, but that’s only a small part of the whole picture.
Many of us experience feelings of unworthiness, but our emotions don’t diminish God’s love for us. He sees our flaws and failings, and He loves us anyway.
Sooner or later, every believer faces a crisis of belief. When deeply held beliefs about God waver, rest assured they cannot change the truth about who He is.
For several years, I’ve enjoyed the New Year’s practice of choosing one word on which to focus for twelve months. This year, my word is “walk.”
God “gets”us. He knows every thought we think, every tear we shed, and every desire whether verbalized or not. He knows, and He cares.
Life’s caves become classrooms where we learn deep spiritual truths. Let’s view them as places to experience God in rich, unique ways.
Each January, I prayerfully ask God for the word He knows will inspire personal growth and help me persevere through year. Here is this year’s word.
We give Jesus our load of concerns, and He gives us a gift more precious than gold–that’s how Jesus wants to work this gift exchange.
If you’re finding it hard to be happy at Christmas, know you’re not alone. Also know that your Everlasting Father invites you to nestle close to His heart.
That’s our Jesus! He’s our out-of-the-ordinary, beyond human explanation king who counsels us and leads us because He truly cares about us.
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.
The question, “How do we keep our focus on Jesus?” has no one-size-fits-all answer because every person’s situation is different.
Concerns kept coming to my mind. I wasn’t aware I’d picked up worry-weight til t began falling away. With every exhale, I felt lighter and freer.
Jesus is the Vine and the branches are those who believe in Him for salvation. The stronger and healthier the connection, the more spiritual fruit.
It seems I may overuse the word “awesome.” I didn’t realize how much until my three-year-old granddaughter began echoing me. Maybe the same is true for you.
Several years ago, I discovered the cure for anxious thoughts after a wrong assumption created tension in a relationship I considered precious.
He provides everything needed to satisfy our soul’s deepest longings, but we can only experience His goodness and grace by listening carefully.
In many cases, stuff happens because that’s the nature of things. But sometimes the devil is to blame, and I blame him for my recent misadventures.
I’m practicing perseverance on my wellness journey this summer despite the challenges, and I trust I’ll reap a harvest of restored wellness in due time.
“In Jesus name, amen”. I’ve been guilty of rattling off these words without much thought. So why is praying in Jesus’ name important, anyway?
My experience in a church nursery gives a good visual. A nervous toddler threw her arms around her mom’s neck and hung on to the one she knew loved her most.
When my kids were young, I felt like a parrot repeating: “God bless my kids and keep them safe.” That changed when I learned to use Scripture for my prayers.
Hearing God’s voice sounds mysterious, but it’s not, really. As God’s children, we can expect our heavenly Father to speak to us, and we can expect to hear Him.
Living in a northern British Columbian community for three months provided an ideal visual of what it means to be surrounded by God.
Truths about God are enough to begin and end everyday with a song of joy. He is powerful, filled with lovingkindness, and ready to be our refuge and strength.
Fixing our heart on God leads us to a safe place, a place where peace and clarity reign, a place where we find calm in chaos.
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.
Every member of Christ’s Body benefits when we discover, develop, and use our gifts. But the opposite is also true: the Body suffers when we fail to use them.
God’s goodness follows us in ways too many to count. Goodness is God giving us what we don’t deserve. Mercy is God not giving us what we deserve.
