Trust in the Lord with all my heart. Oh, that I would trust my God. Lord, that I would trust You, that You are leading me. My life may look quite different from those around me. It may look quite different from those in and of the world. It may look quite different from Christians…

God’s Initiative: Seeking His Own
God came to Abraham. God made the covenant with Abraham. God took the initiative. It was God’s idea. It’s all laid out in Genesis 17. We don’t see much about Abraham. He gave his tithe to Melchizedek. He let Lot pick the land. He didn’t take any spoils when he rescued Lot. He seems like…
He Gives Us What We Need
The Lord gives us what we need. He gives me what I need. He gives you what you need. The Spirit of the Lord spoke to me to rest. He knew I needed it. Yet, I argued with Him. I questioned Him. “Really, Lord? Is this from You?” Even as He led me and directed…
To Walk With God
There’s one thing I want, really. It’s simple. It’s straightforward. It’s everything. It’s profound. I want to walk with God. Noah walked with God (Genesis 6:9). Enoch walked with God (Genesis 5:24). David was a man after God’s own heart (Acts 13:22). In their lifetimes, these men stood out. They gave up the world. They…

Feeling and Knowing
“I am always with you. I am with you.” The Lord is always with us even when it doesn’t seem like it. When we can’t feel Him, He is with us. The Bible never talks about feeling God that I’m aware of. It talks about loving God. It talks about knowing Him. It talks about…
The Lord Loves You – Remain in Him
I asked the Lord for a word from Him for those reading my blog. He spoke, and as He did, I realized He was speaking to me. This word He was blessing me with was a word for me. So I spent some time taking it in, meditating on it, pondering what He’s saying here.…
Seek God First
Let me not lose sight of all You’ve taught me about Your provision. Nothing takes You by surprise. No matter what my circumstances, and no matter how things change, nothing takes You by surprise. And You don’t change. You are faithful. You are my provider and You provide regardless of what this world shouts at…
