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…
Reflections
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…
Give Thanks
I was up the other night praying about a frustrating situation. It’s not really a bad thing, just something that’s inconvenient. As I prayed, the Holy Spirit whispered to my heart. I knew the next words of my prayer needed to be thanks for the situation and only thanks. So I started thanking the Lord.…
Worthy of Praise
The Lord is worthy of praise. He is worthy of praise no matter my circumstance, no matter my busyness or overwhelm, no matter my mood. He is worthy of praise. He is worthy of my praise. He is first. That’s my God. He is the One who created the heavens and the earth. He is…
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…

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…
Walking In Light
If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.…
Flood, Fire, and Passing Through
When we are in Christ, we are clothed in Him. We are covered by Him. We are sheltered by Him. No disaster comes near our tent — no harm shall overcome you (Psalm 91:10). On the day of judgement, we are saved by Him. …by the word of God…the earth was formed out of water…
