When the road gets long, or hard, or just plain strange, it’s easy to wonder how in the world we got where we are, or if we should be in this place at all. But God is the one who directs our steps, and God doesn’t make mistakes (Proverbs 16:9; Psalm 37:23-24). I pray that…

Making Mistakes and Following God
I’m going to make mistakes. We all make mistakes. I don’t like making mistakes, and if you’re anything like me, you don’t either. I don’t like the consequences. I don’t like finding out that I hurt someone. It hurts. And truth be told, it’s humiliating. Can you relate? With so many of the mistakes I…
God Provides Enough
There is always enough with the Lord. There will be enough for you. His ways are not the ways of the world. Do not fear when the enemy tempts with his ways. In this world we have tribulation (John 16:33). We have troubles. But God is enough. He sees us through the troubles. He always…
Go To God
God directed Moses and he followed. Moses did what the Lord told him to do. He put God first and walked by faith. He stood firm against Pharaoh. He didn’t compromise. It would’ve been so easy to negotiate, not hold fast to the direction of the Lord, and at least get some quick relief for…
Praise In All Times and Seasons
God never says to be sad, or miserable, or irritable, or to feel sorry for ourselves. He only ever says to praise Him and thank Him and to call on Him. He is faithful and good. Our moods and feelings come and go, but the Lord is steadfast. His mercies are new every morning. His…
Thanks and Praise Continually
And he [David] appointed some of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the Lord, even to celebrate and to thank and to praise the Lord God of Israel (1 Chronicles 16:4). I would do well to remember that there were priests of my holy God continually thanking Him and praising Him. When there’s…
God is Faithful
God is faithful. I know this. I know it well. Yet, I confess, sometimes it sounds like a shallow platitude. When someone is hurting from major distress or hurting from minor, constant pervasive trials, I wonder if my answer sounds pat, or too simple. When I’m struggling with big or little problems, for the long…
Fear, Redemption, and My Faithful God
Lot was a righteous man living in a wicked time and city (2 Peter 2:7). Yet when it was time for the city to be destroyed, he was afraid. He hesitated to leave (Genesis 19:16). And once God got him out of Sodom, he was afraid again. Lot was afraid to flee to the mountains…
Trust in the Lord
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…
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…
