Let me never forget that the Lord is faithful. His word is true. And His word is good. When things go wrong or there’s a challenge in front of me, so often my knee-jerk reaction is to take it on as my own battle. I see it as a problem that needs to be fixed…

God Gives Us What We Need
God gives us what we need for the time when we need it. Paul was a Roman citizen. When Paul was about to be scourged, his citizenship stopped it. The Lord knows my future. He knows what I need today to prepare me for tomorrow. He knew Paul would need his Roman citizenship at a…
God Is Sovereign
“Did you forget that I’m sovereign?” That’s what the Lord asked me this morning. I was inclined to say, “Of course not.” It was my knee-jerk response. But then I stopped short. Why was the Lord asking me this? If I hadn’t forgotten, then why was He putting His finger there? The truth is, as…
He Holds Me Fast
The Lord is in His temple. He is on His throne (Isaiah 66:1). He is over all. He sees all. He is with me. None of that changes. Ever. I might change, but He doesn’t. Where can I go from His Spirit? Where can I hide from Him? (Psalm 139:7) There is nowhere. There is…
When God Doesn’t Answer
I’ve met people who’ve told me that if God would do a certain thing, then they would believe. Or, if God would answer a certain prayer, then they would believe. Or if God would speak to them, or give them miracles like others have had, or somehow reveal Himself to them, then they would believe.…
God is Faithful
What can I say? God is faithful. He is always faithful. Whether everything’s going great or everything’s falling apart, God is faithful. This I know. When I can’t hear Him or feel Him, when I pray and don’t get an answer, or when I get answers, but they’re the opposite of what I’m asking, when…
Walk In Truth
Jesus turned the other cheek. In the face of accusation, He turned the other cheek. He gave one straight answer: “It is as you say. (Matthew 27:11).” Then, He was silent. He did not defend Himself. What more was there to say? Their accusations were actually true. Jesus was, and is, King. Jesus confirmed that.…
A Prayer Through Psalm 54
Save me, O God, by Thy Name, and vindicate me by Thy power. Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. For strangers have risen against me, and violent men have sought my life; they have not set God before them. Selah. (Psalm 54:1-3) I set You before me, Lord.…
Rest For My Soul
“Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls (Matthew 11:29).” That’s all I want. Rest for my soul. That’s it. No striving or straining to get it right, to figure it out. Just rest. Rest for my soul.…
God Made Today
This is the day that the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:24). I write this a lot. I think I’ve had a few other posts about it. But I don’t think I can overdo this one. This day, God made. God made this day. Sun or rain, wind…
