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.…

Praying The Lord’s Prayer
This came from a question I had for the Lord at a difficult time. My question was this: Lord, how do I pray in unity with You, in a way that blesses You and honors You? And this is how I received His answer. Father in heaven, Your name is holy. Let Your kingdom come.…
When I Don’t Want to Give Thanks
I will give thanks to the Lord according to His righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High (Psalm 7:17). We are called to give thanks. This I know. In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus (1 Thessalonians 5:18). I know…
Sustained
It’s not up to me. I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustains me (Psalm 3:5). The Lord sustains me. Even in a simple thing like waking up, the Lord sustains me. Life keeps picking up speed. Worries of this world abound. “Will I have time for everything?” And, “I don’t have…
When I Have Questions
How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked…But his delight is in the law of the Lord. (Psalm 1:1-2) There are so many questions that I have. Some are small, seemingly insignificant things. But to me, they matter. So I know they matter to the Lord. Some are…

The dwelling places of the Lord are lovely (Psalm 84:1). So often I want a lovely place to go, to rest in, to find refreshment. This world is not restful. There are beautiful places. There are retreats to be had, but the day to day, the demands, the trials, the work are constant. This is…
A Willing Spirit
Sustain me with a willing spirit. (Psalm 51:12 NASB) I know the Lord sustains me. I know this because I would not be here otherwise. He’s sustained me through everything — good and bad. Knowing that He’s sustained me isn’t the problem. My problem seems to be with the willing spirit part. On the one…
Knowing and Understanding
God is faithful. He is trustworthy. He is good. He is just. He is righteous. His ways are higher than my ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). He uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise (1 Corinthians 1:27). These things I know. But the truth is, I often don’t understand all these things. I…
Nothing Wasted
Paul had it all figured out in his early years. He was a Pharisee of Pharisees who had studied under the renowned Gamaliel (Philippians 3:5). His future was clear. He knew he was going where God wanted. Right? Enter Jesus, blinding Paul on the road to Damascus, blinding Paul when Paul was on what he…
